蒂埃里·卡耶奈扎(Thierry Kajeneza)
在饱受战争蹂躏的布隆迪长大,目睹了妇女和女童受到的虐待。他成年后,与一名同伴发起了一个名叫ICIRORE C’AMAHORO
(基隆迪语意思是“和平之镜”)的维权组织。该组织在恩戈齐省(Ngozi)开展工作,制止对女童和妇女的暴力行径是其更广泛的人权和健康使命的一部分。
卡耶奈扎倡议任何人都可以通过以下八种途径帮助女童和妇女:

- 制定更有效的法律。制定法律和执行现有法律,以保护妇女不受歧视和暴力,包括强奸、殴打、辱骂、生殖器切割、酷刑、“名誉处决”(honor killing)及人口贩运
-
为女童提供教育。强调女童教育的价值和妇女对经济发展的贡献。
-
和平解决冲突。通过纳入妇女和女童的视角来促进争端的解决。
- 妇女培训。通过提供技能培训来增强妇女的经济收入能力。
- 制止童婚。使公众认识到童婚在本质上是对人权的侵犯。
- 鼓励妇女投票。讨论妇女投票的价值并鼓励妇女成为候选人。
- 提高对贫困的认识,特别是对一些农村妇女所处贫困状况的认识。
- 解释人权。向人们讲解根据国际国内人权法律他们所应承担的责任。
2010年,卡耶奈扎被选入一组非洲青年,应邀参加了在约翰内斯堡(Johannesburg)举行的“男子汉行动青年领袖峰会”(Man Up Young Leaders Summit)。与会者规划如何在自身社区促进性别平等。[“男子汉”行动是设在纽约的“克林顿全球倡议”(Clinton Global Initiative)与设在华盛顿的“生命之声全球同盟”(Vital Voices Global Partnership)的合作项目。]
卡耶奈扎表示,布隆迪的地方和国家政府对ICIRORE的工作反应积极。他说:“如果我们能团结一致,性别暴力的问题将会得到解决。“
“所有妇女都应过没有恐惧的生活。”
