"They Think We Have No Ears" - Muslim Women Immigrants' Experiences in Germany.

"ONI MISLE DA NEMAMO UŠI" - ISKUSTVA MUSLIMANSKIH IMIGRANTICA U NJEMAČKOJ. (Croatian)

The continuous debate in the West about women wearing a hijab in the public sphere excludes the women themselves and does not enable a fair discussion of the topic. This study aims to benefit Muslim women by bringing their experiences to the forefront and providing them with an opportunity to voice their distress without concern. The study examines the experiences of Muslim women immigrants in three cities in Germany. These women experienced exclusion and felt marginalized, and believed they were unjustly treated in the public sphere, which purports to be liberal and enabling. Nevertheless, these women preserved their Muslim-Arab identity. The study recommends, among other suggestions, to display the Muslim women immigrants' culture, showing where they live and establishing shared educational settings for German and Muslim girls and women.

Kontinuirana debata na Zapadu o ženama koje nose hidžab u javnoj sferi isključuje same žene i ne omogućuje poštenu raspravu o toj temi. Ova studija ima za cilj uključiti muslimanke i pružiti im priliku da izraze svoje mišljenje. Studija ispituje iskustva muslimanskih imigrantica u tri grada u Njemačkoj. Te su žene doživjele isključenost i osjećale se marginalizirano i smatraju da su bile nepravedno tretirane u javnoj sferi, koja se smatra liberalnom i otvorenom. Ipak, ove su žene sačuvale svoj muslimansko-arapski identitet. Studija preporučuje, među ostalim prijedlozima, upoznavanje šire zajednice s kulturom i načinom života muslimanskih imigrantica i uspostavljanje zajedničkih obrazovnih okruženja za njemačke i muslimanske djevojke i žene.
