"People used to believe that there are men's jobs and women's jobs. But now, things are changing. Slowly, slowly women are getting into the industry or into the jobs which people think are for men."
辛迪·莫圖哈艾托波哈維 莫科羅船撐篙手
“人們過去認為男人有男人的工作，女人有女人的工作。但現(xiàn)在，情況不一樣了。女性正在逐漸涉足以往被認為屬于男性的行業(yè)和工作。”

"I started learning how to pole on the Mokoro at the age of 12 because I grew up in a village whereby it was our source of transport. At first, I was nervous. At first, I was thinking: 'What would people say? No, this is a man's job.' Then something [came] into my mind that, no, I need to make a change. And I need to set an example to every woman to show that everything is possible, as long as you have passion, confidence and love for what you are doing."

“我12歲起學(xué)習(xí)在莫科羅船上撐篙，因為在我長大的村莊里，莫科羅船是我們出行使用的交通工具。起初，我很緊張。一開始我想：我以撐船為業(yè)，人們會怎么說？‘不行，這是男人的工作?！?然后我突然想到，不行，我需要做出改變。我需要為女性樹立一個榜樣，告訴大家一切皆有可能，只要你對自己所做的事情充滿熱情、自信和愛，就能達成目標。”
Khoury Ibrahim, tourist
"Well, I've never had a female guide on a safari-type experience before or, really, that many female guides in general with outdoor experiences. So, it's really nice to have a female guide, especially as a woman myself, to be able to connect with other women in this way, which I don't usually get to do."
庫莉·易卜拉欣 游客
“我以前從未遇見過女導(dǎo)游帶領(lǐng)獵游，帶領(lǐng)戶外游的女導(dǎo)游本來就不多。所以，有女導(dǎo)游帶我玩真是太好了，尤其是作為一名女性，能夠以這種方式和其他女性交流，我平時沒有這種機會。”
