Dear Anwar,
Why do you think women do not want the change? What are their causes for that? Is it because of the culture and mainly the patriarchal culture that brings values of its own? Is it the fear from strangers? Is it the lack of knowledge to rights?
Or are there other reasons? In Beja women live in a close society, with a very conservative culture, in villages where I had worked, women do not talk to strangers or men, women don't and cannot visit a clinic where the nurse is a man which is the case in all times, women may get a little religious education from Shikha in the massjid but this is all. So if women cannot be examined by men, why not have female nurses and midwives?
I would like to say women are not in position to protest, or to accept or to refuse, the whole situation is severe, and within this situation there is a strong dominant male culture and women cannot and dare not to think to rebel against it, simply it is not in their hands and it is not in their husbands hands either the way we might think. If Beja people were in different position, the status of their women would have been also different even with a dominant patriarchal culture. Why do Beja men fear the education of their women? Because they themselves did not have education, they do not appreciate it the way others do, can we blame them? If you live in isolated society you fear strangers, and education is a stranger. The situation is slightly different in Garora than that of Hamsh Koreb, Garora was considered a city, it had its modest civil service, and a primary school for girls and another one for boys were built, after the war of 1999 when Garora was captured for sometime, the schools were closed, and when it was liberated, the two schools became one and those who were still in Garora from boys and girls sat in the same class. People in Garaora were able to change to some extent, their ideas about female’s education developed to the better. In my class I had women of 50 years old, willing to learn although that was almost impossible mainly because of the language, I taught in Arabic and education should be delivered in their language. The point I want to make here, governments have helped the negative culture to prevail, this has affected all society and of course women suffer more, we continue,
