IVeki yeSizwe yoGonyo lweentsana
Ugonyo. Uninzi lwethu kusenokwenzeka ukuba luvile ngakumbi ngogonyo kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo kunokuba besilindele. Ezilungileyo, ezimbi, eziyinyani nezingeyonyani. Ngokuqinisekileyo ibe ngumba oshushu okhokelele kwiingxoxo ezininzi phakathi kwabahlobo, usapho, oogxa kunye nabantu abangabaziyo ngokufanayo. Sazifumana sifunda yaye siphulaphula ukuze sizuze ukuqonda okusemagqabini ngexesha apho kwakunzima ukufumaneka ukuqiniseka nokuthuthuzelwa. Inye into eqinisekileyo, izitofu zokugonya ziye zafumana ujoliso kuluntu.
Ngenxa yeemeko ezikhoyo emhlabeni, xa sicinga ngogonyo, iingqondo zethu zidla ngokutsaleleka kwi-COVID-19. Ngelixa i-COVID-19 ngokuqinisekileyo ifuna ingqalelo yethu, zininzi ezinye izitofu ezibalulekileyo ekufuneka sizifumene. Ngelishwa, kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo, iColorado ibone ukuhla kwemilinganiselo yokugonywa kwabantwana. Ngapha koko, bekukho ukuhla nge-8% ukusuka ku-2020 ukuya ku-2021. Imiba enegalelo inokubandakanya indlela ekuphakameni kobhubhane kwenze kwanzima ukugcina ukuqeshwa okucwangcisiweyo rhoqo, kunye nokwanda kolwazi olungachananga olujikeleze ugonyo. Nokuba kunjalo, amagosa ezempilo karhulumente ajonge ukuwulungisa lo mba. Oku kusizisa kwiVeki yeSizwe yoGonyo lweNtsana (NIIW).
Unyaka ngamnye, i-NIIW igxile ekufundiseni nasekunyuseni amazinga okugonya kuluntu lwabantwana ukukhusela abantwana abancinci kwizifo ezithintelwa ngogonyo. Yaqalwa ngo-1994, i-NIIW ibhiyozela imbali ende yezitofu zokugonya, ukhuseleko lwesitofu, kunye nempumelelo yesitofu sokugonya. I-NIIW ifuna ukufundisa nokukhuthaza iinkqubo zokugonya kunye nokwazisa ukuze kwandiswe amazinga okugonya. Iyavuyisana nenyaniso yokuba ngoku kukho izitofu ezili-14 ezahlukeneyo ezinokufunyanwa ngabantwana ukunceda ukukhusela abantwana kwizifo ezimandundu. I-NIIW ibalaselisa iingongoma eziziintloko ezintlanu evekini. Izitofu zokugonya zisebenza kakhulu, izifo ezininzi ezibulalayo ziye zancitshiswa, zonke izifo ezithintelwa ngogonyo ziyingozi kakhulu, okukhona zilufumana ugonyo lusebenza ngakumbi, kwaye ugonyo lukhuselekile. I-NIIW ixhomekeke kuthi, bahlali, ukuba sincede kulo mlo. Ukusebenzisa amazwi ethu ukukhuthaza, ukufundisa kunye nokwandisa ulwazi kunye nethemba malunga nogonyo ukunceda ukugcina abantwana bethu kunye noluntu lukhuselekile kwaye lusempilweni.
Uphando kunye nophuhliso lwezitofu zokugonya akuzange kube yingcinga ebantwini abaninzi, kodwa iminyaka emibini edlulileyo iveze inkqubo yophuhliso kunye nokwamkelwa kwezitofu. Oku kwanda kolwazi kuye kwanceda abantu abaninzi ukuba bafunde amanyathelo angqongqo kunye nesayensi afunekayo ukubakhupha beze ehlabathini. Iye yanceda ekuqaqambiseni uhlolo oluneenkcukacha abahamba kulo kwaye luququzelele elubala lwenkqubo yokhuseleko. Okona kubaluleke kakhulu nangona kunjalo, eyona nto intle yayikukuba ibonise ukuba ukwanda kwethu kulwazi kunye neteknoloji yesitofu sokugonya kunokusindisa ubomi. Ukuba ugonyo lunokunceda abantu babuyele kwabo babathandayo nakwizinto zobomi eziye zaba nentsingiselo nolonwabo.
