1Egypt: Dalia Ziada urges Saudi Arabia to end discrimination against Muslim womenEjipta : mandrisika an'i Arabie Saoudite hampitsahatra ny fanavakavahana atao amin'ny vehivavy i Dalia Ziada
2On the occasion of Prophet Mohamed's birthday, Egyptian blogger Dalia Ziada launches a campaign asking Saudi Arabia to end their discrimination against young Muslim women worldwide!Amin'izao andro fahatsiarovana ny andro nahaterahan'ny Mpaminany Mohamed izao dia manentana ny olona rehetra i Dalia Ziada hanery an'i Arabie Saoudite hampitsahatra ny fanavakavahana atao amin'ny vehivavy Silamo manerana ny tany!
3Dalia started her post by talking about this official holiday in Egypt:Nanomboka tamin'ny firesahana ity andro fankalazana ity tany Ejipta i Dalia:
4Today, Egypt - and only Egypt - celebrates the blessed birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).Androany, Ejipta-ary Ejipta irery- no nankalaza ny andro masina nahaterahan'ny mpaminany Muhammad.
5We, Egyptians, call it: Mawlid Elnaby.Izahay Ejiptiana no miantso azy ity hoe “Mawlid Elnaby”.
6On this day, Egyptian Muslims buy special desserts (halawet elmwalid), exchange cordial visits with relatives and acquaintances, and above all hold commemoration sessions to remember Prophet Muhammad.Amin'ity andro ity dia mividy tsindrin-tsakafo miavaka izahay (halawet elmwalid), mifamangy ny samy mpihavanasy ny olom-pantatra, ary ambonin'izany rehetra izany ny fankalazana fahatsiarovana ny mpaminany Muhammad.
7Here is what triggered her campaign:Izao no antiny nahatonga ny fanentanany:
8After performing the noon prayers, the idea of making a religious trip to Mecca and Prophet's tomb in Saudi Arabia popped up to my mind.Taorian'ny vavaka mitataovovonana dia tonga tao an-tsaiko ny hevitra handeha hanao fivahinianana masina any La Mecque hamangy ny fasan'ny mpaminany.
9Her search results were shocking:Nahatezitra azy ny vokatr'izay:
10I am not allowed to do “O'mra!” [a lesser pilgrimage to Mecca] Why?Tsy nahazo nanatanteraka “O'mra!” aho [ny fanao farany kely indrindra any La Mecque] Nahoana?
11Because I am a young woman under the age of 45!Satria aho tanora zazavavy latsaky ny 45 taona!
12The only solution for me to get to my beloved Prophet's land is to be accompanied by a male chaperon.Ny vahaolana tokana azoko atao hahazoako miditra ny tanin'ny mpaminany mamiko dia ny hoe tsy maintsy miaraka amina mpiaro lehilahy aho.
13My mother is not enough!!Mbola tsy ampy taona ko any reniko!!!
14Do you know what a male chaperon is?Fantatrao moa hoe iza izany mpiaro lehilahy izany?
15A first-degree male relative: father, brother, husband, or son!Ny havana lehilahy akaiky anao indrindra: ray, anadahy, vady, na zanaka lahy!
16I am in a big trouble, then.Misalasala be aho noho izany.
17My father is dead, my two brothers are not interested and I cannot afford paying for their tickets, I do not have a husband and of course I do not have a son!!Efa maty ny raiko, tsy dia taitra amin'izany loatra ny anadahiko anankiroa ary tsy afaka miantoka ny saran-dalany manaraka ahy aho, mbola tsy manam-bady aho ary mazava ho azy fa tsy manana zanaka lahy!!
18What can I do, now?!Dia inona izany no hataoko?!
19What infuriated the young activist more was:Fa ny tena nahatezitra ity tanora ity:
20I have traveled to places much far than Saudi Arabia.Nandeha lavitra be aho vao tonga aty Arabie Saoudite.
21I was completely alone!Tena irery aho!
22I did not do something wrong, and nothing wrong was done to me in any of my previous trips overseas!!Tsy nanao zavatra tsy nety aho ary tsy mbola niharan'ny zavatra tsy nety nandritra ny fivahinianana nataoko tany am-pitan-dranomasina!!
23Upon investigating this law further, she learnt that:Ambonin'ny fahafantarany ny lalàna fanampiny, dia henony koa fa:
24such an unjustified restriction is the pure invention of Saudi Arabia and has nothing to do with Islam!Ny fanerena tahaka izao dia noforonin'i Arabie Saoudite ho azy manokana fa tsy misy ifandraisany amin'ny finoana Silamo!
25Thus, Saudi government is blocking one-third of Muslims (i.e. Muslim women) around the world from practicing a duty of their religion imposed on them by Allah!Noho izany, misakana ny 1/3 ny vahoaka Silamo (vehivavy) manerana ny tany ny governemanta any Arabie Saoudite amin'ny fivavahana nandidian'i Allah hotanterahany!
26Who says that Saudi government's word is superior to the word of Allah?!Iza no milaza fa ny tenin'ny governemanta any an-toerana no ambony noho ny tenin'i Allah?!
27Who told them that Mecca and Prophet Muhammad is their own and they have the right to prevent whomever they want from visiting them?!Iza no nilaza tamin-dry zareo fa fananany manokana i la Mecque sy ny mpaminany Muhammed ka afaka mamorona lalàna ho azy izy hampitandremana izay rehetra te hamangy any an-toerana?!
28Dalia then links her personal sense of injustice to her female counterparts living in KSA:mampifandray ny heviny mikasika ny fanavakavahana amin'ny an'ny namany any Arabie Saoudite i Dalia:
29Actually, no wonder!Ankehitriny, tsy misy resaka!
30Saudi Arabia is the biggest abuser of women rights in the whole region.Arabie Saoudite no mpanao tsinontsinona indrindra ny zon'ny vehivavy aty amin'ny faritra misy antsika.
31They deprive women from showing their faces, driving a car, or even working or socially mixing with men!Tsy avelany hampiseho tarehy ny vehivavy, tsy mahazo mitondra fiara, tsy avelany miasa aza ary tsy mahazo mifangaro amin'ny lehilahy!
32Saudis commit these awful violations against women rights in the name of Islam.Mampiasa ny anaran'ny Silamo i Arabie Saoudite amin'izany fanitsakitsahana mahatsiravina ny zon'ny vehivavy izany.
33They distort the image of our tolerant religion.Ovany ny sarin'ny fivavahantsika feno fandeferana.
34But, I am not Saudi Arabian; why should I comply with their naïve rules, then?Kanefa, tsy avy any Arabie Saoudite aho; nahoana no tsy maintsy manaraka izany lalàna izany?
35This is not fair!Tena tsy rariny!
36Back to the issue of the Prophet's birthday:Andeha hiverenantsika ny nahaterahan'ny mpaminany:
37Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia does not celebrate Prophet's birthday. That is despite the facts that: 1) the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in Saudi Arabia; 2) his mission to call for the religion of Islam started in Saudi Arabia; 3) he lived his whole life in Saudi Arabia; and 4) Saudi government holds all property rights for Prophet's belongings and monuments.Na eo aza izany rehetra izany dia tsy mankalaza ny andro nahaterahan'ny mpaminany i Arabie Saoudite. tsy mankalaza izay na dia 1) teraka tany an-toerana ny mpaminany Muhammed; 2) Tany an-toerana no nanombohany ny fivavahana Silamo; 3) tany arabie Saoudite no nandaniany ny androny rehetra; 4) noraisin'ny governemanta ho azy ny fananan'ny mpaminany rehetra.
38So, how come Saudi Arabia does not celebrate Prophet's birthday?!!Noho izany, nahoana no tsy mankalaza ny andro nahaterahan'ny mpaminany izy?
39They even consider the Prophet's birthday celebrations, we - Muslim Egyptians - do, a heresy (beda'a)!!!Tsy mahatsiaro akory ity andro ity izy ireo, izahay-Silamo Ejiptiana- ve no manao zavatra mifanohitra amin'ny fivavahana?!!!
40Dalia is now calling upon:Miantso àry i Dalia ny:
41world feminists, moderate Muslims, and those who believe in women rights in the Muslim world to join me in my upcoming fight against the Saudi government for getting my right (as a woman) to practice my religion with complete freedom, liberated from the unreasonable restrictions imposed by extremists and patriarchal governments like that of Saudi Arabia.Ny vehivavy eran-tany, Silamo mivoatra, ary ireo rehetra manaiky ny zon'ny vehivavy ao amin'ny tontolon'ny fivavahana Silamo mba hanaraka ahyhiady amin'ny governemanta any Arabie Saoudite hahazoako ny zoko (amin'ny maha vehivavy ahy) hahafahako mivavaka ao anatin'ny fiadanana tanteraka, ho afaka amin'ny fangejana ataon'ireo tsy te hahalala sy tery saina tahaka an'i Arabie Saoudite .
42Saudi Arabia does not have “monopoly rights” over Islam!Tsy manana “lalàna azy manokana” amin'ny fivavahana Silamo i Arabie Saoudite!
43Muslimah Media Watch tackled the issue of how women in KSA are treated like legal minors.Manenjika ny fomba fitondrana ny vehivavy any Arabie Saoudite ho tahaka ny zaza tsy ampy taona ny Muslimah Media Watch .
44Zoheir al-Harithi, spokesman for Saudi's Human Rights Commission, says that the report didn't focus on productive efforts to improve the situation as well as confused tradition with state policy.Ny mpitondra tenin'ni Arabie Saoudite ao amin'ny Kaomision'ny Zon'Olombelona, Zoheir al-Harithi, no nilaza fa tsy mahakasika ny ezaka hatao hanatsarana ny toe-draharaha izany na dia mifangaro amin'ny pôlitikan'ny fanjakana aza.
45“We agree with some points and we are working on that as a commission for the government, but we don't agree with the generalisation.”Miobon-kevitra amin'ny hevitra sasantsasany izahay ary mandinika izany ny governemanta, kanefa kosa tsy miombon-kevitra amin'izy rehetra.”
46You can download the full report, Perpetual Minors: Human Rights Abuses Stemming from Male Guardianship and Sex Segregation in Saudi Arabia, here.Afaka alaina ny resaka rehetra, mahakasika ny tsy fanajana ny zon'olombelon'olombelona avy amin'ny mpiantoka lehilahy sy ny fanavakavahana any Arabie Saoudite.
