Abstract

ABSTRACT The article addresses changing gender roles and Muslim female activism in post-2014 Crimea. It focuses on the civil society organisation Crimean Solidarity (Krymskaia solidarnost’), which appeared in 2016 as a result of the Russian authorities’ criminalisation of Hizb ut-Tahrir (The Party of Islamic Liberation). At the time the study was conducted, August–November 2019, 70 male members of Hizb ut-Tahrir were in prison. Crimean Solidarity unites the families of arrested men, their lawyers, human rights defenders, journalists, and other sympathisers. The article is based on interviews with the women of Crimean Solidarity and analysis of their public speeches during the organisation’s monthly meetings. I argue that the 2014 ‘Crimean crisis’ contributed to a change in gender roles in the families of arrested party members and opened up space for women activists of Hizb ut-Tahrir in public spheres previously occupied mainly by men. This study contributes to the ongoing academic discussions on gender roles, women’s agency, and empowerment in conflict zones. It also sheds light on the contemporary situation of the Crimean Tatar people in post-2014 Crimea.

2014年后克里米亚的性别角色和穆斯林妇女行动主义

本文讨论了2014年后克里米亚的性别角色变化和穆斯林女性激进主义。它关注的是公民社会组织克里米亚团结(Krymskaia solidarnost)，该组织于2016年出现，原因是俄罗斯当局将伊斯兰解放党(Hizb - tahrir)定为刑事犯罪。在进行这项研究时，即2019年8月至11月，伊斯兰解放阵线的70名男性成员正在狱中。克里米亚团结工会将被捕男子的家属、他们的律师、人权维护者、记者和其他同情者团结起来。本文基于对克里米亚团结工会女性成员的访谈，以及对她们在该组织每月例会上公开演讲的分析。我认为，2014年的“克里米亚危机”促成了被捕党员家庭中性别角色的变化，并为伊斯兰解放党(Hizb - tahrir)的女性活动家在以前主要由男性占据的公共领域开辟了空间。这项研究对正在进行的关于冲突地区性别角色、妇女代理和赋权的学术讨论作出了贡献。它还揭示了2014年后克里米亚的克里米亚鞑靼人的当代处境。

期刊介绍： Religion, State & Society has a long-established reputation as the leading English-language academic publication focusing on communist and formerly communist countries throughout the world, and the legacy of the encounter between religion and communism. To augment this brief Religion, State & Society has now expanded its coverage to include religious developments in countries which have not experienced communist rule, and to treat wider themes in a more systematic way. The journal encourages a comparative approach where appropriate, with the aim of revealing similarities and differences in the historical and current experience of countries, regions and religions, in stability or in transition.
