Domestic abuse affects everyone, and it’s crucial that we come together to end it. Emerge invites you to join us for a panel discussion in partnership with Goodwill Industries of Southern Arizona as part of our Lunchtime Insights series. During this event, we’ll engage in thought-provoking conversations with men who are at the forefront of reshaping masculinity and addressing violence in our communities.

Moderated by Anna Harper, Emerge’s Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, this event will explore intergenerational approaches to engaging men and boys, highlighting the importance of Black and Indigenous men of color (BIPOC) leadership, and will include personal reflections from the panelists on their transformative work. 

Our panel will feature leaders from Emerge’s Men’s Engagement Team and Goodwill’s Youth Re-Engagement Centers. Following the discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with the panelists.

Isigqibo seNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-Arizona siya kubenzakalisa abasindileyo kuxhatshazo

At Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse (Emerge), we believe that safety is the foundation for a community free from abuse. Our value of safety and love for our community calls us to condemn this week’s Arizona Supreme Court decision, which will jeopardize the wellbeing of domestic violence (DV) survivors and millions more across Arizona.

Ngo-2022, isigqibo seNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-United States sokuchitha u-Roe v. Wade savula umnyango wokuba amazwe awise imithetho yawo kwaye ngelishwa, iziphumo zichazwe kwangaphambili. NgoAprili 9, 2024, iNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-Arizona yawisa isigwebo esixhasa ukumiselwa kokuvalwa umlomo kokuqhomfa. Umthetho we-1864 ngumthetho ophantse wavala wokuqhomfa owenza kube lulwaphulo-mthetho abasebenzi bezempilo ababonelela ngeenkonzo zokuqhomfa. Ayinikezeli ngaphandle kombulo okanye udlwengulo.

Kwiiveki nje ezidlulileyo, u-Emerge uye wabhiyozela isigqibo seBhodi yaBaphathi be-Pima County sokubhengeza iNyanga ka-Epreli yoKwazisa ngoHlaselo ngokweSondo. Emva kokusebenza namaxhoba e-DV ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-45, siyayiqonda indlela kaninzi ngayo uhlaselo ngokwesondo kunye nokunyanzeliswa kokuzala zisetyenziswa njengendlela yokuqinisekisa amandla kunye nolawulo kubudlelwane obuxhaphazayo. Lo mthetho, owandulela ubuzwe base-Arizona, uya kunyanzela amaxhoba obundlobongela obuphathelele kwezesondo ukuba baphathe ukukhulelwa okungafunwayo-ubahluthe amandla phezu kwemizimba yabo. Imithetho ethoba isidima efana nale iyingozi kakhulu ngokuyinxenye kuba inokuba zizixhobo ezivunywe ngurhulumente kubantu abasebenzisa impatho gadalala ukwenza ingozi.

Ukhathalelo lokuqhomfa lukhathalelo lwempilo nje. Ukulivala kukumisela umda kwilungelo lomntu elisisiseko. Njengazo zonke iintlobo zengcinezelo yenkqubo, lo mthetho uya kubonisa ingozi enkulu kubantu abasele bengabona basesichengeni. Izinga lokubhubha koomama ababhinqileyo abaMnyama kule dolophu phantse amatyeli amathathu eyabafazi abamhlophe. Ngaphezu koko, abafazi abamnyama bafumana ukunyanzeliswa ngokwesondo kwi ireyithi kabini yabafazi abamhlophe. Lo mahluko uya kwanda kuphela xa urhulumente evunyelwe ukuba anyanzelise ukukhulelwa.

Ezi zigqibo zeNkundla ePhakamileyo azibonakalisi amazwi okanye iimfuno zoluntu lwethu. Ukusukela ngo-2022, kuye kwakho umzamo wokufumana isilungiso kumgaqo-siseko wase-Arizona kuvoto. Ukuba ipasisiwe, iya kusichitha isigqibo seNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-Arizona kwaye iseke ilungelo elisisiseko lokuqhomfa e-Arizona. Ngazo naziphi na iindlela abakhetha ukwenjenjalo, sinethemba lokuba uluntu lwethu luya kukhetha ukuma kunye nabasindileyo kwaye lusebenzise ilizwi lethu elihlangeneyo ukukhusela amalungelo asisiseko.

Ukuthethelela ukhuseleko kunye nentlalo-ntle yabo bonke abasindileyo kuxhatshazo kwiNqila yasePima, kufuneka sibeke amava amalungu oluntu lwethu olunezibonelelo ezinyiniweyo, iimbali zokwenzakala, kunye nonyango olucalucalulo ngaphakathi kukhathalelo lwempilo kunye neenkqubo zomthetho zolwaphulo-mthetho ezibabeka engozini. Asinakuwuqonda umbono wethu woluntu olukhuselekileyo ngaphandle kobulungisa bokuzala. Sikunye, sinokunceda ukubuyisela amandla kunye ne-arhente kumaxhoba afanele onke amathuba okufumana inkululeko kuxhatshazo.

bell hook zathi, “Kodwa uthando ngenene luyinkqubo yokunxibelelana. Imalunga noko sikwenzayo, hayi nje indlela esiziva ngayo. Sisenzi, hayi isibizo.”

Njengoko iNyanga yoKwazisa ngoBundlobongela baseKhaya iqala, ndibonakalisa umbulelo ngothando esithe sakwazi ukulusebenzisa kwabo basinde kubundlobongela basekhaya kunye noluntu lwethu ngexesha lobhubhani. Eli xesha linzima liye laba ngumfundisi wam omkhulu malunga nezenzo zothando. Ndabona uthando lwethu kuluntu lwethu ngokuzibophezela kwethu ekuqinisekiseni ukuba iinkonzo kunye nenkxaso zihlala zikhona kubantu kunye neentsapho ezijongene nobundlobongela basekhaya.

Akusiyo imfihlo ukuba i-Emerge yenziwe ngamalungu alo luntu, abaninzi babo baye bafumana amava abo ngobuhlungu kunye nokukhathazeka, ababonisa yonke imihla kwaye banikele iintliziyo zabo kubasindileyo. Oku kuyinyani ngokungathandabuzekiyo kwiqela labasebenzi abanikezela ngeenkonzo kuwo wonke umbutho-indawo yokuhlala kaxakeka, i-hotline, iinkonzo zeentsapho, iinkonzo ezisekelwe kuluntu, iinkonzo zezindlu, kunye nenkqubo yethu yemfundo yamadoda. Kukwayinyani kuye wonke umntu oxhasa umsebenzi wenkonzo ngqo kwabasindileyo ngeenkonzo zethu zokusingqongileyo, uphuhliso, kunye namaqela olawulo. Kuyinyani ngakumbi kwiindlela sonke esasihlala kuzo, sijongana nazo, kwaye senze konke okusemandleni ethu ukunceda abathathi-nxaxheba kulo bhubhani.

Kubonakala ngathi ngobusuku, siye safakwa kwimeko yokungaqiniseki, ukubhideka, ukothuka, usizi kunye nokuswela isikhokelo. Siye sahluza kulo lonke ulwazi olutyhutyha uluntu lwethu kwaye sayila imigaqo-nkqubo ezama ukubeka phambili impilo nokhuseleko lwabantu abaphantse babe ngama-6000 esibasebenzelayo minyaka le. Ukuqiniseka, asingabo ababoneleli bezempilo abanikwe umsebenzi wokunyamekela abo bagulayo. Nangona kunjalo sikhonza iintsapho kunye nabantu ngabanye abasemngciphekweni yonke imihla yokwenzakala kakhulu kwaye kwezinye iimeko basweleke.

Ngobhubhane, loo mngcipheko wenyuka kuphela. Iinkqubo abasindileyo abaxhomekeke kuzo ngoncedo zivale kufutshane nathi: iinkonzo zenkxaso ezisisiseko, iinkundla, iimpendulo zokuthotyelwa komthetho. Ngenxa yoko, uninzi lwawona malungu asemngciphekweni woluntu lwethu anyamalala emthunzini. Ngelixa uninzi loluntu lwalusekhaya, abantu abaninzi babephila kwiimeko ezingakhuselekanga apho babengenazo izinto abazidingayo ukuze baphile. Ukuvalwa kwe-Lockdown kunciphise amandla okuba abantu abaxhatshazwayo bafumane inkxaso ngefowuni kuba babesekhaya kunye neqabane labo elibaphethe kakubi. Abantwana babengenakufikelela kwinkqubo yesikolo ukuze babe nomntu okhuselekileyo abanokuthetha naye. Iindawo zokuhlala zaseTucson ziye zancipha amandla okuzisa abantu. Sabona iimpembelelo zolu hlobo lokuzihlukanisa, kubandakanywa nesidingo esikhulayo seenkonzo kunye namazinga aphezulu okubulala.

I-Emerge yayishukunyiswa yimpembelelo kwaye izama ukugcina uqhagamshelwano ngokukhuselekileyo nabantu abahlala kubudlelwane obuyingozi. Safudusa indawo yethu yokuhlala yonxunguphalo ngobusuku saya kwindawo engeyiyo eyoluntu. Ukanti, abasebenzi kunye nabathathi-nxaxheba baxele ukuba baye bachanabeka kwi-COVID yonke imihla, nto leyo ekhokelela ekulandeleni umkhondo wonxibelelwano, ukuncipha kwamanqanaba abasebenzi ngezithuba ezininzi ezingenabantu, kunye nabasebenzi bevalelwa bodwa. Phakathi kwale mingeni, into enye yahlala ihleli—uthando lwethu kuluntu lwethu kunye nokuzinikela okunzulu kwabo bafuna ukhuseleko. Uthando sisenzo.

Njengoko ihlabathi lalibonakala liyeka, isizwe noluntu lwaphefumla kubunyani bobundlobongela obunobuhlanga obebusenzeka kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Obu bundlobongela bukhona kuluntu lwethu, kwaye buye babumba amava eqela lethu nabantu esibasebenzelayo. Umbutho wethu uzame ukufumanisa indlela yokujongana nobhubhane ngelixa usenza indawo kwaye uqalise umsebenzi wokuphilisa kumava adibeneyo obundlobongela obucalucalulo. Sisaqhubeka sisebenzela inkululeko kubuhlanga obukhoyo macala onke. Uthando sisenzo.

Intliziyo yombutho yahlala ibetha. Sathatha iifowuni ze-arhente saza sazifaka kwimizi yabantu ukuze umnxeba uqhubeke usebenza. Abasebenzi ngoko nangoko baqalisa ukubamba iiseshoni zenkxaso ukusuka ekhaya ngomnxeba nakwiZoom. Abasebenzi baququzelele amaqela enkxaso kwiZoom. Abasebenzi abaninzi baqhubekile nokuba seofisini kwaye bebehleli ixesha elide kunye nokuqhubeka kobhubhane. Abasebenzi bathathe iishifti ezongezelelweyo, basebenze iiyure ezinde, kwaye bebebambe izikhundla ezininzi. Abantu babengena bephuma. Abanye bagula. Abanye balahlekelwe ngamalungu entsapho asondeleyo. Ngokudibeneyo siqhubekile nokubonisa kwaye sinikezela iintliziyo zethu kolu luntu. Uthando sisenzo.

Ngaxa lithile, lonke iqela elibonelela ngeenkonzo zikaxakeka kuye kwafuneka livalelwe lodwa ngenxa yokuvezwa okunokwenzeka kwe-COVID. Amaqela avela kwezinye iindawo ze-arhente (izikhundla zolawulo, ababhali bezibonelelo, abaqokeleli-mali) babhalisele ukuhambisa ukutya kwiintsapho ezihlala kwindawo yonxunguphalo. Abasebenzi be-arhente beza nephepha lezindlu zangasese xa belifumana lifumaneka eluntwini. Salungiselela amaxesha okuthathwa kwabantu ukuze beze kwiiofisi ezazivaliwe ukuze abantu bathabathe iibhokisi zokutya nezinto zococeko. Uthando sisenzo.

Kunyaka omnye kamva, wonke umntu udiniwe, udiniwe yaye ungcungcutheka. Nangona kunjalo, iintliziyo zethu zibetha kwaye sibonisa ukunika uthando kunye nenkxaso kwabasindileyo abangenayo enye indawo yokubheka. Uthando sisenzo.

Kulo nyaka ngeNyanga yoKwazisa ngoBundlobongela baseKhaya, sikhetha ukuphakamisa nokuhlonipha amabali abasebenzi abaninzi base-Emerge abancede lo mbutho ukuba uhlale usebenza ukuze abasindileyo babe nendawo apho inkxaso inokwenzeka khona. Siyabahlonipha, amabali abo entlungu ngexesha lokugula kunye nokulahlekelwa, ukwesaba kwabo oko kwakuza kuza kwindawo yethu-kwaye sivakalisa umbulelo wethu ongapheliyo ngeentliziyo zabo ezintle.

Masizikhumbuze kulo nyaka, kule nyanga, ukuba uthando sisenzo. Yonke imihla yonyaka, uthando sisenzo.

UQeqesho lweNkqubo yokuLingwa kwamaGqwetha asemthethweni aneLayisensi

I-Emerge inebhongo ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwiNkqubo yokuLinga iLayisenisi yamaGqwetha eLayisenisi kunye neYunivesithi yase-Arizona yesikolo somthetho se-Innovation for Justice Programme. Le nkqubo yeyokuqala kolo hlobo kwisizwe kwaye iya kujongana nesidingo esibalulekileyo sabantu abafumana ukuphathwa gadalala ekhaya: ukufikelela kwiingcebiso zomthetho ezinolwazi kunye noncedo. Ababini bamagqwetha e-Emerge bawugqibile izifundo kunye noqeqesho kunye namagqwetha asebenzayo kwaye ngoku baqinisekisiwe njengamaGqwetha asemthethweni aneLayisensi. 

Iyilwe ngentsebenziswano kunye neNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-Arizona, inkqubo iya kuvavanya inqanaba elitsha lobuchwephesha bezomthetho: iGqwetha lezomthetho elineLayisenisi (LLA). Ii-LLA ziyakwazi ukubonelela ngeengcebiso zomthetho ezilinganiselweyo kumaxhoba obundlobongela basekhaya (DV) kwinani elilinganiselweyo lemimandla yobulungisa boluntu njengemiyalelo yokhuseleko, uqhawulo-mtshato kunye nokugcinwa kwabantwana.  

Phambi kwenkqubo yokulinga, ngamagqwetha anelayisensi kuphela aye akwazi ukunika iingcebiso zomthetho kumaxhoba e-DV. Ngenxa yokuba uluntu lwethu, njengabanye kwilizwe liphela, lunqongophele kakhulu iinkonzo zomthetho ezifikelelekayo xa kuthelekiswa nesidingo, uninzi lwabasindileyo be-DV abanezibonelelo ezinqongopheleyo kuye kwafuneka bajonge iinkqubo zomthetho zoluntu bodwa. Ngaphezu koko, uninzi lwamagqwetha anikwe ilayisenisi akaqeqeshwanga ekuboneleleni ngokhathalelo olunolwazi ngomothuko kwaye asenokungabi nokuqonda nzulu malunga neenkxalabo zokhuseleko lokwenyani kumaxhoba e-DV ngelixa ebandakanyeka kwiinkqubo zomthetho nomntu othe waxhaphaza. 

Inkqubo iya kuxhamlisa amaxhoba e-DV ngokwenza ukuba abameli abaqondayo ii-nuances ze-DV babonelele ngeengcebiso zomthetho kunye nenkxaso kumaxhoba anokuthi ngenye indlela aye enkundleni yedwa kwaye ekuya kufuneka asebenze ngaphakathi kwemithetho emininzi yenkqubo yezomthetho. Ngelixa zingenako ukumela abathengi njengegqwetha, ii-LLA ziyakwazi ukunceda abathathi-nxaxheba ukuba bagqibezele amaphepha kwaye banike inkxaso enkundleni. 

Inkqubo yoBulungisa yeNkqubo yoBulungisa kunye nabavavanyi abavela kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo yase-Arizona kunye ne-Ofisi yoLawulo lweeNkundla iya kulandelela idatha ukuhlalutya indlela indima ye-LLA incede ngayo abathathi-nxaxheba ekusombululeni imiba yobulungisa kwaye iphucule iziphumo zetyala kunye nokukhawuleziswa kwesisombululo setyala. Ukuba iphumelele, inkqubo iya kuqhutywa kulo lonke ilizwe, kunye neNkqubo yokuQala yezoBulungisa ephuhlisa izixhobo zoqeqesho kunye nesakhelo sokuphumeza inkqubo kunye nezinye izinto ezingenzi nzuzo ezisebenzisana nabasindileyo kubundlobongela obusekelwe ngokwesini, ukuhlaselwa ngokwesondo kunye nokuthengiswa kwabantu. 

Sichulumancile ukuba yinxalenye yale nzame zokuyila izinto ezintsha nezigxile kwixhoba lokuchaza ngokutsha amava amaxhoba e-DV ekufuneni ubulungisa.
