Hawa Abdi: Many people -- 20 years for Somalia --

Hawa Abdi: Selama 20 tahun Somalia
00:19
[were] fighting.
1
4000
2000
berperang.
00:21
So there was no job, no food.
2
6000
4000
Maka, tiada pekerjaan, tiada makanan.
00:25
Children, most of them,
3
10000
2000
Kanak-kanak terutamanya,
00:27
became very malnourished, like this.
4
12000
3000
kekurangan zat makanan, seperti kanak-kanak ini.
00:31
Deqo Mohamed: So as you know,
5
16000
2000
Deqo Mohamed: Seperti yang kita maklum,
00:33
always in a civil war,
6
18000
2000
di dalam mana-mana peperangan saudara
00:35
the ones affected most [are] the women and children.
7
20000
3000
yang teruk menjadi mangsa adalah wanita dan kanak-kanak
00:38
So our patients are women and children.
8
23000
3000
Maka pesakit kami terdiri daripada wanita dan kanak-kanak.
00:41
And they are in our backyard.
9
26000
2000
Mereka adalah saudara-mara dan jiran-jiran kami.
00:43
It's our home. We welcome them.
10
28000
2000
Ini rumah kami; dan kami mengalu-alukan kedatangan mereka.
00:45
That's the camp that we have in now
11
30000
3000
Inilah kem kami sekarang
00:48
90,000 people,
12
33000
2000
dengan 90,000 orang,
00:50
where 75 percent of them are women and children.
13
35000
3000
dimana 75 peratus daripada mereka adalah wanita dan kanak-kanak.
00:53
Pat Mitchell: And this is your hospital. This is the inside.
14
38000
2000
Pat Mitchell: Ini bahagian dalam hospital Puan.
00:55
HA: We are doing C-sections and different operations
15
40000
3000
HA: Kami menjalankan pembedahan Caesar dan pembedahan-pembedahan lain.
00:58
because people need some help.
16
43000
3000
kerana mereka perlukan bantuan.
01:01
There is no government to protect them.
17
46000
3000
Tiada kerajaan untuk melindungi mereka.
01:04
DM: Every morning we have about 400 patients,
18
49000
3000
DM: Setiap pagi kami didatangi 400 orang pesakit,
01:07
maybe more or less.
19
52000
2000
mungkin kurang mungkin lebih.
01:09
But sometimes we are only five doctors
20
54000
3000
Kadang-kadang disebabkan kami hanya lima doktor
01:12
and 16 nurses,
21
57000
2000
dan 16 jururawat
01:14
and we are physically getting exhausted to see all of them.
22
59000
4000
kami berasa tersangat letih untuk merawat mereka semua.
01:18
But we take the severe ones,
23
63000
2000
Tapi, kami kami tetap merawat kes-kes yang serius,
01:20
and we reschedule the other ones the next day.
24
65000
3000
yang lain kami jadualkan semula keesokkan harinya.
01:23
It is very tough.
25
68000
2000
Memang sukar.
01:25
And as you can see, it's the women who are carrying the children;
26
70000
3000
Seperti yang kita lihat, wanita-wanita yang mendukung anak-anak ini,
01:28
it's the women who come into the hospitals;
27
73000
2000
wanita-wanita yang datang ke hospital,
01:30
it's the women [are] building the houses.
28
75000
2000
wanita-wanita ini jugalah yang membina rumah-rumah.
01:32
That's their house.
29
77000
2000
Itulah rumah mereka.
01:34
And we have a school. This is our bright --
30
79000
3000
Kami juga ada sebuah sekolah
01:37
we opened [in the] last two years [an] elementary school
31
82000
3000
sekolah ini dibuka dua tahun lepas, ini sekolah rendah
01:40
where we have 850 children,
32
85000
3000
kami ada 850 pelajar,
01:43
and the majority are women and girls.
33
88000
2000
majoritinya adalah wanita dan kanak-kanak perempuan.
01:45
(Applause)
34
90000
6000
(Tepukan)
01:51
PM: And the doctors have some very big rules
35
96000
3000
PM: Doktor-doktor di sini mempunyai beberapa peraturan ketat
01:54
about who can get treated at the clinic.
36
99000
2000
berkaitan siapa yang boleh dirawat di klinik ini.
01:56
Would you explain the rules for admission?
37
101000
3000
Boleh terangkan peraturan yang dikenakan?
01:59
HA: The people who are coming to us,
38
104000
2000
HA: Mereka yang datang menemui kami,
02:01
we are welcoming.
39
106000
2000
memang kami alu-alukan.
02:03
We are sharing with them
40
108000
2000
Kami berkongsi
02:05
whatever we have.
41
110000
2000
apa yang kami ada dengan mereka.
02:07
But there are only two rules.
42
112000
2000
Hanya ada dua peraturan.
02:09
First rule:
43
114000
2000
Peraturan pertama:
02:11
there is no clan distinguished and political division
44
116000
3000
Tiada puak atau parti politik
02:14
in Somali society.
45
119000
3000
dalam masyarakat Somali.
02:17
[Whomever] makes those things we throw out.
46
122000
3000
Sesiapa yang tidak mematuhi peraturan ini, kami halau keluar.
02:20
The second:
47
125000
2000
Peraturan kedua:
02:22
no man can beat his wife.
48
127000
2000
Suami tidak boleh memukul isterinya.
02:24
If he beat,
49
129000
2000
Jika dia melakukannya,
02:26
we will put [him] in jail,
50
131000
2000
kami akan humban dia dalam penjara,
02:28
and we will call the eldest people.
51
133000
3000
kemudian kami akan panggil orang tua-tua kami
02:31
Until they identify this case,
52
136000
3000
Selagi mereka belum mengamati kes ini,
02:34
we'll never release him.
53
139000
2000
selagi itu kami akan menahannya.
02:36
That's our two rules.
54
141000
2000
Itulah dua peraturan kami.
02:38
(Applause)
55
143000
5000
(Tepukan)
02:43
The other thing that I have realized,
56
148000
3000
Satu lagi perkara yang saya sedari,
02:46
that the woman is the most strong person
57
151000
3000
bahawa wanita merupakan individu yang paling kuat
02:49
all over the world.
58
154000
2000
di mana-mana di seluruh dunia
02:51
Because the last 20 years,
59
156000
2000
Sejak 20 tahun lalu,
02:53
the Somali woman has stood up.
60
158000
3000
Wanita Somali telah menegakkan hak mereka.
02:56
They were the leaders,
61
161000
2000
Mereka adalah pemimpin
02:58
and we are the leaders
62
163000
2000
dan kami adalah pemimpin
03:00
of our community
63
165000
2000
dalam komuniti kami
03:02
and the hope of our future generations.
64
167000
2000
pemimpin untuk harapan generasi muda kami.
03:04
We are not just the helpless
65
169000
2000
Kami bukanlah golongan yang lemah semata-mata
03:06
and the victims of the civil war.
66
171000
2000
atau hanya mangsa-mangsa peperangan saudara.
03:08
We can reconcile.
67
173000
2000
Kami boleh bersatu.
03:10
We can do everything.
68
175000
2000
Kami boleh buat apa sahaja.
03:12
(Applause)
69
177000
6000
(Tepukan)
03:18
DM: As my mother said, we are the future hope,
70
183000
2000
DM: Seperti yang dikatakan oleh ibu, kami adalah harapan masa hadapan
03:20
and the men are only killing in Somalia.
71
185000
3000
kaum lelaki hanya berbunuhan di Somalia.
03:23
So we came up with these two rules.
72
188000
2000
Sebab itulah kami adakan dua peraturan ini.
03:25
In a camp with 90,000 people,
73
190000
2000
Dalam kem yang mempunyai 90,000 orang,
03:27
you have to come up with some rules or there is going to be some fights.
74
192000
3000
kami perlu ada beberapa peraturan, kalau tidak pergaduhan akan berlaku.
03:30
So there is no clan division,
75
195000
2000
Jadi, di sini tiada berpuak-puak,
03:32
and no man can beat his wife.
76
197000
2000
dan lelaki tidak boleh memukul isterinya.
03:34
And we have a little storage room
77
199000
2000
Kami ada sebuah bilik stor kecil
03:36
where we converted a jail.
78
201000
2000
yang kami jadikan sebagai tempat tahanan.
03:38
So if you beat your wife, you're going to be there.
79
203000
2000
Jadi, jika ada lelaki yang memukul isterinya, dia akan ditahan di situ.
03:40
(Applause)
80
205000
2000
(Tepukan)
03:42
So empowering the women and giving the opportunity --
81
207000
3000
jadi kami mahu memperkasakan wanita dan memberikan mereka peluang -
03:45
we are there for them. They are not alone for this.
82
210000
4000
kami menyokong mereka; mereka tidak bersendirian dalam perkara ini.
03:49
PM: You're running a medical clinic.
83
214000
2000
PM: Puan menguruskan sebuah klinik perubatan.
03:51
It brought much, much needed medical care
84
216000
3000
Klinik ini memberikan rawatan perubatan yang sangat sangat diperlukan
03:54
to people who wouldn't get it.
85
219000
2000
kepada mereka yang tidak mampu mendapatkannya.
03:56
You're also running a civil society.
86
221000
2000
Pada masa yang sama, Puan juga menguruskan sebuah masyarakat sivil.
03:58
You've created your own rules,
87
223000
2000
Puan mewujudkan undang-undang sendiri,
04:00
in which women and children
88
225000
2000
yang mana wanita dan kanak-kanak
04:02
are getting a different sense of security.
89
227000
3000
dan mereka rasa selamat.
04:05
Talk to me about your decision, Dr. Abdi,
90
230000
3000
Beritahu saya tentang keputusan Puan, Dr Abdi,
04:08
and your decision, Dr. Mohamed,
91
233000
2000
dan keputusan Puan, Dr. Mohamed,
04:10
to work together --
92
235000
2000
untuk bekerjasama-
04:12
for you to become a doctor
93
237000
2000
untuk Puan menjadi seorang doktor
04:14
and to work with your mother in these circumstances.
94
239000
3000
dan bekerja dengan ibu Puan dalam keadaan seperti ini.
04:17
HA: My age --
95
242000
2000
HA: Dengan usia saya -
04:19
because I was born in 1947 --
96
244000
3000
disebabkan saya dilahirkan pada 1947 -
04:22
we were having, at that time,
97
247000
2000
pada waktu itu, kami masih mempunyai
04:24
government, law and order.
98
249000
3000
kerajaan, undang-undang dan peraturan.
04:28
But one day, I went to the hospital --
99
253000
3000
Tetapi pada satu hari, saya ke hospital -
04:31
my mother was sick --
100
256000
2000
kerana ibu saya sakit -
04:33
and I saw the hospital, how they [were] treating the doctors,
101
258000
3000
di hosptal, saya saksikan bagaimana para doktor merawat,
04:36
how they [are] committed
102
261000
2000
bagaimana mereka betul-betul komited,
04:38
to help the sick people.
103
263000
3000
untuk membantu orang sakit.
04:41
I admired them,
104
266000
2000
Saya amat mengagumi mereka,
04:43
and I decided to become a doctor.
105
268000
2000
Disebabkan itu, saya ambil keputusan menjadi doktor.
04:45
My mother died, unfortunately,
106
270000
2000
Malangnya, ibu saya meninggal
04:47
when I was 12 years [old].
107
272000
2000
ketika saya berusia 12 tahun.
04:49
Then my father allowed me
108
274000
4000
Bapa saya memberi kebenaran
04:53
to proceed [with] my hope.
109
278000
3000
untuk saya meneruskan cita-cita saya.
04:56
My mother died
110
281000
2000
Ibu saya meninggal
04:58
in [a] gynecology complication,
111
283000
2000
disebabkan komplikasi sakit puan,
05:00
so I decided to become
112
285000
2000
jadi saya ambil keputusan
05:02
a gynecology specialist.
113
287000
3000
menjadi seorang pakar sakit puan.
05:05
That's why I became a doctor.
114
290000
3000
Disebabkan itulah saya menjadi doktor.
05:08
So Dr. Deqo has to explain.
115
293000
3000
Sekarang Dr Deqo akan jelaskan.
05:11
DM: For me, my mother was preparing [me] when I was a child
116
296000
3000
DM: Bagi saya, semasa saya kecil lagi ibu sudah mempersiapkan saya
05:14
to become a doctor, but I really didn't want to.
117
299000
3000
untuk menjadi seorang doktr, tapi sebenarnya saya tidak mahu menjadi doktor.
05:17
Maybe I should become an historian,
118
302000
2000
Saya mahu menjadi ahli sejarah
05:19
or maybe a reporter.
119
304000
2000
atau mungkin seorang wartawan.
05:21
I loved it, but it didn't work.
120
306000
2000
Saya sukakannya, tetapi ia tidak menjadi.
05:23
When the war broke out -- civil war --
121
308000
2000
Apabila perang saudara meletus
05:25
I saw how my mother was helping
122
310000
2000
Saya saksikan bagaimana ibu membantu
05:27
and how she really needed the help,
123
312000
2000
dan ibu benar-benar memerlukan bantuan,
05:29
and how the care is essential to the woman
124
314000
3000
saya lihat bagaimana penjagaan penting untuk wanita-wanita ini
05:32
to be a woman doctor in Somalia
125
317000
2000
saya menjadi doktor wanita di Somalia
05:34
and help the women and children.
126
319000
2000
dan membantu wanita-wanita dan kanak-kanak.
05:36
And I thought, maybe I can be a reporter and doctor gynecologist.
127
321000
3000
Jadi, saya rasa mungkin saya boleh menjadi seorang wartawan dan juga doktor sakit puan.
05:39
(Laughter)
128
324000
2000
(Ketawa)
05:41
So I went to Russia, and my mother also,
129
326000
2000
Jadi, saya pergi ke Russia, ibu saya juga belajar di sana,
05:43
[during the] time of [the] Soviet Union.
130
328000
2000
semasa zaman Soviet Union.
05:45
So some of our character,
131
330000
3000
Jadi karakter kami,
05:48
maybe we will come with a strong Soviet background of training.
132
333000
3000
mungkin disebabkan oleh latihan Soviet yang kasar
05:52
So that's how I decided [to do] the same.
133
337000
2000
Itulah ceritanya bagaimana akhirnya saya buat perkara yang sama.
05:54
My sister was different.
134
339000
2000
Lain ceritanya dengan adik perempuan saya.
05:56
She's here. She's also a doctor.
135
341000
2000
Dia ada di sini. Dia juga seorang doktor
05:58
She graduated in Russia also.
136
343000
2000
Dia juga belajar di Russia.
06:00
(Applause)
137
345000
2000
(Tepukan)
06:02
And to go back and to work with our mother
138
347000
2000
Apa yang kami saksikan dalam perang saudara ini
06:04
is just what we saw in the civil war --
139
349000
2000
menyebabkan kami mahu kembali ke Somalia dan bekerja dengan ibu kami
06:06
when I was 16, and my sister was 11,
140
351000
3000
Semasa saya berusia 16 tahun, dan adik saya 11 tahun
06:09
when the civil war broke out.
141
354000
3000
perang saudara ini meletus.
06:12
So it was the need and the people we saw
142
357000
3000
bantuan yang diperlukan dan rakyat yang kami saksikan
06:15
in the early '90s --
143
360000
2000
pada awal tahun 90-an,
06:17
that's what made us go back
144
362000
2000
yang menyebabkan kami mahu kembali semula
06:19
and work for them.
145
364000
3000
dan bekerja untuk mereka.
06:22
PM: So what is the biggest challenge
146
367000
3000
PM: Jadi apakah cabaran paling besar
06:25
working, mother and daughter,
147
370000
2000
bekerja bersama ibu dan anak,
06:27
in such dangerous
148
372000
2000
dalam situasi yang berbahaya
06:29
and sometimes scary situations?
149
374000
2000
dan kadang kala menakutkan ini?
06:31
HA: Yes, I was working in a tough situation,
150
376000
4000
HA: Memang saya bekerja dalam satu situasi yang sukar,
06:35
very dangerous.
151
380000
3000
sangat berbahaya.
06:38
And when I saw the people who needed me,
152
383000
3000
Apabila saya lihat rakyat yang memerlukan saya,
06:41
I was staying with them to help,
153
386000
2000
Saya tinggal bersama-sama mereka untuk membantu,
06:43
because I [could] do something for them.
154
388000
3000
sebab saya boleh melakukan sesuatu unuk mereka.
06:46
Most people fled abroad.
155
391000
4000
Ramai orang lari ke luar negara.
06:50
But I remained with those people,
156
395000
3000
Tetapi saya tetap bersama mereka,
06:53
and I was trying to do something --
157
398000
3000
saya berusaha melakukan sesuatu -
06:56
[any] little thing I [could] do.
158
401000
3000
walau sekecil manapun bantuan itu.
06:59
I succeeded in my place.
159

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dr. Hawa Abdi + Dr. Deqo Mohamed - Somali doctors who treat women refugeesDr. Hawa Abdi and her daughters, Dr. Deqo Mohamed and Dr. Amina Mohamed, treat Somali refugee women and children, often for free.
Why you should listen
Dr. Hawa Abdi is an OB/GYN (and a lawyer) who lives and works in Somalia with her daughters, also doctors, Dr. Amina Mohamed and Dr. Dr. Deqo Mohamed. In 1983, she opened a small clinic in Somalia -- which became a refuge as Somalia devolved into civil war. Her one-room clinic has grown to encompass a hospital, a school and a refugee camp for some 90,000 women and children, she estimates, who were displaced by war.
In 2010, Glamour named Dr. Abdi and her daughters "Women of the Year," and called them the "Saints of Somalia." Nicholas Kristoff wrote a stirring tribute to her work titled "Heroic, Female and Muslim." And she works largely on her own; as Glamour notes: "While Dr. Abdi has gotten some help, many charities refuse to enter Somalia. 'It’s the most dangerous country,' says Kati Marton, a board member of Human Rights Watch. 'Dr. Abdi is just about the only one doing anything.'"
