> INVADING THE PRIVATE LIFE OF GAMBIAN WOMEN
>
> By Suntou Bolonba Touray
> The dignity, reputation and self-respect of women need preserving. A key
> determinant in gaining an air of respect and nobility all across the world
> for women is associated with their dignity. Societies like that of ours
> still lay enormous emphasis on a woman’s chastity and manners. To attribute
> remotely any form of infidelity and casual indulgence in affairs outside
> marriage is not a small attack on a woman’s personality alone, but all those
> who associate and are related with such woman.
> The scriptures warn the faithful to avoid accusing women of infidelity and
> lacking self-control. The warnings are so dare, anyone who accuses a
> believing woman of sex outside marriage without any proof; such a person is in
> the eye of the divine laws condemned to 80 lashes.
> Two Gambian women were accused of having a boy friend on a widely read
> Gambian newspaper. These women are stained by the mere attribution of casual
> love affairs outside a marital sanctity. Many will suspect the credibility
> and validity of such statements against the women in question, but still
> some faint hearted readers may continue to believe in it.
> The question all well meaning Gambians or people of concern should ask
> themselves is what good does such irrelevant news stories serve?
> The private lives of independent women who are not occupying any public
> position where they are remunerated by Gambian tax payers, why should their
> private lives become a subject of our news papers?
> Another vital point to note is that, why should hard working, well
> respected women be associated with having boyfriends? It is a simple chauvinist
> behaviour and an outdate attitude which needs to be do away with.
> Isn’t there more respectable and better ways to question the conduct of
> a woman instead of going after her jugular?
> Fatoumata Jahumpa is openly associated with the dictatorship of Yahya
> Jammeh, yet that is not a license to use her name in castigating the
> respectable sister in Fatou Jaw Manneh. One can write voluminous accounts of Fatou
> Jahumpa on her role in fostering sycophancy and selfishness, but that should
> not extend to her private personal life. No one can mistake the real
> intention of the so-call letter, the aim is to discredit Fatou Jaw Manneh not
> fatoumata Jahumpa.
> Fatou Jaw Manneh has endured more than many of us. She continues to be
> part of the struggle and in the media business. Many who have smoothly sailed
> into the comfort of the Americas or Europe quietly went about their
> business uninterested in current developments affecting Gambians.
> Fatou Jaw could have done the same and quietly lay low, avoiding media
> spotlight, thus safe guarding her private personal live. I doubt if the editor
> of Freedom news paper will publish anything against Fatou Jaw if she is
> not providing alternative media outlet for Gambians online.
> In 2009, the privacy and dignity of Gambian women shouldn’t become a
> subject of our media debate. Let us talk about what affect us all in the
> public space of the Gambia. Writing about the private lives of people will do us
> no good. Regular readers on the online discussion forums also see these
> unhealthy exchanges. Some believe, by writing innuendos and concocted stories
> about others just to score futile points they have gain. One would expect
> the editor of Freedom news paper to have grown beyond such unhealthy style
> of journalism, but alas, salvaging personal point’s means doing whatever
> it takes for some.
> The least we can all do for fatou Jaw Manneh is to respect her privacy and
> stop manufacturing lies on her private life. I am very sad to read untruth
> about prominent women in our male dominated circles.
> Fatou Jaw Manneh’s dignity remains intact. There are certain habits
> which are more sinful than drinking alcohol; lying against the dignity of
> others is one such act.
> The editor of Freedom newspaper should retract that so-call letter and
> apologise to Fatou Jaw for aiding the transmission of a character
> assassinating lies. He needs to take note of our social norms and values, and stop
> trespassing on people’s privacy.
> The letter shouldn’t have pass through a vigorous editor’s lenses. The
> piece is scandalous, rude, unnecessary and in bad taste. Fundamentally it
> also exposes the ever uncompromising stance of folks in demeaning others to
> for whatever selfish reasons.
> "foro son tee menti, jaaw salalela, namee tasinin, Allah saa bo ikan"
> (what is not the habit of one, a jealous sob can ascribe it to you, but in the
> end, God will preserve your dignity)
