2Workers in Guyana say no to violence against women: Clerical and Commercial workers' union mark 2014 UN international day of the elimination of violence against women.Manao tsia amin'ny herisetra atao amin'ny vehivavy ireo mpiasa any Goiana : manamarika ny andro iraisam-pirenena 2014 nataon'ny Firenena Mikambana ho fanafoanana ny herisetra mianjady amin'ny vehivavy ny fivondronan'ny mpiasa birao sy ny mpivarotra.

4An audio recording of a disturbing exchange between a women's activist and Guyana's health minister was making the rounds on social media earlier this week, leaving many netizens scratching their heads over the region's attitude to women and politicians' posture towards the people they have been elected to serve.Nisy rakipeo manelingelina ny saina nifanaovan'ny vehivavy iray mafana fo sy ny Minisitry ny fahasalamana Goiane, niely nanerana ny haino aman-jery sosialy vao tamin'ny herinandro talohan'ny 20 Aprily teo, nampihaotra loha ireo mpisera amin'ny aterineto maro manoloana ny fihetsika asehon'ireo mpitantana ao amin'ny faritra amin'ny vehivavy sy ny fipetrak'ireo mpanao politika manoloana ny vahoaka nifidy azy ireo hanompo azy.
5Dr. Bheri Ramsarran, who belongs to the ruling People's Progressive Party, was verbally abusive to women's rights advocate Sherlina Nageer, who challenged him on his performance, based on her opinion that under the current administration, maternal and child mortality rates have been too high.Nanao teny mahery tamin'ilay mpiaro ny zon'ny vehivavy, Sherlina Nageer, izay nitsikera azy tamin'ny ezaka vitany, ny Dr. Bheri Ramsarran, mpikambana ao amin'ny Antokon'ny Vahoaka Progresista izay antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana. Ambony loatra ny tahan'ny reny sy ny zaza maty amin'izao fitondrana izao raha ny fomba fijerin'ilay mpiaro ny zon'ny vehivavy.
6Ramsarran retorted by telling her to “shut up”, calling her an “idiot” and a “piece of shit”.Nasain'i Ramsarran ‘nanakombona ny vavany' izy, nataony hoe “adala” sy ‘ vongan-tay'.
7After the minister summoned police to remove Nageer, he continued his tirade, telling reporters that he “would slap her ass […] just for the fun” - a threat that did not go down well with many Guyanese, especially in the context of the high level of sexual and domestic violence against women in the country.Avy eo nantsoin'ilay Minisitra ny mpitandro ny filaminana mba hanala an'i Nageer, ary mbola notohizany ny tabatabany tamin'ny filazany tamin'ny mpanao gazety fa ” tiany ho felahana ny fitombenany”[…] vazivazy ihany izany. - fandrahonana izay tsy nasian'ny ankamaroan'ny Goiane sira, indrindra eo amin'ny resaka hamaroan'ny herisetra ara-nofo sy ny herisetra an-tokantrano manjo ny vehivavy.
8Women's groups have recently been very outspoken about the issue, and Nageer is widely recognised as one of the more active and vocal advocates for women's rights.Vao haingana ireo vondronà vehivavy ireo no tena nampiaka-peo momba io resaka io, ary fantatra tsara fa i Nageer no iray amin'ireo mpiaro sy mpisolo vava tena mavitrika ho an'ny zon'ny vehivavy.
9This account of the incident on news website News Source noted that despite the minister's attempts to humiliate her, Nageer stood her ground:Ity kaontin'ny zava-mitranga momba ny vaovao ao amin'ny tranokalan'ny News Source ity dia nilaza fa na dia nanandrana ny nanala baraka an'i Nageer aza ny minisitra dia nijoro izy :
10She continued to challenge him on his record and when she reminded him that taxpayers like her pay his salary, Ramsarran could be heard telling the woman to ‘eff off' as he called her a ‘piece of sh%t' and said she should not be interrupting his private interview on the roadside to two Berbice based reporters.Mbola nanohy nanao fanamby taminy momba ny zava-boitany ihany izy ( Nageer), ary rehefa nampatsiahiviny azy fa ireo mpandoa hetra tahaka azy no mandoa ny karamany dia azo renesina i Ramsarran miteny ilay vehivavy hoe ‘ eff off' tahaka ny niantsoany azy hoe ‘vongan-t%' sy ny nitenenany fa tsy tokony nanapaka ny resaka manokana nifanaovany tamin'ireo mpanao gazety roa avy any Berbice teny amoron-dalana izy.
11Ironically, the Health Minister was outside the Whim Magistrates court to lend support to former President Bharrat Jagdeo who is facing private criminal charges for an alleged racially divisive speech that he made at Babu John back in March.Mampihomehy fa teny ivelan'ny lapan'ny Fitsarana Whim ny minisitry ny Fahasalamana mba hanampy amin'ny fanohanana ny filoha teo aloha Bharrat Jagdeo izay miatrika fanenjehana noho ny heloka bevava manokana tamin'ilay kabary mampisara-bazana sy nampikorontana izay nataony tany Babu John tamin'ny volana Martsa.
12Jagdeo had been accused by his ex-partner and former first lady Varshnie Singh of domestic abuse.Nampangain'ny namany taloha sy ny vadiny taloha, Varshnie Singh, ho nanao herisetra an-tokantrano i Jagdeo.
13He has always denied those allegations.Nolaviny hatrany ireny fiampangana ireny.
14The post also found it interesting that the current government has put forward a woman as its Prime Ministerial candidate:Hitan'ilay lahatsoratra ho nahavariana ihany koa ny nanoloran'ny fitondrana ankehitriny vehivavy iray hirotsaka hofidiana ho Praiminisitra :
15Ms. Elisabeth Harper has been calling for more respect for women and promising that a new PPP government would do more to fight domestic violence and clamp down on abuses against women.Nitaky ny hanajana bebe kokoa ny vehivavy Rtoa Elisabeth Harper ary nampanantena fa hanao ezaka bebe kokoa ny governemanta PPP vaovao hiadiana amin'ny herisetra ao an-tokatrano sy ho hentitra amin'ny fifehezana ny fanararaotana atao amin'ny vehivavy.
16Code Red, which dedicates itself to highlighting feminist issues in the Caribbean, was not convinced about any intention to further the cause of women; the blog was stunned at the position that the minister continued to take, even after the story broke:Tsy mandresy lahatra ny Code Red, izay manolotena mba hampisongadina ny olana momba ny vehivavy any Karaiba ny tanjona rehetra tratrarina hampivoarana ny resaka vehivavy; talanjona tamin'ny fihetsika izay mbola nataon'ny Minisitra ilay bilaogy na dia efa vaky aza ny resaka :
17A statement sent to the press by the Minister of Health subsequently claims that he was provoked to such misogynist violence after Sherlina Nageer interrupted a press interview.Nanao fanambarana an-gazety ny Minisitry ny Fahasalamana izay manamafy fa noho ny nanapahan'i Sherlina Nageer ny resadresaka tamin'ny mpanao gazety no nanery azy ho tonga amin'ny herisetra fankahalana vehivavy tahàka iny.
18Sherlina can be heard demanding state accountability for Guyana's high maternal mortality rate, which is the highest in the English-speaking Caribbean.Azo henoina i Sherlina mitaky ny fandraisan'andraikitry ny fanjakana noho ny haavon'ny tahan'ny fahafatesan'ny reny any Goiana, izay ny avo indrindra amin'ny Karaiba miteny Anglisy.
19The minister, in his altercation with Nageer, insisted that “less women and children dying than under the PNC [People's National Congress, the other major political party in Guyana]”.Nohizingizinin'ny minisitra tamin'ny adihevitra mafana nifanaovany tamin'i Nageer fa ” vitsy kokoa ny zaza amam-behivavy maty noho ny tamin'ny andron'ny PNC [People's National Congress, ilay antoko politika iray matanjaka any Goiana ]”.
20Code Red pulled apart the minister's defense by saying:Notsikerain'ny Code Red ny fiarovan-tenan'ny minisitra :
21The Minister invoked the language of ‘provocation' to justify his act of violence.Teny ‘mandranitra' no napoitran'ny Minisitra mba hanamarinany ny herisetra nataony.
22The invocation of ‘provocation' is frequently used to justify and rationalise men's fatal violence against women and has crept into state and activist responses to violence.Ny fanaovana ” fandranitàna” dia ampiasaina matetika hanamarinana sy hanaporofoana ny herisetra mahery vaika ataon'ny lehilahy amin'ny vehivavy. Tafasisika hatrany amin'ny fitondrana sy ireo valintenin'ny mafana fo momba ny herisetra io fitenenana io.
23The language of provocation, just like the denigrating language and threats the Minister directed at Sherlina, is the language of misogyny.Ny fiteny mahery, tahaka ny teny manala baraka sy teny mampihorohoro navantan'ilay Minisitra tamin'i Sherlina dia teny fankahalana vehivavy.
24Code Red named several instances of women's rights being trampled upon throughout the region, calling on “state managers to denounce acts of violence wherever they occur” and “politicians throughout the region [to realise] that their silence on these offences against its citizens speaks volumes to their commitment to gender justice and the rights of women”:Nolazain'ny Code Red ireo tranga maron'ny fanitsakitsahana zon'ny vehivavy manerana ny faritra, tamin'ny fitakiana ny ” mpitondra fanjakana mba hamaky bantsilana ireo herisetra na aiza na aiza misy izany” sy ” ireo mpanao politika manerana ny faritra [mba hahatsapa] fa mahalaza betsaka amin'ny andraikiny amin'ny firotsahany amin'ny resaka maha-lahy na maha-vavy sy ny zon'ny vehivavy ny fahanginan-dry zareo amin'ireo fandikàn-dalàna ataony amin'ny mponina ireo. ”:
25Women are 51% of the population and our governments must be accountable to us.Vehivavy ny 51%-n'ny mponina ary tsy maintsy manao tatitra amintsika ny governemantatsika.
26We will not be intimidated into silence as silence means death.Tsy tokony hihorohoro amin'ny fahanginana isika satria midika fahafatesana ny fahanginana.
27Literally.Ara-bakiteny.
28The blog started an online petition in solidarity with Sherlina Nageer and all women's human rights defenders.Nanomboka nanao fangatahana amin'ny aterineto ho firaisankina amin'i Sherlina Nageer sy ireo rehetra mpiaro ny zon'ny vehivavy ilay bilaogy.
29Nageer eventually spoke out about the incident, saying that she has “never been cursed in such a manner” and bringing up several instances of the Ministry of Health's failings when it comes to public healthcare:Niteny ny momba ilay zava-niseho ihany i Nageer ny farany, ary nolazainy fa ” tsy mbola voaozona tahaka izany izy” ary nasongadiny ireo tranga maro amin'ny tsy fahombiazan'ny Ministeran'ny Fahasalamana amin'ny resaka fahasalamam-bahoaka :
30I was truly taken aback.Tena talanjona aho.
31All I was trying to do was get some answers to what I believe are legitimate issues, from a public official, in a public setting.Ny nandramako natao dia ny hahazo valinteny tamin'izay heveriko ho resaka ara-drariny avy aminà mpiasam-panjakana iray, ao amin'ny biraom-panjakana.
32This is election time and we the citizens of Guyana are being encouraged to engage with the politicians, to ask questions, and to share our ideas and views with them.Fotoam-pifidianana izao ary amporisihina isika vahoakan'i Goiana mba hiara-miasa amin'ireo mpanao politika, mba hametra-panontaniana, ary hizara ny hevitsika sy ny fijerintsika miaraka amin-dry zareo.
33It seems as if this cannot be done in a civil manner in Guyana and that only those who do not challenge the status quo are acceptable.Toy ny hoe tsy azo atao amim-pahamendrehana izany aty Goiana ary ireo izay manaiky ny zava-misy amin'izao fotoana izao ihany no azo ekena.
34It is truly a sad state of affairs we are in when ex-presidents, current ministers of government, and others holding positions of authority feel free to spew racist rhetoric, encourage hatemongering, curse and abuse the citizens of the nation, instead of calmly, rationally, and respectfully engaging with them.Marina fa ao anatin'ny trangan-javatra mampalahelo isika rehefa mahatsapa ireo filoha teo aloha, sy ireo minisitra ao amin'ny fitondrana amin'izao fotoana izao ary ireo misahana andraikitra ambony fa azony atao ny manao kabary tsara lahatra feno fankahalàna, ny mamporisika ny fankahalana isam-baravarana, ny manozona sy ny manararaotra ireo mpiray tanindrazana, toy izay ny fiaraha-miasa amim-pahatoniana, amim-pandinihina ary amim-panajana miaraka amin-dry zareo. [
35[…] As citizens we deserve better.…] Mendrika ny tsara kokoa isika amin'ny maha-vahoaka antsika.
36The minister's apology, in which he stated that he regretted his actions (which he claimed were provoked), did not go over well.Tsy raharahan'ny olona ny fiarovantenan'ilay Minisitra izay nilazàny fa nanenina tamin'ny fihetsiny izy (izay nohamafisiny fa noranitina izy).
37Protests have been happening both on the ground and online in support of Sherlina Nageer.Niaraka niseho ny hetsi-panoherana tao amin'ny aterineto sy ny teny an-kianja ho fanohanana an'i Sherlina Nageer.
