Maguindanao is commonly known for being a stronghold to armed clash due to the presence of extremist groups. For many years, these armed hostilities between parties have triggered the displacement and death of the local population, including innocent civilians who are injured. This motivates Norhata Monib, a youth and a Muslim woman, to pursue her passion and dream in broadcasting. She wants to hear the stories of the people behind the numbers and she hopes to do this through S\u2019bang Ka Maguindanao.<\/strong><\/p>\n Norhata currently resides in Barangay Kitango in Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Maguindanao. This is part of the SPMS Box \u2013 a military-coined term where armed conflict often occurs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n She has experienced conflict and violence at a very young age. Norhata remembers how this situation affects the lives of the people in Maguindanao; some experience health issues, children in affected communities are forced to stop going to school, and some schools shift to become evacuation sites. Livelihood has also been affected. But according to Norhata, even though conflict has greatly affected the people and the community, there is so much hope and perseverance in their eyes.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to her, when she attended the Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE) organized by IDEALS, she realized the need for responsible journalists to give relevant information to the communities affected by conflict. Through this, she started realizing that her dreams can become true and S\u2019bang Ka Maguindanao gave her a big opportunity to pursue this passion. She applied and was chosen to be a community patroller under the Mindanaon Youth Voices for Peace (MY Voice for Peace) Project in partnership with GCERF.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDati hanggang pangarap lang, nang dahil sa SKM, mas na-express ko pa ang sarili ko, mas nalaman ko kung ano \u2018yung mga kwento sa aming komunidad sa pamamagitan ng pagiging reporter\u201d [This used to be just a dream but it became a reality thanks to SKM. I was able to learn about my community and share stories as a reporter.]<\/strong><\/p>\n Conflict affected areas need humanitarian assistance especially because people experienced repeated displacement. Aside from access to information, it is paramount that these communities be heard. According to Norhata, hearing stories from people makes her feel passionate to work more for the community. She realized the essence of bridging the gap between the citizens and the duty bearers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBawat reports ko, kapag ikaw mismo yung nakaka-interview sa kanila, ang dami palang nahihirapan na kinakailngan talagang malaman ng nasa gobyerno, sa pagiging patroller ko, pinapamulat sa akin, bilang isang kabataan, na ganito pala ang nangyayari sa aking komunidad\u201d [I learned so many problems that the government should know when I conducted my interviews. As a community patroller and member of the youth sector, this experience showed me what really happens in my community.]\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Norhata\u2019s journey in achieving her dreams is not easy. Engaging with people is a challenge to her because of how she dresses. As a Niqabi and Muslim woman, it is very tough to engage and be outspoken, but Norhata\u2019s motivation to help her community trumps these fears.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI also experienced discrimination, some people said that I belong to an extremist group because I wear half Niqab (chadur) and abaya, but I ignored those sayings and judgments, and continue to help my community towards sustainable peace\u201d she shared.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cS\u2019bang Ka Maguindanao changed me by giving me an avenue to speak and narrate the stories of people in my community, SKM has given me the power to create change and power to motivate other youth,\u201d Norhata added.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RIGHTS IN CRISIS AND EMERGENCIES Maguindanao is commonly known for being a stronghold to armed clash due to the presence of extremist groups.
