13.THIS is an adapted excerpt(摘录)from Eman Mohammed's speech at TED (Technology,Entertainment and Design),a non-profit conference,in 2014.She is one of the few female photo journalists in the Gaza Strip(加沙地带).
When I was 19,I started my career as the first female photojournalist in the Gaza Strip,Palestine.My work as a woman photographer was considered a serious insult(侮辱)to local traditions.The male-dominated profession made me feel unwelcome by all possible means.They made it clear that a woman must not do a man's job.Photo agencies in Gaza refused to train me.
Three of my colleagues went as far as to drive me to an open air strike area where explosions were the only thing I could hear.Dust was flying in the air,and the ground was shaking beneath me.I only realized we weren't there to document the event when the three of them got back into the armored(装甲的)Jeep and drove away,waving and laughing.Leaving me behind in the open air strike zone.
For a moment,I felt terrified,humiliated,and sorry for myself…
I started paying closer attention to women's lives in Gaza.Because I am a woman,I could go where my colleagues were forbidden to go.Beyond the obvious pain and struggle,there were healthy amounts of laugher and accomplishments.
In front of a police compound in Gaza City during the first war in Gaza,an Israeli air raid(袭击)destroyed the compound and broke my nose.For a moment,all I saw was bright white.I thought I had either gone blind or I was in heaven.By the time I managed to open my eyes,I had documented this moment.
Mohammed Khader is a Palestinian worker who spent two decades in Israel.As his retirement plan,he decided to build a four-floor house.By just the first field operation(军事行动)in his neighborhood,the house had been flattened.Nothing was left but the pigeons he raised and a bathtub.Mohammed put the bathtub on the top of the rubble(瓦砾)and started giving his kids a bobble bath every morning.
My work is not meant to hide the scars of war,but to show the full unseen stories of Gazans.As a Palestinian female photographer,the journey of struggle,survival and everyday life has inspired me to overcome the community taboo(禁忌)and see a different side of war and its aftermath(灾祸).I became a witness with a choice:to run away or stand still.
