Kusekuseni ngeSonto libalele, futhi ngizungezwe abesifazane baseNdiya abagqoke ama-sari, i-spandex, namashubhu oqhoqhoqho. Bonke balangazelele ukungibamba ngesandla lapho sihamba, nokungitshela konke ngohambo lwabo lomdlavuza nangemikhuba yabo yokusebenza.
Unyaka nonyaka, iqembu labasindile kumdlavuza lihamba ndawonye likhuphuka izitebhisi zamatshe nezindlela zobhuqu liye phezulu eNandi Hills, ihlathi lasendulo lamagquma emaphethelweni edolobha lakubo, iBanaglore, eNdiya, ukuhlanganyela izindaba zabo zomdlavuza nalo lonke iqembu. "Ukugibela kwabasindile" kuyisiko okuhloswe ngalo ukuhlonipha abasinde emdlavuza namalungu omndeni wabo abakha umphakathi ogijimayo wesekethe enkulu yomjaho wabesifazane kuphela e-Pinkathon-India (3K, 5K, 10K, kanye ne-half marathon) -njengoba iqhubeka. emjahweni wayo waminyaka yonke. Njengentatheli yaseMelika enentshisekelo yokufunda ngePinkathon, ngizizwa nginenhlanhla ukwamukelwa ohambweni.
Kodwa manje, ngizizwa ngincipha njengentatheli futhi ngifana nowesifazane, umuntu wesifazane, nomuntu oshonelwe umngane wakhe omkhulu ngenxa yomdlavuza. Izinyembezi zehla ebusweni bami njengoba ngilalele owesifazane oyedwa, uPriya Pai, elwela ukuphuma nendaba yakhe phakathi kokukhala.
"Njalo ngenyanga ngangiya kudokotela wami ngikhala ngezimpawu ezintsha futhi babethi, 'Le ntombazane iyahlanya,'" kukhumbula ummeli oneminyaka engu-35. "Babecabanga ukuthi nginehaba futhi ngifuna ukunakwa. Udokotela watshela umyeni wami ukuthi akakhiphe i-Intanethi kwikhompyutha yethu ukuze ngiyeke ukubheka phezulu bese ngidala izimpawu."
Kuthathe iminyaka emithathu nohhafu ngemuva kokuqala ukuya kodokotela bakhe ngokukhathala okuqeda amandla, izinhlungu zesisu, nesitokisi esimnyama ukuze odokotela bagcine bemxilonga ngomdlavuza wamathumbu.
Futhi lapho ukutholakala kokutholakala kokuhlinzwa okungaphezu kweshumi nambili-kwafika ngo-2013, "abantu bathi ngiqalekisiwe," kusho uPai. "Abantu bathi ubaba wami, owayengasekeli umshado wami noPavan, wayengithuke ngomdlavuza."
Umnyakazo Wabasindile Emdlavuzeni ENdiya
Ukungakholwa, ukuxilonga okubambezelekile, kanye namahloni omphakathi: Kuyitimu engizizwa enanela kaningi phakathi nesikhathi sami sokucwiliswa emphakathini wasePinkathon.
I-Pinkathon ayiyona nje inqwaba yezinhlanga zabesifazane kuphela, phela. Futhi kuwumphakathi osebenzayo obumbene ophakamisa ukuqwashisa ngomdlavuza futhi ophokophele ukuguqula abesifazane babe ngabameli babo bezempilo abangcono kakhulu, abanezinhlelo zokuqeqesha eziphelele, imiphakathi yezokuxhumana, ukuhlangana masonto onke, izinkulumo ezivela kodokotela nabanye ochwepheshe futhi, yebo, ukunyuka kwabasindile. Lo muzwa wokusekelwa komphakathi nokuxhaswa okungenamibandela kubalulekile kwabesifazane baseNdiya.
Nakuba, ekugcineni, umgomo we-Pinkathon uwukwandisa impilo yabesifazane engxoxweni kazwelonke, kwabanye besifazane abafana noPai, umphakathi wasePinkathon uyindawo yabo yokuqala nephephile yokusho igama elithi "umdlavuza." Yebo, impela.
Isifo Somdlavuza Esingakhulunywa saseNdiya
Ukukhulisa izingxoxo ngomdlavuza eNdiya kubaluleke kakhulu. Ngo-2020, i-India-izwe lapho ingxenye enkulu yabantu ihlwempu, ingafundile, futhi ihlala emaphandleni noma emijondolo ngaphandle kwezempilo-izoba yikhaya leziguli ezinhlanu zomdlavuza emhlabeni. Kodwa-ke, ngaphezu kwesigamu sabesifazane baseNdiya abaneminyaka engu-15 kuya kwengu-70 abazi ukuthi yini engcupheni yomdlavuza webele, uhlobo lomdlavuza oluvame kakhulu eNdiya. Kungakho ingxenye yabesifazane abatholakala benalesi sifo eNdiya beshona. (E-United States, lelo nani lihlala cishe koyedwa kwabayisithupha.) Ochwepheshe bakholelwa nokuthi ingxenye enkulu-uma kungenjalo iningi lamacala omdlavuza awatholakali. Abantu babulawa umdlavuza bengazi nokuthi banawo, bengenalo ithuba lokufuna ukwelashwa.
"Amacala angaphezu kwesigamu engiwabonayo asesigabeni sesithathu," kusho udokotela oholayo we-oncologist waseNdiya u-Kodaganur S. Gopinath, umsunguli we-Bangalore Institute of Oncology kanye nomqondisi we-Healthcare Global Enterprise, umhlinzeki omkhulu we-India wokunakekelwa komdlavuza. "Ubuhlungu kaningi abulona uphawu lokuqala, futhi uma kungekho buhlungu, abantu bathi, 'Kungani kufanele ngiye kudokotela?'" Uphawula ukuthi izindlela ezijwayelekile zokuhlolwa komdlavuza wabesifazane ezinjengePap smears nama-mammograms azijwayelekile neze. Lokho kungenxa yakho kokubili izinkinga zezimali kanye nenkinga enkulu yamasiko.
Pho kungani abantu, ikakhulukazi abesifazane, khuluma ngomdlavuza? Abanye banamahloni okuxoxa ngemizimba yabo namalungu omndeni noma odokotela. Abanye bangancamela ukufa kunomthwalo noma ukuhlazisa imikhaya yabo. Isibonelo, ngenkathi i-Pinkathon ihlinzeka bonke ababambiqhaza bayo ukuhlolwa kwezempilo kwamahhala kanye ne-mammograms, amaphesenti angu-2 kuphela ababhalisile abasebenzisa leli thuba. Isiko labo lifundise abesifazane ukuthi babaluleke kakhulu ezindimeni zabo njengomama nabafazi, nokuthi ukuzibeka eqhulwini akusikho ukuzicabangela nje kuphela, kuyihlazo.
Okwamanje, abesifazane abaningi abafuni ukwazi nje ukuthi banomdlavuza, ngoba ukuxilongwa kungonakalisa amathuba amadodakazi abo okushada. Uma owesifazane esebhalwe ukuthi unomdlavuza, wonke umndeni wakhe ungcolile.
Labo besifazane aba yenza bazikhuthaze bona bathole ukuxilongwa okufanele-futhi, ngemuva kwalokho, babhekane nezithiyo ezibabazekayo. Endabeni kaPai, ukuthola ukwelashwa komdlavuza kwakusho ukonga imali yakhe nomyeni wakhe. (Lo mbhangqwana wakhipha izinzuzo zomshuwalense wezempilo ezihlinzekwa yizinhlelo zabo zombili zokumnakekela, kepha ngaphansi kwamaphesenti angama-20 wezwe anoma yiluphi uhlobo lomshuwalense wezempilo, ngokusho kweNational Health Profile 2015.)
Futhi lapho umyeni wakhe eya kubazali bakhe (abahlala nabashadikazi, njengokujwayelekile eNdiya), batshela umyeni wakhe ukuthi kufanele abeke imali yakhe, ayeke ukwelashwa, futhi aphinde ashade ngemuva kwalokho obekungaba ukufa kwakhe okuseduze.
Ngokwesiko, kucatshangwa ukuthi kunezinto ezingcono kakhulu ongazisebenzisa imali yakho kunezempilo yowesifazane.
Lapho Umugqa Wokuqeda Uyisiqalo Nje
ENdiya, le nhlamba ezungeze impilo yomama kanye nomdlavuza idluliselwe ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane. Kungakho uPai nomyeni wakhe, uPavan, basebenze kanzima ukufundisa indodana yabo eneminyaka eyisithupha manje, uPradhan, ukuthi bakhule babe nobambiswano lwabesifazane. Phela uPradhan nguyena owahudulela uPai ewodini lezimo eziphuthumayo ngo-2013 ngemuva kokuwa egaraji lokupaka esibhedlela. Futhi lapho abazali bakhe bengakwazanga ukwenza omunye wemikhosi yakhe yemiklomelo yesikole ngoba uPai wayehlinzwa ngaleso sikhathi, wasukuma esiteji phambi kwesikole sakhe sonke wabatshela ukuthi wayehlinzwa ngomdlavuza. Wayeziqhenya ngomama wakhe.
Kungakapheli unyaka, ekuseni ngoJanuwari okufudumele, isonto ngemuva kokunyuka kwabasindile, uPradhan umi entanjeni esePavan, emamatheka ngendlebe, ehalalisa njengoba umama wakhe eqeda iBangalore Pinkathon 5K.
Emndenini, umzuzu uwuphawu olubalulekile lwabo konke abanqobe ndawonye - nakho konke abangakwenzela abanye ngePinkathon.
