Ukulosha ku milimo abafyashi banakashi babomba, kalemba umo atile: “Abafyashi banakashi e basakamana sana ubumi bwa mwana, ukumufwaila isukulu, ukwaafwa umwana ukucenjela, ukusambilisha umwana imibele ya kwikalilamo e lyo no kwaafwa umwana ukuba uwashikatala.”

Umulimo umo uo abafyashi banakashi babomba kusambilisha abana. Apo amashiwi ya kubalilapo ayo umwana alanda asambilila kuli banyina, ululimi abalilapo ukulanda ilingi line ninshi e mutundu wa banyina. Banyina e bapoosa sana inshita na bana cila bushiku ukucila inshita bawishi bapoosa na bana, kanshi kuti twatila banyina e basambilisha sana abana no kubalungika. Kanshi ipinda lya ku Mexico ilitila, “Amasambililo mukaka uwa kwi bele” likomaila fye pa mulimo wacindama uwa bafyashi banakashi.

Yehova Lesa, Kalenga wesu, na o alacindika abafyashi banakashi. Na kuba ifunde limo pa Mafunde Ikumi ayalembelwe pa mabwe ku “munwe wa kwa Lesa” litila: “Ulecindika wiso na noko.” (Ukufuma 20:12; 31:18; Amalango 9:10) Ipinda lya mu Baibolo na lyo lilanda pa “amalango ya kwa noko.” (Amapinda 1:8) Abantu abengi ino nshita nabamona ubucindami bwa kusambilisha abana mu myaka ya kubalilapo itatu. Iyi ni nshita ilyo banyina bapoosa sana amano ku bana.

Mafya Nshi Abafyashi Banakashi Bakwata?

Abafyashi banakashi abengi ubwafya bakwata mu kusambilisha abana babo mu myaka yayafya iya mu kubangilila bwaba kubomba pa kuti basange umwa kusungila aba pa ng’anda. Ba United Nations basanga ukuti mu fyalo ifingi ifikankaala, abafyashi banakashi abengi abakwata abana abacepeleko pa myaka itatu balabomba.

Ubwafya bumbi ubo abafyashi banakashi bakwata kukusha abana beka fye pantu abalume babo balifuma pa ng’anda ukuya mu kubombela ku musumba umbi nelyo baliya ku calo cimbi. Ica kumwenako tukwete fitungu fyabela ku Armenia. Bashimika ukuti impendwa ikalamba iya baume baliya ku fyalo fya kutali mu kufwaya incito. Bambi abafyashi banakashi bashala fye beka na bana babo pantu abalume babo balibasha nelyo balifwa.

Lelo icitabo ca Women’s Education in Developing Countries citila, “abafyashi tabafwaya ukupoosa indalama mu kusambilisha abana babo abanakashi pantu tabenekela abana banakashi ukusunga ulupwa.”

Ubwafya bumbi ni ntambi. Mu fyalo fimo ku ca kumwenako, bafwaya abafyashi banakashi ukukonka intambi isha kushitisha abana banakashi ku fyupo e lyo no kukonka intambi sha kusembululwa kwa banakashi.
