[Music]
to suffer to be fine when we think
to the women of Mali
we think again roubaix
so vote who is legendary to joy
to live
but then why suffer to be
end i’ll see story of three
girls first I leave you
imagine 4 year old girl she lives in a
town
she plays with her friends and a beautiful day
she gets you ripped off by a
of his aunts one of his grandfathers
maybe conducted in a place that she
ignore naive she follows them well
obviously without knowing what he has in
and there she will join others
girls
imagine the painting several girls
between 4 and 6 years old in a place
that she ignores and there she will undergo one
the first violence of his life we ​​go
cut off one of those parts
we will cut off one of his parts
intimate and there in all the pain
she feels she is trying to get up
she tries to market she tries to
find a way to reduce his
pain that she does not understand
anyway
and there we certainly told people certainly
teeth because you finally woman must
suffer and the output of this trauma
physical and moral it continues the
chores of water chores of wood
she’s not going to school because there’s no
no energy at home she has to
help her mom in the work
domestic and there a beautiful day
at puberty barely does it come from
become pope that she has to get married and
again it’s the unknown a husband
that she does not know in kiss who
would be from a neighboring village that
would probably be a lot older
or even of her age she must
rejoin
and there after all the festivities we have him
give a very simple advice you go to
her husband is your mother it’s god on
earth you do everything they do you
ask without killing hard everything he
do you because you are a woman you have to
suffer
and here we go if the blues
will be beaten if it’s a psychopath
chance can do who will maybe
nice with her but it’s the unknown
and there she will make children in this
body that is not yet developed it
there is no health center
she can lose babies she can
she even places
and there I do not tell you anymore
story because you know the
after
and a second girl running away from
early marriage she did not escape
excision but she refuses to marry
this man she does not know alas
that adventure and comes in the city
it’s the unknown she’ll be employed
in a family is there she will undergo
still violence but she will be in
hard and that it’s a woman and she
could be abused and one day if a
jewel gets lost in this house she goes
to be in pre-trial detention
in the detention center for women
and minor and may stay there for
years nobody comes looking for because
she fled the early marriage because she
no longer has parents for this reason and
the company has no regard for this
girl and her story is over
there will be more follow-up for her
could have also contracted a pregnancy
early in all this wandering in the
city ​​that is unknown to him
seizing his support without any law
who protect her how there the police
denounce a rape that he will listen that will
take her out of these night raids between
the hands of the police person
it’s a woman she will suffer then
I have
to relaunch ladies and gentlemen when
you will go out 18 you will see the
saleswoman of bananas salespeople back
the housekeepers the vendors of
skewers look what value
added
it brings to our economy it takes
absolutely
I am speaking to you today and I have
baskets of colas behind for my
peers I apologize to whom
I’m sorry we have to stop
think men are superior
to women it is necessary that men
agree to share their super
power with women it takes
absolutely change the look of men
and this patriarchal system of our
society because after twenty years of struggle
against excision
how can you imagine that mali
in 2017 at 89% prevalence rate
it’s disgusting how to understand
today that early marriage
persists that girls get married at 11
how are we going to continue not to
promote girls’ schooling
but in a concrete way that each
man are investing for his daughter that
every man are investing for
sensitize our fathers in the villages
to educate girls to avoid them
to come to town
street vendor to suffer
violence and by the laws to be
forgotten by a system and especially it takes
tackle the problem from an angle
economic
how do you want our growth
improves if half of the population
did not participate in the creation of the régie
stop because all those girls who
come alive is what you imagine
that their only ambition is to come
buy some clothes go back
marry and it’s over
it does not stink at the creation of the
wealth in today the problem
of gender inequality in mali
that’s the problem of our sub
development and that men he goes
really have to face it and but
first of all everything that I you
asks first to do is to stop
all life forms think but above all
to invest in the education of your
girls not to tell your free and on
and we’re going to see your mom that’s not my
problem
not any problem as regards TPI
the mom that the dad and the dads anymore
invest in education in the
surveillance in the protection of
girl better she will be protected
so men I call you
change your gaze agreed to share
the power
how do you want to develop in
the national assembly one to 147 deputies
whose infamous is anti-democratic
simply there are 52% of women
do not be afraid to share power
with women do not be afraid of not
more be the god on earth and have
also women who are there who
work by your side and so I’m going
talk to you now about the third
daughter she on the other hand she went to
school she studied she did not
not suffered violence because it’s
his father who protected him advance his shit
before all the women she
knew
it was his father who pushed him to do
superior Studies
it’s still his father who made him
understand that the tradition she is
important that religion she is
important but what is important
first and foremost it’s human life it’s
the human being is in his we are
all equal and there is no limit to
potential of the girl in relation to
boys
so this girl she grew up
she chose her husband she did
children she is fulfilled in her
life but she was simply
because in her life she was protected
violence because in his life we
gave him the same opportunities as
boys and 7 girls
ladies and gentlemen it’s me
and it’s me and it’s thanks to my father
and he does not know why I told him to
come today that’s what I
wanted to tell him I thank him and g I
you scare one is what I
scare you think women who
go to school who work who who
are manager who manage men on
do not catch our husband’s bag when
he’s going home
sir drama she can tell you
if it’s true or not and then by the way
why men our after not the
women’s bag it would be good
simply to tell you that he
there is no raid being afraid of women
who are ambitious or women who
have the power and is not afraid that
we will actually reverse the trend
I hear that often there is no
reason that it happens but you have to
really understand that the questions of
people it’s not women
the problem of the kind the problem of
discrimination and inequality in our
country is the first cause of our
poverty
today and as long as we do not go
settle that half of the population
will not be able to develop the mali without
the other half is so I would
today say something else and there I
still baskets of colas for same and
mr it’s time to stop perpetuating
traditions that make us suffer my
girl just saw by telling you she has
been beaten by her husband
you tell him I saw worse return
your eldest daughter a little puny anyway
make him undergo excision why and
so I believe in bambara andy
domannial adveniat cheylard aulas he
must also as women we
take our responsibility to go out
of inferiority study to go out in
made of this system that makes us
victims and that we even at some
moments perpetuating because violence
I tell you she can cause violence
is the first brake on everything
development and development of the
woman and life and so to us too
women we have our score to
play and so I really invite top
in this room has changed your look
on girls but has changed your
look at all the girls you go
go out you go it is she mali
when 52% of the population and
female under 15 and she
is not far she is there she does not
does not help create wealth
it does not bring any added value
is it time that it happens so we do not
will not grow but first of all is
the
these are all forms of violence and
discrimination against women and
girls and ceasing to perpetuate these
harmful traditional practices that
do not allow us to move forward
today thank you
