Ngiyakhuthazwa isu lamasosha lokubhekana Nodlame Olubhekiswe Kwabesifazane Namantombazane (VAWG), eliqaphela umthelela wokuziphatha okuphoqelelayo nokulawula kanye nokubaluleka kokuqinisekisa ukuthi inqubomgomo kanye nokwenza kwaziswa yilabo abanolwazi lwangempela. Ubambiswano luka-Surrey lwe-DA Strategy 2018-23 lusekelwe endleleni yoSizo Lwabesifazane Oluhlala njalo, ebesiyindawo yokuhlola kuzwelonke futhi isu le-VAWG lamaphoyisa ase-Surrey liyaqhubeka nokwakhela phezu kokwenza okuhle okubonwayo.
Ngicele uConstable Omkhulu ukuthi aphendule, ikakhulukazi mayelana nezincomo ezenziwe embikweni. Impendulo yakhe imi kanje:
Siyawamukela umbiko we-HMICFRS wezi-2021 mayelana Nokuhlolwa Kokusebenzelana Kwamaphoyisa Nabesifazane Namantombazane. Njengoba elinye lamaphoyisa amane elihlolile samukele ukubuyekezwa kwendlela yethu entsha futhi siye sazuza empendulweni kanye nemibono ngomsebenzi wethu wangaphambi kwesikhathi wesu lethu Lokuhlukumeza Kwabesifazane Namantombazane (VAWG). Amaphoyisa ase-Surrey athatha indlela entsha yokusungula isu elisha le-VAWG ngokubambisana kwethu okubanzi okuhlanganisa nezinsizakalo zokufinyelela, iziphathimandla zendawo kanye ne-OPCC kanye namaqembu omphakathi. Lokhu kwakha uhlaka lwesu ezindaweni ezimbalwa okugxilwe kuzo okuhlanganisa ukuhlukunyezwa kwasekhaya, ukudlwengula namacala ocansi abucayi, ukuhlukunyezwa kontanga ezikoleni kanye Nemikhuba Yendabuko Eyingozi efana nalokho okuthiwa ukuhlukunyezwa okusekelwe ekuhlonipheni. Inhloso yalolu hlaka ukwakha indlela yohlelo lonke futhi siguqule ukugxila kwethu kuleyo ekhuthaziwe eyaziswa abasindile kanye nalabo abanolwazi oluphilayo. Le mpendulo ihlanganisa izindawo ezintathu zokuncoma kumbiko Wokuhlola we-HMICFRS.
UConstable Omkhulu uchaze ngaphambilini ngezinyathelo ezithathwayo ngokumelene nesincomo ngasinye, okufakwe empendulweni yami embikweni wesikhashana ovela ku-HMICFRS ngoJulayi.
Ngokuzinikezela ukwenza ikusasa liphephe, ngenza udlame olubhekiswe kwabesifazane namantombazane (VAWG) lube yinto ebaluleke kakhulu ohlelweni lwami lwamaphoyisa nobugebengu. Ngokubona ukuthi ukubhekana ne-VAWG akuwona umsebenzi wamaphoyisa kuphela, ngizosebenzisa amandla ami okuhlangana ukuze ngisebenze nabo bonke ozakwethu ukukhulisa ukuphepha e-Surrey.
Sonke sineqhaza ekuthuthukiseni umphakathi lapho lobu bugebengu bungasabekezelelwa futhi abantu abasha bangakhula benempilo futhi bejabule, benezifiso nezindinganiso ezibasiza ukuba babone ukuthi yini eyamukelekayo nengamukeleki.
Ngiyakhuthazwa isu elisha le-VAWG elithuthukiswe ngamaphoyisa ase-Surrey ngokusebenzisa indlela yokusebenzisana, nomkhakha wabesifazane namantombazane abangochwepheshe kanye nabesifazane abanekhono lezamasiko abadlala indima ebalulekile enqubeni eseyenziwe.
Ngizocubungulisisa amaphoyisa ukuze aqaphe umthelela wezinguquko azenzayo endleleni yawo ye-VAWG. Ngikholwa ukuthi ukugxila okungapheli kubenzi bobubi kuzohlomula ekutshalweni kwezimali kochwepheshe bokungenelela okwenziwa yihhovisi lami okunikeza abenzi bobubi ithuba lokushintsha ukuziphatha kwabo, noma ukuzwa amandla omthetho ngokugcwele uma bengakwenzi.
Ngizoqhubeka nokuvikela izisulu ngokugunyazwa kochwepheshe bezobulili kanye nezinsizakalo ezinolwazi ngokuhlukumezeka futhi ngizibophezele ekwesekeni Amaphoyisa ase-Surrey ekuthuthukiseni umkhuba nezimiso ezihambisana nokuhlukumezeka emsebenzini wawo wonke.
