Quote by سفر الحوالي

“واعلموا أن الأمة التي تفرط في عرضها لا يمكن أن تحتفظ بعد ذلك بأي شيء، فإن العرب حتى في جاهليتهم ما كانوا يرضون هذا- يعني السفور ومخالطة الرجال- لبناتهم أو لأخواتهم ولا لأمهاتهم، بل كانوا يتفاخرون بالعفة؛ وهذا عنترة بن شداد يقول: وأغضُّ طرفي إن بدت لي جارتي حتى يواري جارتي مأواها”

“I am flawed and not perfect and get the theory incorrect because I am still unlearning internalised oppression. I still struggle with deep-seated beliefs about gender norms and have to constantly check myself. I don’t get it right all the time but I am walking in the right direction. I used to be hard on myself because I desperately wanted my feminism to be accepted by other feminists. This is when I learned the importance of the different threads that run through different strands of feminism. Sometimes I don’t feminist up to the standards of others but I continue to identify as an African feminist. It is important that we offer critique among one another though – so we may continually check our blind spots.”

“I know that my fight on this continent is a fight against patriarchy, poverty, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, FGM, rape, HIV/Aids, human and food insecurity, displacement, conflicts and the many atrocities we continue to face. I fight with hope for total liberation. And I know that with this identity, labelling myself as an African feminist, it is not to say that there is a sisterhood that represents and speaks on behalf of all of us. We are not homogenous, but we are connected.”
