UKerry Washington, uMceli mngeni weNgxowa yePurpleIsiseko se-Allstate
Amandla amantombazana yincasa yonyaka ka-2017. Siye sayibona kuQhanqalazo lwaBasetyhini (oluphakathi kwemingcelele emikhulu kwimbali yaseMelika), siyibonile kwiklasi yamva nje yokuthweswa izidanga kweeNstronauts zeNASA, apho isiqingatha ibingabafazi, kwaye siyibonile kwisininzi sabafazi abanamandla besenza kwaye bezenzela isihlalo sabo etafileni. Ilizwi lowasetyhini liya ngokuxokozela, lomelele kwaye lixhaphake. Kwaye akukho ndawo ingcono yokuba elo lizwi livakale ngaphandle kweForbes Women Summit, umsitho waminyaka le odibanisa iqela eliphambili labaphembeleli bamalungelo abasetyhini kwaye ubanike iqonga lokukhuthaza kunye nokwenza utshintsho.
Ukuboleka ilizwi lakhe kule ntshukumo ngumlingisi otyunjwe ngu-Emmy, u-Kerry Washington, othathe inqanaba lokuxoxa ngomsebenzi wakhe ne-Allstate Foundation, ngakumbi i-Purple Purse Challenge yabo yonyaka. UKerry usebenza nesiseko esenza ibhegi emfusa minyaka le; kulo nyaka, ibhegi yayi yenzelwe intsebenziswano ne-Aquatalia . Imfusa ngumbala kwindalo iphela yokwazisa ngobundlobongela basekhaya kwaye ibhegi luphawu apho umfazi egcina indawo yakhe yezemali. Imali eqokelelwe kuyilo lwakhe iya ekufundiseni abasetyhini ngendlela yokonga nokwenza imali, ke bayakwazi ukushiya ubudlelwane obuhlukumezayo ngokukhuselekileyo, ngaphandle kwemeko yabo yezemali.
Andizange ndive ngokuxhatshazwa kwemali, kodwa nangaliphi na ixesha ukufikelela kwabasetyhini kwimali, amakhadi etyala, ezothutho zisongelwa. Ikho kwiipesenti ezingama-99 zeemeko zobundlobongela basekhaya. Sesona sizathu sokuqala sokuba abantu basetyhini bahlala kubudlelwane obuhlukumezayo, kuba baziva ngathi abanako ukuzinakekela ngokwabo ngokwasezimalini, uchaze umdlali weqonga.

Eqonda amandla esikhundla sakhe, umdlali weqonga wayefuna ukudibanisa uthando lwakhe lokulwela ukuxhotyiswa kwabasetyhini kunye nokuphelisa ukuphathwa gadalala kwabasetyhini ngothando lwefashoni. Uye wavuma ukuba ubekwilungelo elilodwa lokudala utshintsho kwabasetyhini kwaye asebenzise ilizwi lakhe, kunye neqonga, ukunceda abantu ababhinqileyo abarhanelekile kubudlelwane obungenampilo, ukulawula kunye nokuhlukumeza ubudlelwane.
Ukuyila le ngxowa-mali kusinika indlela elula yokuthetha ngomcimbi onzima. Ndabona ukuba ngokwenza oku ndinokuba nefuthe lokwenyani, elibonakalayo ekutshintsheni, nasekulondolozeni, ubomi babafazi.
Uxelele abaphulaphuli ababhinqileyo ibali lowasetyhini oxhomekeke kakhulu kwiAllstate Foundation. Wayethatha imali ayisongele kwiityhubhu zetampon, kuba wayesazi ukuba yeyona ndawo indoda yakhe ingayi kujonga kuyo. Nje ukuba agcine imali eyoneleyo yokuba yena nabantwana bakhe basinde, wenza njalo. Wayenolwazi kunye nezixhobo zokwenza oku ngenxa yomsebenzi wesiseko.
Ngamagama kaNks. Washington, Wakhululeka kwaye nelizwi lakhe labuya.
Ukujoyina umdlali weqonga yayinguCecile Richards, uMongameli woCwangciso loMzali, kunye noJanet Mock, iGqwetha kunye noMlobi Ukuphinda uchaze iNyaniso kunye nokuQiniseka okuGqwesileyo. URichards uthethe ngendlela awayezingca ngayo ngentshukumo yabasetyhini, ngakumbi kwimeko yezopolitiko yanamhlanje, kwaye wagxininisa ukubaluleka kwabasetyhini abenza ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sabemi baseMelika. Umfazi oluthando othandiweyo ugxininise kwelokuba abantu basetyhini kufuneka bayiqonde le nto kwaye kuphela xa beyazi baya kuthi… siyakwazi ngokwenene ukutshintsha icala leli lizwe.
Ukongeza, uJanet Mock wagxininisa indlela umba wokulingana ongagxili nje kumalungelo abasetyhini kuphela, kodwa endaweni yoko wawunento yokwenza namalungelo abo bonke abantu. Itshantliziyo le-transgender ligxininise indlela umxholo wokulingana akufuneki ubile nje kwisini, kufanele ukuba ibe kukudityaniswa kovelwano, ukwamkelwa kunye nobulungisa.
