在2019年“妇女宜居国家项目”提供的数据中,摩洛哥排名倒数第一。想知道女性在这里的生活是什么样的吗?

我叫哈扎尔,25岁,女性。我住在摩洛哥的阿加迪尔。在我们集群式的社会生活中,旧父权习俗和伊斯兰的信仰占据着主要地位。女性被视为比男性低等的人。我们的自由很有限:出行、生活,为自己的未来做选择都要依靠男性来完成,这种情况在农村地区尤其严重。我们能做什么,不能做什么,如何生活,是我们的父亲、兄弟甚至是亲戚说了算的。直到最近几十年,女性和男性一起坐在咖啡馆里才逐渐在摩洛哥的几个大城市中得到社会的认同。

2015年,几个穿短裙的女孩在伊奈兹甘被一群暴民袭击了。伊奈兹甘和我住的阿加迪尔接壤,是保守主义盛行的城市。他们认为女性穿短裙是不合适的。然而,在市中心,女性是可以穿短裙的。但在有的地方,穿短裙会让你陷入危险,在这种地方生活的女性为了安全,会把自己的身体遮盖起来。

你可能会鼓励我,勇敢地做出改变,成为自己希望的样子。但是我实在是太害怕了。如果我在街上听到自己的名字,我会低着头悄悄走开。如果我想穿短裙,我会乘车出行,前往游客比较多的地点。我不敢一个人走在街上。现在我已经习惯在街上和别人打招呼了,只要他们不要离我太近就好。摩洛哥女性已经对忍受在公众场合的骚扰习以为常。我们生活在一个别人对你吹口哨很正常的环境里,尽管对于很多人来说这完全是骚扰。

有一件事一直让我耿耿于怀。一个女孩在摩洛哥首都拉巴特的沙滩上被两个男人强奸了。这种事情一般会被遮掩过去,因为人们认为这会让家庭蒙羞。但是这个女孩很勇敢地说了出来。 但是,你知道大多数人如何评价这件事吗:是因为你穿的太少了吗?好像是她的错一样,好像这就能把强奸的暴行正当化一样。男人永远没错,错的只是女性罢了,永远是这样。

大部分情况下,如果没有自己离开,被强奸的女性会被驱逐出家庭,因为她们给家庭带来了耻辱(在摩洛哥,堕胎是违法的)。她的结局是独身一人,还怀着孩子。或许成为妓女是她活下去的唯一选择。她的整个人生都被毁了,而这全部是因为他人的罪过。

对我来说,期待和男人平等是很不现实的一件事,我只想得到尊重。

Share your story

Every story we share is another perspective on a complex topic like migration, gender and sexuality or liberation. We believe that these personal stories are important to better understand what's going on in our globalised society - and to better understand each other. That's because we are convinced that the more we understand about each other, the easier it will be for us to really talk to one another, to get closer - and to maybe find solutions for the issues that affect us all.

Get involved

At Correspondents of the World, we want to contribute to a better understanding of one another in a world that seems to get smaller by the day - but somehow neglects to bring people closer together as well. We think that one of the most frequent reasons for misunderstanding and unnecessarily heated debates is that we don't really understand how each of us is affected differently by global issues.

Our aim is to change that with every personal story we share.

Community Worldwide

Correspondents of the World is not just this website, but also a great community of people from all over the world. While face-to-face meetings are difficult at the moment, our Facebook Community Group is THE place to be to meet other people invested in Correspondents of the World. We are currently running a series of online-tea talks to get to know each other better.

EXPLORE TOPIC Gender

Global Issues Through Local Eyes

We are Correspondents of the World, an online platform where people from all over the world share their personal stories in relation to global development. We try to collect stories from people of all ages and genders, people with different social and religious backgrounds and people with all kinds of political opinions in order to get a fuller picture of what is going on behind the big news.

Our Correspondents

At Correspondents of the World we invite everyone to share their own story. This means we don't have professional writers or skilled interviewers. We believe that this approach offers a whole new perspective on topics we normally only read about in the news - if at all. If you would like to share your story, you can find more info here.

Our Editors

We acknowledge that the stories we collect will necessarily be biased. But so is news. Believing in the power of the narrative, our growing team of awesome editors helps correspondents to make sure that their story is strictly about their personal experience - and let that speak for itself.

Topics

We believe in quality over quantity. To give ourselves a focus, we started out to collect personal stories that relate to our correspondents' experiences with six different global topics. However, these topics were selected to increase the likelihood that the stories of different correspondents will cover the same issues and therefore illuminate these issues from different perspectives - and not to exclude any stories. If you have a personal story relating to a global issue that's not covered by our topics, please still reach out to us! We definitely have some blind spots and are happy to revise our focus and introduce new topics at any point in time. 

Environment

Discussions about the environment often center on grim, impersonal figures. Among the numbers and warnings, it is easy to forget that all of these statistics actually also affect us - in very different ways. We believe that in order to understand the immensity of environmental topics and global climate change, we need the personal stories of our correspondents.

Gender and Sexuality

Gender is the assumption of a "normal". Unmet expectations of what is normal are a world-wide cause for violence. We hope that the stories of our correspondents will help us to better understand the effects of global developments related to gender and sexuality, and to reveal outdated concepts that have been reinforced for centuries.

Migration

Our correspondents write about migration because it is a deeply personal topic that is often dehumanized. People quickly become foreigners, refugees - a "they". But: we have always been migrating, and we always will. For millions of different reasons. By sharing personal stories about migration, we hope to re-humanize this global topic.

Liberation

We want to support the demand for justice by spotlighting the personal stories of people who seek liberation in all its different forms. Our correspondents share their individual experiences in creating equality. We hope that for some this will be an encouragement to continue their own struggle against inequality and oppression - and for some an encouragement to get involved.

Education

Education is the newest addition to our themes. We believe that education, not only formal but also informal, is one of the core aspects of just and equal society as well as social change. Our correspondents share their experiences and confrontations about educational inequalities, accessibility issues and influence of societal norms and structures. 

Corona Virus

2020 is a year different from others before - not least because of the Corona pandemic. The worldwide spread of a highly contagious virus is something that affects all of us in very different ways. To get a better picture of how the pandemic's plethora of explicit and implicit consequences influences our everyday life, we share lockdown stories from correspondents all over the world.

Growing Fast

Although we started just over a year ago, Correspondents of the World has a quickly growing community of correspondents - and a dedicated team of editors, translators and country managers.
