Feminist/Womanist/Bosadi theorisations

It is often stated that the most disrespected person in society is the black woman. The most unprotected person is a black woman. This is why mainstream/Western feminism is not enough, there is a need for intersectionality - feminism that protects all, regardless of one's race, gender identity or capabilities.

Bosadi is a theory for the context of black South African women encompassing racial oppression, sexist African culture, classism as well as general sexism. It is crucial for the university to focus on this field of research and studies.

In the College of Human Sciences, the Institute for Gender Studies conducts interdisciplinary research into eliminating gender-based violence, homophobia and transphobia, and discrimination against women in the workplace and the political arena. The institute also uses education about gender as an effective way to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women.

The College of Education is renowned for engaged scholarship endeavours regarding this niche area that have led to, among others, publications on widowhood by academic staff members. The Graduate School of Business Leadership offers a short learning programme on Women in Leadership.

Imibono egxile kwabesifazane/Bosadi

Kuyaye kuthiwe umuntu ongahlonishwa kakhulu emphakathini ngowesifazane omnyama. Umuntu ongavikelekile kakhulu ngowesifazane omnyama. Yingakho ubufazane obujwayelekile/baseNtshonalanga bungenele, kunesidingo sokuhlangana - ubufazane obuvikela bonke, kungakhathaliseki uhlanga lomuntu, ubulili noma amakhono.

I-Bosadi umbono wengqikithi yabesifazane abamnyama baseNingizimu Afrika ehlanganisa ukucindezelwa ngokobuhlanga, isiko lama-Afrika acwasa ngokobulili, ukuhlukaniswa ngokwezigaba kanye nokucwasa ngokobulili nje jikelele. Kubalulekile ukuthi imfundo ephakeme igxile kulo mkhakha wocwaningo nezifundo.

EKolishi Lesayensi Yesintu, Isikhungo Sezifundo Zobulili yenza ucwaningo lwezinhlaka ezahlukene ukuze kuqedwe udlame olusekelwe kubulili, ukuzonda abantu abathandana nabantu bobulili obufanayo kanye nabanobulili obuhlukile kulobu bemvelo yabo, kanye nokucwaswa kwabesifazane emsebenzini nasezinkundleni zezombusazwe. Lesi sikhungo siphinde sisebenzisa imfundo ngobulili njengendlela ephumelelayo yokuzuza ukulingana ngokobulili kanye nokufukula abesifazane.

IKolishi Lezemfundo lidume ngemizamo yokufundisa ephathelene nale ndawo yesingqalasizinda eholela, phakathi kokunye, ekushicilelweni ngobufelokazi ngabasebenzi bezemfundo. Isikole Seziqu Zobuholi Bebhizinisi sihlinzeka ngohlelo lokufunda olufushane ngabesifazane Ebuholini

Feministiese, swart feministiese en bosadi-teoretisering

Die swart vrou word dikwels beskryf as die persoon wat die minste respek in die samelewing geniet. Die swart vrou is die mees weerlose persoon. Dit is waarom hoofstroomfeminisme/Westerse feminisme nie voldoende is nie; daar is ’n behoefte aan interseksionaliteit, met ander woorde, feminisme wat almal beskerm, ongeag ’n persoon se ras, genderidentiteit of vermoëns.

Bosadi is ’n teorie vir die konteks van swart Suid-Afrikaanse vroue wat met rasse-onderdrukking, seksistiese Afrika-kultuur, klassediskriminasie en algemene seksisme gemoeid is. Dit is van die uiterste belang dat die universiteit op hierdie navorsings- en studieveld fokus.

Die Instituut vir Geslagstudies (Institute for Gender Studies) in die Kollege vir Menswetenskappe (College of Human Sciences) doen interdissiplinêre navorsing ter ondersteuning van die uitwissing van geslagsgebaseerde geweld, homofobie, transfobie en diskriminasie teen vroue in die werkplek en die politieke arena. Die instituut gebruik ook opvoeding oor geslagtelikheid as ’n doeltreffende manier om geslagsgelykheid en die bemagtiging van vroue te bevorder.

Die Kollege vir Opvoedkunde (College of Education) is bekend vir betrokke vakkundigheid in hierdie nisarea wat tot, onder meer, die verskyning van publikasies oor weduweeskap gelei het. Die Nagraadse Skool vir Besigheidsleierskap (Graduate School of Business Leadership) bied ’n kort leerprogram oor vroue in leierskapsposisies.
