Sonja Fatma brass
Sonja Fatma Bläser (* 1964 in Kars ), sometimes just Fatma Bläser , is a German- Kurdish writer who has lived in Germany since she was nine. She is the founder and director of the association "HennaMond - courage, advice and help for people with a migration background eV", which is located in Cologne-Longerich.
Life
Her life story Hennamond - My Life Between Two Worlds (1999), initially published anonymously under the name Fatma B., was published in its seventh edition in 2005. The fiction work, which has received much attention in German and Turkish media, and which tells the story of Bläser's own forced marriage and , at the same time, illuminates the topic of forced marriage and honor killing in an Anatolian village between 1964 and 1973 from his own perspective, was also distributed via licensed editions .
Sonja Bläser comes from a family with a migrant background and addresses the problems of integration and cultural differences.
She is vehemently against the headscarf . On the one hand, teachers should not be allowed to wear them, as it gives schoolgirls the impression that only schoolgirls wearing headscarves are good Muslims. In addition, ultra-conservative parents would refer to the teachers to show their daughters that they too would have to wear a headscarf if the teachers were already doing so. On the other hand, Bläser also calls for a ban on the headscarf for schoolgirls. The headscarf is a symbol of the oppression of women and the daughters of ultra-conservative parents cannot emancipate themselves from wearing it, as children are fundamentally dependent on their parents. However, a ban on wearing them could help them not to submit to the path of oppression.
She also defends the position of men in the headscarf debate , who would be declared by Islamic orthodoxy to be rapists who could not defend themselves against the charms of women and could only be protected from their urges by the headscarf.
Sonja Bläser, who in addition to numerous readings also leads discussions on the topics of her book in schools, was awarded the Ludwig Beck Prize for moral courage as a champion against the oppression of women in Orthodox-Muslim families and societies .
Sonja Fatma Bläser also plays a central role in the documentary My Father Will Kill Me (2005) by Kadriye Acar and Valentin Thurn . This describes her return to her Anatolian hometown, which she once rejected because of her marriage to a German.
