Empowerment

تقرير: التار ولد أحمده

نواكشوط (CNN)-- يرتبط اسم "آمنة منت المختار" لدي الموريتانيين بالتضحية والنضال والوقوف مع الضعفاء والمظلومين، فنصف قرن من الزمن من التعاطي والاهتمام بمشاكل الفقراء وقضاياهم كانت فترة كافية لتجعل منها أيقونة النضال النسوي في بلادها.

نشطت آمنة في كل القضايا الإنسانية العادلة، سواء الاجتماعية أو السياسية، أو الاقتصادية، فكانت تؤازر كل مضطهد وتقف مع كل مظلوم، وفي سبيل ذلك واجهت أصناف التضييق وأنواع القمع و التنكيل وفي بعض الأحيان السجن، ممّا دفع عدة منظمات حقوقية إلى الإشادة بها.

 Le manuel est une ressource essentielle pour ceux prenant une approche critique et mettante en doute aux droits, des lois et les constructions de féminité dans des pays Musulmans et des communautés et au-delà de.

This book provides an urgently needed analysis of the bravery and creativity exhibited by women in the realm of sports, which has emerged as a major realm of contestation between proponents of women’s rights and political Islamist forces in Muslim contexts. Through focused case studies, this volume tracks the many sophisticated, context-specific, and constantly evolving strategies of women’s resistance to their exclusion in sport. Integral in their struggles for full inclusion in competitive sports, as both players and spectators, is women’s claim to their full and equal citizenship.

 Nepalese politicians have elected a longtime women's rights campaigner to become the country's first female president, as the Himalayan nation pushes for more gender equality in politics and work life.
