TEDTalks 社会与文化关于女性，伊斯兰教到底是怎样说的 | Alaa Murabit阿拉•穆拉比特在15岁时，和家人一起从加拿大搬到了利比亚。之前，她感到和她的兄弟们是平等的，但在新环境里她感觉到了强大的禁忌，她可以做什么不可以做什么由禁忌决定。作为一位对自己的信仰感到自豪的穆斯林女性，她想搞清楚：这些宗教戒律是真的吗？她的演讲幽默而富有活力，其中的叛逆精神更令人耳目一新，她讲述了她是如何发现伊斯兰教历史中也有女性领导者，以及她如何发起了一起运动，直接从古兰经里引用诗句来捍卫女性权利。Translated by Tian YeReviewed by Yongjun Li2015-07-2112 min
TED Global IssuesAlaa Murabit: What my religion really says about womenAlaa Murabit's family moved from Canada to Libya when she was 15. Before, she’d felt equal to her brothers, but in this new environment she sensed big prohibitions on what she could accomplish. As a proud Muslim woman, she wondered: was this really religious doctrine? With humor, passion and a refreshingly rebellious spirt, she shares how she discovered examples of female leaders from across the history of her faith — and how she launched a campaign to fight for women's rights using verses directly from the Koran.2015-07-2112 min
