ABESIFAZANE baziwa njengenzalabantu, baziwa njengabantu abanozwelo kakhulu – kuyaye kuthiwe uma ungowesifazane unezinseka – bawuhlobo lwabantu abanobubele nobumnene. Bayaye bachazwe ngokuthi ngokwemvelo, badaleke ngendlela yokuthi badinga ukunakekelwa, ukutotoswa nokuvikelwa zikhathi zonke.
Ngokudaleka kwemizimba yabo, bathathwa njengabantu abangenawo amandla alingana nawabesilisa – yingakho kuyaye kuthiwe owesilisa unesibopho sokuvikela owesifazane ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Ngeshwa kuvamile ukuba babe yizisulu zokuhlukunyezwa nodlame olubhekiswe kwabobulili – yingakho nje nangokomthetho bevikelwa kakhulu kunabesilisa.
Indaba yokuhlukunyezwa kwabo yinkinga ekhungethe amazwe amaningi emhlabeni, okubandakanya kuwo neNingizimu Afrika.
Abesilisa yibona ikakhulukazi abahlukumeza abesifazane ngezindlela ezahlukene. Imibiko iveza ukuthi isikhathi esiningi bayaye bahlukunyezwe ngabantu abasondelene nabo, noma abasuke besebudlelwaneni bothando nabo.
IWorld Health Organization (WHO) embikweni wayo wocwaningo wango-2021, yathi ngokwezilinganiso, emhlabeni wonke
jikelele, oyedwa kwabawu-3 (30%) besifazane uke wabhekana nokuhlukunyezwa ngumuntu athandana naye noma angathandani naye.
Nakuba abesifazane bethathwa njengabantu okumele baphathiswe okwezikhali zamaNtungwa, kodwa kuyaqapheleka ukuthi kunohlobo lwabesifazane oluphoxa noma oludicilela phansi isithunzi somuntu wesifazane.
Ukufakazela umbono wokuthi kunabesifazane abangafaniswa namazambane abolisa amanye esakeni, ILANGA lijeqeza emuva, libheka izigameko eziwubufakazi obusobala bokuthi impela zikhona iziphoxi.
Kulezi zigameko ezibalulwa ngezansi, kuyaqapheleka ukuthi kunabesifazane abanesihluku
esimangalisayo emphakathini.
Ezinye zezigameko ezinyantisa igazi ezenziwa yilabo besifazane abadicilela phansi isithunzi sabesifazane, zishiya umuntu ebambe ongezansi, emangazwa wukuthi ngabe
hlobo luni lomuntu wesifazane onesibi-ndi esisabekayo ukuthi angenza okubi ngendlela eshaqisayo komunye.
Ezigamekweni ezaziwayo emphakathini zabesimame aba-ngathathwa ngokuthi baphahleka igama labesifazane ngodaka singabala lezi:
Rosemary Ndlovu (osesithombeni)
Lona ngowesifazane owayeyipho-yisa owashaqisa iNingizimu Afrika yonke ngezenzo zakhe zokuba ngumalugaju.
Kumanje udonsa isigwebo sokudilikelwa yijele ngoxhaxha lwamacala abandakanya ukubulala nokukhwabanisa.
Ngo-2021, wagwetshwa yinkantolo ePalm Ridge, eGoli, udilikajele ngokufa kwabantu abawu-6, okuyizihlobo zakhe noyise wengane yakhe.
Kwatholakala ukuthi wayebabulala ngoba efuna ukutitiliza imali yomshwalense ayebafake kuwona.
Bongekile Magoso
Waba ngundabamlonyeni lona wesifazane waseNewlands, eThekwini ngo-2011. wakha itulo lokubulala umyeni wakhe efuna ukudla amafa njengoba babenanebhizinisi likamasingcwabisane nendoda.
Wakha itulo ehlangene nomlisa ayesehlekisana naye.
Ukuboshwa kwakhe kwaba yisimanga ngoba akekho owayecabanga ukuthi nguyena owayehlele iqhinga lokubulawa kwendoda yakhe njengoba babebukeka bethandana phambi kwamehlo abantu.

Naphezu kokuba ziningi izigameko eziwuphawu lokuba nesihluku kwabanye besifazane, kodwa ILANGA likhethe ukubalula kafushane lezi ezimbalwa.
Mhlawumbe futhi kusemqoka ukubalula ukuthi baningi nabanye besifazane abasagqigqa ezinkantolo ababhekene namacala anzima nashaqisayo.
