Ngokujolisa kuQeqesho, iziXhobo zoShishino kunye neNgcebiso, Ezi Imibutho iSebenzisa ukuqinisa i-BIPOC Doula Iminikelo kunye nokunciphisa Ukwahluka kweMpilo kwabaNzala abaMnyama
I-DENVER - Njengoko izinto eziphambili zokunakekelwa kwempilo zikhula malunga neenkonzo ezilinganayo, ezihambelana nenkcubeko ukujongana nempilo kunye nentlalontle yempilo yoluntu oluhlukeneyo, ngoko ke imfuneko yokwakha nokugcina iziseko zokuxhasa ababoneleli bezempilo - abantu abanikezela ezi nkonzo. Amaxesha amaninzi, aba baboneleli bezempilo basuka kwiindawo abahlala kuzo, kwaye babelane ngezazisi namava abenza babe kwindawo entle yokunceda izigulana zabo.
I-Colorado Access iyazi ngokungafaniyo kwezempilo okubhalwe kakuhle kwiziphumo zempilo yomama kunye nomntwana phakathi kwabantu abaMnyama e-United States kwaye ngelishwa ibona oku kungafani kubonakaliswe kubulungu bayo.
Enye yeendlela ezithembisayo zokuthi kujongwe ukungafani kweli qela kukuxhaswa kwe-doula ngexesha lomsebenzi kunye nokuzalwa, ngakumbi ngama-doula anemvelaphi yobuhlanga, yobuhlanga okanye yenkcubeko ekwabelwanayo ngayo. Nangona kunjalo ubutyebi bedatha malunga nempembelelo entle yokhathalelo lwe-doula oluphendula ngokwenkcubeko kwiziphumo zokuzalwa, kuqikelelwa ukuba ngaphantsi kwe-10% yee-doulas e-US ngabaMnyama (umthombo). Ukongeza, ngelixa i-doulas ibonakalise ukuba ngamalungu asebenzayo okhathalelo lwezempilo, iziseko ze-doula zangoku kunye nezigqeba ezilawulayo kunye nezempilo ezizibambileyo azikho ukulungelelaniswa kokugcinwa kwabasebenzi abaphezulu kunye nokuzinza kwexesha elide lomsebenzi.
Ukuqala ukujongana nale nto, iColorado Access isebenza noBirdie Johnson kunye nombutho wakhe ongenzi nzuzo Iinkonzo zikaMama Bird Doula (MBDS) - enikezela ngenkxaso ye-doula kunye nokunakekelwa kwe-perinatal kunye nemfundo kwiintsapho zaseDenver nase-Aurora - kwiinzame ezijoliswe ekugqibeleni ukunciphisa ukungalingani kwezempilo phakathi kwabazala abaMnyama. Xa intsebenziswano yaqala ngoDisemba ka-2021, la maqela mabini afuna ukuchonga nokuxhasa abazalwa beNtsundu abangama-40 abakhuselwe yiMedicaid. Ukuxhasa eli qela lokuqala lihlala liphambili, kwaye amaqabane afuna ukwandisa inkxaso yabo ukubandakanya abasebenzi be-doula kunye namalungu akhonza yi-doulas.
"Ukuba ne-doula lilungelo elisisiseko, kungekhona i-luxury," kusho u-Imaan Watts, umncedisi weprogram kunye ne-doula kwi-MBDS, ekhonza abantu baseMedicaid. Evela eGeorgia, uWatts uyazi ngokwakhe ukubaluleka kokufumana uluntu olwenziwe ngabasetyhini bemibala ukuze bamxhase, nto leyo eyamtsalela kumbutho. "Ikharityhulamu yethu ixhasa imizimba emnyama nemdaka, ijongana nokungafani kwebhayoloji kunye namava aphilayo akhethekileyo kubantu bemibala."
NgoJanuwari 2023, uJohnson wazisa inkqubo entsha yee-doulas ezichonga njengabaMnyama, iMveli, kunye naBantu boMbala (BIPOC) ngomnqweno wokuxhasa iintsapho ze-BIPOC. Le nkqubo yenzelwe ukudala uluntu kunye nokubonelela ngemfundo eqhubekayo, izixhobo zokurhweba kunye nokucebisa abathathi-nxaxheba. Iidoula ezingamashumi amabini anesine zamkelwa kwiqela lokuqala, ukuqala ngoJanuwari 2023 ukuya kutsho ngoJanuwari 2024.
Injongo yale nkqubo kukubonisa ukuba ngembuyekezo efanelekileyo, uqeqesho olubanzi kunye namathuba okuqhubela phambili, i-BIPOC doula workforce inokunyusa ukunciphisa ukungalingani kwezempilo kwabaMnyama abazalwa kwilizwe laseColorado. I-Colorado Access nayo ikholelwa ukuba le projekthi ingaba namandla olwazi kwimigaqo-nkqubo kunye neengxoxo ezijikeleze iinkonzo ze-doula ezifakwe kwi-Medicaid, isihloko esiphambili kwimeko yezempilo yelizwe kunye nezopolitiko.
"Asizibophelelenga kuphela ekukhuliseni inethiwekhi yababoneleli abahlukeneyo abanokuthi amalungu ethu athembele kwaye anxibelelane nabo, kodwa kunye nokujongana nokungafani kwiziphumo zokuzalwa kumaqela eentlanga kunye nobuhlanga," kusho u-Annie Lee, umongameli kunye ne-CEO ye-Colorado Access. "Inyaniso yokuba abantu abaMnyama abazalwa basengozini yokufumana iimeko ezisongela ubomi kunye nokwanda kweziganeko zeengxaki ezinxulumene nokukhulelwa kukubizela kwisenzo, kwaye kubonisa imfuno ecacileyo yoluntu yenkxaso ehambelana nenkcubeko, iinkqubo kunye nezibonelelo."
