INova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace ibambe umcimbi wabo waminyaka yonke we-White Peace Poppy onesihloko esithi “Halifax Remembers Peace: Kjipuktuk 2021”. U-Joan waqala ngokuvuma umhlaba futhi wakhuluma mayelana nokuxhumana kokukhumbula zonke izisulu zempi ezingxoxweni nelungu le-Veterans for Peace elivela eScotland kuwebhu yakamuva. U-Rana ukhulume ngabesifazane base-Afghan futhi wababekela umqhele wezimbali. Eminye imiqhele emibili - eyodwa yazo zonke izisulu ze-PTSD, ababaleki kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo kanti enye eyeNtwana Yekusasa. U-Annie Verrall uthwebule lo mcimbi futhi uzohlanganisa le filimu neseshini yethu yakamuva neyomuntu siqu yokuthunga e-Local Council House of Women.
Sabuthana ePaki Lokuthula Nobungane futhi salenga ibhanela ekukhanyeni kwelanga phakathi kwesihlahla nesigxobo sesibani, budebuduze nesiteji esasinesithombe sangaphambili, esimbozwe ngamatshe awolintshi amancane apendwe ngopende. Le ndawo yayiyindawo enamandla ye-NSVOW yokuletha isibhengezo futhi ime ndawonye ukuze kube nokwabelana komphakathi kokuqala kwalo msebenzi - umsebenzi wabesifazane abaningi abavela e-Nova Scotia nase-Beyond. Yindawo enamandla ngoba uguquko lwenzekile lapha, ngoba ukukhishwa kwekoloni kubonakala kancane futhi ngenxa yawo wonke lawo matshe amawolintshi amancane alokhu esibiza.
Silethe izindaba zezinye izingane, zemimoya yazo. Amagama ezingane zaseYemeni ezingama-38 ahlotshiswe ngesi-Arabhu nesiNgisi. Ngo-Agasti 2018, e-Yemen, izingane ezingu-38 nothisha babulawa futhi abaningi balimala ohambweni lwesikole. Ibhomu elishaye ibhasi labo lesikole lalinalo negama - inguqulo ye-laser yebhomu i-Mk-82 kwakuyi-Lockheed Martin Bomb.
Amagama ezingane aphakama ngaphezu kwezindiza zempi, emaphikweni ejuba elingumama kanye nendodakazi yakhe, bobabili bezungeza phezu kwembubhiso eqhubeka nokunetha amabhomu, izimpi kanye nezempi emkhayeni wesintu. Eduze kwamajuba kunezikwele ezenziwe ngezandla ngesitayela esaziwa 'njengokulungisa okubonakalayo' ezibamba isibhengezo ndawonye, senze ukulahlekelwa nethemba.
Isibhengezo besinesihloko esithi “Knot Bombs- Piecing Peace Together” futhi saqala, njengoba kuvame ukwenza umsebenzi waphansi, phezu kwetiye nezingxoxo, ngaphandle kokuthi kwenzeke 'endaweni ebonakalayo'. UFatima, uSandy, uBrenda, uJoan kanye nami sacabanga ngemindeni kanye nemiphumela yempi - ukuhlukumezeka kanye ne-PTSD yemindeni elahlekelwe abathandekayo - ngokuvamile ezinhlangothini zombili zezikhali, kodwa ingakhunjulwe ngokulinganayo futhi ibalwe. Sikhulume ngesikhumbuzo, ukuthi ukuqhubekela phambili akunakwenzeka kanjani, nokuthi ukukhohlakala kuba kanjani ungqimba lokulahlekelwa nosizi okungeke kwabiwe. Ukukhathazeka kwethu ngokusheshisa okungapheli kokusetshenziswa kwezikhali zempi, okuhlanganisa nezinkontileka zezikhali eziya e-Saudi Arabia kanye namahhovisi e-Lockheed Martin e-Dartmouth njalo kuza esibophezelweni sethu sokuthatha isinyathelo nokufaka uhlangothi lomuntu ukuthi ukuhweba ngezikhali kubukeka kanjani. Ziyini izindleko zangempela zokusebenzisa imali kwezempi?
Ake ngidlulise amazwi ezingane ezimbili ezazisemakethe ngalolo suku ngo-August.
Umfana oneminyaka engu-16 ubudala osebenza endaweni yokugunda engaphesheya komgwaqo ebhasini utshele i-Human Rights Watch ngocingo esembhedeni wakhe wasesibhedlela ukuthi ukuqhuma “kwakunjengokulokoza kwesibani, kulandelwa uthuli nobumnyama.” Ulimale kulokhu kuhlaselwa yizicucu zensimbi emhlane wakhe ongezansi wathi akakwazi ukunyakaza ngaphandle kokusizwa noma ukuya endlini yokugezela.
Umfana oneminyaka engu-13 obesebhasini naye olaliswe esibhedlela uthe ubenenxeba elibuhlungu emlenzeni futhi unethemba lokuthi umlenze wakhe ngeke unqunywe. Abaningi babangane bakhe babulawa.
Siqale isibhengezo ngokuxhumana no-Aisha Jumaan we-Yemeni Relief and Reconstruction Foundation kanye nesishoshovu sokuthula u-extraordinaire Kathy Kelly futhi sakhuthazwa ukuthi siqhubeke nomsebenzi. U-Aisha ubelokhu exhumana nemindeni eseYemen.
Izikwele zasemngceleni ezingama-48+, izimpaphe ezinkulu ezingama-39 kanye nezimpaphe ezincane ezingaphezu kuka-30 zithungwe amalungu omphakathi avela emaqenjini amaningi okuhlanganisa iNova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace, iHalifax Raging Grannies, Iqembu Lokufunda Labesifazane BamaSulumane, Inhlangano Yabesifazane Abafudukayo kanye Nemigrant yaseHalifax, Iqembu lokufunda lombiko we-MMIWG, Izikhumulo Eziyinkulungwane Zen Sangha, izindela zamaBuddha kanye namanye amaqembu enkolo, amalungu eBhodi Likazwelonke Lezwi Labesifazane Lokuthula kanye nabangane ukusuka olwandle kuya kolwandle kuya olwandle. Ngamunye walaba besifazane ngokulinganayo ungumhlanganyeli weciko futhi u-Brenda Holoboff wayengumgcini wesibhengezo kanye nokhiye ozinikele ekuqedeni!
Abesifazane ababambe iqhaza bahlangana ndawonye ku-zoom futhi izingxoxo zethu zazihlanganisa usizi kanye nendlela yokuletha lesi sibhengezo ezingxoxweni ukuze sigcizelele isidingo sethu soshintsho endleleni esibhekana ngayo nokungqubuzana. UMargaret uphakamise ukuthi sithumele isibhengezo e-Yemen ngemva kokwabelana ngaso endaweni. U-Maria Jose no-Joan bashilo ngokubonisa isibhengezo enyuvesi noma emtatsheni wezincwadi. Ngethemba ukuthi singahlangana nabesifazane eMasjid lapha ukuze sikhulume ngalo msebenzi. Mhlawumbe uhambo luzoba ezweni lonke luya emitatsheni yolwazi futhi kwabelwane ngezikhala zomphakathi lapho izingxoxo zizobekela inselele umbono 'wokuvikela.' Uma kukhona ozimisele ukusiza mayelana nalokhu ngicela ungazise.
Kufanele sakhe izinhlelo ezingcono zokunakekelana. Siyadingana futhi lesi sibhengezo sihlangane naphezu kwezithiyo zesikhathi nendawo.
Zonke izimpaphe nezikwele zazithungwa futhi zabelwane ngeposi noma zehliswa futhi zathathwa emabhokisini eposi ngesikhathi sokuphakama kwalolu bhubhane. Sonke sasibhekene nokuhlukaniswa kanye nezinkathazo zethu futhi silahlekelwe umndeni nabangane. U-Joan noBrenda bebeyizinsika ngemuva komsebenzi - ukwakha ukusekelwa, ukuthunga njengoba izingcezu zingena futhi banikeze ubuchwepheshe babo bokudala. Ukubonga kuya kubo bonke ababambiqhaza - abesifazane abavela e-BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario Yukon, USA, Newfoundland, Maritimes, naseGuatemala. Omama bathunga namadodakazi, abangani bakudala bathi yebo kulo msebenzi futhi abangani okungenzeka ukuthi abazange bathunge ngokuqondile esibhengezoni bahlangane ukuze kuqedwe.
Kepha ngifuna ukusho ikakhulukazi ukuthi lapho mina noFatima sikhuluma nge-Arabic calligraphy yezimpaphe, waphendula ngokushesha wathi ngeke kube yinkinga nhlobo futhi phakathi nezinsuku ezi-3 amagama ezimpilo ezingama-38 ayesebhokisini lami leposi selilungele ukudluliswa. indwangu. Iqembu lokufunda labesifazane abangamaSulumane labelane ngezindaba zalo ekusondezeni imihlangano yethu ehleliwe futhi lokho kuxhumana kwenhliziyo kuyaqhubeka nokuba ingcebo efihliwe yalo msebenzi. Njengezikwele ngokwazo - abesifazane abaningi babesebenzisa indwangu enencazelo ekhethekile - izinsalela zendwangu yezingubo zezingane, izingubo zokubeletha, izingubo zikamama nodadewabo - ngisho nomfaniswano wamantombazane. Konke lokhu kuzungeza amagama - amagama anikezwa izingane ezazigcinwe ezingalweni zomama - u-Ahmed, Mohammad, Ali Hussein, Youseef, Hussein ...
Ukukhumbula bonke abaye bahlupheka futhi ukukhumbuza labo abaphila ngenkemba kufanele kulalele amazwi kaToni Morrison ukuthi “Ubudlova obumelene nobudlova- kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yikuphi okuhle nokubi, okulungile nokungalungile - ngokwako kubi kangangokuthi inkemba yempindiselo iwela ngokukhathala. noma ihlazo.” Ukushona kwalezi zingane kuyihlazo, usizi, ithunzi kithi sonke.
Le phrojekthi yaqala ngoJanuwari 2021. NgoJuni amafulegi ehliswa kanye nekhwelo lokuthi kutholwe zonke izindawo zamathuna aboMdabu ezingaphawuliwe futhi kuvalwe izingane ngendlela efanele kwalandela ukutholakala kwezidumbu zokuqala zezingane ezingu-215 eKamloops. Amalungu eqembu elifunda masonto onke lombiko we-MMIWG athunge izinhliziyo eziningi ngezinyathelo ezithungelwe esembozweni esizobamba isibhengezo uma singaboniswa.
Ake ngikushiye nalomcabango.
Ngikholwa ukuthi kukhona esikwaziyo ngokulungisa. Lesi sikhumbuzo siyikhwelo lokulungisa umonakalo owenziwe futhi noma singaqiniseki ukuthi singawulungisa kanjani umonakalo, senza esingakwenza lapho singakwazi khona. Ukulungisa nokubuyisana kuwumsebenzi wokulungisa.
Muva nje, kube nesifundo esiku-inthanethi esinikezwe okuyisendlalelo sengqungquthela enkulu yengqungquthela yamanyuvesi afunda ubugqila yango-2023, kanti enkulumweni yakhe ekhaliphile, uSir Hilary Beckles uveza ukuthi inkulumo yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nenkulumo yokubuyisela kuyizinhlangothi ezimbili ezifanayo. uhlamvu lwemali. Kokubili kufanele kuphushele isintu 'ezinga eliphezulu kakhulu lokusebenza okuyinkimbinkimbi' njengophethiloli obalulekile woshintsho kanye nokwenzeka kwalolu shintsho oluhlelekile - uguquko olunobuqotho alukwazi ukufezwa ngaphandle kokubuyiselwa.
Uma singakwazi ukulungisa okwedlule ngeke sikwazi ukulungiselela ikusasa.
