Je m\u2019appelle Mitima Nalibonwa, d\u00e9fenseure des droits des femmes et militante pour la dignit\u00e9 humaine. Aujourd\u2019hui, je prends la parole avec une douleur profonde, mais aussi avec une d\u00e9termination intacte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le matin de l\u2019incident, je me trouvais devant l\u2019entr\u00e9e de l\u2019h\u00f4pital de Nyarugugu, dans le camp de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s de Nakivale. Comme \u00e0 mon habitude, je m\u2019adressais aux femmes venues se faire soigner. Je leur parlais de leurs droits, de leur valeur, et de l\u2019importance de vivre dans le respect et la dignit\u00e9 \u2014 peu importe leur identit\u00e9 ou leur orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais ce jour-l\u00e0, mon message n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 accueilli comme un message de paix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un groupe de femmes, majoritairement issues de la communaut\u00e9 somalienne musulmane du quartier, s\u2019est violemment oppos\u00e9 \u00e0 moi. Elles m\u2019ont accus\u00e9e d\u2019enseigner des choses \u00ab haram \u00bb, simplement parce que je d\u00e9fends les droits des personnes homosexuelles. Pour elles, parler d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 et de respect pour tous \u00e9tait inacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tr\u00e8s vite, les insultes ont laiss\u00e9 place \u00e0 la violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 agress\u00e9e physiquement, frapp\u00e9e et humili\u00e9e en public. Ce moment a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 la fois terrifiant et r\u00e9v\u00e9lateur. Terrifiant, parce que ma vie et mon int\u00e9grit\u00e9 \u00e9taient en danger. R\u00e9v\u00e9lateur, parce qu\u2019il montre \u00e0 quel point la peur, l\u2019ignorance et les pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s peuvent encore pousser certaines personnes \u00e0 rejeter la dignit\u00e9 humaine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je ne suis pas leur ennemie. Je suis une femme qui se bat pour que chaque autre femme \u2014 peu importe sa religion, son origine ou ses croyances \u2014 puisse vivre librement, sans violence ni discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce qui m\u2019est arriv\u00e9 ne me fera pas taire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au contraire, cela renforce ma conviction que notre travail est n\u00e9cessaire. Nous devons continuer \u00e0 \u00e9duquer, \u00e0 dialoguer et \u00e0 construire des ponts entre les communaut\u00e9s, m\u00eame lorsque cela est difficile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je lance un appel aux autorit\u00e9s du camp et aux organisations humanitaires : la protection des d\u00e9fenseurs des droits humains doit \u00eatre une priorit\u00e9. Personne ne devrait \u00eatre attaqu\u00e9 pour avoir d\u00e9fendu la dignit\u00e9 d\u2019autrui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je reste debout. Bless\u00e9e, mais pas bris\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mitima Nalibonwa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swahili<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jina langu ni Mitima Nalibonwa, mtetezi wa haki za wanawake na mpiganiaji wa heshima ya binadamu. Leo nachukua nafasi ya kuzungumza nikiwa na maumivu makubwa, lakini pia nikiwa na azimio thabiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asubuhi ya tukio hilo, nilikuwa mbele ya lango la hospitali ya Nyarugugu, katika kambi ya wakimbizi ya Nakivale. Kama ilivyo kawaida yangu, nilikuwa nikizungumza na wanawake waliokuja kupata matibabu. Niliwaeleza kuhusu haki zao, thamani yao, na umuhimu wa kuishi kwa heshima na utu \u2014 bila kujali utambulisho au mwelekeo wao wa kijinsia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lakini siku hiyo, ujumbe wangu haukupokelewa kama ujumbe wa amani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kundi la wanawake, wengi wao wakiwa kutoka jamii ya Wasomali Waislamu katika eneo hilo, walinipinga kwa nguvu. Walinishutumu kuwa ninafundisha mambo \u201charamu\u201d, kwa sababu tu ninatetea haki za watu wenye mwelekeo wa jinsia moja. Kwao, kuzungumzia usawa na heshima kwa wote haikubaliki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kwa haraka, matusi yaligeuka kuwa vurugu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nilishambuliwa kimwili, nikapigwa na kudhalilishwa hadharani. Tukio hilo lilikuwa la kutisha na pia la kufunua ukweli. La kutisha, kwa sababu maisha yangu na usalama wangu vilikuwa hatarini. La kufunua ukweli, kwa sababu linaonyesha jinsi hofu, ujinga na chuki zinavyoweza kusukuma baadhi ya watu kukataa utu wa binadamu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mimi si adui yao. Mimi ni mwanamke ninayepigania kila mwanamke mwingine \u2014 bila kujali dini yake, asili yake au imani yake \u2014 aweze kuishi kwa uhuru, bila vurugu wala ubaguzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kilichonipata hakitaninyamazisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Badala yake, kimenipa nguvu zaidi ya kuendelea, kwa sababu kinaonyesha wazi kuwa kazi yetu bado ni muhimu sana. Lazima tuendelee kuelimisha, kuzungumza na kujenga madaraja kati ya jamii, hata pale ambapo ni vigumu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natoa wito kwa mamlaka za kambi na mashirika ya kibinadamu: ulinzi wa watetezi wa haki za binadamu lazima uwe kipaumbele. Hakuna mtu anayepaswa kushambuliwa kwa sababu ya kutetea utu wa wengine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninasimama imara. Nimejeruhiwa, lakini sijavunjika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
