Alaa Murabitina obitelj preselila se iz Kanade u Libiju kada je imala 15 godina. Prije toga, osjećala se ravnopravnom s braćom, ali u novom okruženju primijetila je velike zapreke do onoga što želi postići. Kao ponosna Muslimanka, zapitala se: Je li ovo stvarno religijska nauka? S humorom, strašću i osvježavajućim buntovnim duhom, s nama dijeli kako je otkrila primjere ženskih vođa kroz povijest svoje vjere i pokrenula kampanju koja se bori za ženska prava koristeći citate izravno iz Kurana.

I had to be there when she was trying

05:07
as if they meant the same thing
and had the same consequences.
and had the same consequences.
77
295118
4319
kao da znače istu stvar
i imaju iste posljedice.
i imaju iste posljedice.
05:11
And I found myself in conversation
after conversation with classmates
after conversation with classmates
78
299437
4737
Tako sam iz razgovora
u razgovor s kolegama
u razgovor s kolegama
05:16
and colleagues, professors,
friends, even relatives,
friends, even relatives,
79
304174
3436
i poznanicima, profesorima,
prijateljima, čak i rođacima,

05:19
beginning to question my own rule
and my own aspirations.
and my own aspirations.
80
307610
4783
počela preispitivati vlastita pravila
i osobne težnje.
i osobne težnje.
05:24
And even with the foundation
my parents had provided for me,
my parents had provided for me,
81
312393
3530
Čak i s temeljima koja su
mi moji roditelji pružili,
mi moji roditelji pružili,
05:27
I found myself questioning
the role of women in my faith.
the role of women in my faith.
82
315923
4295
dovela sam u pitanje
ulogu žena u mojoj vjeri.
ulogu žena u mojoj vjeri.
05:32
So at the Murabit School
of International Affairs,
of International Affairs,
83
320218
4179
Tako smo u Murabit Školi
međunarodnih poslova,
međunarodnih poslova,
05:36
we go very heavy on the debate,
84
324397
2740
ušli u jako tešku raspravu,
05:39
and rule number one is do your research,
so that's what I did,
so that's what I did,
85
327137
5495
a pravilo broj jedan bilo je istražiti,
što sam i učinila,
što sam i učinila,
05:44
and it surprised me how easy it was
86
332640
3785
i iznenadilo me kako je bilo lako
05:48
to find women in my faith
who were leaders,
who were leaders,
87
336425
4017
pronaći žene u mojoj vjeri
koje su bile vođe,
koje su bile vođe,
05:52
who were innovative, who were strong --
88
340442
3552

politically, economically,
even militarily.

Khadija financed the Islamic movement
90
347360
3391
Khadija je financirala Islamski pokret
06:02
in its infancy.
91
350751
1661
u ranom djetinjstvu.
06:04
We wouldn't be here if it weren't for her.
92
352562
2445
Ne bismo bili ovdje da nije bilo nje.
06:07
So why weren't we learning about her?
93
355627
2647
Pa zašto onda ne učimo o njoj?
06:10
Why weren't we learning about these women?
94
358274
2921
Zašto nismo učili o ovim ženama?
06:13
Why were women being relegated
to positions which predated
to positions which predated
95
361195
2791
Zašto su žene degradirane
na pozicije na kojima su
na pozicije na kojima su
06:15
the teachings of our faith?
96
363986
2670
bile prije učenja naše vjere?
06:18
And why, if we are equal
in the eyes of God,
in the eyes of God,
97
366656
2275
I zašto, ako smo jednaki
u Božjim očima,
u Božjim očima,
06:20
are we not equal in the eyes of men?
98
368931
3102
nismo jednaki u očima ljudi?
06:24
To me, it all came back to the lessons
I had learned as a child.
I had learned as a child.
99
372623
5067
Za mene, sve se svodi na lekcije
koje sam naučila kao dijete.

06:34
is sitting at the table,
101
382022

koja je prisutna,
06:36
and unfortunately,
in every single world faith,

102
384604

a nažalost,
ni u jednoj svjetskoj religiji,
ni u jednoj svjetskoj religiji,
06:41
they are not women.
103
389504
2646
ta osoba nije žena.

then we can't realistically

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Alaa Murabit - Peace expertAlaa Murabit champions women’s participation in peace processes and conflict mediation.
Why you should listen
Alaa Murabit's family moved from Canada to Libya when she was 15. Brought up in a Muslim household where she was equal to her brothers, she was shocked to see how women were viewed and treated in her new country. She enrolled in medical school, but felt frustrated by the gender discrimination she experienced.
During her fifth year in med school, the Libyan Revolution broke out. Murabit was invigorated by how women were embraced as decision-makers in the movement. She founded The Voice of Libyan Women (VLW) to focus on challenging societal and cultural norms to make that the case all the time. Many VLW programs -- like the Noor Campaign, which uses Islamic teaching to combat violence against women -- have been replicated internationally.
Murabit is an advisor to many international security boards, think tanks and organizations, including the UN Women Global Civil Society Advisory Group and Harvard’s Everywoman Everywhere Coalition. An Ashoka Fellow, Murabit was a Trust Women Hero Award Winner in 2013.
