对世界穷人日的省思

对世界穷人日的省思

作者於2018年11月5日,与ASASI(社群基本人权与安全机构)合作,协助山打根幸福村的社群与政府代理进行對话。

By Jennifer Majalap

Nov 17 2021

加尔各答特蕾莎修女曾说过 :“最可怕的貧窮是孤獨,及不被愛的感覺”,當我打算分享我對沙巴城市貧民的經歷和反思時,我想起一篇幫助他人紀念世界窮人日的文章 。今年的世界窮人日是落在11月14日。

反思窮人的定義,我一直認為舔掉灑在地板的甜饮料,一種在我童年時代被認為罕有的飲料,或者看到我姐姐經常被派去向鄰居借米,这些状况都會將我們定義為窮人。 其实,根據世界標準,當時我的觀點可能是正確的,若不是 10 年以来有幸服务弱勢群体和邊緣化的兄弟姐妹,看到他们無聲的哭泣,也看到我內心的可憐靈魂,而改變自己的人生观,我永遠無法理解圣方济亚西西擁抱基督神貧的精神。

我的旅程始於 2008 年。我接受了一份本應是短期的工作,但結果它卻成為我为社會正義奋斗的終生使命。我加入了亚庇总教區人類發展委員會(AHDC)打擊沙巴人口販賣的項目,以提高人们对此项令人髮指—人口贩卖 ,危害人類罪的認識。人口贩卖牵涉男人、女人和兒童多次作為商品出售以獲取利潤。受害者遭受身心虐待,而受害者的整個家庭可能會感到憤怒、悲傷、內疚、羞恥、恐懼甚至失落感。 2010 年,靠著天主的恩典,我正在努力應付問題的嚴重性,我被派往美國 的 五 個州属進行為期 3 週的計劃,以了解美國如何應對人口販賣。我帶回来两個信念:一是憶起俄亥俄州辛辛那提國家地下鐵路自由中心執行官保禄·伯尼施先生的話,“幫助美國擺脫 500 年奴隸制的是廢奴主義者對天主的信仰”。人口販賣是現代奴隸制。這是一場對抗邪惡力量的戰鬥,只有天主才能戰勝,這是人類不可能完成的壯舉。美國被視為全球打擊人口販賣的最前锋。然而,在國內,他們被內部发生不快樂的城市少女(中產階級女孩)販賣问题搞得焦头烂额。她們拒絕被营救,寧願受肇事者進行剝削,也不願待在缺乏愛和關注的家裡。因她们的父母全神貫注於追求事業和更多的錢。

我的貧窮就是我對這個世界的依恋! “我必須做什麼才能承受永生?”。 耶穌說:“去,變賣你所有的,分給窮人,你就會有財寶在天上。 然后來跟随我!。” “在人方面,這是不可能的,但在天主方面卻不是; 在主内凡事都可能。”聖方济各亚西西与特蕾莎修女為服務最貧窮的人獻出了生命正是這樣的例子。 想起我的信念,即我們在這世上要對抗的是邪惡的精神,我們可以與天主一起幫助改變和克服這一點,“如果你想改變世界,回去愛你的家人!”。 我受召度婚姻生活並有五 個孩子,我以圣母瑪利亚的標準下服務。

我的工作還把我帶到沙巴的 五 個省区和州邊境地區的弱势群体,以及生活在孤島和偏遠村莊的社區。在透過 PACOS 信託建设社區復原力和提高对出生登記的意識 項目中,我們進行了社區對話並邀請相關政府機構傾聽並共同努力建立一個更具復原力的社區,以應對他們面臨的走私者、人口販子和不法武裝分子匿藏在警察無法進入的地方避難。透過對話,社區人士還分享了他們在電力、水供、學校、醫院、道路通行等基本设施有巨大需求和匱乏,以及關於他們的權利和獲取個人文件(如出生登记和適當的婚姻登記、土地傳承等)的重要信息。这些導致高死亡率、文盲、無證身份以及易受剝削、歧視、勒索、亂倫、強姦、操縱、流離失所等威脅的風險都是相关的问题。根據 2019 年貧困線收入 (PGK) 計算方法,沙巴的貧困率為 19.5%,涉及 99,869 戶家庭,這並不奇怪。通過 ASASI(基本人权中心 和 社群安全)的工作,使社區能夠抵抗犯罪和極端主義的艱鉅任務仍在繼續,尤其是在青年当中。儘管如此,我發現最具挑戰性和最貼近內心的课题是酒精和藥物濫用問題,它們威脅著人的尊严,在許多情況下,破壞了人類和家庭的生命尊嚴,實際上助長了國家和甚至整個世界的犯罪率,导致了靈魂的丧亡和家庭的破碎。可悲的是,吸毒和醉酒 被一些人接受為一種生活方式,任何對抗這個內心惡魔般敵人的努力,都被視為敌手。不堪重負,是的,但沒有被打垮!

教宗方濟各在 2018 年世界窮人日的致辭中說, 貧窮是由自私、驕傲、貪婪和不公正造成的。 我非常同意他的看法。 他進一步指出:“天主如何能聽到窮人的呼聲,而那麼多圍觀或站在旁邊的人,要么不關心,要么根本不在乎? 因為基督的愛督促我們繼續(哥林多前書 5:14),願他賜給我們看得見的眼睛、能聽見的耳朵和慈悲的心,伸出雙手提供援助。 記住特蕾莎修女的话,讓我們不要等待領導人来解决问题,而是要自动自发, 從家庭開始彼此关照。
