A mother of five children in Gaza is the Palestinian territory’s first woman taxi driver.Thirty-nine-year-old Naela Abu Jibba says she likes her job although some people make fun of her for doing it.“I get lots of offensive (social media) comments,” she recently told Reuters news agency.“But the encouraging comments are far greater.”Abu Jibba says some of the negative comments target her driving abilities.“Some say this is a job for men, others say we cause accidents, when the fact is, women are calmer and more careful drivers than men,” she said.Abu Jibba only takes women in her taxi. They must request service ahead of time. Many tell her they feel calmer being driven by her than men.“When a woman exits a hair-dresser shop - going to a party dressed and wearing makeup - she feels better riding with a woman,” she said.
加沙一位育有五个孩子的母亲成为巴勒斯坦国内首位女出租车司机。39岁的奈拉・阿布・吉芭（Naela Abu Jibba）表示，她喜欢这份工作，尽管遭到别人的取笑。最近她告诉路透社：“我（在社交媒体上）收到了很多攻击性的评论，但令人振奋的评论要多得多。”阿布・吉芭表示有一些针对她驾驶能力的负面评论。她说：“有人说这是男人的工作，也有人说女司机会制造交通事故，而事实上女人开车要比男人开车更冷静、更小心。”阿布・吉芭的出租车只载女客人，而且她们必须提前预约乘车服务。很多人告诉她，坐她的车比坐男司机的车更安心。她说：“当女性朋友做完发型或者穿好礼服化着妆去参加聚会，和女性同行会让她感觉更舒服一点。”
