I'm going to share with you the story

3000
Ma jagan teiega lugu sellest,
00:18
as to how I have become
1
3000
2000
kuidas minust on saanud
00:20
an HIV/AIDS campaigner.
2
5000
3000
HIVi/AIDSi kampaania läbiviija.
00:23
And this is the name of my campaign: SING Campaign.
3
8000
3000
See on minu kampaania nimi: SING Campaign.
00:27
In November of 2003,
4
12000
2000
2003. aasta novembris
00:29
I was invited to take part
5
14000
2000
kutsuti mind osalema
00:31
in the launch of Nelson Mandela's
6
16000
2000
Nelson Mandela
00:33
46664 Foundation --
7
18000
3000
46664 Fondi käivitamises -
00:36
that is his HIV/AIDS foundation.
8
21000
2000
see on tema HIVi/AIDSi fond
00:38
And 46664 is the number
9
23000
2000
ning 46664 on number,
00:40
that Mandela had when he was imprisoned in Robben Island.
10
25000
3000
mida Mandela kandis, kui ta viibis Robbeni saarel vangistuses.
00:44
And that's me with Youssou N'Dour,
11
29000
2000
Siin olen ma laval koos Youssou N'Dour'iga,
00:46
onstage, having the time of my life.
12
31000
3000
nautimas oma elu parimaid hetki.
00:51
The next day, all the artists were invited
13
36000
2000
Järgmisel päeval kutsuti kõik esinejad
00:53
to join Mandela in Robben Island,
14
38000
3000
Robbeni saarele Mandelaga ühinema,
00:56
where he was going to give a conference
15
41000
2000
kus ta pidas pressikonverentsi
00:58
to the world's press,
16
43000
3000
maailma ajakirjandusele
01:01
standing in front of his former prison cell.
17
46000
2000
seistes oma endise vangikongi ees -
01:03
You can see the bars of the window there.
18
48000
3000
näete siin kongiakna trelle.
01:06
It was quite a momentous occasion for all of us.
19
51000
3000
See oli meile kõigile pöördeline sündmus.
01:09
In that moment in time,
20
54000
2000
Sel hetkel
01:11
Mandela told the world's press
21
56000
3000
ütles Mandela kogunenud ajakirjanikele, et
01:14
that there was a virtual genocide
22
59000
2000
tema riigis toimub
01:16
taking place in his country;
23
61000
2000
tõeline genotsiid.
01:18
that post-apartheid
24
63000
2000
Et /hoolimata/ rassistliku diskrimineerimisrežiimi järgsest
01:20
Rainbow Nation,
25
65000
2000
Rainbow Nation'ist (Vikerkaarerahvus),
01:22
a thousand people were dying on a daily basis
26
67000
3000
sureb seal tuhat inimest päevas
01:25
and that the front line victims,
27
70000
2000
ja et peamised ohvrid on
01:27
the most vulnerable of all,
28
72000
2000
kõige haavatavamad -
01:29
were women and children.
29
74000
3000
naised ja lapsed.
01:32
This was a huge impact on my mind,
30
77000
3000
See avaldas mulle suurt mõju,
01:35
because I am a woman and I am a mother,
31
80000
3000
sest ma olen naine ja ma olen ema.
01:38
and I hadn't realized
32
83000
2000
Ma polnud mõistnud, et
01:40
that the HIV/AIDS pandemic
33
85000
2000
HIVi/AIDSi pandeemia
01:42
was directly affecting women in such a way.
34
87000
3000
mõjutab nii otseselt just naisi.
01:45
And so I committed -- when I left South Africa,
35
90000
2000
Kui ma Lõuna-Aafrikast ja Kaplinnast lahkusin
01:47
when I left Capetown,
36
92000
2000
lubasin endale:
01:49
I told myself, "This is going to be something
37
94000
2000
"See on miski, millest
01:51
that I have to talk about.
38
96000
2000
ma pean rääkima.
01:53
I have to serve."
39
98000
2000
Ma pean midagi tegema."
01:55
And so, subsequently
40
100000
2000
Niisiis,
01:57
I participated in every single
41
102000
2000
ma osalesin eranditult igal
01:59
46664 event
42
104000
2000
46664 sündmusel
02:01
that I could take part in
43
106000
2000
kus võimalik ning
02:03
and gave news conferences,
44
108000
2000
pidasin pressikonverentse
02:05
interviews,
45
110000
2000
ja andsin intervjuusid.
02:07
talking and using my platform as a musician,
46
112000
3000
Kasutasin esinedes ära oma muusikurolli,
02:10
with my commitment to Mandela --
47
115000
2000
et avaldada austust ning tunnustust
02:12
out of respect for the tremendous,
48
117000
3000
Mandelale suure,
02:15
unbelievable work that he had done.
49
120000
2000
uskumatu töö eest.
02:17
Everyone in the world respects Nelson Mandela,
50
122000
3000
Kogu maailm austab Nelson Mandelat,
02:20
everyone reveres Nelson Mandela.
51
125000
2000
kõik peavad temast lugu.
02:22
But do they all know
52
127000
2000
Aga kas kõik nad teavad,
02:24
about what has been taking place in South Africa,
53
129000
2000
mis toimub Lõuna-Aafrikas,
02:26
his country,
54
131000
2000
tema riigis,
02:29
the country that had one of the highest incidents
55
134000
2000
kus on suurim hulk
02:31
of transmission of the virus?
56
136000
2000
viiruse edasikandumise juhtumeid?
02:33
I think that if I went out into the street now
57
138000
3000
Kui läheksin praegu tänavale ning
02:36
and I told people what was happening there,
58
141000
2000
räägiksin neile, mis seal toimub,
02:38
they would be shocked.
59
143000
3000
oleksid nad šokeeritud.
02:41
I was very, very fortunate a couple of years later
60
146000
3000
Mõni aasta hiljem olin õnnega koos, kui
02:44
to have met Zackie Achmat,
61
149000
2000
kohtusin Zackie Achmat'iga, kes on
02:46
the founder of Treatment Action Campaign,
62
151000
2000
Treatment Action Campaign asutaja -
02:48
an incredible campaigner and activist.
63
153000
3000
suurepärane kampaania läbiviija ja aktivist.
02:51
I met him at a 46664 event.
64
156000
2000
Kohtusin temaga ühel 46664 sündmusel.
02:53
He was wearing a t-shirt like the one I wear now.
65
158000
2000
Ta kandis sarnast särki nagu mina praegu.
02:55
This is a tool --
66
160000
2000
See on vahend, mis
02:57
this tells you I am in solidarity
67
162000
2000
ütleb, et ma olen ühes
02:59
with people who have HIV,
68
164000
3000
inimestega, kellel on HIV.
03:02
people who are living with HIV.
69
167000
2000
Inimestega, kes elavad koos HIV viirusega.
03:04
And in a way because of the stigma, by wearing this t-shirt
70
169000
3000
Kandes seda särki, ütlen HIVi-stigmale justkui:
03:07
I say, "Yes, we can talk about this issue.
71
172000
3000
"Jah, me saame sellest rääkida.
03:10
It doesn't have to be in the closet."
72
175000
3000
Me ei pea seda tegema varjatult!"
03:13
I became a member of Treatment Action Campaign
73
178000
3000
Liitusin Treatment Action Campaign'iga
03:16
and I'm very proud to be a member
74
181000
2000
ning tunnen uhkust, et kuulun
03:18
of that incredible organization.
75
183000
2000
sellesse imelisse organisatsiooni.
03:20
It's a grassroots campaign
76
185000
2000
See on rohujuuretasandi kampaania,
03:22
with 80 percent membership being women,
77
187000
3000
kus 80% liikmetest on naised,
03:25
most of whom are HIV-positive.
78
190000
3000
kellest enamikul on HIV viirus.
03:28
They work in the field.
79
193000
2000
Nad töötavad selle teemaga.
03:30
They have tremendous outreach
80
195000
3000
Neil on väga suur kokkupuude
03:33
to the people who are living directly
81
198000
2000
inimestega, kes elavad otseselt
03:35
with the effects of the virus.
82
200000
2000
HI-viiruse tagajärgedega.
03:37
They have education programs.
83
202000
3000
Kampaanial on haridusprogrammid,
03:40
They bring out the issues of stigma.
84
205000
3000
kus räägitakse HIV-stigmast.
03:43
It's quite extraordinary what they do.
85
208000
3000
See, mida nad teevad, on üsna ebaharilik.
03:46
And yes, my SING Campaign
86
211000
2000
Minu SING Campaign on
03:48
has supported Treatment Action Campaign
87
213000
2000
toetanud Treatment Action Campaign'i
03:50
in the way that I have tried to raise awareness
88
215000
3000
sel moel, et olen püüdnud tõsta teadlikkust HIVist
03:53
and to try to also raise funds.
89
218000
2000
ja ühtlasi püüdnud leida rahalist toetust.
03:55
A lot of the funding that I have managed to raise
90
220000
2000
Suur osa rahast, mille olen kogunud, on
03:57
has gone directly to Treatment Action Campaign
91
222000
2000
läinud otse Treatment Action Campaign'ile
03:59
and the incredible work that they do,
92
224000
2000
ja nende imelise töö toetuseks,
04:01
and are still continuing to do in South Africa.
93
226000
3000
mis ikka veel Lõuna-Aafrikas jätkub.
04:04
So this is my SING Campaign.
94
229000
2000
Nii et see ongi mu SING Campaign,
04:06
SING Campaign is basically just me
95
231000
2000
kuhu kuulun mina
04:08
and about three or four wonderful people
96
233000
2000
ja kolm-neli imelist inimest,
04:10
who help to support me.
97
235000
2000
kes mind abistavad.
04:12
I've traveled all over the world
98
237000
2000
Olen viimase kahe ja poole aasta jooksul
04:14
in the last two and a half years --
99
239000
2000
reisinud üle terve maailma.
04:16
I went to about 12 different countries.
100
241000
2000
Olen külastanud umbes 12 erinevat riiki.
04:18
Here I am in Oslo in Norway,
101
243000
2000
Praegu olen ma siin Oslos, Norras
04:20
getting a nice, fat check;
102
245000
3000
(saan selle eest loomulikult palju raha).
04:23
singing in Hong Kong, trying to get people to raise money.
103
248000
3000
Laulan Hong Kongis, et koguda veel rohkem toetust.
04:26
In Johannesburg, I had the opportunity to play
104
251000
3000
Johannesburgis oli mul võimalus mängida
04:29
to a mainly white, middle-class South African audience
105
254000
2000
peamiselt valgetele, keskklassi kuuluvatele lõuna-aafriklastele,
04:31
who ended up in tears
106
256000
2000
kes olid lõpuks pisarais, kuna
04:33
because I use film clips
107
258000
2000
näitasin videolõike, mis
04:35
that really touch the heart, the whole nature,
108
260000
2000
neid väga puudutas. Filmis näidati
04:37
of this terrible tragedy that is taking place,
109
262000
3000
kogu toimuva tragöödia olemust, mida
04:40
that people are tending to avoid,
110
265000
2000
inimesed tavaliselt väldivad,
04:42
because they are fatigued,
111
267000
2000
kuna nad on väsinud ja kuna
04:44
and they really don't quite know what the solutions are.
112
269000
3000
nad ei tea, mis võiks olla lahenduseks.
04:47
Aaron Motsoaledi, the current health minister,
113
272000
2000
Aaron Motsoaledi, praegune LAVi tervishoiuminister
04:49
attended that concert
114
274000
2000
oli samuti sel kontserdil
04:51
and I had an opportunity to meet with him,
115
276000
2000
ja mul oli võimalus temaga hiljem kohtuda.
04:53
and he gave his absolute commitment
116
278000
2000
Ta lubas täielikku pühendumist
04:55
to try to making a change,
117
280000
2000
muutuste kordasaatmiseks,
04:57
which is absolutely necessary.
118
282000
2000
mis on äärmiselt vajalikud.
04:59
This is in the Scottish Parliament.
119
284000
2000
See on Šoti parlamendis -
05:01
I've subsequently become an envoy
120
286000
2000
minust on saanud ka Šotimaa saadik
05:03
for Scotland and HIV.
121
288000
2000
HIV-probleemide lahendamisel.
05:05
And I was showing them my experiences
122
290000
2000
Kõnelesin neile oma kogemustest
05:07
and trying to, again, raise awareness.
123
292000
3000
ning üritasin tõsta teadlikkust HI-viiruse kohta
05:10
And once again, in Edinburgh
124
295000
2000
Ja taaskord Edinburghis koos suurepärase
05:12
with the wonderful African Children's Choir who I simply adore.
125
297000
3000
Aafrika Lastekooriga, keda ma lausa jumaldan.
05:15
And it's children like this, many of whom have been orphaned
126
300000
3000
Just sellised lapsed, kellest paljud on orvud,
05:18
because of their family being affected
127
303000
3000
kuna nende vanemad on
05:21
by the AIDS virus.
128
306000
2000
haigestunud AIDS-i.
05:23
I'm sitting here in New York with Michel Sidibe --
129
308000
3000
Siin istun ma koos Michel Sidibe'ga New Yorgis -
05:26
he's the director of UNAIDS.
130
311000
2000
ta on UNAIDS-i direktor.
05:28
And I'm very honored
131
313000
2000
On väga auväärne, et
05:30
by the fact that Michel invited me,
132
315000
2000
Michel pakkus mulle
05:32
only a few months ago,
133
317000
2000
mõni kuu tagasi
05:34
to become a UNAIDS ambassador.
134
319000
2000
võimalust hakata UNAIDSi saadikuks.
05:36
And in this way, I've been strengthening my platform
135
321000
3000
Niiviisi olen tugevdanud oma tegevuste ulatust
05:39
and broadening my outreach.
136
324000
2000
ning laiendanud oma töö mõju.
05:41
The message that UNAIDS
137
326000
2000
Sõnum, mida UNAIDS
05:43
are currently sending out to the world
138
328000
2000
praegu maailmale saadab, on see,
05:45
is that we would like to see the virtual elimination
139
330000
3000
et aastaks 2015 tahame näha HI-viiruse
05:48
of the transmission of the virus
140
333000
2000
emalt lapsele ülekandumise
05:50
from mother to child by 2015.
141
335000
3000
täielikku kadumist.
05:53
It's a very ambitious goal
142
338000
2000
See on väga ambitsioonikas eesmärk,
05:55
but we believe it can be achieved with political will.
143
340000
3000
kuid me usume, et see on poliitilise abiga saavutatav.
05:58
This can happen.
144
343000
2000
See võib juhtuda!
06:00
And here I am with a pregnant woman,
145
345000
2000
Siin olen ma koos HIV-positiivse
06:02
who is HIV positive
146
347000
2000
raseda naisega
06:04
and we're smiling, both of us are smiling, because we're very confident,
147
349000
3000
ja me mõlemad naeratame, sest me oleme enesekindlad.
06:07
because we know that that young woman
148
352000
3000
Sest me teame, et see noor naine
06:10
is receiving treatment
149
355000
2000
saab ravi ja
06:12
so her life can be extended
150
357000
2000
et tema elu on võimalik pikendada, et
06:14
to take care of the baby she's about to give birth to.
151
359000
3000
ta saaks hoolt kanda oma sündiva lapse eest.
06:17
And her baby will receive PMTCT,
152
362000
3000
Tema laps saab PMTCT ravi,
06:20
which will mean that that baby
153
365000
2000
mis tähendab, et see laps
06:22
can be born free of the virus.
154
367000
2000
saab sündida viirusevabalt.
06:24
Now that is prevention
155
369000
2000
See on ennetamine
06:26
at the very beginning of life.
156
371000
2000
väga varajases eluetapis.
06:28
It's one way to start looking at intervention
157
373000
3000
See on üks viis, kuidas sekkuda
06:31
with the AIDS pandemic.
158
376000
2000
AIDS-i pandeemiasse.
06:33
Now, I just would like to finish off
159
378000
2000
Lõpetuseks räägin
06:35
to tell you the little story
160
380000
2000
ühe loo
06:37
about Avelile.
161
382000
2000
Avelile'st.
06:39
This is Avelile --
162
384000
2000
See on Avelile -
06:41
she goes with me wherever I go.
163
386000
2000
ta käib minuga kõikjal koos.
06:43
I tell her story to everyone
164
388000
2000
Räägin tema lugu kõigile,
06:45
because she represents
165
390000
2000
kuna tema esindab
06:47
one of millions
166
392000
2000
ühte miljonitest
06:49
of HIV/AIDS orphans.
167
394000
2000
HIVi/AIDSi orbudest.
06:51
Avelile's mother
168
396000
2000
Avelile emal
06:53
had HIV virus --
169
398000
2000
oli HI-viirus.
06:55
she died
170
400000
2000
Ta suri
06:57
from AIDS-related illness.
171
402000
2000
AIDS-i põhjustatud haigusesse.
06:59
Avelile had the virus,
172
404000
2000
Avelile'l oli samuti HIV,
07:01
she was born with the virus.
173
406000
2000
ta sündis sellega.
07:03
And here she is at seven years old,
174
408000
3000
Siin on ta seitsmeaastane,
07:06
weighing no more than a one year-old baby.
175
411000
2000
kaaludes sama palju, kui ühe-aastane laps.
07:08
At this point in her life,
176
413000
2000
Sel ajal kannatas Avelile
07:10
she's suffering with full-blown AIDS
177
415000
2000
juba AIDS-i käes ja
07:12
and had pneumonia.
178
417000
2000
tal oli kopsupõletik.
07:14
We met her in a hospital in the Eastern Cape
179
419000
3000
Kohtusin temaga Ida-Cape'i provintsi haiglas
07:17
and spent a whole afternoon with her -- an adorable child.
180
422000
3000
ja veetsin temaga pärastlõuna. Hurmav laps!
07:20
The doctors and nurses were phenomenal.
181
425000
2000
Haigla arstid ja õed olid fenomenaalsed -
07:22
They put her on very special nutritious diet
182
427000
3000
nad olid pannud Avelile erilisele toitvale dieedile
07:25
and took great care of her.
183
430000
3000
ja hoolitsesid tema eest hästi.
07:28
And we didn't know when we left the hospital --
184
433000
2000
Kui haiglast lahkusime, - me filmisime tema lugu - ei teadnud me
07:30
because we filmed her story -- we didn't know if she was going to survive.
185
435000
3000
kas Avelile jääb ellu.
07:33
So, it was obviously -- it was a very emotional encounter
186
438000
3000
Niisiis, see oli väga emotsionaalne kohtumine,
07:36
and left us feeling very resonant
187
441000
2000
sest see oli meie jaoks otsene,
07:38
with this direct experience, this one child,
188
443000
3000
reaalne kokkupuude HIV/AIDSiga, selle lapsega,
07:41
you know, that story.
189
446000
2000
selle looga.
07:43
Five months later,
190
448000
3000
Viis kuud hiljem
07:46
we went back to South Africa
191
451000
2000
läksime tagasi Lõuna-Aafrikasse, et
07:48
to meet Avelile again.
192
453000
3000
Avelilega kohtuda.
07:51
And I'm getting --
193
456000
2000
Ja... ma...
07:53
the hairs on my -- I don't know if you can see the hairs on my arms.
194
458000
2000
Ma ei tea, kas te näete mu käekarvu...
07:55
They're standing up because I know what I'm going to show you.
195
460000
3000
Need on püsti, sest ma tean, mida ma teile kohe näitan.
07:58
This is the transformation that took place.
196
463000
3000
See on muutus, mis Avelile'ga oli aset leidnud.
08:03
Isn't it extraordinary?
197
468000
2000
Kas see pole mitte imeline?
08:05
(Applause)
198
470000
10000
(Aplaus)
08:15
That round of applause is actually
199
480000
2000
See aplaus on tegelikult suunatud
08:17
for the doctors and nurses of the hospital who took care of Avelile.
200
482000
3000
neile arstidele ja õdedele, kes Avelile eest hoolt kandsid.
08:20
And I take it that you appreciate that kind of transformation.
201
485000
3000
Tundub, et teile meeldivad sellised muutused!
08:24
So, I would like to say to you,
202
489000
2000
Tahan teile öelda,
08:26
each one in the audience,
203
491000
2000
igaühele siin publiku seas -
08:28
if you feel that every mother
204
493000
3000
kui te tunnete, et igal emal
08:31
and every child in the world
205
496000
2000
ja igal lapsel
08:33
has the right to have access
206
498000
2000
on õigus
08:35
to good nutrition and good medical care,
207
500000
3000
heale toitumisele ja heale meditsiiniabile,
08:38
and you believe that the Millennium Development Goals,
208
503000
3000
ja te usute, et ÜRO Millenium Development Goals (rahvusvahelised arenguplaanid),
08:41
specifically five and six,
209
506000
2000
eriti punktid viis ja kuus,
08:43
should be absolutely committed to
210
508000
3000
peaksid olema iga valitsuse
08:46
by all governments around the world --
211
511000
2000
peaeesmärgid,
08:48
especially in sub-Saharan Africa --
212
513000
2000
eriti just Sahara kõrbest lõuna pool olevas Aafrikas,
08:50
could you please stand up.
213
515000
2000
palun tõuske püsti.
08:58
I think that's fair to say,
214
523000
2000
Usun, et mul on õigus, kui ütlen,
09:00
it's almost everyone in the hall.
215
525000
3000
et pea kõik inimesed saalis on püsti tõusnud.
09:03
Thank you very much.
216
528000
2000
Suur tänu!
09:05
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Annie Lennox - Activist, singer-songwriterThe most successful female British pop musician in history, Annie Lennox has now committed herself to raising awareness of, and supporting actions against, the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa.
Why you should listen
After decades of global fame as part of Eurythmics and as a solo artist, Annie Lennox was moved by Nelson Mandela's call to stop the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa, where it disproportionately affects women and children. She founded the SING campaign in 2007 to raise both awareness and money. "This is an illness that has a lot of stigma," Lennox says on her video blog. "What we need to do is normalize HIV."
Drawing on her talents, she combines music and film to put a human face on the crisis and emotionally connect people to the cause. South Africa has a tradition of activist songs and singing; inspired by this, in spring 2007 Lennox invited 23 female artists to record the benefit single "Sing." The record incorporates the South African activist song "Jikelele," which means "global treatment." So far, sales of "Sing" have raised 100,000 pounds, while other appearances since then have multiplied that sum. SING's money goes to support efforts such as the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), which works to fight mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Lennox is active in many other causes, both personal and political; in 2008 she was awarded the Services to Humanity Award by the British Red Cross.
