WEBVTT

00:00:00.785 --> 00:00:03.840
Njiani kufika hapa,

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.542
nilikuwa na mazungumzo mazuri na 
mtu aliyekuwa anakaa pembeni yangu kwenye

00:00:07.542 --> 00:00:10.562
ndege. Alinambia 


00:00:10.562 --> 00:00:13.805
"Hamna kazi tena USA,

00:00:13.805 --> 00:00:16.073
yaani sasa wamebuni kazi mpya:

00:00:16.083 --> 00:00:21.373
mwanasaikolojia wa paka,
mzungumzaji wa mbwa,msasi wa kimbunga."

00:00:21.373 --> 00:00:24.453
Punde, aliniuliza,

00:00:24.453 --> 00:00:27.132
"Kwani wewe unafanya kazi gani?"

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:27.132 --> 00:00:29.722
Nikamjibu, "Mjenzi wa usalama?"

00:00:29.722 --> 00:00:33.025
(Vicheko)

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:34.355 --> 00:00:38.985
Kila siku, nafanya bidii 
kuwazidishia wanawake sauti

00:00:39.445 --> 00:00:42.925
na kuoneysha maisha yao na michango yao

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:42.925 --> 00:00:45.722
katika hatua za kutafuta usalama 
na kutatua migogoro,

00:00:47.652 --> 00:00:52.989
na kwa sababu ya kazi zangu, 
natambua kwamba njia ya pekee

00:00:53.259 --> 00:00:55.338
kwa kuhakikisha ushirikiano kamili 


00:00:55.338 --> 00:00:58.928
wa wanawake duniani
ni kuchukua tena dini mikononi mwetu.

00:00:59.398 --> 00:01:03.104
Sasa, jambo hilo ni muhimu sana kwangu.

00:01:03.164 --> 00:01:06.914
Kama muislamu na mwanamke kijana, 
ninaijali dini yangu sana.

00:01:07.974 --> 00:01:12.095
Inanipa nguvu na msimamo katika 
kazi zangu kila siku.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:12.095 --> 00:01:15.435
Ndiyo sababu inayoniwezesha 
kusimama hapa leo mbele yenu.

00:01:15.965 --> 00:01:20.199
Lakini siwezi kutojali hasara kubwa 
zilizofanyika kwa kutumia jina la dini,

00:01:21.393 --> 00:01:24.843
si dini yangu tu, lakini 
dini zote kubwa za dunia.

00:01:25.243 --> 00:01:30.401
Kuyatumia vibaya na
kuyageuza maandiko ya kidini

00:01:30.744 --> 00:01:34.034
kumebadilisha desturi zetu 
za kijamii na kitamaduni,

00:01:34.074 --> 00:01:36.570
sheria zetu, kila siku zetu,


00:01:36.570 --> 00:01:39.910
hadi kumefikia tusipoweza 
kupagundua.

00:01:39.910 --> 00:01:45.280
Wazazi wangu walihama Libya, 
Afrika ya Kaskazini kwenda Kanada

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.340
mwanzoni mwa miaka 1980,

00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:50.994
na mimi niko katikati ya watoto 11.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:51.251 --> 00:01:53.211
Ehee, 11.

00:01:53.721 --> 00:01:55.115
Lakini katika kukulia kwangu,


00:01:55.115 --> 00:01:59.635
niliwaona wazazi wangu, wote wacha Mungu 
na waumini wa Akhera, wakisali na

00:01:59.645 --> 00:02:01.925
kumshukuru kwa baraka zao,


00:02:01.975 --> 00:02:05.915
kama mimi, lakini zinginezo pia. 
(Vicheko)

00:02:07.015 --> 00:02:10.105
Walikuwa na huruma, wenye kuchekesha, 
na wenye subira,

00:02:10.105 --> 00:02:15.285
subira kubwa, aina inayofunzwa
kwa kuwalea watoto 11.

00:02:16.021 --> 00:02:17.651
Pia walifanya haki. 


00:02:18.421 --> 00:02:21.971
Sikuwahi kupaswa kuijua dini kwa 
mtazamo wa kitamaduni tu.

00:02:22.741 --> 00:02:25.071
Nilitendewa sawasawa na kaka zangu,
na sisi sote

00:02:25.071 --> 00:02:27.441
tulikuwa tunatarijiwa 
kufanya sawasawa.

00:02:27.461 --> 00:02:31.987
Sikuwahi kuambiwa kwamba Mungu 
huhukumu tofauti kwa jinsia.

00:02:32.917 --> 00:02:39.759
Wazazi wangu walimwona Mungu kuwa 
Mwingi wa Rehema, Fadhila na rizki

00:02:39.779 --> 00:02:42.469
na mimi nilichukulia 
msimamo wao.

00:02:43.090 --> 00:02:46.380
Kwa uhakika, malezi yangu yalikuwa 
na faida zake.

00:02:46.870 --> 00:02:51.120
kuwa katikati ya watoto 11 
ni kama Diplomasia 101. (Vicheko)

00:02:52.312 --> 00:02:55.272
Mpaka leo, watu huniuliza wapi
nilipokwenda skule,

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:55.272 --> 00:02:57.648
kama, “Ulienda Skule ya 
Kennedy ya Serikali?"

00:02:57.648 --> 00:02:59.398
na mimi huwatazama na 
kuwambia, “Hapana,

00:02:59.417 --> 00:03:02.527
Nimeenda Skule ya Murabit ya 
Mambo ya Kimataifa.”

00:03:02.577 --> 00:03:07.691
Ni maalum sana. Ungeongea na 
Mamangu kwa kujipatia nafasi

00:03:08.081 --> 00:03:10.631
Lakini kwa bahati yenu, yupo leo.

00:03:11.971 --> 00:03:16.141
Lakini kuwa miongoni wa watoto 11, 
na kuwa na ndugu 10,

00:03:16.248 --> 00:03:19.678
kunafundisha mengi kama 
mifumo ya mamlaka na muungano.

00:03:20.148 --> 00:03:22.557
Kama kuzingatia lengo; 
useme haraka au

00:03:22.557 --> 00:03:25.877
usiseme sana, kwa sababu 
utadakiwa mazungumzo kila mara.

00:03:25.877 --> 00:03:28.317
Kunafundisha umuhimu wa kuwa 
mjumbe mzuri.

00:03:28.827 --> 00:03:32.767
Uyaulize maswali kwa mpango kwa
kupata jibu unalolitaka, na

00:03:32.887 --> 00:03:36.047
ujue kusema 'la' kwa mpango pia
kwa kufuliza usalama.

00:03:37.213 --> 00:03:40.694
Lakini funzo muhimu sana
nililolipata kutoka utoto wangu

00:03:40.694 --> 00:03:44.494
lilikuwa umuhimu wa kuwa na nafasi kwenye
meza.

00:03:44.744 --> 00:03:48.135
Taa yake ndogo mamangu ilipovunjika,
alivyoipenda sana, ilinilazimu niwepo

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:48.135 --> 00:03:52.655
wakati alipochunguza ilikuwaje, 
ili nijitetee,

00:03:53.965 --> 00:03:57.175
kwa sababu kama hupo, 
lawama inakuangukia kwako,

00:03:57.175 --> 00:03:59.761
na kabla hujagundua, utakuwa umeadhibiwa.

00:03:59.791 --> 00:04:02.731
Kwa uhahika, sijapewa 
adhabu mimi mwenyewe.

00:04:04.278 --> 00:04:09.040
Nilipokuwa na miaka 15 mwakani 2005,
nikatimiza skule ya sekondari nikahamia

00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:11.490
Kanada-- Saskatoon --

00:04:11.550 --> 00:04:15.900
Ila Zawiya, Libya, 
mji wa nyumbani wa wazazi wangu,

NOTE Paragraph

00:04:16.010 --> 00:04:18.099
mji wa kidesturi sana. 


00:04:18.099 --> 00:04:23.049
Fikiri, muda huo niliwahi kufika
Libya kwa ajili ya matembezi tu,

00:04:23.309 --> 00:04:27.719
na kama msichana wa miaka 7,
ilipendeza sana.

00:04:27.779 --> 00:04:32.331
Ilikuwa aiskrimu na pwani na jamaa
wenye furaha.

00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:37.790
niligundua haiko vilevile kama 
msichana wa miaka 15.

00:04:38.248 --> 00:04:44.238
Nikakutana upesi na mambo ya dini ya
kiutamaduni.

00:04:44.676 --> 00:04:48.946
Maneno ya "haramu" --
lenye maana ya kukatazwa kidini --

NOTE Paragraph

00:04:48.972 --> 00:04:52.432
na "aibu" -- lenye maana ya kutofaa
kimaadili --

00:04:52.468 --> 00:04:54.518
yalibadilishanwa bila mpango.

00:04:55.228 --> 00:04:58.838
kama yalikuwa na maana moja na
adhabu moja vilevile.

00:04:59.618 --> 00:05:04.238
Nikajikuta sana katika mazungumzo na
wenzangu wa skule

00:05:04.238 --> 00:05:07.584
na wa kazi, profesa, rafiki zangu na hata 
jamaa zangu,

00:05:07.594 --> 00:05:11.644
nikaanza kujiuliza kuhusu desturi zangu 
na malengo yangu.

00:05:12.304 --> 00:05:16.164
Na hata na msingi mzuri niliopokea
kutoka wazazi wangu,

00:05:16.200 --> 00:05:19.850
Nilijikuta nikajiuliza kuhusu nafasi 
ya mwanamke katika dini yangu.

00:05:21.710 --> 00:05:24.413
Kule kwenye Skule ya Murabit ya Mambo
ya Kimataifa,

00:05:24.437 --> 00:05:27.307
tunapenda sana kufanya mjadala,

00:05:27.307 --> 00:05:32.637
na sheria ya kwanza ni fanya utafiti wako,
na hivyo ndivyo nilivyofanya mimi,

NOTE Paragraph

00:05:32.647 --> 00:05:36.247
Ikanishangaza sana vipi ilikuwa rahisi

00:05:36.247 --> 00:05:40.275
kuwagundua wanawake katika Uislamu
waliokuwa viongozi,

00:05:40.275 --> 00:05:43.765
wavumbuzi, wenye nguvu --

00:05:43.765 --> 00:05:46.774
za kisiasa, za kiuchumi hata za kijeshi.

00:05:47.014 --> 00:05:50.777
Khadija aliziendesha fedha za 
harakati za Kiislamu

00:05:50.787 --> 00:05:52.657
katika siku zake za mwanzo.

00:05:52.657 --> 00:05:54.997
Tusingekuwepo hapa leo bila michango yake.

00:05:55.924 --> 00:05:58.124
Kwa nini tusifundishwe kisa chake?


00:05:58.144 --> 00:06:01.234
Kwa nini tusifundishwe 
visa vya hao wanawake?

00:06:01.254 --> 00:06:03.624
Kwa nini wanawake wapewe vyeo
vilivyotoka

00:06:03.626 --> 00:06:06.636
zama zilizotangulia mafunzo ya dini yetu?

00:06:06.636 --> 00:06:09.286
Na kwa nini, kama sisi sote tuko sawasawa 
machoni mwa Mungu,

00:06:09.296 --> 00:06:11.966
hatuko sawasawa machoni mwa binadamu?

00:06:12.693 --> 00:06:17.043
Hayo yalinipeleka kufikiria mafunzo 
yangu ya utotoni.

00:06:18.232 --> 00:06:22.052
Anayeamua, na kuwa na mamlaka 
juu ya ujumbe,

00:06:22.082 --> 00:06:24.702
anayo nafasi kwenye meza,

NOTE Paragraph

00:06:24.722 --> 00:06:29.484
na kwa bahati mbaya, katika dini zote
za kidunia,

00:06:29.494 --> 00:06:31.092
hao si wanawake.

00:06:32.462 --> 00:06:35.212
Taasisi za kidini 
zinatawaliwa na wanaume

00:06:35.242 --> 00:06:37.222
na kuendeshwa na viongozi vya kiume,

00:06:37.242 --> 00:06:40.542
na wanabuni sera zinazowafaa wanaume tu,

00:06:40.623 --> 00:06:45.339
na ila tunaweza kubadilisha mfumo huo
kabisa, kwa kweli hatuwezi

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:47.759
kutarajia wanawake kushiriki
kwa ukamilifu

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.089
katika uchumi au siasa.

00:06:51.576 --> 00:06:53.876
Msingi wetu umevunjika.

00:06:55.636 --> 00:06:59.816
Mamangu husema, "huwezi kujenga nyumba
nzima juu ya msingi mbovu".

00:07:02.976 --> 00:07:08.988
Mwakani 2011, Mapinduzi ya Libya yaliripuka
na aila yangu walikuwepo mistari ya mbele.

00:07:09.554 --> 00:07:12.854
Kuna jambo moja la kushangaza
linalojitokeza katika vita,

00:07:12.903 --> 00:07:15.473
kama mageuzo ya kiutamaduni,
kwa muda mfupi tu.

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:16.133 --> 00:07:18.743
Kwa mara ya kwanza nilijisikia 
ilikubaliwa, au hata

00:07:18.743 --> 00:07:21.651
ilisisitizwa kwa mimi kujihusisha 
na mambo.

00:07:21.651 --> 00:07:23.591
Ilihitajika.

00:07:24.510 --> 00:07:27.340
Mimi na wanawake wengine walipewa nafasi
kwenye meza.

00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:30.570
Hatukuwa wasaidizi wa wanaume tu.

00:07:30.580 --> 00:07:32.427
Tulichangia katika uamuzi.

00:07:32.427 --> 00:07:35.547
Tulichangia katika kutoa taarifa.
Tulikuwa muhimu sana.

00:07:35.880 --> 00:07:39.640
Na mimi nilitaka, nilihitaji mageuzo hayo
kutoondoka.

00:07:42.550 --> 00:07:45.368
Lakini niligundua si rahisi 
kuwa nilivyotaka.

00:07:45.368 --> 00:07:49.170
Ilichukua wiki chache tu kabla hao 
wanawake niliowafanya nao kazi

00:07:49.170 --> 00:07:51.720
walikuwa wanarejea katika kazi zao za
zamani,

NOTE Paragraph

00:07:52.130 --> 00:07:56.437
na wengi walipewa maneno ya
kusisitizwa

00:07:56.437 --> 00:07:58.891
kutoka kwa viongozi wa kidini na 
vya kisiasa, wengi wao

00:07:58.891 --> 00:08:02.151
walijaribu kuthibitisha hoja 
zao kwa maandishi ya kidini.

00:08:02.151 --> 00:08:05.631
Ndivyo walivyojipatia mikono ya
watu katika hoja zao.

00:08:06.951 --> 00:08:12.141
Mwanzoni, nilizingatia kuwapa 
wanawake nguvu katika siasa na uchumi.

00:08:12.141 --> 00:08:15.437
Nikafikiri ingeliongoza 
mabadiliko ya kiutamaduni na kijamii.

00:08:15.765 --> 00:08:19.565
Niligundua, ilifanikiwa kidogo tu, lakini
sio sana.

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:20.325 --> 00:08:24.205
Nikaamua kuitumia njia yao wale
viongozi wa kidini

00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.260
nikaanza kuthibitisha hoja zangu kwa 
maandishi ya kiislamu pia.

00:08:29.320 --> 00:08:33.221
Katika miaka 2012 na 2013, shirika langu 
liliongoza kampeni ya pekee iliyokuwa

00:08:33.221 --> 00:08:36.231
kubwa na pana kuliko zote Libya.

00:08:36.881 --> 00:08:40.371
Tulipenyeza nyumbani, skuleni na 
vyuoni, hata misikitni.

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:41.101 --> 00:08:44.301
Tulizungumza na watu 50,000
uso kwa uso, na mamia ya maelfu zaidi

00:08:44.731 --> 00:08:46.613
kwa njia za 
matangazo ya kubandika,

00:08:46.613 --> 00:08:49.163
matangazo kwenye tv na kwenye radio.

00:08:50.803 --> 00:08:53.173
Labda mnajiuliza, shirika la
haki za wanawake

00:08:53.210 --> 00:08:56.646
waliweza kufanya hivyo vipi katika jamii
ilyopingana na sisi

00:08:56.646 --> 00:08:58.196
kabisa mwanzoni.

NOTE Paragraph

00:08:59.436 --> 00:09:01.556
Niliyatumia maandishi ya kiislamu.

00:09:02.070 --> 00:09:05.870
Nilitumia aya za Korani na misemo ya 
Mtume Mohammed,

00:09:06.810 --> 00:09:11.340
Hadithi zake, misemo yake ambayo ni,
kwa mfano,

00:09:11.780 --> 00:09:14.865
"Mtu bora ndiye anayefanya
wema kwa familia yake."

00:09:14.875 --> 00:09:18.008
"Usimruhusu mtu kumdhulumu mwingine."

00:09:19.148 --> 00:09:24.068
Kwa mara ya kwanza, hotuba za Ijumaa 
kutoka kwa imamu wa kienyeji

00:09:24.128 --> 00:09:26.338
zilitangaza haki za wanawake.

00:09:26.338 --> 00:09:29.506
zilizungumzia masuala yasiyo kawaida, kama
vurugu ya nyumbani.

00:09:31.016 --> 00:09:33.336
Sera zilibadilishwa.

00:09:34.305 --> 00:09:39.295
Katika jamii fulani, ilitubidi 
kusema lile Azimio

00:09:39.295 --> 00:09:42.445
la Kimataifa la Haki ya Wanadamu
mlilopingana nayo

00:09:42.445 --> 00:09:45.082
kwa sababu haikuandikwi na watalaamu
wa kidini,

00:09:45.082 --> 00:09:49.212
eti, misingi yote ile imo kitabu chetu.

00:09:49.975 --> 00:09:53.005
Yaani, Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa 
lilituiga tu.

00:09:56.365 --> 00:09:58.936
Kwa kuubadilisha ujumbe wenyewe, 
tuliweza kuitoa

00:09:59.026 --> 00:10:02.566
sura mpya iliyotangaza haki za wanawake 
Libya.

00:10:03.414 --> 00:10:06.454
Ni jambo ambalo sasa limeigwa duniani,

NOTE Paragraph

00:10:08.554 --> 00:10:12.439
na sisemi ni rahisi--- niamini, 
si rahisi kabisa.

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.560
'Liberals' watasema unaitumia dini 
na kukuita 'conservative' mbaya.

00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:19.500
na 'conservatives' watakupa
matusi mengi.

00:10:19.994 --> 00:10:23.990
Mimi mwenyewe nimeyapata mengi, kama 
"Wazazi wako hawaaibiki na wewe?" --

00:10:23.990 --> 00:10:26.151
sio kweli;
wao wananipenda kuliko wote --

00:10:26.151 --> 00:10:28.801
au "Hutoishi kuona siku 
yako ya kuzaliwa tena" --

00:10:28.801 --> 00:10:31.031
tena sio kweli, nimeshaiona.

00:10:32.931 --> 00:10:36.570
Na bado, ninaamini kabisa

00:10:36.570 --> 00:10:40.380
kwamba haki za wanawake
na dini zinaweza kuendana.

00:10:42.461 --> 00:10:45.561
Lakini lazima tupewe nafasi kwenye meza.

00:10:45.916 --> 00:10:48.606
Tusiache kupigania 
nafasi yetu, kwa sababu

00:10:48.606 --> 00:10:55.316
kwa kukaa kimya, tunaruhusu mateso na 
dhuluma za wanawake duniani kuendelea.

00:10:56.467 --> 00:10:59.007
Kwa kudai tutapigania haki za wanawake

00:10:59.017 --> 00:11:02.167
na kupigania ugaidi kwa kutumia
mabomu na vita,

00:11:02.907 --> 00:11:06.947
tunaharibu jamii za kienyeji zinazohitaji
kuyashughulikia masuala hayo

00:11:07.556 --> 00:11:10.866
ili yawezekane kuendelea.

00:11:11.806 --> 00:11:15.820
Sio rahisi, kushindana na taarifa za dini 
za kupotosha.

00:11:17.030 --> 00:11:21.630
Utapata vyako vya matusi na dhihaka na 
vitisho.

00:11:21.730 --> 00:11:24.126
Lakini ni lazima ifanyike.

NOTE Paragraph

00:11:24.136 --> 00:11:29.434
Hatuna budi ila kuuchukua tena 
ujumbe wa haki za binadamu,

00:11:29.434 --> 00:11:32.904
maadili ya dini yetu, si kwa ajili yetu,

00:11:32.904 --> 00:11:34.591
na si kwa ajili ya 
wanawake wenu tu,

00:11:34.591 --> 00:11:36.061
si kwa ajili ya 
wanawake humu leo,

00:11:36.121 --> 00:11:38.741
hata si kwa ajili ya 
wanawake kule nje,

00:11:40.101 --> 00:11:43.434
bali kwa ajili ya jamii ambazo
zingebadilika kuwa nzuri

00:11:43.434 --> 00:11:45.849
kwa mashirikiano ya wanawake.

00:11:46.489 --> 00:11:48.649
Na jinsi ya pekee sisi tunavyoweza 
kufanya hivyo,

00:11:48.649 --> 00:11:50.389
njia yetu moja tu,

00:11:50.469 --> 00:11:53.499
ni kupata nafasi na kukaa daima, 
kwenye meza.

00:11:53.649 --> 00:11:54.799
Asante.

00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.259
