It all started from Tunisia. In the wave of popular revolutions that are shaking the Arab world, mothers, girls, sisters and students took to the streets, alongside men, to demand social change and civil. They led a procession, sang for liberation, defied the curfew, marked a turning point in the forms of civic participation and political protest.
In addition to the square, women have become leaders in communication and information through new media: blogs, instant messaging and social networks, which were held in touch, organized, informed and express, by filtering their voices heard. "These are the new technologies have given them the strength to fight with men.
They have helped to communicate, express themselves more or less freely. And their efforts have resulted in a reaction that is made from virtual real": so sondes Ben Khalifa, Tunisian journalist and blogger, interprets what has been emphasized by many as the new factor in these riots. For twelve years the Tunisian Radio Chaine Internationale, his is one of the most interesting and unusual from the country that started the spark that ignited the North Africa.
Tomorrow spoke at a meeting held at the Rector of the University of Roma Tre, dedicated to this phenomenon, entitled "The mimosa and jasmine. Women and the Web in squares in the world," and anticipates the Republic, some of his reflections. "The status of women is a source of pride in Tunisia has continued to improve under the close of Bourguiba, Ben Ali has also established a police state scary but continued the policy of emancipation of women.
In Tunisia, the woman is present in public space, is in the streets, in cafes, involved in politics. And 'educated, well connected to new technologies. The land is so fertile that the Tunisian woman participates actively in the revolution and denouncing the right to freedom of expression and dignity .
contrasts with the situation of women in other Arab countries. That, in my opinion, have fought alone, without these opportunities, and have used the network, blogs, social media to support their march to freedom " . And 'the beginning of a new phenomenon? "No, not really. This participation is still far from being a phenomenon.
Rather it is launching a reform process. And it is the normal outcome of a crackdown lasted several years. Women constitute half of society and it is right to be an active part in the process of change taking place in their countries. " Why are these movements in the Arab countries now see women in the firing line? "The presence of women in these movements in the Arab world is great but Tunisia does not surprise me too much: as authorized by the rights, women in Tunisia are on the same footing as men.
But what gave strength to women in the rest of the Arab countries are just new technologies, which have played an important role. I think the bloggers, who also all'anominato can pass through their point of view, their discontent, their "revolt" freely. "The role of social networks, in particular, proved crucial.
They made only to fly or have built these things? "From Tunisia, these revolutions have been sparked mainly by social networks, Facebook in the head. A simple to use, a great open door for communication. Internet, blogs and social media were half to fuel the revolution inevitable. "The web has provided a new space for women." Certainly, a new area of \u200b\u200bcommunication and revolution.
In particular for women who live in situations of injustice, family and social repression. O policies, such as the prohibition to play an active role in society. The web is a medium that offers a unique approach virtual reality and allows women to express themselves freely, under the anonymity of a virtual profile.
Like the blog of women in the Mediterranean, sponsored by Copeam experience, the Permanent Conference of Mediterranean Audiovisual Operators: News Lab project which I participated, brought together about twenty women from different countries, who have contacted have shared their vision of the world, their society, creating a blog journalism.
A match that opened the door to dialogue and also enlightened me, personally, giving me the courage to express myself more freely in my work, against a dictatorship that saw the arrival of its end due to a virtual mobilization, transformed into real. "really going to change anything now in this country?" Change is inevitable, our companies come from the beaten track to see the day: my vision is optimistic.
Also improve the conditions of women, of course, to varying degrees. Those who have already acquired rights and will fight to keep consolidating, who has yet to do in the simplest way to make them. "And what are your expectations?" I expect a 'broadcast' full democracy in our countries.
Some progress has been made, but there is still a long way to go. "
