Photographer Laura Boushnak celebrates success stories in women’s education across the Arab World.
我们大多数人都视阅读为理所当然——比如辨认自家门外的路牌。然而对于阿拉伯世界数量庞大的女性而言，基本的读写能力并非唾手可得。正因如此，摄影师、TED研究员劳拉·布什纳克（TED演讲：《对这些女性来说，阅读是一种大胆之举》）于2009年发起了”我阅读，我书写”项目，以影像记录阿拉伯各国女性教育的现状。这位巴勒斯坦难民自己曾历经艰辛才得以进入大学，她深信教育是女性实现经济独立的关键。以下为部分精选照片。
对于也门农村的女孩而言，仅仅是获得上学的许可就已是一道难关。图中，一年级的学生五人同坐一张长凳。教室里常常一位老师要面对多达150名学生。
在布什纳克迄今为”我阅读，我书写”系列记录的五个国家中，突尼斯为女性提供了最好的受教育机会。在那里，她将镜头聚焦于女性在政治运动中扮演的角色。这张照片中，大学生阿斯玛坐在自己的公寓里读书，身后墙上涂写着”人民要求推翻政权”——这是突尼斯革命中广为流传的一句口号。
