Porodica Ale Murabit prešla je iz Kanade u Libiju kada je ona imala 15 godina. Pre toga se osećala kao ravnopravna sa svojom braćom, ali u ovom novom okruženju je osetila velike zabrane u vezi sa time šta ona može da postigne. Kao ponosna muslimanka, zapitala se: da li je ovo zaista verska doktrina? Sa humorom, strašću i osvežavajuće buntovnim duhom, ona deli kako je otkrila primere liderki iz čitave istorije svoje vere - i kako je pokrenula kampanju da bi se borila za ženska prava, koristeći stihove direktno iz Kurana.

03:20
Lucky for you, she's here.

But being one of 11 children

03:28
teaches you a lot about
power structures and alliances.

It teaches you focus; you have
to talk fast or say less,

53
200600
2803
03:35
because you will always get cut off.

03:49
But the most important lesson
I learned growing up

58
217172
4272
Ali najvažnija lekcija
koju sam naučila odrastajući
koju sam naučila odrastajući
03:53
was the importance of being at the table.
59
221444
3530
je važnost toga da se bude za stolom.
Kada se omiljena lampa moje mame polomila,
morala sam da budem tu kada je pokušavala

03:56
When my mom's favorite lamp broke,
I had to be there when she was trying

04:00
to find out how and by who,
because I had to defend myself,

4529
da sazna kako se to desilo i ko je
to uradio, jer sam morala da se branim,

04:05
because if you're not,
then the finger is pointed at you,

62
233334
3783
jer ako se ne braniš,
onda je prst uperen u tebe,

04:09
and before you know it,
you will be grounded.
you will be grounded.
63

i kažnjen si dok trepneš.
04:11
I am not speaking
from experience, of course.

64
239741
3277
Ne pričam iz iskustva, naravno.

When I was 15 in 2005,
I completed high school and I moved

iz Kanade - Saskatuna -

u Zaviju,
rodni grad mojih roditelja u Libiji,

04:28
a very traditional city.
68
256319
2392
vrlo tradicionalan grad.
04:30
Mind you, I had only ever been
to Libya before on vacation,
to Libya before on vacation,
69
258711
4819
Pazite, pre toga sam bila u Libiji
samo na odmoru,
samo na odmoru,
04:35
and as a seven-year-old girl,
it was magic.
it was magic.
70
263530
4376
kao devojčica od sedam godina,
i bilo je čarobno.
i bilo je čarobno.
04:39
It was ice cream and trips to the beach
and really excited relatives.

71
267906
4992
Tu su bili sladoled, izleti na plaži
i jako uzbudljivi rođaci.

04:45
Turns out it's not the same
as a 15-year-old young lady.

72
273468
5002
Ispostavilo se
da nije isto za gospođicu od 15 godina.
da nije isto za gospođicu od 15 godina.
04:50
I very quickly became introduced
to the cultural aspect of religion.
to the cultural aspect of religion.
73
278470
5968
Vrlo brzo sam upoznata
sa kulturnim aspektom religije.

04:56
The words "haram" --

Reči "haram"

05:04
were exchanged carelessly,
76
292402
2716
su bile nepromišljeno razmenjivane,
05:07
as if they meant the same thing
and had the same consequences.
and had the same consequences.
77
295118
4319
kao da označavaju istu stvar
i imaju iste posledice.
i imaju iste posledice.
05:11
And I found myself in conversation
after conversation with classmates
after conversation with classmates
78
299437
4737
I našla sam se razgovoru za razgovorom
sa školskim drugovima
sa školskim drugovima
05:16
and colleagues, professors,
friends, even relatives,
friends, even relatives,
79
304174
3436
i kolegama, profesorima,
prijateljima, čak i rođacima,
prijateljima, čak i rođacima,
05:19
beginning to question my own rule
and my own aspirations.
and my own aspirations.
80
307610
4783
počevši da dovodim u pitanje
svoja pravila i svoje težnje.
svoja pravila i svoje 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 sa osnovom
koju su mi roditelji pružili,
koju su mi 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
počela sam da preispitujem
ulogu žene u mojoj veri.
ulogu žene u mojoj veri.
05:32
So at the Murabit School
of International Affairs,
of International Affairs,
83
320218
4179
U Murabitovoj školi međunarodnih odnosa
05:36
we go very heavy on the debate,
84
324397
2740
se naporno debatuje,
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
i prvo pravilo je obaviti istraživanje,
stoga sam to i uradila,
stoga sam to i uradila,
05:44
and it surprised me how easy it was
86
332640
3785
i iznenadilo me je koliko je lako bilo
05:48
to find women in my faith
who were leaders,
who were leaders,
87
336425
4017
pronaći žene u mojoj veri koje su lideri,
05:52
who were innovative, who were strong --
88
340442
3552
koje su inovativne i jake -
05:55
politically, economically,
even militarily.
even militarily.
89
343994
3366
politički, ekonomski, čak i vojno.
05:59
Khadija financed the Islamic movement
90
347360
3391
Hatidža je finansirala islamski pokret
06:02
in its infancy.
91
350751
1661
u njegovim ranim danima.
06:04
We wouldn't be here if it weren't for her.
92
352562
2445
Ne bismo bili ovde da nije nje.
06:07
So why weren't we learning about her?
93
355627
2647
Pa zašto ne učimo o njoj?
06:10
Why weren't we learning about these women?
94
358274
2921
Zašto ne učimo o ovim ženama?
06:13
Why were women being relegated
to positions which predated
to positions which predated
95
361195
2791
Zašto su žene potisnute na položaje
koji su prethodili
koji su prethodili
06:15
the teachings of our faith?
96
363986
2670
učenjima naše vere?
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 očima Boga,
06:20
are we not equal in the eyes of men?
98
368931
3102
nismo jednaki u očima muškaraca?
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
Vratile su mi se lekcije
koje sam naučila kao dete.
koje sam naučila kao dete.
06:30
The decision maker, the person
who gets to control the message,
who gets to control the message,
100
378350
3672
Onaj ko donosi odluke,
osoba koja upravlja porukama,
osoba koja upravlja porukama,
06:34
is sitting at the table,
101
382022
2582
sedi za stolom,
06:36
and unfortunately,
in every single world faith,
in every single world faith,
102
384604
4900
i nažalost, u svakoj svetskoj religiji,
06:41
they are not women.
103
389504
2646
to nije žena.
06:44
Religious institutions
are dominated by men

104
392150
3042
Verskim institucijama dominiraju muškarci
06:47
and driven by male leadership,
105
395192
1951
i muško rukovodstvo upravlja njima,
06:49
and they create policies
in their likeness,
in their likeness,
106
397143
3436
a oni postavljaju pravila
u skladu sa sobom,
u skladu sa sobom,
06:52
and until we can change
the system entirely,
the system entirely,
107
400579
4093
i dok god ne budemo mogli
da taj sistem u potpunosti promenimo,
da taj sistem u potpunosti promenimo,
06:56
then we can't realistically
expect to have full economic
expect to have full economic
108
404672
3267
ne možemo realno očekivati da dobijemo

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.
