1 | Gender Perspective Comes to Puerto Rico's Public School System | Tonga Any Amin'ny Rafi-Panabeazan'ny Sekolim-panjakana Ao Puerto Rico Ny Fomba Fijery Ny Mitovy Lenta |
2 | A recent march in Mayagüez, at the western end of Puerto Rico, in favor of gender equity organized by Paz para la Mujer. | Diabe iray natao vao haingana tao Mayagüez, any amin'ny farany andrefan'i Puerto Rico, ho amin'ny miralenta, nokarakarain'ny Paz para la Mujer. |
3 | Taken from their Facebook page. | Nalaina tao amin'ny pejin'ny Facebook-ndry zareo. |
4 | The announcement on February 25 that Rafael Román Meléndez, Puerto Rico's Secretary of Education, signed Circular Letter No. 19-2014-2015, which makes the inclusion of gender perspective an integral part of the curriculum in public schools, was great news for the country's many people and organizations that champion gender equity. | Ny fanambaràna tamin'ny 25 Febroary fa hoe nanao sonia Taratasy miampita Lah° 19-2014-2015 i Rafael Román Meléndez, sekreteram-panjakana miadidy ny fanabeazana ao Puerto Rico, taratasy izay mampiditra ny hijerena ny fampitoviana lenta ho ampahany feno ao amin'ny fandaharam-pianarana any amin'ny sekolim-panjakana, no vaovao goavana ho an'ireo olona sy fikambanana marobe izay manome lanja ny fitoviana lenta ao amin'ny firenena. |
5 | Below is the complete document: | Ity ambany ity ny dika feno tamin'izany : |
6 | The Coordinadora Paz para la Mujer, a coalition of many different organizations dedicated to eradicating violence against women, also celebrated the news and offered to help the Department of Education in its work implementing the necessary changes: | Ny Coordinadora Paz para la Mujer, vovonana iray misy ireo fikambanana samihafa manokan-tena hiady amin'ny herisetra manjo ny vehivavy, dia nankalaza koa ilay vaovao ary nanolotra fanampiana ho an'ny Sampan-draharahan'ny fanabeazana amin'ny asany fanatentarahana ireo fiovàna ilaina : |
7 | We recognize that the public policy adopted by the Department of Education is the result of a tireless struggle of groups of women and organizations that for decades have believed and defended the human rights of all people. | Ekenay fa ny politikam-panjakana noraisin'ny Departemantan'ny Fanabeazana dia vokatry ny tolona tsy nitandroana hasasarana nataon'ireo vondrom-behivavy sy fikambanana izay nandritry ny ampolo taona maro no nino sy niaro ny zon'olombelona ananan'ny olona rehetra. |
8 | The endorsement is also very helpful in advancing gender-based violence prevention work that is greatly dependent on education from an early age. | Tena manampy ihany koa mba ho fampandrosona ny asa fiarovana amin'ny herisetra ateraky ny tsy fitovian'ny lahy sy ny vavy ilay fanaovana sonia, asa izay miankina be amin'ny fanabeazana dieny mbola kely. |
9 | We are happy to collaborate with the Education Department and we will keep on educating communities and professionals to create awareness on the gender perspective and its benefits. | Faly izahay miaraka miasa amin'ny Departemantan'ny Fanabeazana ary dia hanohy hanabe ny vondrom-piarahamonina sy ireo matianina mba hisian'ny fahatongavan-tsaina momba ny vina ho fitoviana lenta sy ny tombontsoa azo avy aminy. |
10 | The blog Mujeres en Puerto Rico (“Women in Puerto Rico”), recognized the importance of the Department of Education's circular letter, noting that the real work is only about to begin: | Ny bilaogy Mujeres en Puerto Rico (“Vehivavy ao Puerto Rico”), dia mahatsapa ny lanjan'ilay taratasy miampita avy amin'ny Departemantan'ny Fanabeazana, nomarihany fa vao manomboka ny tena asa : |
11 | Even though the [circular] letter isn't an end in itself (the most important phase, implementation, is only now beginning, after all), it is no less certain that this step is a tremendous instrument in favor of human rights in Puerto Rico. | Na dia tsy ny tanjona farany aza iny taratasy [miampita] iny (sady vao miandoha mihitsy ny tena dingana manana lanja, dia ny fampiharana azy), tsy dia azo antoka loatra hoe ho fitaovana mahazendana hanome vàhana ny zon'olombelona ao Puerto Rico ity dingana ity. Tsy azo mora foana akory io fandresena hisian'ny fitoviana zo eo amin'ny lahy sy vavy io. |
12 | This victory for gender equity rights was not easily won. Conservative religious groups lobbied intensely against the inclusion of the gender perspective in the curriculum public schools. | Ireo vondrona ara-pinoana fatra-mpandàla ny nentin-drazana dia manao tsindry mafy hanoherana ny fampidirana io fijery mampitovy lenta io tsy ho ao anatin'ny fandaharam-panabeazana any amin'ny sekolim-panjakana. |
13 | Their stance against the Department of Education's plans was based in part on fears that the change would somehow infringe on people's right to educate their own children according to particular moral or spiritual beliefs. | Ny fijoroan-dry zareo manohitra ny drafitry ny Departemantan'ny Fanabeazana dia nifototra amin'ny ampahany tamin'ny tahotra hoe ilay fiovàna dia mety hanohintohina ny zon'ny olona amin'ny fampianarany ny zanaka naterany hifanaraka amin'ny finoana ara-panahy sy maoraly manokana. |
14 | Supporters of the reforms say these worries are baseless. | Lazain'ireo mpanohana ny fanavaozana fa tsy mitombina ireny ahiahy ireny. |
15 | Gender perspective in education, they say, is nothing more than teaching children that everyone should be treated with equality and respect, regardless of their gender. | Ny vina hisian'ny fitoviana lenta any amin'ny fanabeazana, hoy ry zareo, dia tsy zavatra hafa fa fampianarana ny ankizy hoe tokony hitovy ny fitondràna sy ny fanajàna ny tsirairay, tsy ijerena ny maha-lahy na maha-vavy. |
16 | It is not only a human rights issue, according to proponents, but an extremely urgent national concern in a country where so many women and girls are victims of gender-based violence every year. | Tsy ny olan'ny zon'olombelona ihany, hoy ireo mpampiroborobo azy ity, fa filàna maika io ho an'ny firenena iray izay betsaka ny vehivavy sy ny ankizivavy ao aminy no iharan'ny herisetra ateraky ny tsy fitoviana lenta, isan-taona. |
17 | The lack of an education that addresses gender equity has disturbing implications. | Nisy fiantrakany nampiahiahy ny tsy fahampian'ny fanabeazana miresaka ny hisian'ny fitoviana lenta. |
18 | Human rights activist Amárilis Pagán writes on her blog about the “blame-the-victim” mentality that permeates Puerto Rico's mainstream media, saying it's a direct result of the absence of the gender perspective in most people's education: | Amárilis Pagán, mpiaro zon'olombelona, dia manoratra ao amin'ny bilaoginy momba ny toetsaina hoe “tsinio-ny-voany” izay manenika ireo media mahazatra ao Puerto Rico, tamin'ny filazàny hoe vokatra mivantana avy amin'ny tsy fisian'ny fijery hisian'ny fitoviana lenta tany anatin'ny fanabeazana ny ankamaroan'ny olona io : |
19 | The demonization of women and of our bodies has grave consequences. | Nisy fiantraikany ratsy ny fampitoviana ny vehivavy sy ny tenantsika amin'ny devoly. |
20 | It implies, firstly, our placement in a situation of moral inferiority that justifies the violence we receive. | Voalohany indrindra dia midika fametrahana antsika ho aminà toerana ambany eo amin'ny ara-maoraly, izay manamarina ny herisetra manjo antsika. |
21 | That is where criticisms against victims of gender-based violence and the justification of their aggressors come from. | Avy any no niavian'ny kiana manohitra ireo niharan'ny herisetra natosiky ny tsy fitovian'ny lahy sy ny vavy ary ny fanamarinana ireo nanao ilay herisetra taminy. |
22 | We are violated because we provoke, we are killed because we disobey, and we are discriminated against because we don't conform to certain conduct expected of us. | Niharan'ny herisetra noho ny fihantsiana avy amintsika ihany isika, maty isika satria tsy nankatò, ary niharan'ny fanavakavahana satria tsy manaraka ny fitondrantena sasantsasany andrasana amintsika (Fanamarihan'ny mpandika: vehivavy ilay manoratra eo). |
23 | A prominent example of such unequal treatment occurred earlier this year when female singer Ivania Zayas was run over and killed by a car in the early hours of the morning. | Tany ampiandohan'ity taona ity no nitranga ny ohatra iray diso fantatra momba ny tsy fitoviana amin'ny fomba fitondra vehivavy, rehefa injay i Zayas, vehivavy mpihira, maty nisy nanitsaka tamin'ny fiara tamin'ny andro vao mangiran-dratsy. |
24 | When a police lieutenant assigned to her case was interviewed on television, he said, “One of the things we have to investigate is just what was a lady doing crossing that street at that hour on her way home.” | Rehefa nampiresahana tao amin'ny fahitalavitra ilay lietnà nampiandraiketina ny raharaha momba azy dia nilaza hoe: “Ny iray amin'ireo zavatra izay tsy maintsy hohadihadianay fotsiny dia ny hoe inona no ataon'ny vehivavy iray hiampita arabe amin'ny ora tahàka izany eny an-dàlana hody any an-tranony.” |
25 | On that occasion, poet and blogger Guillermo Rebollo-Gil wrote a strong critique of the lieutenant's choice of words: | Momba izay indrindra, ilay poeta sady bilaogera, Guillermo Rebollo-Gil, dia nanoratra kiana mivaivay momba ny teny nofidian'ilay lietnà : |
26 | Honestly, the lieutenant's words at the press conference imply that the Puerto Rican Police have a particular taste for witch hunts-for wasting their limited resources because of their prejudices on determining what the appropriate habits should be for “good women.” | Amim-pahatsorana, ireo tenin'ilay lietnà tao amin'ilay resaka ho an'ny mpanao gazety dia midika fa ny polisy ao Puerto Rico dia manana fanao azy manokana amin'ny fihazàna mpamosavy/fikarohana ny mpanao ratsy-amin'ny fandaniany ny fitaovana voafetra ananany noho ireo fitsaràna an-tendrony amin'ny famaritana izay fahazàrana sahaza ho an'ireo “vehivavy mendrika”. |
27 | And apparently, according to the lieutenant, good women do not die run over by cars at one in the morning, because good women are in their homes at that hour, or at least, suitably accompanied. | Ary raha ny fahitàna azy, araka ny hevitr'ilay lietnà, ny vehivavy mendrika dia tsy maty voahitsaky ny fiara izany amn'ny iray ora maraina, satria amin'izany ora izany dia ny any an-tranony ny vehivavy mendrika, na farafaharatsiny, misy mpanaraka tsara. |
28 | Hopefully, with the new gender perspective policy now in place in Puerto Rico's public school system, comments like this, and the thinking behind them that cause so much damage, will someday be a thing of the past, along with gender-based violence. | Enga anie, miaraka amin'ity politika hisian'ny fitoviana lenta tafapetraka any amin'ny rafitry ny sekolim-bahoaka ao Puerto Rico ankehitriny ity, mba ho anganongano sisa ny fanehoankevitra tahàka io, ary ny fisainana fonosiny izay niteraka fahavoazana betsaka noho ny herisetra nateraky ny tsy fitoviana lenta eo amin'ny lahy sy vavy. |
