It’s been 18 months since Suraya Shaheedi, a 26-year-old, divorced single mother, started her mobile tattoo shop in the capital, Kabul. She’s received death threats for taking on the taboo.
26歲離婚單親媽媽蘇拉雅‧夏希蒂（譯音），在（阿富汗）首都喀布爾開設流動刺青店已18個月。她因為挑戰這項禁忌，多次收到死亡威脅。
Close to 40% of Afghanistan’s eligible girls are not allowed by their families to go to school, and almost 20% are forced to leave school after grade six, according to a survey.
根據一項調查，近40％阿富汗屆齡女童不被家人允許上學，近20％讀完六年級就被強迫中輟。
Shaheedi divorced her husband eight years ago while she was pregnant. She and her son now live with her parents. Her father supports her work, even though Afghanistan’s patriarchal society forbids a woman from touching a man to whom she is not related or married.
夏希蒂8年前在懷孕期間與丈夫離婚，現在帶著兒子與雙親同住。即使阿富汗的父權社會禁止女性碰觸非婚姻關係或與自己沒有關係的男性，但她的父親仍支持她的工作。
"I support my daughter in every way, and she makes me proud the way she’s stood against this taboo," her father said.
她的父親說：「我在各方面都挺我的女兒，她勇抗禁忌的方式讓我很自豪。」
