Alaa Murabiti pere kolis Kanadast Liibüasse, kui Alaa oli 15-aastane. Enne seda tundis Alaa end vendadega võrdsena, kuid uues keskkonnas koges ta suuri piiranguid. Uhke moslemi naisena imestas ta, kas islamis on tõesti olemas vastav doktriin? Huumori, kire ja värskendava mässumeelsusega jagab ta oma avastusi islami ajaloost, toob näiteid naisjuhtidest ja räägib, kuidas ta algatas kampaania naiste õiguste eest võitlemiseks, kasutades Koraani värsse.

But the most important lesson

Kuid mu kõige olulisem

03:53
was the importance of being at the table.
59

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

Kanadast, Saskatoonist,
04:24
to Zawiya, my parents' hometown in Libya,
67
252240
4079
Zawijasse, vanemate kodulinna Liibüas,
04:28
a very traditional city.
68
256319

mis on väga traditsiooniline linn.
04:30
Mind you, I had only ever been
to Libya before on vacation,

Enne olin Liibüas olnud

7-aastase tüdrukuna.
Liibüa oli imeline.

5002
Selgus, et see pole sama, mis
olla 15-aastane noor daam kodus.
olla 15-aastane noor daam kodus.
04:50
I very quickly became introduced
to the cultural aspect of religion.

73
278470
5968
Sain kiiresti tuttavaks religiooni
kultuuriliste aspektidega.

05:04
were exchanged carelessly,
76
292402

kasutati üsna hoolimatult läbisegi,
05:07
as if they meant the same thing
and had the same consequences.

77
295118
4319
justkui tähendaksid nad sama asja
ja neil oleksid samad tagajärjed.
ja neil oleksid samad tagajärjed.
05:11
And I found myself in conversation
after conversation with classmates
after conversation with classmates
78
299437
4737
Pidasin ühe vestluse teise järel
klassikaaslastega,
klassikaaslastega,
05:16
and colleagues, professors,
friends, even relatives,

79
304174

kolleegidega, professoritega,
sõpradega, sugulastega,
sõpradega, sugulastega,
05:19
beginning to question my own rule
and my own aspirations.
and my own aspirations.
80
307610
4783
ja hakkasin järele mõtlema
omaenda põhimõtete ja eesmärkide üle.
omaenda põhimõtete ja eesmärkide üle.
05:24
And even with the foundation
my parents had provided for me,
my parents had provided for me,
81
312393
3530
Isegi sellise kindla aluspõhjaga,
mille vanematelt olin saanud,

05:27
I found myself questioning
the role of women in my faith.
the role of women in my faith.
82
315923
4295
leidsin end mõtisklemast
naise rolli üle minu usus.
naise rolli üle minu usus.
05:32
So at the Murabit School
of International Affairs,
of International Affairs,
83
320218
4179
Murabiti rahvusvaheliste
suhete koolis
suhete koolis
05:36
we go very heavy on the debate,
84
324397
2740
võtsime me väitlemist väga tõsiselt,
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
ja kuna reegel number üks on, et asjad tuleb endale korralikult selgeks teha - mida ma ka tegin,
05:44
and it surprised me how easy it was
86
332640
3785
ja mind üllatas, kui lihtne oli
05:48
to find women in my faith
who were leaders,
who were leaders,
87
336425
4017
leida minuga sama usku jagavaid naisi, kes olid juhid,
05:52
who were innovative, who were strong --

in its infancy.
91
350751

selle algstaadiumis.
06:04
We wouldn't be here if it weren't for her.
92
352562
2445
Me poleks siin, kui ta poleks seda teinud.
06:07
So why weren't we learning about her?
93
355627
2647
Aga miks me siis tema kohta midagi ei kuule?
06:10
Why weren't we learning about these women?
94
358274
2921
Miks meile nendest naistest ei räägita?
06:13
Why were women being relegated
to positions which predated
to positions which predated
95
361195
2791
Miks on naised asetatud madalamale
positsioonile,
positsioonile,
06:15
the teachings of our faith?
96
363986
2670
kui meie usk tegelikult õpetab?
06:18
And why, if we are equal
in the eyes of God,
in the eyes of God,
97
366656
2275
Kui Jumal peab meid meestega võrdseteks,
06:20
are we not equal in the eyes of men?
98
368931
3102
miks siis inimesed meid võrdseks ei pea?
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
Mind viis see mõte tagasi
lapsepõlve õppetundide juurde.

It only took a few weeks before the women

but not a lot.

Ainus viis, kuidas seda saame teha,
12:00
our only option,

meie ainus võimalus,
12:02
is to be, and remain, at the table.

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.
