I ka makahiki 29 wale nō, ho'āʻo ʻo Pepa (he inoa fictitious nāna i koho) e "pani i nā mea a pau e pili ana iaʻu." Ua loaʻa iā ia kahi male male a mālama i kāna mau keiki ʻelua, akā ʻaʻole maʻalahi ke ala. I kekahi kakahiaka ua haʻalele ʻo ia i ka home ʻohana. ʻElima mahina hāpai a me kāna keiki kāne hoʻokahi a me ka hapa makahiki, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia ma hope o ka pō i lilo ai ka ʻōlelo hōʻeha i ke kino. No laila ua hoʻopau ʻo ia i ʻehiku mau makahiki o ka pilina a ʻo nā mahina mua ʻekolu wale nō i mālama ʻia. "Ua hōʻino maiʻo ia iaʻu, hoʻohaʻahaʻa iaʻu, pale iaʻu mai ka hanaʻana i mau hoaaloha, aia wale lākou no ia ...", haʻiʻo ia iā ABC ma ke keʻena nui o RedMadre ma Valladolid, kahi i loaʻa ai iā ia ke kōkua no kāna mau keiki a, ma luna o nā mea a pau, ke kākoʻo kanaka. Ua hōʻike ʻo Pepa, no Romanian, i ke ʻano o kēlā lā i pakele ai, a ʻoi aku ka hala o hoʻokahi makahiki, ua hoʻomaka ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻumikūmālua, akā i kēia manawa me ka hoʻomāinoino kino. "Ua makaʻu wau," ʻae ʻo ia, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka haʻalele ʻana o kāna kāne iā ia me ke kālā ʻole a me ke kelepona ʻole. "I ke kakahiaka aʻe e hele ana au i ʻehā a ʻelima mau hola a puni ke kūlanakauhale a ua hoʻopau wau i ka hele ʻana i ka hale mākaʻi. Ua maopopo loa ʻo ia ʻaʻole makemake e hoʻi, akā ʻino loa. Haʻi ʻo ia i kāna moʻolelo me ka mālie, me ke ʻano o ka ʻōlelo Paniolo i ka waiwai o kāna mau huaʻōlelo a me kāna leo ʻōlelo haole. “Ua aʻo au i ka ʻōlelo ʻoiai e hana ana i ka mālama keiki; ua aʻo mai lākou iaʻu," wahi āna me ka liʻiliʻi o kona mau lima ākea. "He mea maikaʻi kēia i ʻoi aku ka mālie no ka mea ʻaʻole i pau ka ʻelemakule," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia i ka nānā ʻana iā ia e holo aʻe a hōʻike ʻia, ma ka ʻelua a me ka hapa makahiki, ua like ʻo ia me kona makuahine. ʻO kahi keiki hauʻoli i ʻike ʻole i ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i nā mahina ʻelua āna i noho ai me kona makuahine i loko o ke kikowaena pilikia, kahi i hoʻokipa ʻia ai ʻo Pepa ma hope o ka hōʻino ʻana i kāna kāne - nona kahi kauoha kaohi - a noho maoli ma ke alanui. ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka hoʻoholo ʻana. No kēia, ʻo ke kākoʻo o ka pale keiki ma ke kikowaena olakino ʻo Valladolid kahi i hele ai e nānā i kāna hāpai ʻana he mea nui. ʻO ia ka mea i ʻike, mai kona ʻano haʻahaʻa o ka noʻonoʻo, aia kekahi mea. Ua hoʻoikaika ka ʻoihana olakino i ka protocol a, ma kēia ʻano, hāʻawi iā Pepa i ke koi e pono ai ʻo ia e haʻalele i ke ʻano o ka hoʻomāinoino sexist āna i noho ai. "Ua hana ʻo ia iaʻu e manaʻoʻiʻo ua hana hewa wau i nā mea āpau" "Ma ke kikowaena pilikia, ua hāʻawi kahi psychologist iā ʻoe a ʻo ka mea mua a lākou i nīnau ai iā ia inā he pupule wau," hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia. ʻO kēia ka hopena o nā makahiki "o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana iaʻu ua hana hewa wau i nā mea āpau, he mea ʻole wau", kahi i hele mai ai ʻo Pepa e hoʻokomo i nā kūlana he nui e like me ka mea maʻamau. "Ua ulu aʻe māua me kaʻu kāne me ka ʻole o nā mākua, no laila ua manaʻo wau ua like ia me ia," wahi āna i kanikau ai, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka wā i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, ma kona ʻāina hānau, ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau ka waiho ʻana o nā wahine i kā lākou kāne. "Ua uwē mai ʻoe iaʻu ma ke ʻano he ʻōpio hoʻolohe," wahi āna. Akā, mai ke kikowaena pilikia, kahi āna i noho ai me nā kūlana pilikino paʻakikī loa, ua noho ʻo ia ma ka malu o ka papahana 'Nueva Esperanza', ʻo Cáritas. Ma laila i hānau ʻia ai ka lua o kāna mau keiki. "ʻO koʻu ʻohana lākou: nā kumu aʻo, nā mea kōkua ... hele pū lākou me ʻoe i nā mea āpau," wahi āna me ka mahalo. Mai ka pepa a hiki i nā hihia pili kānāwai a i ʻole, ʻo ka hōʻoia ʻana o ke kēkelē Baccalaureate i loaʻa iā ia ma kona ʻāina a hiki iā ia ke hana i kahi kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻoihana e hoʻomākaukau ai ʻo ia e hiki ke hana i ke "kōkua i nā wahine ʻē aʻe e hele. no kēia mau ʻano kūlana." ʻO ka poʻe makemake e kōkua I kēia manawa, nānāʻo ia i ka wā e hiki mai ana a hāʻawi iā ia iho i kāna mau keiki ma kēiaʻano "hiki iāʻoe ke hāʻawi no ka mea maikaʻi nā kānaka i ka hui." Ua ʻike ʻo ia "he manawa lua ia; Ua hānau hou au" a pili ʻo ia iā ia me kona ikaika a pau no ka mea "hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo no ʻoe iho, ʻai ʻoe i ka honua". ʻAʻole ʻo ia i nā lā marathon e hoʻokuʻikahi ai i ke kula me ka mālama ʻana i ʻelua mau keiki liʻiliʻi loa i kumu i kona hoʻopiʻi ʻana: "ʻAʻole au i luhi no ka mea ua mālie wau a ua maluhia wau." Ua kokoke ʻo ia e neʻe me kāna mau keiki liʻiliʻi i kahi hale noho o ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā o Valladolid, kahi kumu hou no ka mahalo.
