The male-dominated field made my presence

這個男性主導的領域
讓我的存在一點都不受歡迎。

unwelcome by all possible means.

must not do a man's job.

Three of my colleagues

went as far as to drive me to an open air strike area

00:56
where the explosion sounds

在那裡我能聽見的只有爆炸聲。

我腳下的地面震動得如盪鞦韆。
01:06
I only realized we weren't
there to document the event

後來我發現我們根本
沒有要在那做報導，
沒有要在那做報導，
01:09
when the three of them got back into the armored Jeep
22
57878

因為他們三個人
回到裝甲吉普車上，
回到裝甲吉普車上，
01:12
and drove away, waving and laughing,

2654
揮手大笑地揚長而去，
01:15
leaving me behind in the open air strike zone.
24
63502

3037
有一瞬間，我嚇壞了，
01:23
humiliated, and sorry for myself.
26

感到備受侮辱，覺得很委屈。

My colleagues' action was not

75623
2064
我同事的舉動
並不是我唯一面對的死亡威脅，
01:29
the only death threat I have received,
28
77687
2667
01:32
but it was the most dangerous one.

3015
加薩女性的生活

is passive.

women were not allowed

面對雙重戰爭時，
也就是社會對女性的限制
01:50
both social restrictions on women

and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
36
100970

01:55
women's dark and bright stories were fading away.
37
103954

女性的黑暗與光明故事都消逝了。
01:59
To men, women's stories were seen
38
107972
2328
對男人來說，
女性的故事經常被視為無關緊要。
02:02
as inconsequential.
39
110300
1957
02:04
I started paying closer attention
40
112257
3072
我便開始更加關注
02:07
to women's lives in Gaza.
41
115329

加薩女性的生活。
02:09
Because of my gender, I had access

02:12
to worlds where my colleagues were forbidden.
43
120065
4578

02:16
Beyond the obvious pain and struggle,
44
124643
2434
在明顯的痛楚與掙扎之下，
02:19
there was a healthy dose
45
127077
1785
是充滿笑聲和富有成就的世界。
02:20
of laughter and accomplishments.

an Israeli air raid managed to destroy the compound

以色列空軍突襲不只摧毀了駐地，
02:33
and break my nose.
50
141593
2147
還打斷我的鼻子。
02:35
For a moment, all I saw was white, bright white,
51
143740
4611
有一刻，我眼前所見是一片死白，
02:40
like these lights.
52
148351
2497
就像這裡的燈一樣。
02:42
I thought to myself I either got blind
53
150848
3363
我心想，我不是瞎了，
02:46
or I was in heaven.
54
154211
2889
就是上天堂了。
02:49
By the time I managed to open my eyes,
55
157100
3220
等我可以睜眼時，
02:52
I had documented this moment.
56
160320

only by the first field operation at his neighborhood,
61
175266

the house was flattened to the ground.
62
179563
3432
他的房子被夷為平地。
03:14
Nothing was left but the pigeons he raised
63
182995

全部都毀了，只剩他養的鴿子，
03:18
and a jacuzzi, a bathtub
64

3165
以及一個按摩浴缸，
03:21
that he got from Tel Aviv.

讓他的小孩每天早上
03:30
an every morning bubble bath.
69

4058
都可以洗泡泡浴。
03:34
My work is not meant to hide the scars of war,
70
202198
3262
我的工作並不是要隱藏戰爭的瘡疤，
03:37
but to show the full frame
71
205460
2081
而是要完整展現
加薩人不為人知的故事全貌。
03:39
of unseen stories of Gazans.
72
207541
3207
03:42
As a Palestinian female photographer,
73
210748

身為巴勒斯坦女攝影記者，
03:46
the journey of struggle, survival and everyday life
74
214122
4708
掙扎、倖存和日常生活的旅程
03:50
has inspired me to overcome the community taboo
75
218830
3321
都啟發我去克服社會禁忌，
03:54
and see a different side of war and its aftermath.
76
222151
5167
並看到戰爭的另一面及餘波。
03:59
I became a witness with a choice:
77
227318
4072
我成為了有所選擇的目擊者：
04:03
to run away or stand still.
78
231390
3780
可以逃跑或是站在原地。
04:07
Thank you.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Eman Mohammed - PhotojournalistEman Mohammed is a Palestinian photojournalist.
Why you should listen
Eman Mohammed has worked as a reporter and photojournalist in Gaza since the age of nineteen. Since she began reporting in 2006, the Saudi-born TED Fellow has shifted her focus from the Israeli/Palestinian conflict to women's issues in the Gaza Strip. As one of the few female photojournalists based in the region, Mohammed regularly faces discrimination, sexual harassment and open spite for what's seen as her audacity to join a men's field. Mohammed believes this can change for future generations of Gazan women. She says of raising her daughters, "Everything comes with a reason. They have the right to ask questions and do with whatever they wish or like, as long as it’s not hurting them or others."
