Going through a divorce can be a challenging experience, but it can also lead to personal growth. In the last episode of the 'She' podcast, three Arab women living in Australia discuss how they overcame their difficulties and broke free from societal stereotypes as widows, divorcees, and single mothers in both Western and Eastern cultures. Despite their hardships, they found a way to heal and move forward. - يمثل انتهاء العلاقة الزوجية واحدة من أكبر الازمات التي قد تمر بها المرأة أينما كانت. في الحلقة الأخيرة من هذا الموسم لبودكاست هي، سنستمع إلى قصص ثلاث سيدات عربيات حولن تجاربهن الأليمة إلى سلاح حاربن به الصور النمطية التي تلاحق الأرامل والمطلقات والأمهات العازبات في معظم المجتمعات الغربية والشرقية.

Some Arab Australian women report being made to feel inadequate and isolated if they remain unmarried. Further, they say this 'stigma' is reinforced by certain words and phrases in Arabic. - نساء من مختلف الأعمار والمستويات العلمية يكسرن صمتهن ويتحدثن عن العزلة الاجتماعية التي تعيشها المرأة غير المتزوجة في المجتمعات الشرقية، ووصمة العار المبطنة التي تُشعر المرأة العزباء بأنها غير مكتملة. كيف تتحوّل اذَا كلمة "عقبالك" او "نفرح منك" من تعبير صادق حول الحب، الزواج والاحتفال بديمومة الحياة الى جلدٍ نفسي مبطن بكلمات؟ وهل المرأة غير المتزوجة ناقصة وفي سباق مع الساعة البيولوجية على حساب الساعة النفسية والعاطفية، فقط من أجل الزواج؟

The 'She' podcast, the latest offering from SBS Arabic24, seeks to create a space for Arab migrant women to share their success stories of overcoming the challenges they may have faced in Australia and Arab countries to achieve their aspirations. - بودكاست "هي" هو أحدثْ إصداراتْ أس بي أس عربي24، الذي يسعى إلى خلقِ مساحة للنساء العربيات المهاجرات لمشاركة قصص نجاحهِنَّ في التغلب على التحديات التي يواجِهنها في أستراليا والبلدان العربية.

This week I wanted to do something a little different for our book club. Usually I'm bringing you some kind of long form narrative (typically a novel) and opening up on my thoughts about how the particular story engages with issues or questions that get to the heart of our lives.I love these stories, they're immensely satisfying and I'll definitely be back with more soon.This week though I wanted to bring you a little poetry. Specifically I wanted to let everyone out there know about Poetry Month an initiative from Red Room Poetry.This is the inaugural poetry month and it really is a festival of poetic art spanning styles from the traditional, through hip hop and an array of voices from throughout the community.Poetry Month is organised and run by Red Room Poetry and it's designed to increase the profile of Australian Poets, Poetry and Publishers.I don't know about you but I've always loved poetry. Having said that, I haven't always made time for it in my life.Poetry has a way of demanding your attention, slapping you in the face with a line that makes you look at the world like you've been wearing blinkers (spoiler alert - you have).A collection I've been loving recently, though by no means underestimating as it sneaks up on me in strange ways, is Evelyn Araluen's Drop Bear. Throughout the collection Araluen chews up ideas and visions, cliches and tropes to show us this country in ways we never thought to look…In Index Australis, Araluen writes:No law against that, no laws for nothingIn the age of entitlementIn the decolonial DundeeAnd well may we say , we will decideWho and howWell may we not be lectured and wellMay we do it slowlyJust there in that stanza, Araluen skewers our political class and us for our reliance on either side for their moral high ground while they leave so many languishing.Evelyn Araluen joins poetry month as part of Fair Trade - First Nations poetic conversations, a series of conversations bringing together some of the world's leading first nations poets.Poetry Month will also be Featuring:30 in 30 - delivering daily, original text/video poems from some of Australia's best poetsPoetry Workshops - with poets such as Tony Birch & Hope OneLine Break - a weekly online poetry show Fair Trade - conversations with First Nations poetsAnother poet who'll be featuring as part of poetry month is Omar Sakr. His collection The Lost Arabs won amongst other accolades The Prime Minister's Literary Awards Poetry Prize. I often wonder if the PM reads the works that get his award. I feel like if he had read The Lost Arabs we might get a little more humility, more understanding and less bluster.One thing that scares me when I read poetry is that I might misunderstand, but then the poet always seems to leave room. Omar is an Arab Australian poet whose work addresses identities that are not my own, and yet when I read in his poem How to Destroy The Body Slowly:You. Every day for a hundred yearsIf you're so luckyLive with this ordinaryDivinity, live with this death as long as you can& waste not a single day on a rose.I hear something of the insecurity and the beauty that I struggle to find in life sometimes and that we can all discover when we read Omar's poems.If you're looking for more, well Poetry Month starts soon and the best part of all is it's online, so join in wherever you are.For more details check out https://redroompoetry.org/ and discover all the poetry events across the month....

Thank you so much for tuning in for this special episode as part of Women's History Month. On this episode I am joined by Sally Mousa an international speaker, moderator and a global media presenter. Sally has lived in the Middle East for over a decade now, where she has been a presenter and producer on some of the region's top platforms. As an Arab-Australian, Sally is passionate about powerful stories that break barriers, explore diverse narratives and are part of wider conversations driving change world-wide. International Women's Day and Women's History Month in general, dates back to a demonstration at end of February 1908 NYC, after which 3 German delegates proposed such day is organised every year. The following year on March 19, 1911, IWD was marked for the first time, by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Women demanded that they be given the right to vote and to hold public office. They also protested against employment sex discrimination. In Russia for instance 8th March is a national holiday there. On March 8, 1917 in the capital of the Russian Empire, Petrograd, women textile workers began a demonstration, covering the whole city. It is often said that this marked the beginning of the Russian Revolution. Women went on strike for "Bread and Peace" – demanding the end of World War I, an end to Russian food shortages, and the end of czarism. This day has more and far broader meaning than just to celebrate women or womanhood. Women back then rose up not only for themselves, but for everyone. So it is important to reflect on the progress made and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women, who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. Because these women have created an over 100 year old movement for women's rights, civil awareness, anti-sexism, anti-discrimination and promoting equal rights.Though the world has made unprecedented advances, no country has achieved gender equality. Women's full and equal participation in all facets of society is a fundamental human right. Yet, around the world, from politics to entertainment to the workplace, women and girls are largely underrepresented. From access to education and rights to land ownership, to political participation and equal remuneration, women still lag behind men even in countries where there have been significant efforts to address gender inequalities.On this episode you will hear:1) "If you think Muslim women are oppressed, you don't know Muslim women!"2) Being a good girl: The Unentitled Mindset3) Realising the power of feminine energy4) What makes a great leader?5) Choose to challenge - it is a privilege!Liked the conversation?
