I'm going to share with you the story

3000
Podijeliti ću s vama priču
00:18
as to how I have become
1
3000
2000
kako sam postala
00:20
an HIV/AIDS campaigner.
2
5000
3000
HIV/SIDA aktivistica.
00:23
And this is the name of my campaign: SING Campaign.
3
8000
3000
A to je ime moje kampanje, SING kampanja.
00:27
In November of 2003,
4
12000
2000
U studenom 2003.
00:29
I was invited to take part
5
14000
2000
pozvana sam da budem dio
00:31
in the launch of Nelson Mandela's
6
16000
2000
pokretanja Nelson Mandeline
00:33
46664 Foundation --
7
18000
3000
46664 fondacije.
00:36
that is his HIV/AIDS foundation.
8
21000
2000
To je njegova HIV/SIDA fondacija.
00:38
And 46664 is the number
9
23000
2000
a 46664 je broj
00:40
that Mandela had when he was imprisoned in Robben Island.
10
25000
3000
koji je Mandela imao kada su ga zatvorili na otok Robben.
00:44
And that's me with Youssou N'Dour,
11
29000
2000
A ovo sam ja sa Youssou N'Dour,
00:46
onstage, having the time of my life.
12
31000
3000
na pozornici, zabavljam se kao nikada.
00:51
The next day, all the artists were invited
13
36000
2000
Slijedeći dan, svi su umjetnici bili pozvani
00:53
to join Mandela in Robben Island,
14
38000
3000
da se pridruže Mandeli na otoku Robben,
00:56
where he was going to give a conference
15
41000
2000
gdje je on trebao održati konferenciju
00:58
to the world's press,
16
43000
3000
za svjetske novinare,
01:01
standing in front of his former prison cell.
17
46000
2000
stojeći ispred svoje bivše zatvorske ćelije.
01:03
You can see the bars of the window there.
18
48000
3000
Možete vidjeti rešetke prozora tamo.
01:06
It was quite a momentous occasion for all of us.
19
51000
3000
To je bio jako dirljiv trenutak za sve nas.
01:09
In that moment in time,
20
54000
2000
U tom trenutku,
01:11
Mandela told the world's press
21
56000
3000
Mandela je rekao svjetskim novinarima
01:14
that there was a virtual genocide
22
59000
2000
kako postoji virtualni genocid
01:16
taking place in his country;
23
61000
2000
koji se događa u njegovoj zemlji,
01:18
that post-apartheid
24
63000
2000
da u post-apartheid
01:20
Rainbow Nation,
25
65000
2000
naciji duge,
01:22
a thousand people were dying on a daily basis
26
67000
3000
tisuće umiru svaki dan,
01:25
and that the front line victims,
27
70000
2000
a da su prve žrtve,
01:27
the most vulnerable of all,
28
72000
2000
najranjivije od svih,
01:29
were women and children.
29
74000
3000
bile žene i djeca.
01:32
This was a huge impact on my mind,
30
77000
3000
To je imalo snažan utjecaj na moj um,
01:35
because I am a woman and I am a mother,
31
80000
3000
jer ja sam žena, i ja sam majka,
01:38
and I hadn't realized
32
83000
2000
i nisam shvatila
01:40
that the HIV/AIDS pandemic
33
85000
2000
kako HIV/SIDA pandemija
01:42
was directly affecting women in such a way.
34
87000
3000
utječe na tako direktan način na žene.
01:45
And so I committed -- when I left South Africa,
35
90000
2000
I tako sam se posvetila -- nakon što sam otišla iz Južne Afrike,
01:47
when I left Capetown,
36
92000
2000
kada sam napustila Capetown,
01:49
I told myself, "This is going to be something
37
94000
2000
rekla sam si, "To će biti nešto
01:51
that I have to talk about.
38
96000
2000
o čemu ću ja pričati.
01:53
I have to serve."
39
98000
2000
Tome se moram posvetiti."
01:55
And so, subsequently
40
100000
2000
I tako, slijedom toga,
01:57
I participated in every single
41
102000
2000
učestvovala sam na svakom
01:59
46664 event
42
104000
2000
46664 događanju
02:01
that I could take part in
43
106000
2000
na kojem sam mogla
02:03
and gave news conferences,
44
108000
2000
i dala sam novinarske konferencije,
02:05
interviews,
45
110000
2000
intervjue,
02:07
talking and using my platform as a musician,
46
112000
3000
govorila i koristila svoju popularnost muzičarke,
02:10
with my commitment to Mandela --
47
115000
2000
s mojom predanošću Mandeli,
02:12
out of respect for the tremendous,
48
117000
3000
iz poštovanja za ogroman,
02:15
unbelievable work that he had done.
49
120000
2000
nevjerojatan posao koji je obavio.
02:17
Everyone in the world respects Nelson Mandela,
50
122000
3000
Svi na svijetu poštuju Nelsona Mandelu.
02:20
everyone reveres Nelson Mandela.
51
125000
2000
Nelson Mandela je svima uzor.
02:22
But do they all know
52
127000
2000
Ali znaju li svi
02:24
about what has been taking place in South Africa,
53
129000
2000
o tome što se događa u Južnoj Africi,
02:26
his country,
54
131000
2000
njegovoj zemlji,
02:29
the country that had one of the highest incidents
55
134000
2000
zemlji koja je imala najvišu stopu
02:31
of transmission of the virus?
56
136000
2000
prenošenja virusa?
02:33
I think that if I went out into the street now
57
138000
3000
Mislim kada bi sada izašla na ulicu,
02:36
and I told people what was happening there,
58
141000
2000
i rekla ljudima što se tamo događa,
02:38
they would be shocked.
59
143000
3000
bili bi šokirani.
02:41
I was very, very fortunate a couple of years later
60
146000
3000
Ja sam bila jako, jako sretna, nekoliko godina kasnije,
02:44
to have met Zackie Achmat,
61
149000
2000
da sam upoznala Zackie Achmat,
02:46
the founder of Treatment Action Campaign,
62
151000
2000
osnivača Treatment Action kampanje,
02:48
an incredible campaigner and activist.
63
153000
3000
nevjerojatnog aktivistu.
02:51
I met him at a 46664 event.
64
156000
2000
Upoznala sam ga na 46664 događaju.
02:53
He was wearing a t-shirt like the one I wear now.
65
158000
2000
Nosio je majicu poput ove moje.
02:55
This is a tool --
66
160000
2000
To je alat.
02:57
this tells you I am in solidarity
67
162000
2000
To vam govori kako sam solidarna
02:59
with people who have HIV,
68
164000
3000
s ljudima koji imaju HIV,
03:02
people who are living with HIV.
69
167000
2000
ljudima koji žive s HIV-om.
03:04
And in a way because of the stigma, by wearing this t-shirt
70
169000
3000
I na neki način, zbog stigme, noseći ovu majicu,
03:07
I say, "Yes, we can talk about this issue.
71
172000
3000
kažem, "Da, možemo razgovarati o tom problemu.
03:10
It doesn't have to be in the closet."
72
175000
3000
Ne mora biti u ormaru."
03:13
I became a member of Treatment Action Campaign
73
178000
3000
Postala sam članicom Treatment Action kampanje,
03:16
and I'm very proud to be a member
74
181000
2000
i jako sam ponosna što sam članica
03:18
of that incredible organization.
75
183000
2000
te nevjerojatne organizacije.
03:20
It's a grassroots campaign
76
185000
2000
To je bazična kampanja
03:22
with 80 percent membership being women,
77
187000
3000
s 80 posto članica,
03:25
most of whom are HIV-positive.
78
190000
3000
većina od kojih su HIV pozitivne.
03:28
They work in the field.
79
193000
2000
One rade na terenu.
03:30
They have tremendous outreach
80
195000
3000
Imaju nevjerojatan doseg
03:33
to the people who are living directly
81
198000
2000
prema ljudima koji žive direktno
03:35
with the effects of the virus.
82
200000
2000
s efektima virusa.
03:37
They have education programs.
83
202000
3000
Imaju obrazovne programe.
03:40
They bring out the issues of stigma.
84
205000
3000
Iznose pitanje stigmatiziranosti.
03:43
It's quite extraordinary what they do.
85
208000
3000
Prilično je nevjerojatno to što rade.
03:46
And yes, my SING Campaign
86
211000
2000
I da, moja SING kampanja
03:48
has supported Treatment Action Campaign
87
213000
2000
podržava Treatment Action kampanju
03:50
in the way that I have tried to raise awareness
88
215000
3000
na način da pokušavam podići osvještenost
03:53
and to try to also raise funds.
89
218000
2000
i skupljanjem sredstava.
03:55
A lot of the funding that I have managed to raise
90
220000
2000
Većina toga što sam sakupila
03:57
has gone directly to Treatment Action Campaign
91
222000
2000
otišlo je direktno Treatment Action kampanji.
03:59
and the incredible work that they do,
92
224000
2000
i nevjerojatan posao koji oni rade,
04:01
and are still continuing to do in South Africa.
93
226000
3000
i koji računaju napraviti, u Južnoj Africi.
04:04
So this is my SING Campaign.
94
229000
2000
Dakle to je moja SING kampanja.
04:06
SING Campaign is basically just me
95
231000
2000
SING kampanja u osnovi sam ja
04:08
and about three or four wonderful people
96
233000
2000
i troje-četvero prekrasnih ljudi
04:10
who help to support me.
97
235000
2000
koji mi pomažu.
04:12
I've traveled all over the world
98
237000
2000
Proputovala sam cijeli svijet
04:14
in the last two and a half years --
99
239000
2000
u protekle dvije i pol godine.
04:16
I went to about 12 different countries.
100
241000
2000
Bila sam u 12 zemalja.
04:18
Here I am in Oslo in Norway,
101
243000
2000
Ovdje sam u Oslu, Norveška,
04:20
getting a nice, fat check;
102
245000
3000
gdje dobijam lijepi, debeli ček,
04:23
singing in Hong Kong, trying to get people to raise money.
103
248000
3000
pjevam u Hong Kongu, pokušavajući dobiti ljude da doniraju novac.
04:26
In Johannesburg, I had the opportunity to play
104
251000
3000
U Johannesburgu, imala sam priliku svirati
04:29
to a mainly white, middle-class South African audience
105
254000
2000
uglavnom za bijelce, publiku južnoafričke srednje klase
04:31
who ended up in tears
106
256000
2000
koji su završili u suzama,
04:33
because I use film clips
107
258000
2000
jer koristim filmske klipove
04:35
that really touch the heart, the whole nature,
108
260000
2000
koji stvarno dodiruju srce, ukupnu prirodu,
04:37
of this terrible tragedy that is taking place,
109
262000
3000
ove grozne tragedije koja se događa,
04:40
that people are tending to avoid,
110
265000
2000
koju ljudi pokušavaju izbjeći,
04:42
because they are fatigued,
111
267000
2000
jer su zamoreni,
04:44
and they really don't quite know what the solutions are.
112
269000
3000
i u stvari ne znaju točno kakvo je riješenje.
04:47
Aaron Motsoaledi, the current health minister,
113
272000
2000
Aaron Motsoaledi, trenutačni ministar zdravstva,
04:49
attended that concert
114
274000
2000
prisustvovao je koncertu,
04:51
and I had an opportunity to meet with him,
115
276000
2000
i imala sam priliku susresti ga,
04:53
and he gave his absolute commitment
116
278000
2000
a on mi je obećao svoju potpunu predanost
04:55
to try to making a change,
117
280000
2000
da će pokušati napraviti promjenu,
04:57
which is absolutely necessary.
118
282000
2000
koja je apsolutno neophodna.
04:59
This is in the Scottish Parliament.
119
284000
2000
Ovo je u škotskom parlamentu.
05:01
I've subsequently become an envoy
120
286000
2000
Postepeno sam postala poklisar
05:03
for Scotland and HIV.
121
288000
2000
za Škotsku i HIV.
05:05
And I was showing them my experiences
122
290000
2000
I pokazivala sam im svoja iskustva
05:07
and trying to, again, raise awareness.
123
292000
3000
i pokušavala, opet, podići osvještenost.
05:10
And once again, in Edinburgh
124
295000
2000
I opet, u Edinburghu,
05:12
with the wonderful African Children's Choir who I simply adore.
125
297000
3000
s prekrasnim zborom afričke djece koji jednostavno obožavam.
05:15
And it's children like this, many of whom have been orphaned
126
300000
3000
I djeca poput tih, mnoga od kojih su bili siročad
05:18
because of their family being affected
127
303000
3000
jer im je obitelj bila zaražena
05:21
by the AIDS virus.
128
306000
2000
SIDA virusom.
05:23
I'm sitting here in New York with Michel Sidibe --
129
308000
3000
Ovdje sjedim u New Yorku s Michel Sidibe.
05:26
he's the director of UNAIDS.
130
311000
2000
On je direktor UNAIDS-a.
05:28
And I'm very honored
131
313000
2000
I jako sam počašćena
05:30
by the fact that Michel invited me,
132
315000
2000
činjenicom da me Michel pozvao,
05:32
only a few months ago,
133
317000
2000
prije samo nekoliko mjeseci,
05:34
to become a UNAIDS ambassador.
134
319000
2000
kako bih postala UNAIDS-ova ambasadorica.
05:36
And in this way, I've been strengthening my platform
135
321000
3000
I na taj način, osnažujem vlastitu platformu
05:39
and broadening my outreach.
136
324000
2000
i proširujem svoj utjecaj.
05:41
The message that UNAIDS
137
326000
2000
Poruka koju UNAIDS
05:43
are currently sending out to the world
138
328000
2000
trenutačno šalje svijetu
05:45
is that we would like to see the virtual elimination
139
330000
3000
jest da bismo voljeli vidjeti virtualnu eliminaciju
05:48
of the transmission of the virus
140
333000
2000
transmisije virusa
05:50
from mother to child by 2015.
141
335000
3000
od majki prema djeci do 2015.
05:53
It's a very ambitious goal
142
338000
2000
To je jako ambiciozan cilj,
05:55
but we believe it can be achieved with political will.
143
340000
3000
ali vjerujemo kako se može ostvariti uz političku volju.
05:58
This can happen.
144
343000
2000
To se može dogoditi.
06:00
And here I am with a pregnant woman,
145
345000
2000
I ovdje sam s trudnom ženom
06:02
who is HIV positive
146
347000
2000
koja je HIV pozitivna,
06:04
and we're smiling, both of us are smiling, because we're very confident,
147
349000
3000
i mi se smijemo, obje se smijemo, jer smo prilično sigurne,
06:07
because we know that that young woman
148
352000
3000
jer znamo kako mlada žena
06:10
is receiving treatment
149
355000
2000
prima tretman
06:12
so her life can be extended
150
357000
2000
kako bi se njen život produžio
06:14
to take care of the baby she's about to give birth to.
151
359000
3000
da bi se mogla brinuti o bebi koju će uskoro roditi.
06:17
And her baby will receive PMTCT,
152
362000
3000
I njeno dijete će dobiti PMTCT,
06:20
which will mean that that baby
153
365000
2000
što će značiti da će to dijete
06:22
can be born free of the virus.
154
367000
2000
moći biti rođeno bez virusa.
06:24
Now that is prevention
155
369000
2000
To je prevencija
06:26
at the very beginning of life.
156
371000
2000
na samom početku života.
06:28
It's one way to start looking at intervention
157
373000
3000
To je jedan način na koji možemo početi gledati na intervenciju
06:31
with the AIDS pandemic.
158
376000
2000
prema toj SIDA pandemiji.
06:33
Now, I just would like to finish off
159
378000
2000
Sada, željela bih završiti
06:35
to tell you the little story
160
380000
2000
tako što ću vam ispričati malu priču
06:37
about Avelile.
161
382000
2000
o Avelile.
06:39
This is Avelile --
162
384000
2000
Ovo je Avelile.
06:41
she goes with me wherever I go.
163
386000
2000
Ona ide sa mnom gdje god da idem.
06:43
I tell her story to everyone
164
388000
2000
Njenu priču pričam svima,
06:45
because she represents
165
390000
2000
jer ona predstavlja
06:47
one of millions
166
392000
2000
jednu od milijuna
06:49
of HIV/AIDS orphans.
167
394000
2000
HIV/SIDA siročadi.
06:51
Avelile's mother
168
396000
2000
Avelilina majka
06:53
had HIV virus --
169
398000
2000
je imala HIV virus.
06:55
she died
170
400000
2000
Umrla je
06:57
from AIDS-related illness.
171
402000
2000
od bolesti povezane sa SIDOM.
06:59
Avelile had the virus,
172
404000
2000
Avelile je imala virus.
07:01
she was born with the virus.
173
406000
2000
Rođena je s virusom.
07:03
And here she is at seven years old,
174
408000
3000
I ovdje je sa sedam godina,
07:06
weighing no more than a one year-old baby.
175
411000
2000
gdje teži manje od jednogodišnje bebe.
07:08
At this point in her life,
176
413000
2000
U ovom trenutku njezina života,
07:10
she's suffering with full-blown AIDS
177
415000
2000
pati od SIDE
07:12
and had pneumonia.
178
417000
2000
i ima upalu pluća.
07:14
We met her in a hospital in the Eastern Cape
179
419000
3000
Sreli smo je u bolnici u istočnom Capeu
07:17
and spent a whole afternoon with her -- an adorable child.
180
422000
3000
i proveli cijelo popodne s njom -- divno dijete.
07:20
The doctors and nurses were phenomenal.
181
425000
2000
Doktori i sestre su bili sjajni.
07:22
They put her on very special nutritious diet
182
427000
3000
Stavili su je na jako posebnu nutricionističku dijetu
07:25
and took great care of her.
183
430000
3000
i sjajno se brinuli o njoj.
07:28
And we didn't know when we left the hospital --
184
433000
2000
I nismo znali kada smo napustili bolnicu --
07:30
because we filmed her story -- we didn't know if she was going to survive.
185
435000
3000
jer smo snimali njezinu priču -- nismo znali hoće li preživjeti.
07:33
So, it was obviously -- it was a very emotional encounter
186
438000
3000
Dakle, bio je to očigledno... to je bio vrlo emocionalan susret
07:36
and left us feeling very resonant
187
441000
2000
koji nas je ostavio u rezonantnom stanju
07:38
with this direct experience, this one child,
188
443000
3000
s ovim direktnim iskustvom, to jedno dijete,
07:41
you know, that story.
189
446000
2000
znate, ta priča.
07:43
Five months later,
190
448000
3000
Pet mjeseci kasnije,
07:46
we went back to South Africa
191
451000
2000
vratili smo se nazad u Južnu Afriku
07:48
to meet Avelile again.
192
453000
3000
kako bismo se našli s Avelile ponovno.
07:51
And I'm getting --
193
456000
2000
I meni se --
07:53
the hairs on my -- I don't know if you can see the hairs on my arms.
194
458000
2000
dlake na mojoj -- ne znam možete li vidjeti dlake na mojoj ruci.
07:55
They're standing up because I know what I'm going to show you.
195
460000
3000
Naježila sam se jer znam što ćete sada vidjeti.
07:58
This is the transformation that took place.
196
463000
3000
To je transformacija koja se dogodila.
08:03
Isn't it extraordinary?
197
468000
2000
Nije li to izvanredno?
08:05
(Applause)
198
470000
10000
(Pljesak)
08:15
That round of applause is actually
199
480000
2000
Ovaj pljesak je zapravo
08:17
for the doctors and nurses of the hospital who took care of Avelile.
200
482000
3000
za doktore i medicinske sestre u bolnici koji su se brinuli za Avelile.
08:20
And I take it that you appreciate that kind of transformation.
201
485000
3000
I ja ću to uzeti kao vaše odavanje počasti promjeni koja se dogodila.
08:24
So, I would like to say to you,
202
489000
2000
Dakle, željela bih vam reći,
08:26
each one in the audience,
203
491000
2000
svakome od vas u publici,
08:28
if you feel that every mother
204
493000
3000
ako mislite kako svaka majka
08:31
and every child in the world
205
496000
2000
i svako dijete na svijetu
08:33
has the right to have access
206
498000
2000
imaju pravo na pristup
08:35
to good nutrition and good medical care,
207
500000
3000
dobroj ishrani i dobroj medicinskoj njezi,
08:38
and you believe that the Millennium Development Goals,
208
503000
3000
i ako vjerujete u Milenijske razvojne ciljeve,
08:41
specifically five and six,
209
506000
2000
posebno pet i šest,
08:43
should be absolutely committed to
210
508000
3000
kojima bi trebale biti apsolutno posvećene
08:46
by all governments around the world --
211
511000
2000
sve vlade širom svijeta --
08:48
especially in sub-Saharan Africa --
212
513000
2000
posebno u subsaharskoj Africi --
08:50
could you please stand up.
213
515000
2000
možete li se molim vas ustati.
08:58
I think that's fair to say,
214
523000
2000
Mislim kako je točno kazati,
09:00
it's almost everyone in the hall.
215
525000
3000
kako su to gotovo svi u dvorani.
09:03
Thank you very much.
216
528000
2000
Hvala vam jako puno.
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.
