3The struggle for equal rights when it comes to gender is an ongoing one, in some parts of the world perhaps more than others.Tantara mitohy hatrany ny ady ho amin'ny fitovian-jo rehefa mikasika ny lahy sy ny vavy no resaka, mety hoe mafimafy kokoa any an-kafa miohatra amin'ny ampahany sasany eto amin'izao tontolo izao.
4The Caribbean-focused feminist blog Code Red, which regularly calls out gender-related injustices in the region, is appalled at the abuses West Indian women must bear, suggesting that much of the misogyny appears to be culturally accepted.Vaka tanteraka ilay bilaogy Karibeàna Code Red, miompana amin'ny fiarovana ny fitovian-jon'ny vehivavy amin'ny lehilahy, izay matetika manao antso avo noho ny fisian'ny tsy rariny mifandray amin'ny maha-lahy na maha-vavy ao amin'ilay faritra, manoloana amin'ireo fanararaotana tsy maintsy zakain'ireo vehivavy avy any India Andrefana, milaza fa toa ekena noho ‘ny lafiny kolontsaina ny ankamaroan'ireo fankahalàna vehivavy ireo.
5Much of the blog's focus was on an incident in late July, involving Haitian President Michel Martelly.Ilay zava-nitranga ny faran'ny volana Jolay no tena nifantohan'ilay bilaogy, resaka izay nahatafiditra ny filoha Haitiana Michel Martelly.
6On the campaign trail in Miragoane, a woman in the crowd openly criticised Martelly and his government, asking what they intended to do about the lack of electricity service in her area.Tany amin'ny fanaovana fampielezankevitra tany Miragoane, nitsikera ampahibemaso an'i Martelly sy ny governemantany ny vehivavy iray tao anatin'ireo vahoaka, nanontany hoe inona no eritreretin'izy ireo hatao momba ny tsy fahampian'ny tolotra herinaratra ao amin'ny faritra misy azy.
7The president responded, not by addressing the issue at hand, but rather, by telling the woman to “find a man and go into the bushes” - effectively dismissing her concerns and suggesting that her problems would be solved by having sex.Namaly ny filoha, tsy niresaka ilay olana voalaza anefa, fa kosa, tamin'ny fitenenana ilay vehivavy mba “hitady lehilahy ary hankany anaty akata” - nandraraka an-tany tanteraka ireo olany ary nilaza taminy fa ho voavahan'ny firaisana ara-nofo ireo olan'ilay vehivavy.
8Code Red's assessment of Martelly's remark was far more severe than it being a sexist gaffe:Tena henjana lavitra noho ny maha-hasidoana maneho ny tsy fitovian'ny lahy sy ny vavy azy no fahitan'ny Code Red ny fanamarihan'i Martelly :
9Michel Martelly threatened a woman with sexual violence because she sought to hold him accountable to the people.Nandrahona vehivavy tamin'ny herisetra araka ny maha-vavy azy i Michel Martelly satria nikatsaka ny hitazona azy ho tomponandraikitra manoloana ny vahoaka izy.
10The blog also quoted directly from a report about the incident that accuses Martelly of much worse behaviour - there is, however, no evidence to support these claims, although this Miami Herald report confirms that the president's remarks were recorded and played on Haitian radio.Nitanisa mivantana avy tamin'ny tatitra iray momba ilay zavatra nitranga izay niampanga an'i Martelly ho nanana fitondrantena tena ratsy lavitra ihany koa ilay bilaogy - tsy misy mihitsy porofo manohana ireo fitarainana ireo, na dia nanamarina aza io tatitry ny Miami Herald io fa voarakitra anaty horonam-peo ary nalefa tamin'ny radiô Haitiàna ireo fanamarihan'ny filoha.
11Meanwhile, public outcry over the incident in Miragoane was swift - people were protesting, both on the ground and in the blogosphere - and several female members of Martelly's government resigned.Nandritra izany fotoana izany, haingana ny fanehoan'ny vahoaka ny hatezerany tamin'ilay zavatra nitranga tany Miragoane - nanao hetsi-panoherana ireo vahoaka, na teny an-kianja na tany amin'ny sehatry ny bilaogy - ary nametra-pialàna ireo vehivavy maro mpikambana tao amin'ny governemantan'i Martelly.
12Women march in #Haiti capital of Port-au-Prince to protest President #Martelly‘s #Miragoâne comments http://t.co/DgZCksYfpXNanao diabe tany Port-au-Prince renivohitry #Haiti ireo vehivavy mba hanoherana ilay fanehoan-kevitry ny Filoha #Martelly tany #Miragoâne
13- Michael Deibert (@michaelcdeibert) August 4, 2015 There was even an online petition against Martelly's sexist comments, and on Twitter, netizens discussed Martelly's misogynistic response to the woman's criticism:Tao amin'ny Twitter aza nisy fanangonan-tsonia tamin'ny Aterineto mihitsy nanohitra ilay fanehoankevitr'i Martelly manambany ny vehivavy ary, niady hevitra momba ilay valin-kafatra mankahala vehivavy nataon'i Martelly tamin'ny tsikeran'ilay vehivavy ireo mpisera amin'ny Aterineto:
14Since the incident in #Miragoâne I have a duty to not listen to #martelly, that fool who does not respect what women have to say
15One Twitter user thought Martelly's display of sexism was simply an extension of the allegedly corrupt modus operandi of his government:Hatramin'ny nisian'ilay tranga tao #Miragoâne, ataoko adidy mihitsy ny tsy mihaino izay tian'ilay #martelly, filoha vendrana, izay tsy manaja ireo vehivavy, ho tenenina
16#Haiti #Martelly is not only corrupt, but he's a sexist pig as well. #ThankUHillary! http://t.co/4cXophjpEVNisy iray mpampiasa Twitter nieritreritra fa fanampin'ilay filazàna ny fomba fiasa feno kolikolin'ny governemantany tsotra izao ilay fanehoan'i Martelly ny fanaovana tsinontsinona vehivavy :
17- James S. Henry (@submergingmkt) August 6, 2015#Haiti #Martelly, tsy hoe feno kolikoly fotsiny, fa kisoa mpanao tsinontsinona vehivavy ihany koa.
18Others were not surprised at his reaction:
19#martelly, pushed & pushed the limit to see how far he can get & he got far… He was never able to stand others who stood up to him!
20- Chantal M.#ThankUHillary!
21Elie (@chantalmelie) August 6, 2015Tsy gaga tamin'io zavatra nolazainy io ireo hafa:
22I've come to the conclusion that he doesn't care anymore and it shows through his behavior #Martelly #OnceUponATimenanosika ary nanosika hatrany ny fetrany i #martelly, mba hahitàny hoe hatraiza no afaka ataony & ary nahita ny farany izy izao… Tsy vitany velively ny tsy hihetsika manoloana ireo manohitra azy!
23- kandida Gio (@GioJules) July 30, 2015Tonga tamin'ny tsoakevitra aho hoe tsy misy hiraharahàny izany intsony ary asehony amin'ny fihetsiny mihitsy izany #Martelly #OnceUponATime(IndrayAndroHono)
24To some, however, that was no excuse for the musician-turned-politician who once went by the name Sweet Micky:Ho an'ireo sasany, anefa, tsy misy mihitsy fialantsiny azo aroson'ilay mpiangaly mozika lasa mpanao politika izay nantsoina fahiny hoe Sweet Micky:
25fuck yeah Sweet Micky can talk shit abt whatever the fuck. but President Michel Martelly better get his shit settled as MY PRESIDENT. - Kitty Pride (@birdie_leii) July 30, 2015Kiii Eny e afaka miresaka zavatra tsy misy dikany momba izao diky rehetra izao i Sweet Micky. fa tsaratsara kosa raha toa ny filoha Michel Martelly mba mieritreritra tsara ny vava avoakany amin'ny maha-FILOHAKO azy.
26Of course, there were some Martelly supporters…Ary eny, nisy ireo sasany nanohana an'i Martelly…
27While Marie Lucie of #Vision2000 appeared to have made excuses 4 #Martelly‘s anti-women comments, @RTVCHAITI having field day w/ intl focus. - Jacqueline Charles (@Jacquiecharles) August 3, 2015Raha niseho ho nanao fialantsiny tamin'ny fanehoankevitra tsy tia vehivavy nataon'i #Martelly i Marie Lucie avy amin'ny #Vision2000, vaovao niompana tamin'ny iraisam-pirenena no nalefan'ny @RTVCHAITI tontolo andro.
28…but most feminist activists and women's groups stood solidly behind their own:…fa nitsangana niray hina tamin'ny mitovy aminy ny ankamaroan'ireo mpikatroka mafana fo mpiaro vehivavy sy ireo vondrom-behivavy :
29Women's groups denounce silence of women ministry, women political leaders, the PM re: #Martelly‘s comments.Ampangain'ireo vondrom-behivavy ny fahanginan'ireo vehivavy minisitra, ireo vehivavy mpitarika ara-politika, ny PM re: fanehoankevitr'i #Martelly.

32Women's group says awaiting reaction from @UN and @EU_Commission on #Martelly‘s comments.Nilaza ny vondrom-behivavy fa miandry ny fihetsiky ny @Firenena Mikambana sy ny @Kaomisiôna Eorôpeana momba ilay fanehoankevitr'i #Martelly.
33“They have a right to say something.“Manan-jo ny hiteny zavatra izy ireo.

35- Jacqueline Charles (@Jacquiecharles) August 3, 2015 Another Haitian government official has since resigned:Efa nametra-pialàna ihany koa ny mpiasa-panjakana ambony iray hafa tao amin'ny governemantan'i Haiti:
36Another #Martelly govt official, this one Minister of Agriculture Fresner Dorcin, resigns http://t.co/lLQrj19eVsNametra-pialàna ny mpiasam-panjakana iray hafa tao amin'ny governemantan'i #Martelly, Fresner Dorcin Minisitry ny Fambolena
37- Michael Deibert (@michaelcdeibert) September 19, 2015 Meanwhile, the Code Red post went on to cite other regional instances of threats against women and homosexuals - Barbadian schoolboys “chanting an original pro-rape song: Tek dickey and roll”; the fallout over Caleb Orozco's fight to end anti-gay laws in Belize; and a public threat by a government official against a female activist in Guyana - making the point that “misogyny and anti-gay violence are rooted in hetero/sexism”:Mandritra izany, notohizan'ny lahatsoratry ny Code Red ny resaka hitanisàna ireo tranga hafa mikasika ireo fandrahonana ireo vehivavy sy ireo sarimbavy tany amin'ny faritra maro - Mpianatra zazalahy Barbadiàna “nihira hira mankasitraka ny fanolanana: Tek dickey and roll”; ny vokatry ny adin'i Caleb Orozco hampitsaharana ireo lalàna manohitra ny sarimbavy any Belize; ary ny fandrahonana ampahibemaso nataon'ny mpiasa-panjakana iray ao amin'ny governemanta tamin'ny vehivavy mpikatroka mafana fo iray tany Goiana - nahatonga tsoakevitra hoe “lalim-paka ao amin'ireo mpifankatia tsy mitovy taovam-pananahana / olona mametraka ny tsy fitovian'ny lahy sy ny vavy ny fankahalàna vehivavy sy ny herisetra amin'ny sarimbavy”:
38Rape is a footnote.Ambinambin-javatra ny fanolanana.
39Schoolboys can delight in it and Presidents can threaten women citizens with it.Afaka manandrana io ireo zazalahy mpianatra ary afaka mandrahona ireo vehivavy olon-tsotra amin'io ny Filoha.
40Feminist activists are told that we need to meet heterosexual men where they are, that we need to allow men their misogyny (as if we have a choice in the matter?) as gender equality is a process that cannot be preempted by our claims to full humanity.Nilazàna ireo vehivavy mpikatroka mafana fo fa mila mihaona amin'ireo lehilahy mitia vehivavy any amin'ny misy azy ireo isika, fa mila mamela ireo lehilahy amin'ny fankahalàny vehivavy isika (sahala amin'ny hoe afaka manan-tsafidy amin'izany resaka izany isika?) toy ny hoe dingana iray tsy azo eo noho eo amin'ireo fitarainantsika hanana ny maha-olona feno ny fitovian-jon'ny lahy sy ny vavy.
41We need to be patient and quiet and good.Mila mahay mahandry sy milamina ary tsara isika.
42Misogyny is the fabric that our society is made of.Tambatsela mandrafitra ny fiarahamonintsika ny fanilihana vehivavy.
43Best to lean in rather than undo.Ny miaina manaraka azy io no tsara indrindra noho ny manafoana azy.
44Better to workshop than unravel de damn ting!Tsaratsara kokoa ny manao atrikasa io noho ny manongotra ilay ahiahy ratsy!
45The post ended on a despondent note, even as the blog - and outspoken women across the Caribbean - continue to battle gender inequity, day by day:Nifarana tamin'ny naoty malahelo ilay lahatsoratra, na hoe mbola manohy miady amin'ny tsy fitovian-jon'ny lahy sy ny vavy isan'andro aza ilay bilaogy - sy ireo vehivavy miteny mivantana manerana an'i Karaiba:
46Some days Caribbean queer feminist brilliance beats so boldly it drowns out the constant and multi-directional message that women and girls don't matter.Misy ireo andro, na miady mafy fatratra aza ireo mpiaro ny zon'ireo vehivavy Karaibiana mamirapiratra, tafalentika ao anatin'ilay hafatra miverina tsy miova ary mandeha amin'ny lafivalo hoe tsy misy dikany ireo vehivavy sy ireo zazavavy.
47And the rest of the time?Ary ny sisa tamin'ny fotoana?
48That schoolboys'-chant-President's-rant stays in your head.Mijanona ao an-dohanao ilay hira fanenjehana ventesin'ny zazalahy mpianatra manatefotefoka ny filoha.
