And I guess I still wonder how it would have been had I stayed
I sometimes think about you and how we used to be </p><p>And though it can be hard to see
I really did have love for you
And maybe just maybe I wonder how it would have been had I not left </p><p>Had I just gotten over myself and tried one more time
Would you really still be mine
Would we have fulfilled our dreams
Would we still be a team </p><p>At times I smell your scent and for a second I look around hoping to see you
After reality hits I forget and it's like we never met</p><p>I sometimes wonder how you are, if you're okay, mentally and physically </p><p>Then I see your face and I try and recreate the emotions and expressions from my memory </p><p>At times I asked myself if I really did do enough. I wronged you so bad and never had the patience for you to deal with it
I wonder if I apologised enough
</p><p>We weren't perfect but I know you loved me and I know I loved you, but at times I wonder if we both honored that enough. </p><p>I took you for granted too
I wonder if you think of me like I think of you, I wonder if you still remember my scent or my smile or the way I am.... </p><p>As i think of you i know i wish you happiness and love, for I still treasure all the good....</p><p><br /></p><p>By: Linda RM Baumann</p><p>05 May 2021 </p><p>23h56</p>Linda Reanate Magano Baumannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00655239345340895825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233620964062559622.post-63521983637764399312021-07-26T01:18:00.000-07:002021-07-26T01:18:05.013-07:00 You Make Me Feel <p> <span style="font-size: 17px;">In your arms,</span></p>

These concepts carry close intersectional relations as feminism is advocating for equality, non-discrimination and justice for all irrespective of sex, race, colour, ethnic origin, religion, creed or social or economic status. Furthermore, the women’s right advances the recognition and protection of women’s human and legal rights. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The intersectional relations of these terminologies have been misunderstood by men who foresee feminism as a women’s agenda setting. However, it is imperative to interrogate the concepts of patriarchy as it carries a culture within the social setting and the social system which impacts on the injustices experienced by women. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The Namibian women and girl’s experience a number of issues that we can translate as challenges and these realities experienced has been generational of which over year’s reform have been key in advancing constitutional provisions of equality, non-discrimination and equity for all.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">It is however noticeable that Namibia has made great strides in amplifying gender equality in all forms by ensuring policy and legislative reform improves the social economic standards of women and girls. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">These realties have been advocated by the activists and the women’s movement of which we continue to advance issues such as eradication of poverty, access and improvement of education and training, access to land-housing, access to justice, political participation, improved policy and legislative frameworks that promotes bodily autonomy-protection and integrity, inequality in employment, harmful cultural practices, access economic market decision making and participation , lack of gender budgeting and consistent gender mainstreaming. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">These issues are prudent to ensuring all people’s human rights are recognised, respected and protected to ensure social justice is attained and socio-economic development <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">What are Namibian women and feminist concerns about?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">As mentioned above the realities and issues are key elements that shape the narrative that defines the women’s movement’s concerns. However just to contextualise these concerns in perpective of the current burning experiences…<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">We the women’s movement believe that government can do more to improve access to information by ensuring good governance, transparency and accountability by public service is a priority as this shall ensuring the reality of reform within the system and social setting is attained. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">The recognition of women and girls vulnerabilities to sexual and gender based violence, the exclusion and lack of recognition of sexual and gender diverse persons within service provisions, the need to redress the basis of macro-economic policies that favour men and boys at the expense of the other gender, the lack of comprehensive mental health care and social service , the lack of improved and strategic advancement of women and girls in policy influencing, lack of advancing access to justice for women and girls and the lack of women equal participation, representation and compensation of women in labour, Lack of recognition and improvement of women and girls mainstreaming in agricultural and technological development. And finally Namibia needs to commit to implement cross cutting gender budgeting and mainstreaming within in all departments of state, private and civil society. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;">What has been the biggest challenge for you as a feminist over the years. <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">As a feminist, human rights and communications activists it has been evident that transformational change and development requires intersectional dialogues and critical thinking. However, the advocacy work has proven that the social realities and system reforms still carry high practice of patriarchy of which directly impedes on the voice, representation and affirmation of women and girls. This consistently requires us as women’s rights activists to contain our resilience towards violations experienced based on one’s gender. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Working with women, girls and sexual minority groups have proven that the indivisibility of their humanity vs their challenges has manifested that a lot of community engagements, leadership engagement and visibility on key issues are streamed to ensure consistent dialogue and interrogation however self-censorship, cultural, political and ideological differences has always deflected humanitarian consideration on the issues in discussion. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">I have also realised that the objectification of women and girls remains a major challenge as power dynamics have override the autonomy and dignity of us. Furthermore, I find policy, legal reform and justice for women, girls and sexual and gender minorities redresses very slow as whilst our lives keep deteriorating due to the challenges that keeps piling up. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p><i><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></i></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">And finally there is a need to revive the women’s and girls’ movements in the country in order for us to set a collective national agenda that would be streamlined into action and direct tracking. Currently we have elements of activists and organisations advancing issues concerning our communities and the nation however as women to need to become strategic and bold in the what we envision to better our lives and the country we live in. This collectiveness should also encourage the women’s movement to engage the men’s movement in order for direct dialogue and partnerships to emerge by ensuring men do not fear feminists and understand that all men who seek reform, equality and justice for all part are with no doubt part of the feminist ideology and narrative of change. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">By: Linda Magano Baumann </span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">19 March 2021</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">20h48</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p><style class="WebKit-mso-list-quirks-style">

You smile and I tend to smile back </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Imagine me and you co-creating beyond expectation<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Knowing the hesitation held deep within as trust has been compromised<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
I sit and reflect on the days my friends and I would witness active shootings and as bullets fly - the power dynamic debated<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
I would see friends turn to enemies as words and actions are misunderstood<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
So I smile…exercising every bit of caution I can exert…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
You have taught me to pre- conceal my emotions and energy; to the point where only by the rush of my subconscious knowing peace – would I let you in<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
See many may say we walked the road together but I have long envisioned the day where you will bow to the resilience of my intellect<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
See understanding my will power would be a fallacy not known to many, for I use the courage and strength channelled through my spirit<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
As my spirit drives my inner being propelling my soul far beyond expression, emotion or even fear <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
My spirit guides me to strive for perfection in the midst of this imperfect world, trying not to lose myself to the misconceptions of reality.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
I see… I hear… I reflect, in the ways only I can truly show my resilience by dignifying myself Those around and connected to me and those who interpret my life as if they foresaw my destiny<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Living in a world- connecting my energy to those who inspire, intrigue and ignite the neurons in my brain, stimulating my interests and acknowledging the diversity surrounding me<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Distance separates us- not in literal terms however, I can elevate far beyond your aura<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Leaving me to hover over the pettiness of your resentment<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
So I smile back knowing I’ve reached a level far beyond your grasp<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
A level set and determined by the maturity which lies within our conversation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
I smile…. I smile back at YOU…<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
At times I forget about myself, not intentionally but at times life becomes my occupation - consuming most of my “me time”.<br />The cause is to big to set side at times…</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Creating opportunities for those I believe in motivates and drives my inner soul, misunderstood and maybe even misrepresented by ghouls.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I remain on the battlefield because it seems my war is far from over. So at times I forget about myself as I fight for those no one cares to consider. Working tirelessly to see us do right by those we believe in. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It becomes selfish of me to walk away and breathe for myself but by living this occupation I’ve learned that by knowing my inner self and knowing my own demons – it requires me to take time and remember where I was and where I am headed because my passion fuels me- setting a fire so strong it will burn forever.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Who am I? you ask – “Only I know my Truth”</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
As Namibians we should learn to stop being hypocritical in our actions. Our interactions, struggles and realities carries commonalities with of cause unique experiences. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We are all care taker and leaders in our own capacities thus denouncing / character assassination of others based on a lack of context and lack of direct dialogue clearly indicates a lack of consciousness to shaping and framing a cognitive engagement that would assist a national collective as we all carry our autonomous mandates.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In all our settings its imperative to note that agreeing to disagree is fundamental as that is the strength within agency and diversity. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I speak from a narrative of a journey I have co-crafted as every action we advance is for a broader agenda and today I endure consistent violations from institutions’ and individuals who ought to protect me and the people we serve. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It seems that if you do not agree to their autocratic and territorial aspirations then ones level of commitment and investment becomes a piggy bag filled with ammunition to denounce you as non are able to level the understanding that leadership is not given and if a level of consciousness is not there, then surely such acts of micro managing people capacity of thinking, dreaming and association is limited. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
There has been a trend over the couple of years by organised individuals and entities to mark out my presence though I have not been phased as I am consciously remaining in my lane as non could uplift and or live up to the principles of justice in order validate their position towards me. “I am still waiting”…</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
These individuals has made me realise that my lack of interest in their propaganda and their lack of growth into dialogue manifests that my distance triggers their wellbeing, my growth in development creates animosity and that they continue to fail to understand as surely the discourse is for all. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
These forces don't realise that in no way shall I again succumb to their bully tactics and distortion in decontextualising our realities. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
They believe you need to subscribe to affirm their insecurities over others and thus continue to manipulate and discredit others work as eve they don’t also have a lot to contribute. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As a young black woman, proudly living in the township of Katutura – I carry great wisdom as I have seen, learned and realized that in order to grow and become a better person- is to silently slip out of spaces that carries energies that blurs one’s vision because the discourse is always left behind as the characters and personalities of others who strive to shift grounds in their own settings become a great threat as they have become territorial. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Today I stand firm on my word of inviting these forces again to the table- for them to be honest with themselves and the movements we serve..</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
For them to confront me if need be so we reflect on the truthful experiences and realities that that they claim against me.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As a progressive intituitive person who carries vast experience in amplifying diversity and inter actions surely I should not be difficult to reach as I am just 10 digits away which they all surely have.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So if these forces can grow the inner strength to sit me down then surely I have the time to leisure on their ideological head spaces... </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Otherwise do not utilise spaces and persons to block my wellbeing and progress shashi aame Magano and if ya'll know the meaning of my name then surely the manifestation of it is that in no way will I ever waiver to stop with what I believe is the right thing to do. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I am sick and tired , my silence out your spaces and energies have had magnificent growth as I am protecting my innocence from the distortions echoed. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
My principles and values I shall never compromise just to belong as that is a clear violations in what I believe. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So I again extend an invitation to unpack their reservations towards me as Linda RM Baumann...</div>

</div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;">My name is Linda RM Baumann-</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Feminist, Human Rights and Communications Activist and the Strategic Coordinator – Namibia Diverse Women’s Association (NDWA). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<o:p><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Today I was tasked to speak </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;">on Operationalising Access to Information including Opportunities for Women and Girls in Namibia with clear linkages to the development of communications. I will be speaking from an activist lens and through that I would like to reflect on a few factors with a clear segmentation of attaining and affirming gender equality and equity for all. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</o:p></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<o:p><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The SDGs give clear recognition to Women and Girls as a vulnerable group, further strengthening the agenda by identifying key needs for specific interventions. However, the diversity which exists amongst women and girls remains under represented. This is as a result of many within the diversity spectrum of Women and girls not being recognised causing invisibility within the mainstreaming and integration of these interventions. In addition, rights are realised as key principles of equality and equity in a bid to enhance, affirm and be inclusive of the socio-economic development of all genders.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</o:p></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Reflecting on Women/Girls and the media: Focusing on online and offline Media; the access to information has been a factor over the years as women/girls were perceived to have minimal knowledge and skills which impeded on our performance however, there has been great transformation in ensuring women and girls have access to information as well as the full right to participate in education, political, cultural and socio-economic transformation.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">This has been through the manifestation of a level of fairness and accountability to ensuring women/girls understand their rights and can access information centrally. Nevertheless, this also carries great risks as the safety of women/girls within media has become a concern. Our level of interaction with media at times carries minimal safety and security mechanisms which would ensure all forms of intimidation, victimisation and discrimination are not experienced by the public or the institutions.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">With such experiences there is a need to strengthen institutional partnerships and alliances to advance a multi-lateral responsibility for structural advancement and responsible citizenry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">As an activist, when I continue to reflect on our current reality, it is key for us to look at the women and girls from a personal level – we need to assess how important access to information is and how that affects our lives at a social, political and cultural level however the structural element is a factor of dialogue that hardly takes place for women and girls to know the legislative and policy frameworks.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Realizing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls will make a crucial contribution to progress across all the goals and targets within the SDGs. The achievement of full human potential and of sustainable development is not possible if one half of humanity continues to be denied its full human rights and opportunities.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Earlier I had shared that there is a lack of recognition of diversity within the vulnerable group of Women and Girls. There is a need for us to deconstruct and aspire to have common </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;">understanding of the concepts of Gender Equality and of the inequalities within that very concept. As a nation we have not taken the time to interrogate concepts of sex, gender and gender minorities as these are key concepts to shaping our narrative of ensuring all diversities within Women and Girls are addressed so that all would have access to information and bodily autonomy. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<o:p><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Through that it is important to ensure Women and girls enjoy equal access to quality education, economic resources and political participation as well as equal opportunities with men and boys for employment, leadership and decision-making at all levels.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</o:p></span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Such investments shall increase to close the gender gap and strengthen support for institutions in relation to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls at a national, regional and international level.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Finally, it is imperative that we all know what the identity and expressions of women/girls are, through identifying these we could strengthen the common issues and needs by ensuring our participation and representation in different forums as we collectively work towards transformational development and affirming our own narratives.</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">All forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls will be eliminated only when we include and engage with men and boys. The systematic mainstreaming of a gender perspective in the implementation of our</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Agenda is crucial</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<o:p><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">In order to ensure that all women and girls have access to information and uses the information at a personal, professional and community level it is prudent for us to ensure gender equality is a lived reality and not a reality that represents gender equality as a tick box of a number that strikes a reflection of gender balance.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The time has come for us all to be gender responsive in all our</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">work as that lens of engagement would advance equal access and equity for us as women and girls to continue to empower, represent ourselves through structural and social inequalities by being gender transformative. And through using a gender responsive framework, transformation and consciousness shall strengthen the operationalization and opportunity of having access to information.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>

Raising children as an out and self-identifying lesbian is an ongoing rollercoaster ride. Many carry a perception that your children are not in a good home environment or that your children would and are being groomed to be homosexual as well. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Over the years I have raised beautiful children who had to face bullying at school because of my identity and expression in appearance. I could see the pain in my children’s eyes from their lived experiences at school. <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">As painful as it was for me as well l– I carried a responsibility to ensure that they know that I remain their mother and that nothing that any one says should change their opinions and values of how they have been raised. </span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I remember when my son was in high school, in his class was a boy who was perceived gay and accused of being too feminine- the boy was bullied throughout and every now and then my son felt great offence on his behalf; until this one day when he unexpectedly stood up for him. The teacher called me to the school because of this incident she explained what had happened and said “Ms. Baumann – As you are aware your son is one of our best learners and today there was an incident in class and personally as the class teacher we have never heard and or seen your son voice himself the way he did- he literally defended his class mate who is teased for being gay” he told his class mates off that day and ensured that no one ever challenges his class mate. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So in reference of this story, my children had to and still do fight battles on my behalf as I am seen as their lesbian parent while also having to protect all others as the language and understanding regarding issues of SOGIESC is a common discussion within our bonding moments. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Furthermore my children faced different levels of stigma and received labels of assumptions just because they have a parent who is homosexual and equally members of the LGBT movement have approached them in the hope that they are queer like me. Such attitudes and mind sets need to be deconstructed to ensure that there is a common understanding attained by ensuring assumptions such as these are eliminated as it can and may lead to a greater offence and be seen as discrimination. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Today I am a proud MOTHER who can take exclusive pride when I see my son raising his own child with the same strong principles, values which are filled with love and care. The bond of their love and the time spent with each other makes me realise that I have raised a man from a boy. A man who is clear of what he wants in life and with such a focused head space- he continues to be the beacon of his own offspring. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I believe that the Lord and my ancestors remain our total strength and guidance to cultivating the future of our own off-springs and family bond. He is my Son and I believe my late sister Nancy Baumann looks upon us and continues to bless us as she is proud of her own Carlos just as I am.</div>

I find it challenging to respond to emails from Namibian LGBT persons seeking Asylum abroad... If it is not the individual then it is the local agencies... </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Over the few months more the 7 applications of request to motivate that our lives as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender is in danger and that our lives face brutality from the police, State and families... Now this is completely not the realities we are faced with...</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
How do I support such if we are aware of the existe<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">nce homophobia, biphobia and transphobia but surely not the rife image put out there... </span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Why are many of us remaining in the country and doing work within our communities and with state? People do not use our moffieness for self gain... Let those realities experienced not be the detriment that casts us all in one bucket... </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
May I also ask that those leaders leading LGBT organisations to remain ethical in their support letters and not misrepresent our issues for the sake of opportunists. As for me when I respond I cast the truth as a Proud Namibian Moffie.</div>

The unspoken realities<br />Realities which have come to validate my experiences<br />Experiences faced each day yet remain shelved<br /><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">Shelved in order to avoid being judged and or rejected</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"> </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">Rejection that keeps one caged right back into those unspoken realities</span>Realities which turn to suffocate ones well-being<br />A well-being that is needed to level inner peace<br />
<br />What then is stopping me from expressing true peace?<br />
Fear? Fear might be the one thing stopping us from truly speaking to our reality<br />Holding me hostage, knowing that only I have the key to set myself free<br />
<br />My experiences have come to dictate my expressions and my expressions reveal a story so confusing, the light inside my eyes shine right at the pain deep inside. However freedom from these chains depends only on me for yes only I carry the key to my inner peace..<br />

<div style="font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Being Stalked and or Targeted... I am not sure how to translate this action of my experience TODAY. Yesterday whilst attending my son’s Debutant Dance upon returning to my car and getting ready to drive I realized the steering wheel feels heavy and the wheels moving heavier. I get out of the car and see that my right front wheel is flat- which was odd of cause. And upon seeking aid to just change the wheel, I realize that my left back wheel is also flat. In that moment we had<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"> to leave the car right there as there was only one spare wheel and not to mention it was late, so we returned home. </span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Today when the wheels were inspected we realized that the car's wheels were stabbed with a knife which basically means this particular individual(s) had the time to walk from the front right wheel to the left back wheel unless otherwise done… Now that was a meditated action as there were so many cars parked all over the church hall but my car was the target. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
This evening whilst getting some items from the shop, I drove off from the shopping centre and as all drivers do – keeping my eyes on the mirrors. Whilst driving I notice this white corolla with tinted windows- no number plate that was driving behind me since I left the shopping centre, then it got closer to my car. The next moment, this car was driving so close that I had to drive towards the edge of the lane as they literally tried getting me off the road. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
In that moment I panicked but tried to keep calm. I held on to my steering wheel to keep on the road and just decided there is no way I am pulling off or being pushed off the road to crash into something, I kept straight on the road however I reacted by threatening to push back with my wheel which at least got the other car to move away a little - that didn't stop them however, so I hooted and drove off. </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Sitting here, reflecting on it – makes me realise that this is no different from what I was experiencing during 2015-2016 when I used to be stalked or tracked by different vehicles which always had tinted windows, I remember always experiencing two particular cars that always drove behind me, I remember how I returned to my car one day and found a line drawn into the body paint from one door to the other and a message written “fokken moffie- jou bek", I remember my phone giving signs of being tapped, I remember so much that I ask myself WTF and WHY!!! My oblivious reaction to this experience is calling me to finally be more assertive. I do not want to label why however I wish to understand why this has been happening...</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Embarking on a journey hidden deep within it, all trying to rediscover love for myself- Pain was portrayed a side reality which only I can repaint to create a colourful utopia- <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A world where misty mornings and cooler nights soothe me – I realised that happiness relies on me knowing every inch of my body, a lust for pleasure develops as I ponder how well I really know me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I undress myself figuratively, I like it better when I’m naked, thoughts of touching myself all over – caress my body and don’t overlook an inch as I instruct you to bow down and submit to my pussy – fantasize with me and find my clit, dive right in and start licking – don’t stop until I scream.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See my body shout all these commands and with the ejaculation present between my thighs I know what pleasures me as I further imagine you to go inside- <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Faster… More- don’t forget to keep your eyes on me - moans enter my mouth as I feel you deep inside me, a feeling I can’t resist as all I want is to let go soaking wet I feel you pausing deep inside. My body shivers as I gasp for air screaming your name a fire so intense and full of heat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know where every switch of my body resides- I understand my body as I figuratively explore my expressions and inner identity because the boundaries that are – have kept me hostage and imprisoned me for so long.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In reflection if gender representation is a feasible notion, I should say that Namibia has indeed progressed over the years with striking a balance in reaching 50/50 by enacting 50/50 alternating list. Within the political fraternity credit needs to be given to the ruling party SWAPO who made an in house political decision to ensure women recognition in politics is attained and advanced. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB"><div style="text-align: justify;">
I would however want to further the discussion beyond the recognition in representation as equality and equity are key factors to reflect on within this developmental agenda of gender parity and socio-economic development of all women. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB"><div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s evident that the extended discussion of deconstructing gender has not progressed thus it is questionable whether the 50/50 list is just not a list fill up as its evident that the broad narrative and concepts of women’s issues are not holistically understood to ensure women in leadership should able to withstand notions of patriarchy and misogyny as their role in parliament and key political positions are instrumental to the overall wellbeing of women in Namibia. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The survey done amplifies the progress we have in the country yet also clearly indicates that there is a high level of cultural and traditional representation of how men view women and that they (men) still believe that it’s better for women to take care of the children and home- that indicator says a lot of where we still are socially as a country. As a nation we need to interrogate within the framework of equality and equity what the following concepts mean for us in development and that to unpack narratives such as gender equality, gender balance, gender empowerment, gender responsive and gender transformation as these are key factors for development.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><span lang="EN-GB"><div style="text-align: justify;">
I believe it’s time that the women’s movement is rived in the country as back in the days of 2007 we had a very vibrant, proactive and collective women’s movement that ensured social and legislative transformation is experienced, lived and realised by all women. </div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Today
marks the 1<sup>st</sup> year that I am not waking up next to my son and
holding him to remind him of another year added on his age. He turned 6
years old and it gets me to reflect on the journey we have walked thus far…
Being a parent to a child has not been an easy journey and especially having a
day to day responsibility knowing he depends on me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I have
come this far with all the comments, questions and reflections received from
people out there about how a lesbian woman can be a mother to a child. Being a
mother is not only reflectional of the overall womb expression however being a
mom narrates a completely different reality of what a child deserves to have at
all times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I have
come this far in raising children who are so beautiful and respectful to
themselves and their surroundings that I commit to continue giving you the same
values and a better life as you grow through this world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I remember
how on impulse I had to make up a song for you, a song that- until today is so
dear to you, to me and everyone else who seeks to grab your attention</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I remember

arrival from where ever</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I remember
how you made up your own mobile number and when asked what your cell phone
number was– you would say 081 249… and today you are able to share mommy’s
number by heart. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I see how he looks at me
from the corner of his eye<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I can feel his breath so
close to my neck, goosebumps start to show<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">My mind races my heart
every moment that passes<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Confronting me endlessly
about pointless scenarios not designed to be questionable<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">His insecurities have a
way of showing its ugly spirit however that doesn’t make him a bad man<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I understand his character
and yes he gets out of hand at times but…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I know he loves the being
within me that I am too afraid to love<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I know he adores me as the
only one he wants<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I am special to him and
that creates fear, unquestionable fear “that the one you love is bound to walk
out on you”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We’ve come a long way and
he has become calmer as time goes, he still likes to keep me to himself<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“A treasure like no other-
a treasure I cannot keep out of my sight for the pirates might steal my
beautiful treasure” he says<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I believe him, though the
people around me see it different, I believe him<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The bruises stop mattering
after a while you know, they become embedded within my skin- apart of me
actually<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Bruises are who I am – or
not? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I too carry fear- fear
that one day I won’t be able to stop him, fear that one day he wont listen to
me when I yell out to him to stop and that I’m sorry <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">But my biggest fear is
that I wont be able to wake myself up from this nightmare in time…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
