U ovom strastvenom govoru, Eve Ensler objavljuje da se u svima nama nalazi stanica djevojke – stanica koju smo svi naučili zataškavati. Priča iskrene priče o djevojkama širom svijeta koje su prešle preko šokantnih nedaća i nasilja ne bi li otkrile začuđujuću snagu toga kako je biti djevojka.

Namaste. Dobro jutro.
00:18
I'm very happy to be here in India.
1
3000
2000
Veoma mi je drago da sam ovdje u Indiji.
00:20
And I've been thinking a lot about what I have learned
2
5000
3000
I mnogo sam razmišljala o tome što sam naučila
00:23
over these last particularly 11 years
3
8000
3000
u ovih posljednjih 11 godina
00:26
with V-Day and "The Vagina Monologues,"
4
11000
2000
sa V-Day-om (organizacija protiv nasilja nad ženama) i „Vagininim monolozima“
00:28
traveling the world,
5
13000
2000
putujući svijetom,
00:30
essentially meeting with women and girls across the planet
6
15000
2000
upoznajući se sa djevojkama i ženama diljem planeta
00:32
to stop violence against women.
7
17000
3000
ne bi li spriječili nasilje nad ženama.
00:35
What I want to talk about today
8
20000
2000
Ono o čemu danas želim govoriti je ta
00:37
is this particular cell,
9
22000
3000
posebna stanica
00:40
or grouping of cells, that is in each and every one of us.
10
25000
3000
ili grupa stanica koja je u svakome od nas.
00:43
And I want to call it the girl cell.
11
28000
3000
I želim ju nazvati stanica djevojka.
00:46
And it's in men as well as in women.
12
31000
2000
I nalazi se u muškarcima jednako kao i u ženama.
00:48
I want you to imagine that this particular grouping of cells
13
33000
4000
Želim da zamislite da je ta određena grupa stanica
00:52
is central to the evolution of our species
14
37000
3000
središte evolucije naše vrste
00:55
and the continuation of the human race.
15
40000
3000
i nastavak ljudske rase.
00:58
And I want you imagine that at some point in history
16
43000
2000
I želim da zamislite da je grupa moćnih ljudi u nekom trenu u povijesti
01:00
a group of powerful people invested in owning and controlling the world
17
45000
4000
uložila u posjedovanje i kontrolu svijeta
01:04
understood that the suppression of this particular cell,
18
49000
4000
kako bi on razumio da je suzbijanje te stanice,
01:08
the oppression of these cells,
19
53000
2000
tlačenje tih stanica,
01:10
the reinterpretation of these cells,
20
55000
2000
reinterpretacija tih stanica,
01:12
the undermining of these cells,
21
57000
2000
potkopavanje tih stanica,
01:14
getting us to believe in the weakness of these cells
22
59000
2000
navelo nas da povjerujemo u slabost tih stanica
01:16
and the crushing, eradicating, destroying,
23
61000
4000
i gnječenje, iskorijenjivanje, uništavanje,
01:20
reducing these cells,
24
65000
3000
smanjivanje tih stanica,
01:23
basically began the process of killing off the girl cell,
25
68000
3000
te je zapravo započeo proces ubijanja stanice djevojke,
01:26
which was, by the way, patriarchy.
26
71000
3000
što je, usput, bio patrijarhat.
01:29
I want you to imagine that the girl is a chip
27
74000
3000
Želim da zamislite da je djevojka čip
01:32
in the huge macrocosm of collective consciousness.
28
77000
3000
u velikom svemiru kolektivne svijesti.
01:35
And it is essential to balance, to wisdom
29
80000
3000
I osnova je ravnoteži, mudrosti
01:38
and to actually the future of all of us.
30
83000
4000
i stvarnoj budućnosti svih nas.
01:42
And then I want you to imagine that this girl cell
31
87000
2000
I onda želim da zamislite da je ova stanica djevojka
01:44
is compassion,
32
89000
4000
suosjećanje,
01:48
and it's empathy, and it's passion itself,
33
93000
2000
i empatija, i strast sama po sebi,
01:50
and it's vulnerability,
34
95000
2000
i ranjivost,
01:52
and it's openness, and it's intensity,
35
97000
2000
i otvorenost, i jačina,
01:54
and it's association, and it's relationship,
36
99000
2000
i udruženje, i veza,
01:56
and it is intuitive.
37
101000
3000
i da je intuitivna.
01:59
And then let's think how compassion informs wisdom,
38
104000
4000
I pomislimo sada kako suosjećanje informira mudrost
02:03
and that vulnerability is our greatest strength,
39
108000
3000
i kako je ranjivost naša najveća snaga
02:06
and that emotions have inherent logic,
40
111000
2000
te kako osjećaji imaju imanentnu logiku
02:08
which lead to radical, appropriate, saving action.
41
113000
3000
koja vodi do radikalne, prikladne akcije spašavanja.
02:11
And then let's remember that we've been taught
42
116000
2000
I onda se prisjetimo kako su nas oni moćniji učili
02:13
the exact opposite by the powers that be,
43
118000
2000
da je upravo suprotno,
02:15
that compassion clouds your thinking,
44
120000
2000
da suosjećanje zamračuje sposobnost razmišljanja,
02:17
that it gets in the way,
45
122000
2000
da ometa,
02:19
that vulnerability is weakness,
46
124000
2000
da ranjivost je slabost,
02:21
that emotions are not to be trusted,
47
126000
2000
da se osjećajima ne treba vjerovati,
02:23
and you're not supposed to take things personally,
48
128000
2000
i da ne biste trebali stvari shvaćati osobno,
02:25
which is one of my favorites.
49
130000
3000
što je jedno od meni najdražih.
02:28
I think the whole world has essentially
50
133000
3000
Mislim da je cijeli svijet u suštini
02:31
been brought up not to be a girl.
51
136000
2000
odgojen da ne bude djevojka.
02:33
How do we bring up boys? What does it mean to be a boy?
52
138000
2000
Kako smo stvorili dječake? Što znači biti dječak?
02:35
To be a boy really means not to be a girl.
53
140000
3000
Biti dječak zaista znači ne biti djevojka.
02:38
To be a man means not to be a girl.
54
143000
3000
Biti muškarac znači ne biti djevojka.
02:41
To be a woman means not to be a girl.
55
146000
2000
Biti žena znači ne biti djevojka.
02:43
To be strong means not to be a girl.
56
148000
2000
Biti jak znači ne biti djevojka.
02:45
To be a leader means not to be a girl.
57
150000
2000
Biti vođa znači ne biti djevojka.
02:47
I actually think that
58
152000
3000
Zaista mislim da je
02:50
being a girl is so powerful
59
155000
3000
biti djevojka toliko snažno
02:53
that we've had to train everyone not to be that.
60
158000
3000
da smo morali sve istrenirati kako to ne bismo bili.
02:56
(Laughter)
61
161000
6000
(Smijeh)
03:02
And I'd also like to say that the irony
62
167000
2000
I također bih voljela reći kako nas je ironija,
03:04
of course, is that denying girl,
63
169000
2000
naravno, a to je odbijanje djevojke,
03:06
suppressing girl, suppressing emotion,
64
171000
2000
gušenje djevojke, potiskivanje osjećaja,
03:08
refusing feeling has lead thus here.
65
173000
3000
odbijanje osjećaja, dovela ovdje.
03:11
Where we have now come to live in a world where
66
176000
3000
Došli smo do toga da živimo u svijetu gdje
03:14
the most extreme forms of violence,
67
179000
2000
su najekstremniji oblici nasilja
03:16
the most horrific poverty,
68
181000
3000
među strašnim siromaštvom,
03:19
genocide, mass rapes,
69
184000
2000
genocidima, masovnim silovanjima,
03:21
the destruction of the Earth, is completely out of control.
70
186000
3000
uništavanjem Zemlje, potpuno izvan kontrole.
03:24
And because we have suppressed our girl cells
71
189000
2000
I to zato što smo potisnuli svoje stanice djevojke
03:26
and suppressed our girl-ship,
72
191000
2000
i potisnuli naš djevojački brod,
03:28
we do not feel what is going on.
73
193000
2000
zato ne osjećamo što se događa.
03:30
So, we are not being charged with
74
195000
4000
Dakle, nismo opremljeni s
03:34
the adequate response to what is happening.
75
199000
2000
prikladnim odazivom na to što se događa.
03:36
I want to talk a little bit about
76
201000
2000
Želim malo pričati o
03:38
the Democratic Republic of Congo.
77
203000
2000
Demokratskoj Republici Kongo.
03:40
For me, it was the turning point of my life.
78
205000
3000
Za mene, to je bio ključan trenutak u životu.
03:43
I have spent a lot of time there in the last three years.
79
208000
3000
Provela sam mnogo vremena tamo u posljednje tri godine.
03:46
I feel up to that point I had seen a lot in the world,
80
211000
3000
Došla sam do te točke da sam vidjela mnogo u svijetu,
03:49
a lot of violence.
81
214000
2000
mnogo nasilja.
03:51
I essentially lived in the rape mines of the world for the last 12 years.
82
216000
3000
Zapravo sam živjela u svjetskim rudnicima silovanja zadnjih 12 godina.
03:54
But the Democratic Republic of Congo
83
219000
3000
Ali Demokratska Republika Kongo
03:57
really was the turning point in my soul.
84
222000
4000
zaista je bila točka preokreta u mojoj duši.
04:01
I went and I spent time
85
226000
2000
Otišla sam i provela vrijeme
04:03
in a place called Bukavu
86
228000
2000
u mjestu koje se zove Bukavu
04:05
in a hospital called the Panzi Hospital,
87
230000
2000
u bolnici imenom Panzi,
04:07
with a doctor who was as close to a saint as any person I've ever met.
88
232000
3000
s doktorom koji je bio toliko blizu svecu kao nijedna osoba koju sam upoznala.
04:10
His name is Dr. Denis Mukwege.
89
235000
3000
Njegovo ime je dr. Denis Mukwege.
04:13
In the Congo, for those of you who don't know,
90
238000
3000
I u Kongu, za vas koji ne znate,
04:16
there has been a war raging for the last 12 years,
91
241000
3000
posljednjih je 12 godina trajao rat,
04:19
a war that has killed nearly six million people.
92
244000
3000
rat u kojem je ubijeno oko šest milijuna ljudi.
04:22
It is estimated that somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 women
93
247000
4000
Procijenjeno je da je tamo silovano negdje između
04:26
have been raped there.
94
251000
2000
300 i 500 tisuća žena.
04:28
When I spent my first weeks at Panzi hospital
95
253000
3000
U prvim tjednima koje sam provela u bolnici Panzi,
04:31
I sat with women
96
256000
2000
sjedila sam pokraj žena
04:33
who sat and lined up every day to tell me their stories.
97
258000
3000
koje bi čekale u redu svaki dan da mi pričaju svoje priče.
04:36
Their stories were so horrific,
98
261000
2000
I njihove se priče bile toliko užasavajuće strašne,
04:38
and so mind-blowing and so on the other side of human existence,
99
263000
3000
i toliko na drugoj strani ljudske egzistencije
04:41
that to be perfectly honest with you, I was shattered.
100
266000
4000
da sam iskreno bila shrvana.
04:45
And I will tell you that what happened
101
270000
2000
I reći ću vam što se dogodilo
04:47
is through that shattering,
102
272000
2000
kroz tu shrvanost,
04:49
listening to the stories of eight-year-old girls who had their insides eviscerated,
103
274000
4000
slušajući priče osmogodišnjih djevojčica kojima je utroba bila izvađena,
04:53
who had guns and bayonets and things shoved inside them
104
278000
3000
kojima su pištolji i bajuneti i razne stvari bile ugurane u njih
04:56
so they had holes, literally, inside them
105
281000
2000
tako da su doslovno imale rupe
04:58
where their pee and poop came out of them.
106
283000
2000
iz kojih je izlazila mokraća i stolica.
05:00
Listening to the story of 80-year-old women
107
285000
2000
Slušajući priču osamdesetogodišnjakinja
05:02
who were tied to chains and circled,
108
287000
3000
koje su bile vezane lancima i okružene,
05:05
and where groups of men would come and rape them periodically,
109
290000
3000
gdje su grupe muškaraca dolazile i naizmjence ih silovale,
05:08
all in the name of economic exploitation
110
293000
2000
sve u ime ekonomske eksploatacije
05:10
to steal the minerals so the West can have it and profit from them.
111
295000
4000
koja je krala minerale kako bi ih Zapad mogao dobiti i imati zaradu na njima.
05:14
My mind was so shattered.
112
299000
3000
Um mi je bio rastrojen.
05:17
But what happened for me is that that shattering
113
302000
4000
Ali ono što mi se dogodilo je to da me ta rastrojenost
05:21
actually emboldened me
114
306000
2000
zapravo ohrabrila
05:23
in a way I have never been emboldened.
115
308000
3000
na način na koji nikad nisam bila hrabra.
05:26
That shattering, that opening of my girl cell,
116
311000
3000
Ta rastrojenost, to otvaranje moje stanice djevojke,
05:29
that kind of massive breakthrough of my heart
117
314000
6000
to nekakvo golemo prodiranje mog srca
05:35
allowed me to become more courageous, and braver,
118
320000
3000
mi je omogućilo da budem snažnija i hrabrija
05:38
and actually more clever
119
323000
2000
i zapravo pametnija
05:40
than I had been in the past in my life.
120
325000
2000
no ikad prije u životu.
05:42
I want to say that I think the powers that be
121
327000
3000
I želim reći da mislim da moći
05:45
know that empire-building
122
330000
2000
koje su gradile carstvo,
05:47
is actually -- that feelings get in the way of empire-building.
123
332000
4000
zapravo je da su osjećaji stali na put tom carstvu.
05:51
Feelings get in the way of the mass acquisition of the Earth,
124
336000
3000
Osjećaji su se našli na putu masovne akvizicije Zemlje
05:54
and excavating the Earth, and destroying things.
125
339000
2000
i kopaju Zemlju i uništavaju stvari.
05:56
I remember, for example, when my father,
126
341000
2000
Sjećam se, na primjer kad me moj otac,
05:58
who was very, very violent, used to beat me.
127
343000
3000
koji je bio veoma, veoma nasilan, znao tući.
06:01
And he would actually say, while he was beating me,
128
346000
2000
I on bi zapravo rekao, dok me tukao,
06:03
"Don't you cry. Don't you dare cry."
129
348000
2000
„Nemoj plakati. Da se nisi usudila plakati.“
06:05
Because my crying somehow exposed his brutality to him.
130
350000
4000
Zato što mu je moje plakanje nekako otkrilo njegovu brutalnost.
06:09
And even in the moment he didn't want to be reminded
131
354000
2000
A čak i u trenucima kad nije želio biti podsjećan
06:11
of what he was doing.
132
356000
2000
na to što je radio.
06:13
I know that we have systematically annihilated the girl cell.
133
358000
4000
Znam da smo sustavno istrijebili stanicu djevojku.
06:17
And I want to say we've annihilated it in men as well as in women.
134
362000
3000
Želim reći da smo ju istrijebili iz muškaraca jednako kao i iz žena.
06:20
And I think in some ways
135
365000
2000
Mislim da smo na neki način
06:22
we've been much harsher to men
136
367000
2000
bili mnogo grublji pri istrijebljivanju stanice
06:24
in the annihilation of their girl cell.
137
369000
2000
djevojke iz muškaraca.
06:26
(Applause)
138
371000
1000
(Pljesak)
06:27
I see how boys have been brought up, and I see this across the planet:
139
372000
4000
Vidim kako se dječaci podižu, i vidim diljem čitavog svijeta,
06:31
to be tough, to be hardened,
140
376000
3000
biti žilavi, očvrsnuti,
06:34
to distance themselves from their tenderness, to not cry.
141
379000
4000
biti udaljeni od svoje suosjećajnosti, ne plakati.
06:38
I actually realized once in Kosovo,
142
383000
2000
Zapravo sam jednom na Kosovu primijetila,
06:40
when I watched a man break down,
143
385000
2000
kada sam gledala kako se muškarac slama,
06:42
that bullets are actually hardened tears,
144
387000
3000
da su metci zapravo očvrsnuli suze,
06:45
that when we don't allow men to have their girl self
145
390000
4000
da kada ne dopustimo muškarcima da u sebi imaju djevojku
06:49
and have their vulnerability, and have their compassion,
146
394000
2000
i da imaju svoju ranjivost, i svoje suosjećanje
06:51
and have their hearts, that they become hardened and hurtful
147
396000
3000
i da imaju svoja srca, da su postali čvrsti i skloni ozljeđivanju
06:54
and violent.
148
399000
2000
i nasilni.
06:56
And I think we have taught men to be secure
149
401000
2000
Mislim da smo naučili muškarce da budu sigurni
06:58
when they are insecure,
150
403000
2000
kada su nesigurni,
07:00
to pretend they know things when they don't know things,
151
405000
2000
da se pretvaraju da sve znaju kad ne znaju
07:02
or why would we be where we are?
152
407000
2000
jer zašto bismo inače bili tu gdje jesmo?
07:04
To pretend they're not a mess when they are a mess.
153
409000
3000
Pretvarati se da nisu u škripcu kad jesu.
07:07
And I will tell you a very funny story.
154
412000
2000
I ispričat ću vam veoma smiješnu priču.
07:09
On my way here on the airplane, I was walking up and down the aisle of the plane.
155
414000
3000
Na putu ovamo, u zrakoplovu, hodala sam gore dolje po prolazu.
07:12
And all these men, literally at least 10 men,
156
417000
4000
I svi ti muškarci, doslovno najmanje 10 muškaraca
07:16
were in their little seats watching chick flicks.
157
421000
3000
bilo je u svojim malim sjedalima i gledali su „ženske filmove“.
07:19
And they were all alone, and I thought, "This is the secret life of men."
158
424000
3000
I svi su bili sami i pomislila sam, „Ovo je tajni život muškaraca.“
07:22
(Laughter)
159
427000
4000
(Smijeh)
07:26
I've traveled, as I said,
160
431000
2000
Putovala sam, kao što sam rekla,
07:28
to many, many countries,
161
433000
2000
u mnoge zemlje
07:30
and I've seen, if we do what we do to the girl inside us
162
435000
4000
i vidjela sam, ako radimo to što radimo djevojci u sebi,
07:34
then obviously it's horrific to think
163
439000
2000
da je tada očito užasno pomisliti
07:36
what we do to girls in the world.
164
441000
2000
što radimo djevojkama u svijetu.
07:38
And we heard from Sunitha yesterday,
165
443000
2000
I čuli smo od Sunithe jučer
07:40
and Kavita about what we do to girls.
166
445000
2000
i Kavite o tome što radimo djevojkama.
07:42
But I just want to say that
167
447000
2000
Ali samo želim reći da sam
07:44
I've met girls with knife wounds and cigarette burns,
168
449000
3000
upoznala djevojke s ranama od noževa i opeklinama od cigareta
07:47
who are literally being treated like ashtrays.
169
452000
2000
koje su doslovno bile tretirane kao pepeljare.
07:49
I've seen girls be treated like garbage cans.
170
454000
3000
Vidjela sam djevojke koje su bile tretirane kao koševi za smeće.
07:52
I've seen girls who were beaten by their mothers
171
457000
2000
Vidjela sam djevojke koje su pretučene od vlastitih majki,
07:54
and brothers and fathers and uncles.
172
459000
3000
braće, očeva i ujaka.
07:57
I've seen girls starving themselves to death in America
173
462000
3000
Vidjela sam djevojke koje se izgladnjuju do smrti u Americi
08:00
in institutions to look like some idealized version of themselves.
174
465000
3000
u ustanovama kako bi izgledale kao nekakva idealna verzija same sebe.
08:03
I've seen that we cut girls and we control them
175
468000
2000
Vidjela sam da prekidamo djevojke i kontroliramo ih
08:05
and we keep them illiterate,
176
470000
2000
i držimo ih nepismenima
08:07
or we make them feel bad about being too smart.
177
472000
2000
ili im nabijamo osjećaj krivnje ako smatramo da su previše pametne.
08:09
We silence them. We make them feel guilty
178
474000
2000
Ušutkujemo ih. Nabijamo im osjećaj krivnje
08:11
for being smart. We get them to behave,
179
476000
2000
zato što su pametne. Učimo ih kako da se ponašaju,
08:13
to tone it down, not to be too intense.
180
478000
3000
da se stišaju, da ne budu žestoke.
08:16
We sell them, we kill them as embryos,
181
481000
2000
Prodajemo ih, ubijamo ih dok su još embriji.
08:18
we enslave them, we rape them.
182
483000
3000
Zarobljujemo ih. Silujemo ih.
08:21
We are so accustomed to robbing girls
183
486000
2000
Tako smo navikli krasti djevojkama
08:23
of the subject of being the subjects of their lives
184
488000
3000
ideju da budu tema svog života
08:26
that we have now actually objectified them
185
491000
2000
da smo ih sada zapravo objektivizirali
08:28
and turned them into commodities.
186
493000
2000
i pretvorili u robu.
08:30
The selling of girls is rampant across the planet.
187
495000
3000
Prodaja djevojaka golema je diljem svijeta.
08:33
And in many places they are worth less than goats and cows.
188
498000
5000
I na mnogim mjestima vrijede manje nego ovce i krave.
08:38
But I also want to talk about the fact that
189
503000
2000
Ali također želim govoriti o činjenici da,
08:40
if one in eight people on the planet
190
505000
3000
ako su jedna od osmero ljudi na planetu
08:43
are girls between the ages of 10 to 24,
191
508000
3000
djevojke između 10 i 24 godine,
08:46
they are they key, really, in the developing world,
192
511000
3000
one su ključ, zaista, u razvoju svijeta,
08:49
as well as in the whole world, to the future of humanity.
193
514000
3000
jednako kao i u cijelom svijetu za budućnost čovječanstva.
08:52
And if girls are in trouble because they face systematic disadvantages
194
517000
3000
I ako djevojke imaju problema zbog sustavnih nedostataka na licu,
08:55
that keep them where society wants them to be,
195
520000
3000
koji ih drže tamo gdje društvo želi da budu,
08:58
including lack of access to healthcare,
196
523000
2000
uključujući manjak pristupa zdravstvenoj njezi,
09:00
education, healthy foods,
197
525000
2000
obrazovanju, zdravoj hrani,
09:02
labor force participation.
198
527000
2000
sudjelovanju u radnoj snazi.
09:04
The burden of all the household tasks
199
529000
2000
Kako bi olakšali zadatke u kućanstvu,
09:06
usually falls on girls and younger siblings,
200
531000
3000
najčešće nastradaju djevojčice i mlađa braća.
09:09
which ensures that they will never overcome these barriers.
201
534000
3000
Što osigurava to da nikad neće prijeći preko ovih prepreka.
09:12
The state of girls, the condition of girls,
202
537000
2000
Stanje djevojaka, kondicija djevojaka,
09:14
will, in my belief -- and that's the girl inside us
203
539000
3000
će, prema mom uvjerenju, a to je djevojka u nama
09:17
and the girl in the world -- determine whether
204
542000
2000
i djevojka u svijetu, biti određeni ovisno
09:19
the species survives.
205
544000
2000
o tome hoće li vrsta preživjeti.
09:21
And what I want to suggest is that,
206
546000
3000
I ono što želim predložiti je,
09:24
having talked to girls, because I just finished a new book called
207
549000
3000
razgovarajući s djevojkama, zato što sam upravo završila knjigu pod nazivom
09:27
"I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World,"
208
552000
3000
„Ja sam emocionalno biće: Tajni život djevojaka diljem svijeta,“
09:30
I've been talking to girls for five years,
209
555000
2000
da sam razgovarala s djevojkama pet godina,
09:32
and one of the things that I've seen is true everywhere
210
557000
3000
i jedna od stvari koje sam vidjela, a istinita je svugdje
09:35
is that the verb that's been enforced on girl
211
560000
2000
ta da je glagol koji je primijenjen na djevojkama
09:37
is the verb "to please."
212
562000
2000
je glagol „zadovoljiti.“
09:39
Girls are trained to please.
213
564000
3000
Djevojke su istrenirane da zadovolje.
09:42
I want to change the verb.
214
567000
2000
Želim promijeniti glagol.
09:44
I want us all to change the verb.
215
569000
2000
Želim da svi mi promijenimo glagol.
09:46
I want the verb to be "educate,"
216
571000
2000
Želim da glagol bude „educirati“
09:48
or "activate," or "engage,"
217
573000
2000
ili „aktivirati“ ili „sudjelovati“
09:50
or "confront," or "defy," or "create."
218
575000
3000
ili „suočiti se“ ili „prkositi“ ili „stvarati.“
09:53
If we teach girls to change the verb
219
578000
3000
Ako naučimo djevojke da promijene glagol,
09:56
we will actually enforce the girl inside us
220
581000
3000
zapravo ćemo potaknuti djevojku u nama
09:59
and the girl inside them.
221
584000
2000
i djevojku u njima.
10:01
And I have to now share a few stories
222
586000
3000
I sada moram podijeliti s vama nekoliko priča
10:04
of girls I've seen across the planet
223
589000
2000
o djevojkama koje sam vidjela diljem planeta
10:06
who have engaged their girl,
224
591000
2000
koje su angažirale svoju djevojku,
10:08
who have taken on their girl in spite of
225
593000
2000
koje su prihvatile svoju djevojku u inat
10:10
all the circumstances around them.
226
595000
3000
svim okolnostima oko njih.
10:13
I know a 14-year-old girl in the Netherlands,
227
598000
2000
Znam 14-ogodišnju djevojku u Nizozemskoj,
10:15
for example, who is demanding that she take a boat
228
600000
4000
na primjer, koja je zahtjevala da uzme brod
10:19
and go around the entire world by herself.
229
604000
3000
i krene na put oko svijeta sama samcata.
10:22
There is a teenage girl who just recently
230
607000
2000
Postoji jedna adolescentica koja je baš nedavno
10:24
went out and knew that she needed 56 stars
231
609000
3000
izašla van i znala je da treba istetovirati 56 zvijezda
10:27
tattooed on the right side of her face.
232
612000
2000
na desnoj strani svog lica.
10:29
There is a girl, Julia Butterfly Hill,
233
614000
3000
Postoji djevojka, Julia Butterfly Hill
10:32
who lived for a year in a tree
234
617000
2000
koja je živjela godinu dana na drvetu
10:34
because she wanted to protect the wild oaks.
235
619000
3000
zato što je željela zaštititi divlje hrastove.
10:37
There is a girl who I met 14 years ago in Afghanistan
236
622000
4000
Postoji djevojka koju sam upoznala prije 14 godina u Afganistanu
10:41
who I have adopted as my daughter
237
626000
2000
i koju sam posvojila kao svoju kćer
10:43
because her mother was killed. Her mother was a revolutionary.
238
628000
3000
jer joj je majka ubijena. Majka joj je bila revolucionarka.
10:46
And this girl, when she was 17 years old,
239
631000
3000
I ta je djevojka, kada je imala 17 godina
10:49
wore a burqa in Afghanistan,
240
634000
2000
nosila burku u Afganistanu
10:51
and went into the stadiums
241
636000
2000
i išla na stadione i
10:53
and documented the atrocities that were going on towards women,
242
638000
4000
svjedočila grozotama koje su se provodile nad ženama,
10:57
underneath her burqa, with a video.
243
642000
2000
pod burkom, s videom.
10:59
And that video became the video that went out all over the world
244
644000
3000
I ta snimka postala je snimka koja je okružila svijet
11:02
after 9/11 to show what was going on in Afghanistan.
245
647000
5000
nakon 11.09. da bi pokazala što se događa u Afganistanu.
11:07
I want to talk about Rachel Corrie
246
652000
2000
Željela bih govoriti o Rachel Corrie
11:09
who was in her teens when she stood in front of an Israeli tank
247
654000
3000
koja je bila u pubertetu kada je stala pred izraelski tenk
11:12
to say, "End the occupation."
248
657000
2000
da bi rekla „završite s okupacijom.“
11:14
And she knew she risked death and she was literally gunned down
249
659000
3000
I znala je da se igra sa smrću i doslovno je bila ustrijeljena
11:17
and rolled over by that tank.
250
662000
3000
i oborena tenkom.
11:20
And I want to talk about a girl that I just met recently
251
665000
2000
I želim pričati o djevojci koju sam nedavno upoznala
11:22
in Bukavu, who was impregnated by her rapist.
252
667000
4000
u Bukavu, koja je ostala trudna sa svojim silovateljem.
11:26
And she was holding her baby.
253
671000
2000
I držala je svoje dijete.
11:28
And I asked her if she loved her baby.
254
673000
2000
I pitala sam voli li svoje dijete.
11:30
And she looked into her baby's eyes and she said,
255
675000
2000
A ona je pogledala u djetetove oči i rekla:
11:32
"Of course I love my baby. How could I not love my baby?
256
677000
4000
„Naravno da volim svoje dijete. Kako ne bih voljela svoje dijete?
11:36
It's my baby and it's full of love."
257
681000
2000
To je moje dijete i puno je ljubavi.“
11:38
The capacity for girls to overcome situations
258
683000
4000
Smještaji za djevojke da bi savladale takve situacije
11:42
and to move on levels, to me, is mind-blowing.
259
687000
4000
i nastavile dalje, za mene, su grozne.
11:46
There is a girl named Dorcas, and I just met her in Kenya.
260
691000
2000
I postoji djevojka po imenu Dorcas. Nedavno sam je upoznala u Keniji.
11:48
Dorcas is 15 years old,
261
693000
2000
Dorcas ima 15 godina.
11:50
and she was trained in self-defense.
262
695000
2000
Trenirala je samoobranu.
11:52
A few months ago she was picked up on the street
263
697000
3000
I prije nekoliko mjeseci na ulici su
11:55
by three older men.
264
700000
2000
ju pokupila tri starija muškarca.
11:57
They kidnapped her, they put her in a car.
265
702000
3000
Oteli su ju, ugurali u auto.
12:00
And through her self-defense, she grabbed their Adam's apples,
266
705000
2000
I pomoću samoobrane, zgrabila ih je za Adamove jabučice,
12:02
she punched them in the eyes
267
707000
2000
lupila ih u oči,
12:04
and she got herself free and out of the car.
268
709000
4000
oslobodila se i pobjegla iz auta.
12:08
In Kenya, in August,
269
713000
2000
U Keniji sam u kolovozu
12:10
I went to visit one of the V-Day safe houses for girls,
270
715000
3000
otišla posjetiti jednu od V-Day sigurnih kuća za djevojke,
12:13
a house we opened seven years ago
271
718000
2000
kuću koju smo otvorili prije sedam godina
12:15
with an amazing woman named Agnes Pareyio.
272
720000
3000
uz pomoć divne žene Agnes Pareyio.
12:18
Agnes was a woman who was cut when she was a little girl,
273
723000
4000
Agnes je bila žena koja je bila osakaćena kad je bila mala djevojčica,
12:22
she was female genitally mutilated.
274
727000
2000
osakaćene su joj ženske genitalije.
12:24
And she made a decision as many women do across this planet,
275
729000
3000
I donijela je odluku kao što to rade mnoge žene diljem planeta
12:27
that what was done to her would not be enforced and done
276
732000
3000
da to što se dogodilo njoj neće biti učinjeno i nametnuto
12:30
to other women and girls.
277
735000
2000
drugim ženama i djevojkama.
12:32
So, for years Agnes walked through the Rift valley.
278
737000
2000
Dakle, godinama je Agnes hodala kroz dolinu Rift.
12:34
She taught girls what a healthy vagina looked like,
279
739000
4000
Naučila je djevojke kako izgleda zdrava vagina,
12:38
and what a mutilated vagina looked like.
280
743000
3000
a kako izgleda osakaćena vagina.
12:41
And in that time she saved many girls. And when we met her
281
746000
2000
I u to vrijeme spasila je mnogo djevojaka. I kada smo je sreli,
12:43
we asked her what we could do for her,
282
748000
2000
pitali smo ju što možemo učiniti za nju,
12:45
and she said, "Well, if you got me a Jeep I could get around a lot faster."
283
750000
4000
a ona je rekla, „Pa kada bi mi nabavili Jeep, stizala bih svuda mnogo brže.“
12:49
So, we got her a Jeep. And then she saved 4,500 girls.
284
754000
3000
Pa smo joj nabavili Jeep. I onda je spasila 4.500 djevojaka.
12:52
And then we asked her, "Okay, what else do you need?"
285
757000
2000
I onda smo je pitali, „Ok, što još trebaš?“,
12:54
And she said, "Well, now, I need a house."
286
759000
3000
a ona je rekla, „Pa, sada trebam kuću.“
12:57
So, seven years ago Agnes built the first V-Day safe house
287
762000
3000
Pa je prije sedam godina Agnes izgradila prvu V-Day sigurnu kuću
13:00
in Narok, Kenya, in the Masai land.
288
765000
3000
u Naroku u Keniji na zemlji Masaija.
13:03
And it was a house where girls could run away,
289
768000
2000
I to je bila kuća u koju bi djevojke mogle pobjeći,
13:05
they could save their clitoris, they wouldn't be cut,
290
770000
2000
mogle bi spasiti svoj klitoris, ne bi bile osakaćene,
13:07
they could go to school.
291
772000
2000
mogle bi ići u školu.
13:09
And in the years that Agnes has had the house,
292
774000
2000
I u godinama kada je Agnes imala kuću,
13:11
she has changed the situation there.
293
776000
3000
promijenila je situaciju tamo.
13:14
She has literally become deputy mayor.
294
779000
3000
Doslovno je postala zamjenica gradonačelnika.
13:17
She's changed the rules.
295
782000
3000
Promijenila je pravila.
13:20
The whole community has bought in to what she's doing.
296
785000
2000
Cijela zajednica bila je zaokupljena time što je radila.
13:22
When we were there she was doing a ritual
297
787000
3000
Kada smo bili tamo, imala je ritual
13:25
where she reconciles girls, who have run away, with their families.
298
790000
3000
u kojem spaja djevojke koje su pobjegle s njihovim obiteljima.
13:28
And there was a young girl named Jaclyn.
299
793000
3000
I tamo je bila mlada djevojka po imenu Jaclyn.
13:31
Jaclyn was 14 years old and she was in her Masai family
300
796000
3000
Jaclyn je imala 14 godina i bila je u svojoj Masai obitelji,
13:34
and there's a drought in Kenya.
301
799000
2000
a tamo je suša u Keniji.
13:36
So cows are dying, and cows are the most
302
801000
2000
I stoga krave umiru, a krave su nešto
13:38
valued possession.
303
803000
2000
najcjenjenije što možete posjedovati.
13:40
And Jaclyn overheard her father
304
805000
2000
A Jaclyn je čula kako njen otac
13:42
talking to an old man about
305
807000
2000
priča sa starijim čovjekom o
13:44
how he was about to sell her for the cows.
306
809000
3000
tome kako nju planira prodati za krave.
13:47
And she knew that meant she would be cut.
307
812000
2000
I znala je da to za nju znači da će biti osakaćena.
13:49
She knew that meant she wouldn't go to school.
308
814000
2000
Znala je da to znači da neće ići u školu.
13:51
She knew that meant she wouldn't have a future.
309
816000
2000
Znala je da to znači da neće imati budućnosti.
13:53
She knew she would have to marry that old man, and she was 14.
310
818000
3000
Znala je da će se morati udati za tog starog čovjeka, a imala je 14 godina.
13:56
So, one afternoon, she'd heard about the safe house,
311
821000
4000
Tako, jednog popodneva kad je čula za sigurnu kuću,
14:00
Jaclyn left her father's house
312
825000
2000
Jaclyn je otišla iz očeve kuće i
14:02
and she walked for two days, two days
313
827000
3000
hodala je dva dana, dva dana
14:05
through Masai land.
314
830000
2000
kroz zemlju Masaija.
14:07
She slept with the hyenas. She hid at night.
315
832000
2000
Spavala je s hijenama. Skrivala se noću.
14:09
She imagined her father killing her on one hand,
316
834000
3000
S jedne strane je zamišljala kako je otac ubija,
14:12
and Mama Agnes greeting her,
317
837000
2000
a s druge strane kako je Mama Agnes pozdravlja,
14:14
with the hope that she would greet her when she got to the house.
318
839000
2000
s nadom da će je pozdraviti kada dođe do kuće.
14:16
And when she got to the house she was greeted.
319
841000
2000
I kada je došla do kuće, bila je pozdravljena.
14:18
Agnes took her in, and Agnes loved her,
320
843000
3000
I Agnes ju je primila. I Agnes ju je voljela.
14:21
and Agnes supported her for the year.
321
846000
2000
I Agnes ju je podržavala godinu dana.
14:23
She went to school and she found her voice,
322
848000
2000
I vratila se natrag u školu i povratila glas
14:25
and she found her identity, and she found her heart.
323
850000
2000
i pronašla identitet i pronašla svoje srce.
14:27
Then, her time was ready
324
852000
3000
I onda, nakon godinu dana, došlo je vrijeme
14:30
when she had to go back to talk to her father
325
855000
3000
da se vrati i razgovara s ocem
14:33
about the reconciliation, after a year.
326
858000
2000
o pomirenju.
14:35
I had the privilege of being in the hut
327
860000
3000
I imala sam privilegiju da budem u kolibi
14:38
when she was reunited with her father and reconciled.
328
863000
3000
kada se ponovno sastala i pomirila s ocem.
14:41
In that hut, we walked in,
329
866000
3000
A u toj kolibi, ušli smo,
14:44
and her father and his four wives were sitting there,
330
869000
3000
a njen otac i njegove četiri žene sjedili su tamo,
14:47
and her sisters who had just returned because
331
872000
2000
a sestre koje su se upravo vratile zato što su
14:49
they had all fled when she had fled,
332
874000
2000
i one pobjegle nakon što je ona pobjegla,
14:51
and her primary mother, who had been beaten
333
876000
3000
i njihova prva majka koja je bila pretučena
14:54
in standing up for her with the elders.
334
879000
3000
zato što se založila za nju među starijima.
14:57
When her father saw her and saw who she had become,
335
882000
3000
I kada ju je otac vidio i kada je vidio što je postala,
15:00
in her full girl self,
336
885000
2000
potpuna djevojka,
15:02
he threw his arms around her and broke down crying.
337
887000
3000
zagrlio ju je i slomio se plačući.
15:05
He said, "You are beautiful. You have grown into a gorgeous woman.
338
890000
4000
I rekao je, „Prelijepa si. Izrasla si u predivnu ženu.
15:09
We will not cut you.
339
894000
2000
Nećemo te osakatiti.
15:11
And I give you my word, here and now,
340
896000
2000
I dajem ti svoju riječ, sada i ovdje
15:13
that we will not cut your sisters either."
341
898000
3000
da nećemo osakatiti ni tvoje sestre.“
15:16
And what she said to him was,
342
901000
2000
A ono što je ona njemu rekla bilo je,
15:18
"You were willing to sell me for four cows,
343
903000
2000
„Bio si me spreman prodati za četiri krave,
15:20
and a calf and some blankets.
344
905000
4000
tele i nešto plahti.
15:24
But I promise you, now that I will be educated
345
909000
2000
Ali obećajem ti da ću sada biti educirana
15:26
I will always take care of you,
346
911000
3000
i uvijek ću paziti na tebe
15:29
and I will come back and I will build you a house.
347
914000
3000
i doći ću natrag i sagraditi ti kuću.
15:32
And I will be in your corner for the rest of your life."
348
917000
3000
I bit ću uz tebe do kraja tvog života.“
15:35
For me, that is the power of girls.
349
920000
2000
Za mene, to je moć djevojaka.
15:37
And that is the power of transformation.
350
922000
3000
I to je moć transformacije.
15:40
I want to close today
351
925000
3000
Želim danas završiti
15:43
with a new piece from my book.
352
928000
2000
s novim dijelom iz moje knjige.
15:45
And I want to do it tonight
353
930000
2000
I želim to večeras učiniti
15:47
for the girl in everybody here.
354
932000
2000
za svaku djevojku u svakome danas.
15:49
And I want to do it for Sunitha.
355
934000
3000
I želim to učiniti za Sunithu.
15:52
And I want to do it for the girls that Sunitha talked about yesterday,
356
937000
3000
I želim to učiniti za djevojke o kojima je Sunitha jučer govorila,
15:55
the girls who survive, the girls who can become somebody else.
357
940000
4000
djevojkama koje su preživjele, djevojkama koje mogu postati netko drugi.
15:59
But I really want to do it for each and every person here,
358
944000
4000
Ali zaista to želim učiniti za svaku osobu ovdje,
16:03
to value the girl in us,
359
948000
2000
da cijeni djevojku u nama,
16:05
to value the part that cries,
360
950000
2000
da cijeni dio koji plače,
16:07
to value the part that's emotional,
361
952000
2000
da cijeni dio koji je osjećajan,
16:09
to value the part that's vulnerable,
362
954000
2000
da cijeni dio koji je ranjiv,
16:11
to understand that's where the future lies.
363
956000
4000
da razumije da je to ono gdje leži budućnost.
16:15
This is called "I'm An Emotional Creature."
364
960000
2000
Ovo se zove „Ja sam emocionalno biće.“
16:17
And it happened because I met a girl in Watts, L.A.
365
962000
3000
I dogodilo se zato što sam upoznala djevojku u Watts-u u L.A.-u.
16:20
I was asking girls if they like being a girl,
366
965000
2000
Pitala sam djevojke vole li biti djevojke,
16:22
and all the girls were like, "No, I hate it. I can't stand it.
367
967000
2000
a sve djevojke rekle su, „Ne, mrzim to. Ne mogu to podnijeti.
16:24
It's all bad. My brothers get everything."
368
969000
3000
Užasno je loše. Moj brat sve dobiva.“
16:27
And this girl just sat up and went, "I love being a girl.
369
972000
2000
A jedna je djevojka ustala i rekla, „Ja volim biti djevojka.
16:29
I'm an emotional creature!"
370
974000
3000
Ja sam emocionalno biće!“
16:32
(Laughter)
371
977000
1000
(Smijeh)
16:33
This is for her:
372
978000
3000
Ovo je za nju:
16:36
I love being a girl.
373
981000
3000
Volim biti djevojka.
16:39
I can feel what you're feeling
374
984000
2000
Mogu osjetiti što ti osjećaš
16:41
as you're feeling inside the feeling before.
375
986000
3000
kao što ti osjećaš onaj osjećaj unutra prije.
16:44
I am an emotional creature.
376
989000
4000
Ja sam emocionalno stvorenje.
16:48
Things do not come to me as intellectual theories
377
993000
2000
Stvari mi ne dolaze kao intelektualne teorije
16:50
or hard-pressed ideas.
378
995000
2000
ili teške ideje.
16:52
They pulse through my organs and legs and burn up my ears.
379
997000
3000
Pulsiraju kroz moje organe i noge i izgaraju mi u očima.
16:55
Oh, I know when your girlfriend's really pissed off,
380
1000000
3000
Oh, ja znam kad ti je djevojka zaista ljuta
16:58
even though she appears to give you what you want.
381
1003000
2000
iako se pravi da ti daje što ti želiš.
17:00
I know when a storm is coming.
382
1005000
2000
Znam kada dolazi oluja.
17:02
I can feel the invisible stirrings in the air.
383
1007000
3000
Mogu osjetiti nevidljive titraje u zraku.
17:05
I can tell you he won't call back. It's a vibe I share.
384
1010000
3000
Mogu ti reći da te neće nazvati. To je vibracija koju dijelim.
17:08
I am an emotional creature.
385
1013000
2000
Emocionalno sam biće.
17:10
I love that I do not take things lightly.
386
1015000
3000
Volim to što ne shvaćam stvari olako.
17:13
Everything is intense to me,
387
1018000
2000
Sve mi je intenzivno,
17:15
the way I walk in the street, the way my momma wakes me up,
388
1020000
3000
način na koji hodam ulicom, način na koji me mama budi ujutro,
17:18
the way it's unbearable when I lose, the way I hear bad news.
389
1023000
4000
način koji je nepodnošljiv kada gubim, način na koji primam loše vijesti.
17:22
I am an emotional creature.
390
1027000
3000
Emocionalno sam biće.
17:25
I am connected to everything and everyone. I was born like that.
391
1030000
3000
Povezana sam sa svime i svakime. Rođena sam takva.
17:28
Don't you say all negative
392
1033000
2000
Nemoj govoriti negativno,
17:30
that it's only only a teenage thing,
393
1035000
2000
da je to samo, samo pubertetska stvar
17:32
or it's only because I'm a girl.
394
1037000
2000
ili da je to samo zato što sam djevojka.
17:34
These feelings make me better.
395
1039000
2000
S tim osjećajima se osjećam bolje.
17:36
They make me present. They make me ready. They make me strong.
396
1041000
2000
Osjećam se stvarno. Osjećam se spremno. Osjećam se jako.
17:38
I am an emotional creature.
397
1043000
3000
Emocionalno sam biće.
17:41
There is a particular way of knowing.
398
1046000
2000
Postoji specifičan način spoznaje,
17:43
It's like the older women somehow forgot.
399
1048000
2000
kao da su to starije žene nekako zaboravile.
17:45
I rejoice that it's still in my body.
400
1050000
3000
Veselim se što je to još uvijek u mom tijelu.
17:48
Oh, I know when the coconut's about to fall.
401
1053000
4000
Oh, znam kada će kokos pasti.
17:52
I know we have pushed the Earth too far.
402
1057000
4000
Znam da smo pogurali Zemlju predaleko.
17:56
I know my father isn't coming back,
403
1061000
2000
Znam da se moj otac neće vratiti
17:58
and that no one's prepared for the fire.
404
1063000
3000
i da nitko nije spreman za vatru.
18:01
I know that lipstick means more than show,
405
1066000
3000
Znam da ruž znači više od show-a,
18:04
and boys are super insecure,
406
1069000
2000
a dječaci su super nesigurni
18:06
and so-called terrorists are made, not born.
407
1071000
3000
i takozvani teroristi to postaju, nisu takvi rođeni.
18:09
I know that one kiss
408
1074000
2000
Znam da jedan poljubac
18:11
could take away all my decision-making ability.
409
1076000
3000
može oduzeti svu moju moć rasuđivanja.
18:14
(Laughter)
410
1079000
2000
(Smijeh)
18:16
And you know what? Sometimes it should.
411
1081000
3000
I znate što? Ponekad i treba.
18:19
This is not extreme. It's a girl thing,
412
1084000
2000
To nije ekstremno. To je ženska stvar,
18:21
what we would all be if the big door inside us flew open.
413
1086000
4000
što bi sve bile kad bi se velika vrata unutar nas širom otvorila.
18:25
Don't tell me not to cry, to calm it down,
414
1090000
2000
Ne govori mi da ne plačem, da se smirim,
18:27
not to be so extreme, to be reasonable.
415
1092000
2000
da ne idem u krajnosti, da budem razumna.
18:29
I am an emotional creature.
416
1094000
3000
Ja sam emocionalno biće.
18:32
It's how the earth got made, how the wind continues to pollinate.
417
1097000
3000
To je onako kako je zemlja napravila, kako vjetar nastavlja oprašivati.
18:35
You don't tell the Atlantic Ocean to behave.
418
1100000
5000
Ne govoriš Atlantskom oceanu kako da se ponaša.
18:40
I am an emotional creature.
419
1105000
2000
Ja sam emocionalno biće.
18:42
Why would you want to shut me down or turn me off?
420
1107000
2000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Eve Ensler - Playwright, activistEve Ensler created the ground-breaking "Vagina Monologues," whose success propelled her to found V-Day -- a movement to end violence against women and girls everywhere.
Why you should listen
Inspired by intimate conversations with friends, Eve Ensler wrote The Vagina Monologues. The play recounts tender, funny, gripping and horrifying stories she gathered from hundreds of women about their bodies, their sexual experiences, and yes, their vaginas. Since its first staging in 1996, it has been translated into more than 45 languages, performed in more than 120 countries and re-created as an HBO film.
The Vagina Monologues' success allowed Ensler to create V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls, which has so far raised $85 million to prevent violence and protect abused women. In February 2011, Ensler received the Isabelle Stephenson Tony Award for her philanthropic work. Ensler has also drawn praise for The Good Body, a play that cuts to women's obsession with their appearance, and her film What I Want My Words to Do to You, which portrays a writing group she leads at a correctional facility for women. Today, she continues to find new projects and push the envelope. Her latest play, I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World, hit the New York Times bestseller list and just wrapped a workshop production in Johannesburg -- nest stop is Paris and then Berkeley in June 2012.
