1 | Morocco: Women Celebrate International Day | Maraoka: Mankalaza ny andron'ny vehivavy |
2 | This post is part of our special coverage Morocco Protests 2011. | |
3 | Moroccan women, like their counterparts across the world, have been celebrating the 100th anniversary of the International Women's Day today. | Ny vehivavy maraokana, tahaka ireo vehivavy rehetra maneran-tany dia mankalaza koa ny faha-100 taonan'ny andron'ny vehivavy. |
4 | They have long been at the forefront of the civil society's struggle for a better and more dignified life. | Teo anivon'ny fiarahamonim-pirenena dia efa hatramin'ny ela izy ireo no niady hanana fiainana mendrika sy tsaratsara kokoa. |
5 | And as the freedom “fever”, inspired by the “Arab Revolutions” continues to sweep across the Middle East and North Africa, Moroccan feminists are also taking to the streets, making sure gender equality and emancipation of women are part of the agenda for change. | Ary satria mbola mitohy hatrany ny “tazon”ny fahafahana andrandraina avy amin'ny “Fanoheran'ny Arabo” manerana ny ilany andrefana sy avaratry Afrika, dia anisan'ny nidina an-dalambe koa ny vehivavy maraokana, mampitovy zo eo amin'ny lahy sy ny vavy, ary ny manala ny fanjakazakana amin'ny vehivavy koa dia tafiditra ao amin'ny fandaharam-potoan'ny fanovana . |
6 | In 2004, responding to the repeated appeals and long struggle of the civil society, the Moroccan government passed laws meant to build awareness around women's rights and empower them politically and economically. | Tamin'ny 2004, namaly ny antso tsy misy farany nataon'ny fiarahamonim-pirenena ny fanjakana maraokana tamin'ny alalan'ny famoahana lalàna natao hanomezan-danja kokoa ny fanentanana manodidina ny zon'ny vehivavy sy ny hanomezana azy ireo fahefana ara-politika sy ara-ekonomika. |
7 | Seven years after the implementation of the Moudawana, or Family Code, many see little improvement in women's social status. | Fito taona taorian'ny nanaovana ny Moudawana, na ny Lalànan'ny Fianakaviana, dia maro no mahatsapa fa tsy misy fanatsarana loatra ny toerana misy ny vehivavy eo anivon'ny fiaraha-monina. |
8 | A deadly event acted a dreadful reminder of that alarming reality when in mid-February Fadoua Laroui, a young single mother, self-immolated in a public place protesting her hopeless social situation. | Toe-javatra nampalahelo namoizana ain'olona no tsaroana raha momba ny zava-misy marina mampatahotra satria vehivavy renim-pianakaviana iray, tokan-tena, Fadoua Laroui, no namono tena teny amin'ny toerana be olona ny tapaky ny volana febroary lasa teo raha nanohitra ny zavatra mampalahelo iainany ao aamin'ny fiaraha-monina. |
9 | Women marchers took to the streets today and a vigil was organized to celebrate the memory of Fadoua Laroui right at the heart of Casablanca, the largest city in the country, from where these pictures were sent by Feryate Mahjoub via Twitter: | Vehivavy maro no nilahatra an-dalambe androany ary nisy ny fiareta-tory nokarakaraina hahatsiarovana an'i Fadoua Laroui tao afovoan'i Casablanca, tanàna lehibe indrindra manerana ny firenena, ary avy any no nandefasan'i Feryate Mahjoub ireto sary ireto ao amin'nyTwitter: |
10 | We are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for martyr Fadoua http://twitpic.com/47jazi | Vonona izahay rehetra ho faty noho i Fadoua maty maritiora http://twitpic.com/47jazi |
11 | Vigil in memory of Fadoua Laroui | Jiro ho tsiaro an i Fadoua Laroui |
12 | @Feryate: Picture from the sit-in in memory of Fadoua Laroui in Casblanca | @Feryate: Sary nampiseho ny hetsika ho fahatsiarovana an'i Fadoua Laroui tao Casablanca |
13 | Sit-in in memory of Fadoua Laroui | Hetsika fahatsiarovana an 'i Fadoua Laroui |
14 | Feryate also posted this picture from the same gathering showing women(and men) carrying placards where their demands were inscribed: | Feryate koa nandefa ity sary ity nalaina nandritra izany fotoana izany ihany, sary mampiseho vehivavy (sy lehilahy) milanja sora-baventy misy ny fitakian'izy ireo: |
15 | Equality and Parity for Women | Fitoviana sy Fifandanjana ho an ny vehivavy |
16 | On the Moroccan blogosphere, male and female bloggers have been reflecting on this International Day. | Ao amin'ny tontolon'ny bilaogy maraokana, mpitoraka bilaogy lahy sy vavy maro no naneho hevitra momba ny Andron'ny Vehivavy Eran-tany. |
17 | Marrokia (Sanaa) is one of the most popular Moroccan bloggers. | Marrokia (Sanaa) no anankiray amin'ny mpitoraka bilaogy maraokana fantatr'olona. |
18 | She had this rather bleak perspective to share: | Manana izao fitsipika izao izy ary nozarainy: |
19 | [women] never look for equality, only beg for justice. | [vehivavy] tsy miady ho amin'ny fitovian-jo mihitsy, fa mangataka hisian'ny fahamarinana fotsiny. |
20 | Look for it in yourself and be content with the peace of mind. | Diniho tsara ny tenanao ary aleo mionona amin'ny filaminan-tsaina. |
21 | Enough slogans and nonsensical appeals … Women are women and men are men. | Be izay sora-baventy sy fitakiana tsy nisy vokany izay… Vehivavy vehivavy ihany ary ny lehilahy koa lehilahy ihany… |
22 | Aghrass is an photographer and blogger. | Aghrass mpaka sary sady mpitoraka bilaogy. |
23 | He writes: | Manoratra izy: |
24 | This day is dedicated to Fadoua Laroui, who for many reasons committed suicide in despair, screaming the injustice of men and of the system. | Natokana ho an'i Fadoua Laroui ity andro ity. fadoua izay noho ny antony samy hafa dia namono tena satria namoy fo vokatry ny fanavakavahan'ny lehilahy sy ny rafitra mihitsy. |
25 | Citoyen Hmida has chosen to write about Moroccan female painters. | Citoyen Hmida nisafidy ny hanoratra momba ny mpanao sary hosodoko vehivavy maraokana. |
26 | He posted the pictures of the work of some of them on his blog. | Nandefa ny sary hosodokon'ny sasany amin'izy ireny izy ao amin'ny bilaoginy. |
27 | Citoyen Hmida writes: | Citoyen Hmida manoratra: |
28 | On this day, March 8, the International Women's Day, I wanted to pay tribute to Moroccan women, but without lamenting on their fate and without exploiting the deep and daily poverty experienced by some of them. | Amin'izao 8 martsa izao, andron'ny vehivavy, dia te hanome voninahitra manokana ny vehivavy maraokana aho, tsy amin'ny fitarainako amin'ny zava-manjo azy ireo na amin'ny fandoarana indray ny fahantrana lalina iainan'ny ankamaroan'izy ireo andavanandro. |
29 | On Twitter, Meriem (@meriemk) is triumphant. | Ao amin'nyTwitter, Meriem (@meriemk) faly ery. |
30 | She tweets: | Hoy izy: |
