Ukuhlukunyezwa Kwabesifazane Bomdabu

Udlame olubhekiswe kwabesifazane boMdabu lwenziwe lwaba yinto eyejwayelekile kangangokuba sihlala eqinisweni elingashiwongo, elikhohlisayo lokuthi imizimba yethu akuyona eyethu. Ukukhumbula kwami ​​okokuqala leli qiniso mhlampe kuneminyaka yobudala emi-3 noma emi-4 ubudala, ngahambela uHlelo lweStartStart emzaneni obizwa ngokuthi iPisinemo. Ngiyakhumbula ngitshelwa “Ungavumeli muntu ukuthi akuthathe” njengesixwayiso esivela kothisha bami ngisekuhambeni. Ngikhumbula ngesaba ukuthi empeleni kukhona ozozama "ukungithatha" kodwa angiqondanga ukuthi kusho ukuthini lokho. Ngangazi ukuthi kufanele ngibonakale kude nothisha wami nokuthi mina, njengengane eneminyaka emithathu noma emi-3 ubudala ngaqala ngokuzuma ngazi indawo engizungezile. Ngiyabona manje sengikhulile, ukuthi ukuhlukumezeka kwadluliselwa kimi, futhi ngase ngikudlulisele ezinganeni zami. Indodakazi yami endala nendodana bobabili bayakhumbula ukufundiswa yimi “Ungavumeli muntu ukuthi akuthathe” njengoba babehambela kwenye indawo ngaphandle kwami. 

Ngokomlando udlame olubhekiswe kubantu boMdabu base-United States seludale isimo esijwayelekile kubantu besizwe abaningi okwathi lapho ngicelwa ukuthi nginikeze ukuqonda okuphelele kwabesifazane namantombazane angamantombazane alahlekile nabulawa.  bekunzima ukuthola amagama okuzokhulunywa ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu okwabiwe okuhlala kubonakala kungumbuzo. Uma ngithi imizimba yethu akuyona eyethu, Ngikhuluma ngalokhu ngaphakathi komongo womlando. Uhulumeni wase-United States wagunyaza izinhlelo zezinkanyezi futhi wabhekisa kubantu boMdabu baleli zwe egameni "lenqubekela phambili". Noma ngabe kwakuthutha ngenkani abantu boMdabu besuka emazweni abo beya ezindaweni zokubhuka, noma ukweba izingane emakhaya abo ukuze zifakwe ezikoleni okuhlalwa kuzo ezweni lonke, noma ukuvalwa inzalo okuphoqelelwe kwabesifazane bethu Ezinsizakalweni Zezempilo zase-India kusukela ngawo-1960 ngawo wonke ama-80s. Abantu bomdabu baphoqeleke ukuba basinde endabeni yokuphila egcwele udlame futhi ezikhathini eziningi kuba sengathi sikhamuluka singenalutho. Izindaba zethu azibonakali kwabaningi, amazwi ethu ahlala engazwakali.

Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi kunezizwe ezingama-574 zezizwe e-United States futhi ngasinye sihlukile. E-Arizona kuphela kunezizwe ezingama-22 ezihlukile, kufaka phakathi ukufakelwa okuvela kwezinye izizwe ezweni lonke okubiza i-Arizona ikhaya. Ngakho-ke ukuqoqwa kwemininingwane yabesifazane namantombazane abalahlekile nababulewe kube yinselele futhi kucishe kube nzima ukwenza. Silwela ukuthola izinombolo eziyiqiniso zabesifazane namantombazane aboMdabu ababulewe, abalahlekile, noma abathathiwe. Usizi lwale nhlangano luholwa abesifazane Bomdabu, singongoti bethu uqobo.

Kweminye imiphakathi, abesifazane babulawa ngabantu okungebona abomdabu. Emphakathini wami wesizwe amacala angama-90% wabesifazane ababulawa, ayeyimiphumela eqondile yodlame lwasekhaya futhi lokhu kubonakala ohlelweni lwethu lokwahlulela ngokobuhlanga. Cishe u-90% wamacala asezinkantolo alalelwa ezinkantolo zethu zeTribal ngamacala odlame lwasekhaya. Ucwaningo ngalunye lungahluka ngokuya ngendawo, kepha lokhu kubukeka kanjena emphakathini wami. Kubalulekile ukuthi abalingani bomphakathi kanye nababambisene nabo baqonde Abesifazane Namantombazane Abalahlekile Nababulewe kungumphumela oqondile wobudlova obenziwa kwabesifazane kanye namantombazane aboMdabu. Izimpande zalolu dlame zinamathele kakhulu ezinhlelweni zenkolelo zakudala ezifundisa izifundo ezicashile ngokubaluleka kwemizimba yethu - izifundo ezinikeza imvume yokuthi imizimba yethu ithathwe nganoma iyiphi imali nganoma yisiphi isizathu. 

Kukaningi ngithola ukuthi ngikhungathekile ngokungabi bikho kwenkulumo yokuthi asikhulumi kanjani ngezindlela zokunqanda udlame lwasekhaya kodwa kunalokho sikhuluma ngokuthi singalulama kanjani futhi sithole abesifazane namantombazane aboMdabu abalahlekile nababulawa.  Iqiniso ukuthi kunezinhlelo ezimbili zobulungiswa. Eyodwa evumela owesilisa osolwa ngokudlwengula, ukuhlukumeza ngokocansi, nokuhlukumeza ngokocansi, kufaka phakathi ukuqabula okungavunyelwanga nokubamba okungenani abesifazane abangama-26 kusukela ngawo-1970 ukuba abe nguMongameli wase-45 wase-United States. Lolu hlelo lufana nalolo oluzomisa izimiso zokuhlonipha abesilisa abadlwengule abesifazane ababenze izigqila. Futhi-ke kukhona uhlelo lobulungiswa kithi; lapho udlame olubhekiswe emizimbeni yethu nokuthathwa kwemizimba yethu kusanda kukhanya. Ngiyabonga, ngiyajabula.
