温柔的力量也可以改变世界|她高中没上完就去消灭IS了
据英国媒体报道,IS组织惨无人道的暴行已经引起公愤,一位丹麦女战士乔安娜-帕拉尼(Joanna Palani)因此离开哥本哈根加入库尔德武装抗击IS。她在叙利亚的一整年里,与库尔德民兵一起出生入死,甚至在夺回一座小村子时亲眼看到了IS的性奴悲惨遭遇。
据悉乔安娜是库尔德人后裔,2014年11月她偷偷离开丹麦首都哥本哈根,加入了库尔德武装人民保卫联盟(People's Protection Unit,YPG),后来又加入由库尔德地方政府组织的自由斗士军(Peshmerga)。
正值青春年少的花季少女就此踏上了战火连天的战场,本该是享受美好年华的年纪她为何能有如此大的勇气前往硝烟弥漫生死未知的战场?今天我们就一起来倾听一位年轻女战士的故事。
乔安娜.帕拉尼离前线非常的近。虽然她决心与IS 战斗的决定将是一个漫长的过程,但是当她刚来到伊拉克,就立即参加了叙利亚军事训练营的训练。
就在几分钟前乔安娜.帕拉尼以及其他库尔德战士均遭到了IS 的射击。但是此刻战斗立即平息下来好像什么都没发生过一样,全体人员也开始继续前进。在伊拉克的库尔德地区,战争就是每天的生活,而年轻的女孩儿乔安娜.帕拉尼就是其中的一部分。
During the Iran-Iraq war, a couple fled Kurdish Iran, giving birth to a baby girl in a refugee camp in Iraq. Three years later, they made a home in Scandinavia, raising their child in the Danish countryside. That little girl—Joanna Palani—grew up to become a fiercely independent, politically idealistic woman. Some two decades since her parents’ departure from their homeland, Joanna, a high school student, left the safety of home to join in the Kurdish fight against ISIS.
在两伊战争(1980-88年间发生在伊朗和伊拉克两国间的战争)期间,一对夫妇为了躲避伊朗库尔德的战火来到了伊拉克的难民营,后来在伊拉克的难民营里她们的宝贝女儿出生了。三年后他们全家在斯堪的纳维亚半岛安了家,这对夫妻和她们的女儿开始了在丹麦乡村的生活。当年那个在难民营出生的小女孩儿一转眼就长成了一位个性独立怀抱政治理想的年轻女性。在父母背井离乡二十年后,还是高中生的女孩 Joanna 决定离开如今温暖的家庭生活,加入库尔德人抗击IS 的战斗。
Earlier this year, Danish photographer Asger Ladefoged and journalist Allan Sorensen, both on staff at the newspaper Berlingske, traveled to Rojava, Syria in search of Joanna. Though they were unable to track her down, Sorensen received upon his arrival home a Facebook friend request from none other than the young Kurdish fighter. After initial contact was made, the 22-year-old Joanna agreed to a rendezvous in Erbil, Iraq, where she gave her permission for the pair to follow her for eight days as she made her way into battle.
今年年初,丹麦《Berlingske》报纸的摄影师 Asger Ladefoged 和 记者 Allan Sorensen 决定前往叙利亚城市 Rojava 采访这位高中女生 Joanna。尽管一开始他们并没有找到这位女孩儿的踪迹,但是在一行人回家之后在Facebook 上收到了一位年轻女孩儿的消息,这位女孩儿不是别人正式他们苦苦寻找的年轻库尔德战士。随后他们商量好了初步的接触方案,22岁的女孩儿 Joanna 约定好在伊拉克的埃尔比勒见面。在那里摄影师和记者可以在 Joanna 的带领下进行为期八天的战地采访。
Joanna has since childhood valued her autonomy and opposed religious fundamentalism and the oppression of women. During her school days, in the summer of 2012, she went into training in Kurdish Iran, keeping her injuries hidden from classmates by evading gym class and other scenarios in which her legs and feet would be exposed. When she left for the Kurdish army, she didn’t inform her family her whereabouts until months had elapsed.
Joanna 从小就非常自主,她反对宗教原教旨主义以及对女性的压迫。在她的校园时光里,也就是在2012年的夏天,她只身前往伊朗库尔德参加了秘密训练。回到学校之后为了隐藏自己训练留下的伤痕她只能通过逃避体育课,尽量躲在教室里以免腿和脚上的伤被同学发现,通过这样的方式她才保持住了自己心底的秘密。甚至当她前往库尔德参军时,她都没有告诉自己的家人,直到几个月以后她的家人才知道了女儿的消息。
In Syria and Iraq, where she has fought, Joanna longs to see a new generation of women who are entitled to and free to express themselves in the public forum. Her mother worries about her daughter, of course, and has tried to convince her to come home, but Joanna’s tenacity and will has kept her in the line of fire. She’s seen a girl of sixteen, close to her own age, killed by fighters for the Islamic State.
叙利亚和伊拉克,也就是她战斗的地方。Joanna 渴望在这里看到新一代的女性能够有权利和自由表达自己的公共意见。她的母亲当然非常担心自己女儿的安危,一直都试图说服女儿乖乖回家,但是 Joanna 用自己的韧性和坚持说服了家人,最终她还是留在了战火连天的前线。在战场上她看到一名年仅十六岁的女孩子被伊斯兰国武装分子残忍杀害,而这个女孩子看起来和自己一样的青春年少。
During his short time with Joanna, Ladefoged bonded with her over intimate conversations about her history and her wishes for the future. Although she is in many ways what he calls a “‘regular’ Dane,” her courage and principles have led her down an irregular path. Although she is an atheist, she admits to praying to God as the bullets have flown past her head in combat. She suffers from nightmares, and at times can be heard yelling the word “Shoot!” in her sleep.
摄影师 Ladefoged 逐渐和 Joanna 熟悉起来,他们一起聊了她关于自己成为库尔德战士的经历以及对于未来的期许。虽然表面上看起来她只是一个普通的丹麦女孩儿,但是异常惊人的勇气和决心却引领她踏上了一条非比寻常的道路。尽管 Joanna 是一名无神论者,但她仍会向上帝祈祷在战斗中那些子弹可以幸运的从自己头顶掠过。不论这个女孩子有多勇敢,但是在心底她仅仅是一个孩子,战争带来的惊恐一直在折磨着她。她从来没有踏踏实实的睡过一个整觉,因为即使是在梦中也时常有枪声在耳边回响。
Since June, explains the photographer, Joanna has been living back in Denmark, though she hopes to return to the front lines. Since her return, the Danish government has seized Joanna’s passport and forbidden her to leave the country under foreign fighter laws pending trial on January 19th. Her future remains uncertain.
今年六月份,据摄影师了解 Joanna 已经回到了丹麦,尽管她心底仍然想重返前线战场。自从她回到丹麦之后,政府就查封了她的护照,而且因为私自前往外国参加战争违反法律决定对她在1月19日进行候审。所以在这种情况下这个女孩儿的未来变得岌岌可危。
Joanna Palani left Denmark to fight against ISIS. She couldn’t concentrate to complete high school. Her thoughts were with the Kurdish people: “I’ve always had more struggles in life than my friends in Denmark.”
乔安娜-帕拉尼为了离开丹麦加入消灭 IS 的战斗,不得不放弃自己未完成的高中学业。在她的心里觉得自己永远和库尔德人民的心在一起,并且表示:“在那里有和我一起奋斗的战友,甚至多过在丹麦的朋友。”
乔安娜在投入战斗的第一个夜晚就遭遇了危机。她的同伴,一位来自瑞典的战士被敌方狙击手射杀。乔安娜回忆当晚的情形时说,自己来到这里,是为了库尔德人能够获得自由和民主而战斗,即使为此而死去,也是值得骄傲的。乔安娜不断遭遇险情,但她从未后悔自己的选择。她和战友们不仅要抗击IS,还要应付阿萨德政府军。政府军训练有素,装备先进,是非常棘手的敌人。
据悉这名23岁的女战士现在已经回国,正在攻读政治学和心理学学位。虽然回到了哥本哈根继续学业,但是乔安娜真正关心的还是发生在叙利亚和伊拉克的一切,还有她的库尔德战友们。
可能在世人的眼里女人就应该“上厅堂,下厨房”的形象,男人眼里好女人的标准就是温柔贤惠。但是在新时代女性的角色早已发生了改变,女人早已不是那个只有家庭这一片天的笼中之鸟了。所以可以看到在世界舞台上女性的声音和力量越来越重要,希拉里竞选美国总统就是一个最令全体女性骄傲的例子。
不管她本人有多少瑕疵,但是她敢于打破只有男性可以成为美国总统的天花板,这份勇气就是令人钦佩的。就像乔安娜一样,她敢于踏上战场的勇气值得我们的赞颂。所以温柔有时也是一种力量,而这种力量同样也可以改变世界。
温柔的力量也可以改变世界!
