Mu kubelawo nabantu, tulina endowooza ey’omukwano ku buzadde. Maama ow’edda mukyala wa kisa era afaayo era bulijjo ayagala nnyo abaana. Alina obwagazi obw’obutonde obw’okulabirira abalala, era obulamu bwe butuukirira ng’afuna olubuto n’okuzaala. Endowooza eno ku buzadde tezigobwa mikutu gya mawulire, ng’embuto zitera okulagibwa ng’ezitaliimu bizibu, ate okukuza omwana ng’okumatiza ennyo. Ebiva mu nnyiriri zino tebisosola okusinziira ku myaka, era abaana abali wansi wemyaka kumi namwenda batera okusendebwasendebwa mu mboozi ng’abazadde abakulu. Kikulu nti ka kibe nti olubuto lugendereddwamu oba nedda, abaana abali wansi wemyaka kumi namwenda abali embuto basobole okwekenneenya byonna bye basobola okulonda mu ngeri esomye era ey’omutindo. Embuto z’abavubuka ziyinza okuba ez’akabi era nga zikosa omuzadde n’omwana okumala ebbanga eddene, era obuzadde bw’abavubuka naddala obwa maama bwetaaga okuggyibwako okuwanibwa.
Ebikosa omubiri olw’embuto z’abavubuka
Nga bwe kiri ku mbuto zonna, abavubuka abali embuto bayinza okwolekagana n’ebizibu ebiwerako mu mubiri. Okusinziira ku kitongole ky’ebyobulamu mu nsi yonna, ebizibu by’embuto n’okuzaala bye bisinga okutta abantu abalina nnabaana abali wakati w’emyaka 15-19 mu nsi yonna. Abavubuka abazaala batera okuba n’obulamu obwelalikiliza ne balagajjalira ebyetaago byabwe nga balabirira omwana waabwe. Era batera okugejja n’okukoga okusinga abantu abalala abazaala. Abavubuka abali embuto nabo bali mu bulabe bwa maanyi obw’okulwala obulwadde bwa puleesa, okukendeeza ku musaayi, okukwatibwa endwadde z’ekikaba, n’okuzaala nga tebanneetuuka.
Abaana b’abazadde abato nabo bayinza okufuna ebizibu ebitali bimu. Ng’oggyeeko obulabe obweyongera obw’okuzaala abaana abafu n’okuvaamu embuto, abaana batera okuba n’obuzito obutono nga bazaalibwa era bafuna embeera enzibu ez’abaana abazaalibwa. Mu ngeri y’emu, abazadde abavubuka tebatera kufuna bujjanjabi bwa maanyi nga tebannazaala mu myezi mitono egisooka nga bamaze okufuna embuto. Kino kiteeka abazadde n’omwana mu bulabe bw’okufuna ebizibu.
Okuwaana olubuto n’obuzadde kiyinza okuvaako obulabe obw’amaanyi, era n’okufa, omwana ali mu lubuto oba omuvubuka ali olubuto. Abavubuka abali embuto bayinza okufuna ebizibu ebitono mu mubiri olw’okuggyamu embuto mu ngeri etali ya bulabe okusinga olw’olubuto olutali lwa bukuumi. Okuggyamu olubuto mu nkola etali ya bulabe era kisaana okulowoozebwako nga twogera ku bulamu bw’omuvubuka ali olubuto okumala ebbanga eddene.
Ebikosa ebirowoozo ebiva mu kufuna embuto mu bavubuka
Ebizibu by’obwongo ebiva mu lubuto bisinga kutawanya abavubuka kubanga emibiri gyabwe gikyayita mu nkyukakyuka mu busimu, ate kubanga sibetegefu kukola ku bizibu ebiva mu lubuto n’okuzaala. Okunoonyereza kulaga nti abavubuka abali embuto ab’emyaka 15-19 emikisa gy’okulwala ekiwuubaalo oluvannyuma lw’okuzaala bisingako emirundi ebiri okusinga abo ab’emyaka 25 n’okudda waggulu.
Obubonero bw’okwennyamira oluvannyuma lw’okuzaala okuli okukaluubirirwa okukwatagana n’omwana, okukoowa, okweraliikirira, okutya, n’okulowooza ku kwetuusaako obulabe oba omwana. Abazadde abavubuka nabo balina ekiwuubaalo, situleesi, n’ebirowoozo eby’okwetta okusinga bannaabwe abatanazaala.
Abavubuka abali embuto tebatera kufuna buyambi mu mikwano gyabwe. Enkolagana wakati w’ensonga zino egenda mu makubo gombi, kubanga abavubuka abali embuto batera okuva mu mbeera z’okulumbibwa, obuyigirize obutono, ssente entono, oba amaka n’ebitundu ebirimu akavuyo oba ebitali binywevu. Mu ngeri y’emu, abavubuka abafuna embuto batera okugaanibwa bazadde baabwe ne mikwano gyabwe. Obutaba na buwagizi kyibateeka mu bulabe obw’amaanyi obw’okufuna ebizibu by’obwongo okuva mu lubuto lwabwe.
Wadde ng’okuggyamu embuto nkola ezibuwalira nnyo mu birowoozo, ebikosa abavubuka ku bulamu bw’obwongo kyenkanyi bikwata ku bulamu bw’obwongo. Obwamaama oba obuzadde, emirundi mingi tebutuukana na bisuubirwa ebitali bituufu ebiragibwa mu mikutu gy’amawulire naddala eri abavubuka abatalina buwagizi oba obutebenkevu obwetaagisa. Okuggyamu olubuto tekitegeeza nti omuvubuka ayagala omwana tajja kudamu kuzaala, era mu butuufu basobola okuba ab’ekisa eri omuvubuka ali olubuto n’omwana ali mu lubuto.
Ebikosa embuto z’abavubuka ku biseera by’omuvubuka eby’omu maaso
Abavubuka abali embuto nabo bafuna ebizibu mu mbeera z’abantu n’ebyenfuna. Abazadde abavubuka batera okuva mu ssomero n’olwekyo baba bakugirwa nnyo mu mirimu gye bayinza okukola. Kino kibateeka mu mbeera y’ebyenfuna etali nnywevu. Era tebatera kufuna mbeera za bantu ezenjawulo okusinga bannaabwe, ekizibuwalira okukulaakulanya emikwano emirungi nokugaziya emikutu gyabwe egyobuwagizi. Ebikosa mu mubiri ne mu birowoozo ebiva mu lubuto nabyo biyinza okulemesa omuvubuka okuwona n’okumanyiira embeera ng’akula, kubanga ebikosa biyinza okuba eby’ekiseera ekiwanvu, era kubanga beewaddeyo okulabirira omwana okumala emyaka 18.
Okuggyamu embuto kisobozesa abantu ab’embuto ab’emyaka gyonna okuddamu okufuga obulamu bwabwe. Zirina okutunuulirwa ng’ebikozesebwa mu kutondawo ebiseera eby’omu maaso ebirungi, okusinga okutereeza ensobi eyasooka. Omuwendo gw’abavubuka abafuna embuto gukendedde mu myaka kkumi egiyise, okuva ku bukadde 16 obw’abaana abavubuka abazala mu 2000 okutuuka ku bukadde 13 mu 2019. Wabula okukendeera kuno tekwenkanankana mu nsi yonna, ng’ebitundu nga Buyindi ne South Asia bye bikulembedde enkyukakyuka, n’ebitundu ebirala omuli North Africa ne Middle East nga bigwa emabega. Okulaba ‘obuzadde’ ng’okwewaayo okw’amaanyi n’ebikosa omubiri, ebirowoozo n’embeera z’abantu kitundu kikulu nnyo mu nkola y’okusalawo eri omuzadde yenna omupya naddala abavubuka.
Oyinza n’okufaayo ku: “Embuto ezitagenderere n’okuggyamu embuto” oba “Okuggyamu embuto, eddembe ly’okuzaala n’okufa kwa bamaama”
