论埃及剧变中的女性政治参与

Women's Political Participation in Egypt's Drastic Change

2011年的埃及政治剧变为女性的政治参与提供了契机。在此次政治剧变中,女性积极参与各种政治活动,走上街头,在穆巴拉克下台的过程中发挥了重要作用。在埃及政治重建的过程中,妇女主动表达诉求,参与国家政治建设,但是,其政治参与的道路充满着曲折。特别是埃及社会存在严重的针对妇女的暴力行为,其参与宪法制定的过程也受到了各种限制。女性政治参与出现困境的原因在于,女性运动缺乏独立性而被当做是政治工具、父权制的限制、殖民主义的影响以及来自女性自身的阻力等。但应该指出的是,埃及妇女的声音正在越来越多地被外界听到,妇女自身的政治参与意识也在逐渐提高。

Egypt's drastic change in 2011,which women took an active part,was a good opportunity for their political participation.They rushcd to the street and played an important role in the fall of the Mubarak regime.Egyptian women express their will and take part in the political rebuilding positively in the following era.However,the path to freedom and justice is dotted with many obstacles.There is serious physical violence against women in Egypt and they have to confront many difficulties in the new constitution formulating process.The reasons for women's plight include the lack of independence in Egyptian feminist activities,the limitations from the patriarchy,the influence of colonialism and women's internal divide.What need to be noted is that the voices of Egyptian women arc being heard by the international society widely and their awareness of political participation is rising.
