We all know about the pandemic that has come to define 2020.
0

هەموومان دەربارەى پەتاى ٢٠٢٠ دەزانين.
00:17
Understandably, COVID-19 has dominated the world's agenda,
1
17330
4670
بەباشى، كۆڤيد-١٩ زاڵ بووە بەسەر بەرنامەى جيهانى،
00:22
and mandatory lockdowns were introduced in many countries
2
22020
3440
لە زۆر وڵات داخستنەكان دەركەوتن
00:25
to help control the spread of the virus.
3
25500
2280
بۆ يارمەتيدانى كەمكردنەوەى بڵاوبوونەوەى ڤايرۆسەكە
00:28
For many of us, the lockdown was inconvenient.
4
28300
3480
بۆ زۆربەمان، داخستنێكى نا ئاسوودەى بوو.
00:31
We couldn't go to our normal places of business,
5
31810
2950
نەمانتوانى بچينە شوێنى كارى سروشتى خۆمان،
00:34
we couldn't visit family or friends,
6
34780
2030
نەماندەتوانى سەردانى خێزان و هاوڕێكانمان بكەين،
00:36
and we couldn't socialize publicly.
7
36840
2110
نەمانتوانى پەيوەنديەكى گشتى دروست بكەين.
00:39
But for some people, though,
8
39720
1860
بەڵام بۆ هەندێك كەس،
00:41
the freedom to get out of the house
9
41610
2200
ئازادى بۆ بەجێهێشتنى ماڵ
00:43
was not just a matter of convenience
10
43840
2960
تەنها بابەتى پشوودان نەبوو
00:46
but of physical safety and even life or death.
11
46830
4050
بەڵكو بابەتى سەلامەتى جەستەيى و تەنانەت بابەتى ژيان و مردنيش بوو.
00:51
Based on my work, I see the great majority of those vulnerable people are women,
12
51200
6030
لەسەر بنەماى كارەكەم، دەبينم كە زۆرينەى هەرە زۆرى، گروپە لاوازەكانى ئافرەتان
00:57
and this resonates with me,
13
57470
1900
و ئەوە گونجاوە لەگەڵ من،
00:59
especially today as I give my talk from the safety of my home.
14
59400
4535
بەتايبەتى ئەمڕۆ لە ماڵى پارێزراوى خۆم قسە دەكەم.
01:04
As a practicing obstetrician and gynecologist,
15
64230
3110
وەك پزيشكى منداڵ بوون و پزيشكى ئافرەتان،
01:07
I'm all too aware of the prevalence of gender-based violence
16
67380
3990
هەروەها بڵاوبوونەوەى توندووتيژى لەسەر بنەماى ڕەگەزى
01:11
in communities across Nigeria.
17
71410
2710
لە سەرانسەرى كۆمەڵگاكانى نەيجيريا.
01:14
And this is why I founded
18
74690
1260
لەبەر ئەوەش من دام مەزراند
01:15
the Women at Risk International Foundation, WARIF,
19
75970
3280
ڕێكخراوى ئافرەتانى مەترسى نێودەوڵەتى، WARIF،
01:19
in 2016
20
79280
1710
لە ساڵى ٢٠١٦
01:21
in response to this.
21
81010
1420
وەك وەڵامێك بۆ ئەمە.
01:22
Global estimates published by the WHO indicate
22
82660
3840
خەمڵاندنەكانى جيهان كە لەلايەن ڕێكخراوى تەندروستى جيهانى بڵاو كراونەتەوە
01:26
that one in three women worldwide have experienced an act of violence.
23
86530
4980
يەك لە سێى ژنانى جيهان دووچارى تووندوتيژى بوون.
01:31
And this was before the lockdown.
24
91550
2460
ئەمە پێش داخستنەكە بوو.
01:34
In March, an increase in the number of cases of violence against women
25
94340
3790
لە مانگى نەورۆز، حاڵەتەكان بەرز بوونەوە
01:38
was becoming apparent across the world,
26
98150
3220
بە ئاشكرا توندووتيژى دژى ژنان دەكرا،
01:41
amounting to a shadow pandemic that we are now faced with globally.
27
101470
5240
كە ئێستا لە جيهاندا ڕووبەڕويان دەبينەوە.
01:46
In France for example, there was a 30 percent increase
28
106750
3180
بۆ نموونە لە فەڕەنسا ٣٠% زيادى كردووە
01:49
in the number of cases of domestic violence.
29
109950
2500
لە ژمارەى حاڵەتەكانى تووندوتيژى خێزانى.
01:52
And in Argentina,
30
112690
1500
هەروەها لە ئەرجەنتين،
01:54
emergency calls from domestic violence cases
31
114240
2900
پەيوەندى لەناكاوى حاڵەتەكانى تووندوتيژى خێزانى
01:57
increased by 25 percent.
32
117170
2140
بە ڕێژەى ٢٥% زيادى كرد.
01:59
In the first two weeks of the lockdown in Lagos State,
33
119580
2730
لە ماوەى دوو هەفتەى يەكەمى داخستنى لاگۆس،
02:02
our emergency phone lines rang nonstop,
34
122620
2970
هێڵى تەلەفۆنى فرياكەوتن لە زەنگ نەوەستا،
02:05
and we recorded a 64 percent increase in calls
35
125610
3900
٦٥% پەيوەندى كردن زيادى كردووە
02:09
from women trapped at home with their abusers,
36
129550
3040
ئەو ئافرەتانەى لە ماڵەوە گيريان خوارد بوو دەستدرێژيان لێكراوە
02:12
in fear for their lives.
37
132610
1520
لە ترسى ژيانيان.
02:14
By June, the authorities became aware of the shadow pandemic,
38
134450
4327
تاوەكو مانگى پووشپەڕ، دەسەڵاتداران درك بە پەتاى هاوبەند دەكەن،
02:18
and a state of emergency on rape
39
138817
1943
بارى نا ئاسايى بۆ دەستدرێژى سێكسى ڕاگيەندرا
02:20
was declared by the federal government of Nigeria.
40
140770
3150
لەلايەن حكومەتى ففيدڕاڵى نەيجيرياوە.
02:24
As we fielded the distressing calls from girls and women, young and old,
41
144200
4830
لەكاتێكدا وەڵامى ئەو تەلەفۆنە تەنگانەى ئافرەتان و كچان، گەنج و پيرمان دەدايەوە،
02:29
we were able to help,
42
149060
1540
ئامادەبووين بۆ هاوكارى،
02:30
as thankfully, we kept the WARIF rape crisis center open
43
150730
4220
خۆشبەختانە ناوەندى دەستدرێژى سێكسى و WARIF بە كراوەى مانەوە
02:34
as a refuge of last resort.
44
154980
1940
وەك پەناگە و دوا پەناگە.
02:37
In the more remote areas,
45
157330
2130
لە زۆر ناوچە دوورەكان،
02:39
many women had to walk miles to receive any medical care and attention
46
159490
5250
ژنان ناچار بوون چەند ميلێك ڕێ بكەن تاوەكو چارەسەرى پزيشكى وەربگرن
02:45
as there was no transportation because of the lockdown.
47
165190
3320
بەهۆى نەبوونى گواستنەوە لە كاتى داخستنەكان.
02:48
They had no internet access to reach social media platforms,
48
168800
4080
دەستگەيشتنيان بە ئينتەرنێت و سەكۆكانى تۆڕە كۆمەڵايەتيەكان نەبوو،
02:52
and they had limited phone services
49
172920
2130
و خزمەتگوزارى تەلەفۆنيان كەم بوو
02:55
to call a 24-hour confidential helpline or even a neighbor.
50
175080
4620
تاوەكو پەيوەندى بە هێڵى يارمەتى نهێنى ٢٤ كاتژمێرى يان بە دراوسێ كەيەوە بكات.
02:59
So the situation for these women was much worse.
51
179820
3513
كەواتە دۆخەكە بۆ ئەم ژنانە زۆر خراپ بوو.
03:04
Our solution in addressing this was this:
52
184620
3700
چارەسەرەكە ئەمە بوو:
03:08
There are over 3,000 traditional birth attendants
53
188660
3290
زياتر لە ٣٠٠ ژنى ئاسايى هەيە
03:11
working in rural areas across Lagos State today.
54
191990
3150
ئەمڕۆ لە لادێكانى لاگۆس كار دەكەن.
03:15
These are community-based men and women
55
195310
2580
ژنان و پياوان لەناو كۆمەڵگاكەدا كار دەكەن
03:17
who have been informally trained
56
197920
1830
كە بە نافەرمى ڕاهێنانيان پێكراوە
03:19
and provide basic health care to both women and expectant mothers.
57
199770
4660
و چارەسەرى سەرەتايى پزيشكى بە ئافرەت و ژنى دووگيان دەدەن.
03:24
But none of them had received any form of training
58
204560
3430
بەڵام هيچ كاميان مەشق و ڕاهێنانيان پێ نەكراوە
03:28
on how to help women suffering from domestic violence.
59
208020
3360
لەسەر چۆنيەتى يارمەتيدانى ئەو ژنانەى كە تووندوتيژيان بەرامبەر دەكرێت.
03:31
We successfully trained 1,300 of these community gatekeepers
60
211610
5360
نزيكەى ١٣٠٠ كەسمان بە سەركەوتوويى مەشچ پێكرد
03:37
as first responders
61
217010
1580
وەك وەڵامدانەوەى يەكەم
03:38
in addressing the cases of violence against women
62
218630
3200
بۆ مامەڵە كردن لەگەڵ حاڵەتەكانى تووندوتيژى دژى ژنان
03:41
in their communities.
63
221860
1530
لەناو كۆمەڵگاكەياندا.
03:43
This meant that during the lockdown,
64
223420
2220
ئەمە واتە لە كاتى پرۆسەى داخستنەكە،
03:45
they were galvanized to go house to house in their communities
65
225670
4240
ئامادەن خانوو بە خانوو لە كۆمەڵگاكەيان بكەن
03:49
and with their training,
66
229950
1520
و بەو ڕاهێنانەى كە وەريان گرتووە،
03:51
were able to offer the necessary assistance
67
231490
2380
تاوەكو هاوكارى پێويست پێشكەش بكەن
03:53
to women trapped at home, unable to receive care.
68
233890
3360
بۆ ئەو ژنانەى لە ماڵەكانيان گيريان خواردووە و ناتوانن چارەسەر وەربگرن.
03:57
Reports varied from verbal and emotional abuse
69
237550
4280
ڕاپۆرتەكان لە هەڵسوكەوت و ئازاردانى سۆزدارى جياواز بوون
04:02
to far worse beatings and sexual violence.
70
242190
3420
خراپتر لە لێدان و تووندوتيژى سێكسى.
04:06
But those home visits
71
246050
1640
بەڵام ئەم سەردانانەى ماڵەوە
04:07
served as an opportunity for these women to share their stories
72
247720
4870
هەلێك بوو بۆ ئەو ژنانە كە چيڕۆكەكانيان هاوبەشى پێبكەن
04:12
and to receive the much needed care and support
73
252630
3010
و چاودێرى و پشگيرى پێويستيان لێ بكرێت
04:15
that the traditional birth attendants offered.
74
255670
2590
كە لەلايەن لەدايك بوونى نەريتيەوە دابين كراوە.
04:18
This program had been rolled out
75
258480
2120
ئەم بەرنامەيە دەستى پێكرد
04:20
across an additional seven local communities
76
260640
3110
بە درێژايى زياتر لە حەوت كۆمەڵگا
04:23
and has reached nearly 35,000 people,
77
263790
3420
كە گەيشتە نزيكەى ٣٥٠٠٠ كەس،
04:27
raising awareness of the shadow pandemic in these communities.
78
267230
4180
و بەشدارى لە بەرزكردنەوەى هۆشيارى نەخۆشى لە كۆمەڵگا كرد.
04:31
In the months to come,
79
271420
1420
لە ماوەى چەند مانگى داهاتوو،
04:32
we plan on including our other gatekeepers,
80
272880
2350
پلانمان هەيە دەرگاوانى تر لە خۆ بگرين،
04:35
the law enforcement officials and the religious leaders,
81
275260
3990
بەرپرسانى جێبەجێكردنى ياسا و سەركردە ئاينيەكان،
04:39
truly impacting on communities
82
279280
2670
كە بەڕاستى كاريگەريان لەسەر كۆمەڵگا هەيە
04:41
and on the safety and the lives of these women.
83
281970
2560
لەسەر سەلامەتى و ژيانى ئەو ژنانە.
04:44
As we embrace the new normal of working remotely from home
84
284740
3620
لە كاتێكدا ڕاهاتووين لە بارودۆخى تازە و كاركردن لە دوورەوەى ماڵ
04:48
and with online schooling,
85
288400
1697
و لەگەڵ خوێندنى سەرهێڵ،
04:50
it is more than likely
86
290107
1227
زياتر
04:51
that more women will be trapped at home with their abusers
87
291364
3296
ژنان بە دەست و پێوەندەكانيەوە لە ماڵەوە گيريان خواردووە
04:54
and this shadow pandemic will persist.
88
294990
2570
كە لە گەڵ ئەم نەخۆشيە بەردەوام دەبێت.
04:57
But I take hope and inspiration
89
297840
2350
بەڵام من هيوا و ئيلهام دەبەخشم
05:00
from the courage and determination
90
300220
2130
بە بوێرى و ديارى كردن
05:02
of the many who work to protect and support these women.
91
302380
4190
زۆر كەس كار بۆ پاراستن و پشتيوانى ئەم ژنانە دەكەن.
05:06
I have been awed by the unbelievable strength and the tenacity
92
306840
4230
زۆرم سەر لێدا بە هۆى باوەڕنەكردن بە هێز و توكمەيەكەى
05:11
that these women have shown during these precarious times
93
311090
3820
لەو كاتانەى ئەو ژنانە مەترسيان هەيە
05:14
and their ability to find their power in spite of all of this adversity.
94
314930
4730
توانايان هەيە بۆ دۆزينەوەى هێز لەناو ڕق لەو نەهامەتيە.
05:20
So, with or without the pandemic,
95
320050
3040
لەگەڵ پەتايەكە يان بەبێ پەتايەكە،
05:23
the work to protect girls and women continues,
96
323130
3523
كاركردن بۆ پاراستنى ژنان و كچان بەردەوامە،
05:27
because every girl and woman,
97
327420
2490
چونكە هەر كچ و ژنێك،
05:29
no matter what part of the world she lives,
98
329970
2490
بەبێ لەبەرچاو گرتنى شوێنەكەى لە جيهاندا،
05:32
has the right to live in a society free of any form of violence against her.
99
332500
6737
مافى هەيە لە كۆمەڵگايەكدا بژى خاڵى بێت لە تووندووتيژى.
05:40
Thank you.
