Vi behøver ikke leve i en verden, hvor 99% af voldtægtsmænd slipper afsted med det, siger TED Fellow Jessica Ladd. Med Callisto, en ny platform for universitetsstuderende til at indgive seksuelle overfald fortroligt, hjælper Ladd ofre med at få den støtte og retfærdighed, som de fortjener, samtidig med at hun respekterer deres privatliv. "Vi kan skabe en verden, hvor der er et ægte præventiv til at krænke et andet menneskes rettigheder," siger hun.

She couldn't wait

Hun kunne ikke vente med,
at komme ud af sine forældres hus

00:19
to prove to them that she's an adult,

for at vise over for dem,
at hun er voksen,

og for at vise over for sine venner,
at hun hører til.

00:25
She heads to a campus party

Hun tager afsted til fest,

where she sees a guy
that she has a crush on.

hvor hun møder en fyr,
som hun er lun på.

00:29
Let's call him Mike.
6
17520

Lad os sige han hedder Mike.
00:32
The next day, Hannah wakes up
with a pounding headache.

Den næste dag vågner Hannah op
med en dunkende hovedpine.

00:37
She can only remember
the night in flashes.
the night in flashes.
8
25280
2680
Hun kan kun huske aftenen i brudstykker.
00:40
But what she does remember is
9
28480
1696
Men hvad hun kan huske er,
00:42
throwing up in the hall
outside Mike's room
outside Mike's room
10
30200
2840
at kaste op i opgangen
udenfor Mikes værelse
udenfor Mikes værelse
00:46
and staring at the wall silently
while he was inside her,
while he was inside her,
11
34440
3096
og stirre lydløst ind i væggen,
mens han var inden i hende,
mens han var inden i hende,
00:49
wanting it to stop,
12
37560
1280
ønsker at det skal stoppe,
00:51
then shakily stumbling home.
13
39520
1960
og så stumple rystende hjemad.
00:54
She doesn't feel good about what happened,
14
42856
2000
Hun har det ikke godt med hvad der skete,
00:56
but she thinks, "Maybe this is just
what sex in college is?"
what sex in college is?"
15
44880
3720
men hun tænker:
"Måske er det bare sådan at sex er her?"
"Måske er det bare sådan at sex er her?"
01:01
One in five women and one in 13 men
will be sexually assaulted
will be sexually assaulted
16
49840

En ud af fem kvinder og en ud af 13 mænd
vil blive seksuelt overfaldet

01:06
at some point during their college career
in the United States.

17

på et eller andet tidspunkt
i deres universitetskarriere i USA.
i deres universitetskarriere i USA.
01:11
Less than 10 percent will ever report
their assault to their school
their assault to their school
18
59520
4416
Mindre end 10 procent vil nogensinde
rapportere overgrebene til deres skoler
rapportere overgrebene til deres skoler
01:15
or to the police.
19
63960
1496
eller til politiet.
01:17
And those who do, on average,
wait 11 months to make the report.
wait 11 months to make the report.
20
65480
4920
Og de som gør venter gennemsnitligt
11 måneder før de rapporterer det.
11 måneder før de rapporterer det.
01:24
Hannah initially just feels like dealing
with what happened on her own.
with what happened on her own.
21
72040
3696
Hannah har i starten mest lyst til selv,
at håndtere hvad der skete med hende.
at håndtere hvad der skete med hende.
01:27
But when she sees Mike
taking girls home from parties,
taking girls home from parties,
22
75760
2576
Men når hun ser Mike,
tage piger med hjem fra fester
tage piger med hjem fra fester
01:30
she's worried about them.
23
78360
1240
bliver hun bekymret.
01:32
After graduation, Hannah learns
24
80600
2256
Efter dimission finder Hannah ud af,
01:34
that she was one of five women
who Mike did the exact same thing to.
who Mike did the exact same thing to.
25
82880
5040
at hun var en af i alt fem piger,
som Mike gjorde det præcis samme imod.
som Mike gjorde det præcis samme imod.
01:40
And this is not an unlikely scenario
26
88840
2416
Og dette er ikke et ualmindeligt scenarie
01:43
because 90 percent of sexual assaults
27
91280
3056
fordi 90% af seksuelle overgreb
01:46
are committed by repeat offenders.
28
94360
2240
bliver begået af folk,
der har gjort det før.
der har gjort det før.
01:49
But with such low reporting rates,
29
97160
1656
Men med så få anmeldelser
01:50
it's fairly unlikely that even
repeat perpetrators will be reported,
repeat perpetrators will be reported,
30
98840
3816
er det usandsynligt at selv folk,
der har gjort det før vil blive anmeldt
der har gjort det før vil blive anmeldt
01:54
much less anything happen if they are.
31
102680
2536
eller at der sker noget,
hvis de bliver det.
hvis de bliver det.
01:57
In fact, only six percent
of assaults reported to the police
of assaults reported to the police
32
105240
5136
Faktisk ender kun seks procent af
anmeldelser om overgreb til politiet
anmeldelser om overgreb til politiet
02:02
end with the assailant
spending a single day in prison.
spending a single day in prison.
33
110400
2880
med at overfaldsmanden tilbringer
en eneste dag i fængsel.
en eneste dag i fængsel.
02:05
Meaning, there's a 99 percent chance
that they'll get away with it.
that they'll get away with it.
34
113680
4800
Det vil sige, at der er en 99% chance for,
at de vil slippe afsted med det.
at de vil slippe afsted med det.
02:11
This means there's practically
no deterrent to assault
no deterrent to assault
35
119400
3416
Det betyder, at der praktisk talt ikke
er noget præventiv til overfald
er noget præventiv til overfald
02:14
in the United States.
36

02:18
Now, I'm an infectious disease
epidemiologist by training.

37
126160
3336
Jeg er trænet i infektionsepidemiologi.
02:21
I'm interested in systems and networks
38
129520
3096
Jeg er interesseret i systemer og netværk,
02:24
and where we can concentrate
our resources to do the most good.
our resources to do the most good.
39
132640
4000
og hvor man kan koncentrere
sine resurser for at gøre mest nytte.

02:29
So this, to me, is a tragic
but a solvable problem.
but a solvable problem.
40
137200
5120
Så for mig er det et tragisk,
men løstbart problem.
men løstbart problem.
02:35
So when the issue of campus assault
started hitting the news a few years ago,
started hitting the news a few years ago,
41
143280
4136
Så da emnet om overfald på campusområder
ramte nyhederne for nogle år tilbage
ramte nyhederne for nogle år tilbage
02:39
it felt like a unique opportunity
to make a change.
to make a change.
42
147440
3376
føltes det som en unik mulighed
til at gøre en forskel.
til at gøre en forskel.
02:42
And so we did.
43
150840
1200
Og det gjorde vi så.
02:44
We started by talking
to college survivors.
to college survivors.
44
152560
2776
Vi begyndte, at tale med ofrene.
02:47
And what they wish they'd had
in college is pretty simple;
in college is pretty simple;
45
155360
3000
Og hvad de ønskede,
at de havde haft var ret simpelt:
at de havde haft var ret simpelt:
02:50
they wanted a website,
46
158880
1536
de ønskede en hjemmeside,
02:52
one they could use
at the time and place
at the time and place
47
160440
2136
en som de kunne bruge på det tid og sted,
02:54
that felt safest to them
48
162600
1440
der føltes sikrest for dem,
02:56
with clearly written information
about their reporting options,
about their reporting options,
49
164800
3976
med klare informationer omkring deres
valgmuligheder for anmeldelse,
valgmuligheder for anmeldelse,
03:00
with the ability to electronically
report their assault,
report their assault,
50
168800
3136
med muligheden for
at anmelde deres overfald elektronisk
at anmelde deres overfald elektronisk
03:03
rather than having the first step
51
171960
1616
i stedet for at gå ind for,
03:05
to go in and talk to someone
who may or may not believe them.
who may or may not believe them.
52
173600
2880
at snakke med nogen,
som muligvis ikke vil tro dem.
som muligvis ikke vil tro dem.
03:09
With the option to create
a secure, timestamped document

53
177080
3296
Med muligheden for
at skabe et sikkert, tidsstemplet dokument
at skabe et sikkert, tidsstemplet dokument
03:12
of what happened to them,
54
180400
1496
af hvad der skete med dem,
03:13
preserving evidence
even if they don't want to report yet.
even if they don't want to report yet.
55
181920
3040
bevare bevismateriale selv
hvis de ikke vil anmelde endnu.
hvis de ikke vil anmelde endnu.
03:17
And lastly, and perhaps most critically,
56
185560
2976
Og sidst, men måske vigtigst af alt,
03:20
with the ability to report their assault
57
188560
2016
muligheden for at anmelde deres overfald
03:22
only if someone else
reported the same assailant.
reported the same assailant.
58
190600
3640
kun hvis en anden har anmeldt
den samme overfaldsmand.
den samme overfaldsmand.
03:26
You see, knowing that you weren't
the only one changes everything.
the only one changes everything.
59
194920
3136
At vide at man ikke er den eneste
forandrer alting.
forandrer alting.
03:30
It changes the way
you frame your own experience,
you frame your own experience,
60
198080
2336
Det forandrer måden
man indrammer oplevelsen,
man indrammer oplevelsen,
03:32
it changes the way
you think about your perpetrator,
you think about your perpetrator,
61
200440
2456
det forandrer måden
man tænker på sin overfaldsmand,
man tænker på sin overfaldsmand,
03:34
it means that if you do come forward,
62
202920
1816
det betyder, at hvis man står frem,
03:36
you'll have someone else's back
and they'll have yours.
and they'll have yours.
63
204760
3040
så vil man have en andens støtte
og de vil have din.
og de vil have din.
03:40
We created a website
that actually does this
that actually does this
64
208840
2496
Vi skabte en hjemmeside,
der faktisk gør dette,
der faktisk gør dette,
03:43
and we launched it [...] in August,
65
211360
3016
og vi lancerede den to måneder siden,
vi lancerede den i august
vi lancerede den i august
03:46
on two college campuses.
66
214400
1600
på to universiteter.
03:48
And we included a unique matching system
67
216600
2896
Og vi inkluderede et unikt match-system,
03:51
where if Mike's first victim
had come forward,
had come forward,
68
219520
2936
og hvis Mikes første offer
havde stået frem,
havde stået frem,
03:54
saved her record,
entered into the matching system
entered into the matching system
69
222480
2776
gemt sin fil,
gået ind i match-systemet
gået ind i match-systemet
03:57
and named Mike,
70
225280
1256
og navngivet Mike,
03:58
and Mike's second victim
had done the same thing
had done the same thing
71
226560
2376
og hvis Mikes andet offer
havde gjort det samme
havde gjort det samme
04:00
a few months later,
72
228960
1656
et par måneder senere,
04:02
they would have matched
73
230640
1336
så ville der være et match,
04:04
and the verified contact information
of both survivors
of both survivors
74
232000
3496
og begge ofres
verificerede kontaktoplysninger
verificerede kontaktoplysninger
04:07
would have been sent
to the authorities at the same time
to the authorities at the same time
75
235520
2736
ville have været sendt til myndighederne
på det tidspunkt
på det tidspunkt
04:10
for investigation and follow up.
76
238280
2040
for efterforskning og opfølgning.
04:13
If a system like this had existed
for Hannah and her peers,
for Hannah and her peers,
77
241600
3696
Hvis et system som dette havde eksisteret
for Hannah og hendes jævnaldrende,
for Hannah og hendes jævnaldrende,
04:17
it's more likely
that they would have reported,
that they would have reported,
78
245320
2536
så er det mere sandsynligt,
at de ville have anmeldt,
at de ville have anmeldt,
04:19
that they would have been believed,
79
247880
1776
at de ville være troet på
04:21
and that Mike would have been
kicked off campus,
kicked off campus,
80
249680
2256
og at Mike ville være blevet smidt ud,
04:23
gone to jail, or at least
gotten the help that he needed.
gotten the help that he needed.
81
251960
3000
kommet i fængsel eller fået den hjælp,
som han har brug for.
som han har brug for.
04:27
And if we were able to stop
repeat offenders like Mike
repeat offenders like Mike
82
255920
3496
Og hvis vi kan stoppe folk som Mike
04:31
after just their second assault
following a match,
following a match,
83
259440
3616
efter bare deres andet overfald
på grund af et match,
på grund af et match,
04:35
survivors like Hannah
would never even be assaulted
would never even be assaulted
84
263080
2616
så ville ofre som Hannah
aldrig være blevet overfaldet
aldrig være blevet overfaldet
04:37
in the first place.
85
265720
1280
til at starte med.
04:39
We could prevent
59 percent of sexual assaults
59 percent of sexual assaults
86
267760
4096
Vi kunne forebygge 59%
af alle seksuelle overfald
af alle seksuelle overfald
04:43
just by stopping
repeat perpetrators earlier on.
repeat perpetrators earlier on.
87
271880
3080
bare ved at stoppe gerningsmændene
tidligt i deres handlinger.
tidligt i deres handlinger.
04:48
And because we're creating
a real deterrent to assault,
a real deterrent to assault,
88
276080
2696
Og fordi vi skaber
et rigtigt præventiv til overfald
et rigtigt præventiv til overfald
04:50
for perhaps the first time,
89
278800
2136
for måske første gang,
04:52
maybe the Mikes of the world
would never even try to assault anyone.
would never even try to assault anyone.
90
280960
3360
så ville alle Mikes i verden
måske aldrig prøve at overfalde nogen.
måske aldrig prøve at overfalde nogen.
04:58
The type of system I'm describing,
91
286640
1976
Det type af system,
som jeg beskriver,
som jeg beskriver,
05:00
the type of system that survivors want
92
288640
2376
det type system som ofre ønsker
05:03
is a type of information escrow,
93
291040
2536
er et slags spærret system,
05:05
meaning an entity that holds on
to information for you
to information for you
94
293600
3216
hvilket betyder at en enhed
bevarer information for dig,
bevarer information for dig,
05:08
and only releases it to a third party
95
296840
2456
og frigiver det kun til tredjepart,
05:11
when certain pre-agreed upon
conditions are met,
conditions are met,
96
299320
2576
når særlige forudaftalte forhold
er opfyldt,
er opfyldt,
05:13
such as a match.
97
301920
1200
som ved et match.
05:15
The application that we built
is for college campuses.
is for college campuses.
98
303600
3736
Anvendelsen er for universiteter.
05:19
But the same type of system
could be used in the military
could be used in the military
99
307360
3056
Men samme type system
kunne blive brugt i militæret
kunne blive brugt i militæret
05:22
or even the workplace.
100
310440
1400
eller endda arbejdspladsen.
05:25
We don't have to live in a world
101
313720
2536
Vi behøver ikke leve i en verden,
05:28
where 99 percent of rapists
get away with it.
get away with it.
102
316280
3160
hvor 99% af voldtægtsmænd
slipper afsted med det.
slipper afsted med det.
05:32
We can create one
103
320120
1416
Vi kan skabe en,
05:33
where those who do wrong
are held accountable,
are held accountable,
104
321560
2936
hvor dem der gør uret
bliver holdt ansvarlig,
bliver holdt ansvarlig,
05:36
where survivors get the support
and justice they deserve,
and justice they deserve,
105
324520
3416
hvor ofre kan få den støtte
og retfærdighed, som de fortjener,
og retfærdighed, som de fortjener,
05:39
where the authorities
get the information they need,
get the information they need,
106
327960
2896
hvor myndighederne får den information,
som de har brug for
som de har brug for
05:42
and where there's a real deterrent
107
330880
1896
og hvor der er et ægte præventiv
05:44
to violating the rights
of another human being.
of another human being.
108

til at krænke
et andet menneskes rettigheder.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jessica Ladd - Founder and CEO, CallistoJessica Ladd is using technology to combat sexual assault, empower survivors and advance justice.
Why you should listen
Jessica Ladd is the founder and CEO of Callisto, formerly Sexual Health Innovations, and a TED Fellow. She has been honored as a fearless changemaker by the Case Foundation, an emerging innovator by Ashoka and American Express, and as the Civic Hacker of the Year by Baltimore Innovation Week.
Before founding Sexual Health Innovations, Ladd worked in the White House Office of National AIDS Policy as a public policy associate at The AIDS Institute and as a sexual health educator and researcher for a variety of organizations. She also founded The Social Innovation Lab in Baltimore and a chapter of FemSex at Pomona College. She received her Masters in Public Health at Johns Hopkins and her BA in Public Policy/Human Sexuality at Pomona College. She left a PhD program in infectious disease epidemiology at Johns Hopkins in order to pursue work at Sexual Health Innovations full-time.
Ladd has created a platform, Callisto, for survivors of sexual assault to electronically document and report what happened to them. The platform helps identify serial sexual offenders, allowing victims to either (1) directly report to an institution or (2) store their identity in escrow and only release it to an institution if another victim names the same assailant.
