Allow me to start this talk with a question to everyone.

Saya akan memulai ceramah ini dengan pertanyaan.
00:17
You know that all over the world,
1
5795
2262
Di seluruh dunia,
00:20
people fight for their freedom,
2
8057
2795
manusia berjuang demi kebebasan,
00:22
fight for their rights.
3
10852
2206
berjuang untuk mendapatkan haknya.
00:25
Some battle oppressive governments.
4
13058
3161
Beberapa melawan pemerintahan yang menindas.
00:28
Others battle oppressive societies.
5
16219
4736
Lainnya melawan masyarakat yang menindas.
00:32
Which battle do you think is harder?
6
20955
3856
Menurutmu, mana yang lebih sulit dihadapi?
00:36
Allow me to try to answer this question
7
24811
2472
Saya akan menjawab pertanyaan ini
00:39
in the few coming minutes.
8
27283
3080
dalam beberapa menit ke depan.
00:42
Let me take you back two years ago in my life.
9
30363
5816
Perkenankan saya membawa Anda ke kehidupan Saya 2 tahun yang lalu
00:48
It was the bedtime of my son, Aboody.
10
36179
2956
Waktu itu jam tidur putra saya, Aboody.
00:51
He was five at the time.
11
39135
2684
Usianya saat itu lima tahun.
00:53
After finishing his bedtime rituals,
12
41819
2440
Setelah bersiap hendak tidur,
00:56
he looked at me and he asked a question:
13
44259
4082
Ia melihat saya dan bertanya:
01:00
"Mommy, are we bad people?"
14
48341
3231
"Ibu, apa kita ini orang jahat?"
01:03
I was shocked.
15
51572
2460
Saya terkejut.
01:06
"Why do you say such things, Aboody?"
16
54032
3157
"Kenapa kamu bertanya begitu, Aboody?"
01:09
Earlier that day, I noticed some bruises
17
57189
2335
Hari itu saya melihat beberapa luka
01:11
on his face when he came from school.
18
59524
2583
di wajahnya ketika ia pulang sekolah.
01:14
He wouldn't tell me what happened.
19
62107
1966
Ia tidak memberitahu saya apa yang terjadi.
01:16
[But now] he was ready to tell.
20
64073
4063
Tapi sekarang ia siap bercerita.
01:20
"Two boys hit me today in school.
21
68136
2811
"Dua anak memukulku di sekolah.
01:22
They told me, 'We saw your mom on Facebook.
22
70947
3369
Kata mereka, "Kami melihat ibumu di Facebook.
01:26
You and your mom should be put in jail.'"
23
74316
4786
Kamu dan ibumu mestinya masuk penjara.""
01:31
I've never been afraid to tell Aboody anything.
24
79102
3141
Saya belum pernah merasa takut untuk bercerita pada Aboody.
01:34
I've been always a proud woman of my achievements.
25
82243
4704
Saya selalu menjadi seorang wanita yang bangga atas pencapaian saya
01:38
But those questioning eyes of my son
26
86947
2215
Tapi pandangan bertanya anak saya
01:41
were my moment of truth,
27
89162
2825
adalah saatnya
01:43
when it all came together.
28
91987
3753
dimana semuanya menyatu.
01:47
You see, I'm a Saudi woman who had been put in jail
29
95740
4418
Seperti yang Anda lihat, saya adalah seorang perempuan Saudi yang dipenjara
01:52
for driving a car in a country
30
100158
2135
karena mengemudikan mobil di negara di mana
01:54
where women are not supposed to drive cars.
31
102293
4955
wanita tak diizinkan mengemudi.
01:59
Just for giving me his car keys,
32
107248
2391
Hanya dengan memberikan kunci mobilnya,
02:01
my own brother was detained twice,
33
109639
3856
saudara saya dipenjara dua kali,
02:05
and he was harassed to the point he had
34
113495
1613
dan dilecehkan sampai harus
02:07
to quit his job as a geologist,
35
115108
1988
meninggalkan pekerjaannya sebagai ahli geologi,
02:09
leave the country with his wife and two-year-old son.
36
117096
3334
meninggalkan negeri itu bersama istri dan putranya yang berumur 2 tahun.
02:12
My father had to sit in a Friday sermon
37
120430
2098
Ayah saya terpaksa mendengarkan khotbah Jumat
02:14
listening to the imam condemning women drivers
38
122528
3672
dimana imamnya mengutuk wanita pengemudi
02:18
and calling them prostitutes
39
126200
1968
dan menyebut mereka pelacur
02:20
amongst tons of worshippers,
40
128168
2336
di depan ratusan jemaah,
02:22
some of them our friends and family of my own father.
41
130504
4312
beberapa dari mereka juga sanak keluarga dan sahabat ayah saya.
02:26
I was faced with an organized defamation campaign
42
134816
3584
Saya menghadapi kampanye fitnah terorganisir
02:30
in the local media combined with false rumors
43
138400
2982
di media lokal yang digabung dengan berita palsu
02:33
shared in family gatherings, in the streets
44
141382
2858
yang tersebar di pertemuan keluarga, di jalan
02:36
and in schools.
45
144240
2744
dan di sekolah.
02:38
It all hit me.
46
146984
2344
Ini semua menyentak saya.
02:41
It came into focus that those kids
47
149328
2194
Saya menyadari bahwa anak-anak itu
02:43
did not mean to be rude to my son.
48
151522
2294
tak bermaksud jahat pada anak saya.
02:45
They were just influenced by the adults around them.
49
153816
4070
Mereka hanya terpengaruh orang-orang dewasa di sekitar mereka.
02:49
And it wasn't about me, and it wasn't a punishment
50
157886
3469
Ini bukan mengenai saya, dan bukan sebuah hukuman
02:53
for taking the wheel and driving a few miles.
51
161355
3814
karena telah mengambil alih setir dan mengemudi beberapa mil.
02:57
It was a punishment for daring to challenge
52
165169
2849
Ini hukuman karena telah berani menentang
03:00
the society's rules.
53
168018
3697
peraturan masyarakat.
03:03
But my story goes beyond this moment of truth of mine.
54
171715
4537
Tetapi cerita saya terjadi peristiwa ini.
03:08
Allow me to give you a briefing
55
176252
3796
Perkenankan saya memberikan ringkasan
03:12
about my story.
56
180048
2192
cerita saya.
03:14
It was May, 2011,
57
182240
2036
Bulan Mei, 2011,
03:16
and I was complaining to a work colleague
58
184276
1959
ketika mengeluh pada kolega saya
03:18
about the harassments I had to face
59
186235
1834
tentang penghinaan yang harus saya hadapi
03:20
trying to find a ride back home,
60
188069
1788
sekedar untuk mendapat tumpangan pulang,
03:21
although I have a car and an international driver's license.
61
189857
3484
meskipun saya memiliki mobil dan SIM internasional.
03:25
As long as I've known, women in Saudi Arabia
62
193341
2125
Setahu saya, wanita di Arab Saudi
03:27
have been always complaining about the ban,
63
195466
2486
selalu mengeluhkan larangan tersebut,
03:29
but it's been 20 years since anyone
64
197952
2416
tapi ini sudah 20 tahun sejak ada orang
03:32
tried to do anything about it,
65
200368
2032
yang berusaha merubahnya,
03:34
a whole generation ago.
66
202400
2200
generasi yang lalu.
03:36
He broke the good/bad news in my face.
67
204600
2136
Kolega saya menjelaskan.
03:38
"But there is no law banning you from driving."
68
206736
3157
"Sebenarnya, tak ada undang-undang yang melarang wanita untuk mengemudi."
03:41
I looked it up, and he was right.
69
209893
2204
Saya mencarinya, dan ternyata ia benar.
03:44
There wasn't an actual law in Saudi Arabia.
70
212097
2679
Sebenarnya tak ada undang-undangnya di Saudi.
03:46
It was just a custom and traditions
71
214776
2140
Ini hanya masalah adat dan tradisi
03:48
that are enshrined in rigid religious fatwas
72
216916
4016
yang diabadikan fatwa keras
03:52
and imposed on women.
73
220932
2004
terhadap wanita.
03:54
That realization ignited the idea of June 17,
74
222936
3088
Kesadaran itu memicu ide kampanye "17 Juni",
03:58
where we encouraged women to take the wheel
75
226024
2441
dimana kami membujuk wanita untuk mengambil alih setir
04:00
and go drive.
76
228465
2728
dan mengemudi.
04:03
It was a few weeks later, we started receiving all these
77
231193
3855
Beberapa minggu kemudian, kami mulai menerima pesan semacam
04:07
"Man wolves will rape you if you go and drive."
78
235048
3206
"Manusia serigala akan memerkosa pengemudi wanita."
04:10
A courageous woman, her name is Najla Hariri,
79
238254
2666
Seorang wanita berani, Najla Hariri,
04:12
she's a Saudi woman in the city of Jeddah,
80
240920
2600
wanita Saudi dari Jeddah,
04:15
she drove a car and she announced
81
243520
1614
ia mengemudi dan mengumumkannya
04:17
but she didn't record a video.
82
245134
1729
tapi tak merekam video.
04:18
We needed proof.
83
246863
1860
Kami membutuhkan bukti.
04:20
So I drove. I posted a video on YouTube.
84
248723
2861
Maka saya mengemudi. Dan mengunggahnya di YouTube.
04:23
And to my surprise,
85
251584
1911
Yang mengejutkan,
04:25
it got hundreds of thousands of views the first day.
86
253495
2889
video itu dilihat ratusan ribu orang dalam beberapa hari pertama.
04:28
What happened next, of course?
87
256384
1706
Dapat ditebak apa yang terjadi berikutnya.
04:30
I started receiving threats
88
258090
1894
Saya mulai menerima ancaman
04:31
to be killed, raped, just to stop this campaign.
89
259984
4562
akan dibunuh, diperkosa, untuk menghentikan kampanye ini.
04:36
The Saudi authorities remained very quiet.
90
264546
3612
Pemerintah Saudi tetap diam.
04:40
That really creeped us out.
91
268158
2180
Dan itu yang menakutkan.
04:42
I was in the campaign with other Saudi women
92
270338
2127
Saya berkampanye bersama beberapa wanita Saudi
04:44
and even men activists.
93
272465
1953
dan aktivis pria.
04:46
We wanted to know how the authorities
94
274418
2464
Kami ingin mengetahui bagaimana otoritas
04:48
would respond on the actual day, June 17,
95
276882
3608
bereaksi pada Hari-H, 17 Juni,
04:52
when women go out and drive.
96
280490
1729
saat wanita mengemudi.
04:54
So this time I asked my brother
97
282219
2058
Kali ini saya meminta saudara saya
04:56
to come with me and drive by a police car.
98
284277
2091
untuk menemani dan mengemudi melewati mobil polisi.
04:58
It went fast. We were arrested,
99
286368
2754
Kejadian belalu cepat. Kami ditahan,
05:01
signed a pledge not to drive again, released.
100
289122
3684
menandatangani ikrar tak akan mengemudi lagi, dibebaskan.
05:04
Arrested again, he was sent to detention for one day,
101
292806
3212
Ditahan lagi, dan saudara saya dipenjara selama sehari.
05:08
and I was sent to jail.
102
296018
2263
Saya juga dipenjara.
05:10
I wasn't sure why I was sent there,
103
298281
1625
Saya tidak mengetahui alasannya,
05:11
because I didn't face any charges in the interrogation.
104
299906
3177
karena tidak menghadapi tuduhan apapun saat interogasi.
05:15
But what I was sure of was my innocence.
105
303083
2287
Tapi saya yakin bahwa secara hukum saya tak bersalah.
05:17
I didn't break a law, and I kept my abaya
106
305370
2465
Saya tak melanggar hukum, dan tetap mengenakan abaya
05:19
— it's a black cloak we wear in Saudi Arabia before we leave the house —
107
307835
3876
- Abaya, jubah hitam yang dipakai wanita Saudi sebelum meninggalkan rumah -
05:23
and my fellow prisoners kept asking me to take it off,
108
311711
2982
sementara kawan satu sel saya membujuk saya untuk menanggalkannya,
05:26
but I was so sure of my innocence, I kept saying,
109
314693
2673
tapi saya begitu yakin saya tidak bersalah, dan terus mengucapkan,
05:29
"No, I'm leaving today."
110
317366
2225
"Tidak, saya akan pulang hari ini."
05:31
Outside the jail, the whole country went into a frenzy,
111
319591
3456
Di luar penjara, negara bergejolak,
05:35
some attacking me badly,
112
323047
2304
beberapa menyerang saya ,
05:37
and others supportive and even collecting signatures
113
325351
3725
lainnya mendukung dan mengumpulkan tanda tangan
05:41
in a petition to be sent to the king to release me.
114
329076
4243
dalam petisi yang dikirimkan ke raja untuk membebaskanku.
05:45
I was released after nine days.
115
333319
1784
Saya bebas setelah sembilan hari.
05:47
June 17 comes.
116
335103
2686
Datanglah tanggal 17 Juni.
05:49
The streets were packed with police cars
117
337789
2690
Jalanan dipadati mobil polisi,
05:52
and religious police cars,
118
340479
2161
dan mobil polisi syariat,
05:54
but some hundred brave Saudi women
119
342640
2303
tapi ratusan wanita Saudi berani
05:56
broke the ban and drove that day.
120
344943
2032
melanggar larangan dan mengemudi hari itu.
05:58
None were arrested. We broke the taboo.
121
346975
3088
Tak ada yang ditahan. Kami mematahkan tabu.
06:02
(Applause)
122
350063
5343
(Tepuk tangan.)
06:12
So I think by now, everyone knows that we can't drive,
123
360407
3392
Mungkin semua orang tahu bahwa kami tak boleh mengemudi,
06:15
or women are not allowed to drive, in Saudi Arabia,
124
363799
2185
tepatnya, wanita tak diizinkan mengemudi di Saudi,
06:17
but maybe few know why.
125
365984
2298
tapi hanya sedikit yang tahu mengapa.
06:20
Allow me to help you answer this question.
126
368282
2584
Menurut saya, ini jawabannya.
06:22
There was this official study
127
370866
3136
Ada sebuah studi resmi
06:26
that was presented to the Shura Council --
128
374002
2044
yang diserahkan ke Dewan Shura --
06:28
it's the consultative council appointed
129
376046
2264
dewan penasihat yang dipilih
06:30
by the king in Saudi Arabia —
130
378310
1983
oleh raja Saudi --
06:32
and it was done by a local professor,
131
380293
2041
riset ini dilakukan oleh seorang profesor lokal,
06:34
a university professor.
132
382334
1318
profesor universitas.
06:35
He claims it's done based on a UNESCO study.
133
383652
4363
Ia mengklaim bahwa riset ini didasari riset UNESCO.
06:40
And the study states,
134
388015
2992
Riset tersebut mengatakan,
06:43
the percentage of rape, adultery,
135
391007
3792
persentase pemerkosaan, perbuatan serong,
06:46
illegitimate children, even drug abuse,
136
394799
3440
lahirnya anak di luar nikah, bahkan penyalahgunaan narkoba,
06:50
prostitution in countries where women drive
137
398239
3088
pelacuran di negara dimana wanita mengemudi
06:53
is higher than countries where women don't drive.
138
401327
3522
lebih tinggi daripada di negara dimana wanita tak mengemudi.
06:56
(Laughter)
139
404849
1337
(Tawa.)
06:58
I know, I was like this, I was shocked.
140
406186
1503
Saya terkejut.
06:59
I was like, "We are the last country in the world
141
407689
3120
"Kita adalah negara terakhir di dunia
07:02
where women don't drive."
142
410809
1953
di mana wanita tak mengemudi."
07:04
So if you look at the map of the world,
143
412762
2166
Jika Anda melihat peta dunia,
07:06
that only leaves two countries:
144
414928
1693
artinya hanya tinggal dua negara:
07:08
Saudi Arabia, and the other society is the rest of the world.
145
416621
4386
Arab Saudi dan masyarakat seluruh dunia.
07:13
We started a hashtag on Twitter mocking the study,
146
421007
3088
Di Twitter, kami memulai rangkaian hestek yang mengejek riset tersebut,
07:16
and it made headlines around the world.
147
424095
2468
dan menjadi judul berita di seluruh dunia.
07:18
[BBC News: 'End of virginity' if women drive, Saudi cleric warns]
148
426563
1764
[Berita BBC: "Akhir Keperawanan" saat wanita mengemudi, Peringatan Mufti Saudi]
07:20
(Laughter)
149
428327
1265
(Tawa.)
07:21
And only then we realized it's so empowering
150
429592
2671
Saat itu kami menyadari betapa jaya rasanya
07:24
to mock your oppressor.
151
432263
1464
mengejek para penindas.
07:25
It strips it away of its strongest weapon: fear.
152
433727
4499
Ejekan melucuti senjatanya yang terkuat: Ketakutan.
07:30
This system is based on ultra-conservative
153
438226
3604
Sistem negara in didasari tradisi dan adat
07:33
traditions and customs
154
441830
1907
ultra-kolot
07:35
that deal with women as if they are inferior
155
443737
3247
yang menganggap wanita adalah inferior
07:38
and they need a guardian to protect them,
156
446984
2497
dan membutuhkan ksatria pelindung,
07:41
so they need to take permission from this guardian,
157
449481
2204
sehingga mereka membutuhkan izin dari ksatrianya,
07:43
whether verbal or written, all their lives.
158
451685
2166
baik verbal maupun tertulis, seumur hidup mereka.
07:45
We are minors until the day we die.
159
453851
2456
Kami di bawah umur sampai mati.
07:48
And it becomes worse when it's enshrined in religious fatwas
160
456307
3906
Yang membuatnya semakin parah adalah pengukuhan fatwa agama
07:52
based on wrong interpretation of the sharia law,
161
460213
2702
berdasarkan tafsir miring akan hukum syariat
07:54
or the religious laws.
162
462915
2190
atau hukum agama.
07:57
What's worst, when they become codified
163
465105
2125
Yang paling parah, saat hukum ini dibukukan
07:59
as laws in the system,
164
467230
2451
sebagai hukum negara
08:01
and when women themselves believe in their inferiority,
165
469681
3396
dan saat wanita-wanita ini percaya akan inferioritas mereka,
08:05
and they even fight those who try
166
473077
2490
bahkan melawan mereka yang
08:07
to question these rules.
167
475567
3570
mempertanyakan peraturan ini.
08:11
So for me, it wasn't only about these attacks I had to face.
168
479137
4266
Bagi saya, ini bukan saja soal serangan yang harus saya hadapi.
08:15
It was about living two totally different
169
483403
2814
Ini soal hidup dalam dua persepsi
08:18
perceptions of my personality, of my person --
170
486217
2960
yang sama sekali berbeda tentang diri saya --
08:21
the villain back in my home country,
171
489177
2712
sebagai penjahat di negeri sendiri,
08:23
and the hero outside.
172
491889
2023
dan sebagai pahlawan di luar.
08:25
Just to tell you, two stories happened in the last two years.
173
493912
4075
Ada dua cerita yang terjadi dalam dua tahun terakhir.
08:29
One of them is when I was in jail.
174
497987
2378
Yang pertama saat saya dipenjara,
08:32
I'm pretty sure when I was in jail,
175
500365
1658
saya yakin sewaktu di penjara,
08:34
everyone saw titles in the international media
176
502023
4451
semua orang membaca berita internasional
08:38
something like this during these nine days I was in jail.
177
506474
4045
seperti ini selama masa 9 hari saya di penjara.
08:42
But in my home country, it was a totally different picture.
178
510519
3477
Tapi di negeri saya, gambarannya sama sekali berbeda.
08:45
It was more like this:
179
513996
1669
Kesannya lebih mirip begini:
08:47
"Manal al-Sharif faces charges of disturbing public order
180
515665
3032
"Mana al-Sharif mengahdapi tuduhan mengganggu ketenangan publik
08:50
and inciting women to drive."
181
518697
3742
dan menghasut wanita untuk mengemudi."
08:54
I know.
182
522439
3034
Ya, kan?
08:57
"Manal al-Sharif withdraws from the campaign."
183
525473
2049
"Mana al-Sharif mundur kampanye."
08:59
Ah, it's okay. This is my favorite.
184
527522
2567
Tak apa. Ini favorit saya.
09:02
"Manal al-Sharif breaks down and confesses:
185
530089
2397
"Mana al-Sharif menangis dan mengaku:
09:04
'Foreign forces incited me.'"
186
532486
1812
"Kekuatan asing menghasut saya.""
09:06
(Laughter)
187
534298
2359
(Tawa)
09:08
And it goes on, even trial and flogging me in public.
188
536657
5197
Dan seterusnya, bahkan pengadilan dan cambuk di depan umum.
09:13
So it's a totally different picture.
189
541854
3428
Gambaran yang sama sekali berbeda.
09:17
I was asked last year to give a speech
190
545282
1772
Tahun lalu saya diminta untuk memberi ceramah
09:19
at the Oslo Freedom Forum.
191
547054
2612
di Forum Kebebasan Oslo.
09:21
I was surrounded by this love
192
549666
2585
Saya dikelilingi cinta
09:24
and the support of people around me,
193
552251
2135
dan dukungan semua orang di sekitar saya,
09:26
and they looked at me as an inspiration.
194
554386
2185
dan mereka memandang saya sebagai sumber inspirasi.
09:28
At the same time, I flew back to my home country,
195
556571
2862
Pada waktu yang sama, saat pulang ke negeri saya,
09:31
they hated that speech so much.
196
559433
1925
mereka begitu membenci ceramah itu.
09:33
The way they called it: a betrayal to the Saudi country
197
561358
2539
Mereka menyebutnya: Pengkhianat bagi negeri dan
09:35
and the Saudi people,
198
563897
1592
bangsa Saudi,
09:37
and they even started a hashtag called #OsloTraitor on Twitter.
199
565489
3361
juga memulai rangkaian hestek #PengkhianatOslo di Twitter.
09:40
Some 10,000 tweets were written in that hashtag,
200
568850
3269
Sekitar 10'000 tweet ditulis dengan hestek itu,
09:44
while the opposite hashtag, #OsloHero,
201
572119
2818
sementara twit dengan hestek #PahlawanOslo,
09:46
there was like a handful of tweets written.
202
574937
1784
hanya segelintir.
09:48
They even started a poll.
203
576721
1940
Mereka bahkan memulai pemungutan suara.
09:50
More than 13,000 voters answered this poll:
204
578661
3283
Lebih dari 13'000 orang menjawabnya:
09:53
whether they considered me a traitor or not after that speech.
205
581944
3026
Apakah saya patut dianggap pengkhianat atau tidak setelah ceramah tersebut.
09:56
Ninety percent said yes, she's a traitor.
206
584970
3026
Sembilan puluh persen menjawab, Ya, dia pengkhianat.
09:59
So it's these two totally different perceptions
207
587996
3890
Jadi di sini ada dua persepsi yang sama sekali berbeda
10:03
of my personality.
208
591886
1607
akan diri saya.
10:05
For me, I'm a proud Saudi woman,
209
593493
2024
Bagi saya, saya bangga menjadi wanita Saudi
10:07
and I do love my country,
210
595517
1599
dan mencintai negeri saya,
10:09
and because I love my country, I'm doing this.
211
597116
2929
dan karena cinta akan negeri, saya melakukan ini.
10:12
Because I believe a society will not be free
212
600045
2865
Karena saya yakin masyarakat tidak akan pernah bebas
10:14
if the women of that society are not free.
213
602910
2543
selama wanita dalam masyarakat itu belum bebas.
10:17
(Applause)
214
605453
9929
(Tepuk tangan)
10:27
Thank you.
215
615382
2352
Terima kasih.
10:29
(Applause)
216
617734
2816
(Tepuk tangan)
10:32
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
217
620550
2624
Terima kasih.
10:35
(Applause)
218
623174
12764
(Tepuk tangan)
10:47
Thank you.
219
635938
3677
Terima kasih.
10:51
But you learn lessons from these things that happen to you.
220
639615
4221
Kita belajar saat hal seperti ini terjadi.
10:55
I learned to be always there.
221
643836
2218
Saya belaja untuk selalu di sana.
10:58
The first thing, I got out of jail,
222
646054
2238
Hal pertama, begitu keluar penjara,
11:00
of course after I took a shower, I went online,
223
648292
3320
setelah mandi, tentunya, adalah masuk internet,
11:03
I opened my Twitter account and my Facebook page,
224
651612
3219
membuka akun Twitter dan Facebook saya,
11:06
and I've been always very respectful
225
654831
2288
dan saya selalu bersikap hormat
11:09
to those people who are opining to me.
226
657119
1507
pada pendapat semua orang.
11:10
I would listen to what they say,
227
658626
1600
Saya akan mendengarkan apa kata mereka,
11:12
and I would never defend myself with words only.
228
660226
2933
dan tidak akan pernah membela diri hanya dengan kata-kata.
11:15
I would use actions. When they said I should withdraw from the campaign,
229
663159
2408
Saya menggunakan sikap. Saat mereka menyuruh saya mundur kampanye,
11:17
I filed the first lawsuit against the general directorate
230
665567
3158
Saya menuntut direktorat umum polantas
11:20
of traffic police for not issuing me a driver's license.
231
668725
4242
yang tidak menerbitkan SIM mengemudi bagi saya.
11:24
There are a lot of people also --
232
672967
1975
Ada banyak orang yang juga --
11:26
very big support, like those 3,000 people
233
674942
2305
sangat mendukung, seperti 3000 orang
11:29
who signed the petition to release me.
234
677247
2364
yang menandatangani petisi untuk pembebasan saya.
11:31
We sent a petition to the Shura Council
235
679611
3204
Kami mengirimkan petisi ke Dewan Shura
11:34
in favor of lifting the ban on Saudi women,
236
682815
3232
untuk menghilangkan larangan mengemudi bagi wanita di Saudi
11:38
and there were, like, 3,500 citizens who believed in that
237
686047
3209
sekitar 3500 warga negara yang meyakini hal yang sama
11:41
and they signed that petition.
238
689256
1633
dan menandatangani petisi itu.
11:42
There were people like that, I just showed some examples,
239
690889
2871
Ada banyak orang , seperti saya contohkan,
11:45
who are amazing, who are believing in women's rights in Saudi Arabia,
240
693760
3112
yang luar biasa, yang meyakini hak-hak wanita di Saudi,
11:48
and trying, and they are also facing a lot of hate
241
696872
2728
dan berusaha, meskipun dengan mengahadapi banyak kebencian,
11:51
because of speaking up and voicing their views.
242
699600
3808
karena berbicara dan menyuarakan pandangan mereka
11:55
Saudi Arabia today is taking small steps
243
703408
2377
Arab Saudi hari ini mengambil langkah-langkah kecil
11:57
toward enhancing women's rights.
244
705785
2209
menuju perlindungan hak wanita.
11:59
The Shura Council that's appointed by the king,
245
707994
2198
Anggota Dewan Shura yang dipilih raja,
12:02
by royal decree of King Abdullah,
246
710192
2354
dengan dekrit dari Raja Abdullah,
12:04
last year there were 30 women assigned to that Council,
247
712546
3608
ada 30 wanita yang terpilih menjadi anggota dewan tersebut,
12:08
like 20 percent.
248
716154
2528
sekitar 20 persen.
12:10
20 percent of the Council. (Applause)
249
718682
2728
20 persen dari dewan. (Tepuk tangan)
12:13
The same time, finally, that Council,
250
721410
2160
Di waktu yang sama, setelah empat kali
12:15
after rejecting our petition four times for women driving,
251
723570
2992
menolak petisi untuk mengzinkan wanita mengemudi,
12:18
they finally accepted it last February.
252
726562
2575
dewan itu akhirnya menerimanya Februari yang lalu.
12:21
(Applause)
253
729137
4990
(Tepuk tangan)
12:26
After being sent to jail
254
734127
1837
Setelah masuk penjara,
12:27
or sentenced lashing, or sent to a trial,
255
735964
2853
atau divonis cambuk, atau diadili,
12:30
the spokesperson of the traffic police said,
256
738817
2089
juru bicara polantas berkata
12:32
we will only issue traffic violation for women drivers.
257
740906
4311
"Kami hanya akan mencatat pengemudi wanita sebagai pelanggar lalu lintas."
12:37
The Grand Mufti, who is the head
258
745217
1438
Mufti Besar, yang juga kepala lembaga agama
12:38
of the religious establishment in Saudi Arabia,
259
746655
2776
di Arab Saudi,
12:41
he said, it's not recommended for women to drive.
260
749431
4112
berkata, "Tak dianjurkan bagi wanita untuk mengemudi."
12:45
It used to be haram, forbidden, by the previous Grand Mufti.
261
753543
4530
Dulunya dianggap haram oleh Mufti Besar sebelumnya.
12:50
So for me, it's not about only these small steps.
262
758073
5549
Bagi saya bukan hanya soal langkah-langka kecil ini saja.
12:55
It's about women themselves.
263
763622
1565
Tapi juga tentang wanita itu sendiri.
12:57
A friend once asked me, she said,
264
765187
1652
Seorang teman pernah bertanya,
12:58
"So when do you think this women driving will happen?"
265
766839
2751
"Menurutmu kapan wanita akan diizinkan mengemudi?"
13:01
I told her, "Only if women stop asking 'When?'
266
769590
2749
Saya bilang, "Saat wanita berhenti bertanya 'Kapan?'
13:04
and take action to make it now."
267
772339
2774
dan mengambil sikap sekarang."
13:07
So it's not only about the system,
268
775113
1654
Jadi ini bukan saja tentang sistem negara,
13:08
it's also about us women to drive our own life, I'd say.
269
776767
6443
ini juga soal wanita yang ingin menahkodai hidupnya sendiri.
13:15
So I have no clue, really, how I became an activist.
270
783210
6152
Saya tidak tahu bagaimana saya menjadi seorang aktivis.
13:21
And I don't know how I became one now.
271
789362
3967
Dan saya tidak tahu bagaimana bersikap sebagai aktivis.
13:25
But all I know, and all I'm sure of, in the future
272
793329
3648
Yang saya tahu, yang saya yakini, bahwa di masa depan
13:28
when someone asks me my story,
273
796977
2768
saat seseorang menanyakan cerita saya,
13:31
I will say, "I'm proud
274
799745
2232
saya akan bilang, "Saya bangga
13:33
to be amongst those women who lifted the ban,
275
801977
2856
menjadi salah satu wanita yang mengangkat larangan itu,
13:36
fought the ban, and celebrated everyone's freedom."
276
804833
3775
melawannya dan merayakan kebebasan kita semua."
13:40
So the question I started my talk with,
277
808608
3297
Jadi pertanyaan di awal ceramah saya tadi,
13:43
who do you think is more difficult to face,
278
811905
3200
menurutmu mana yang lebih berat untuk dihadapi,
13:47
oppressive governments or oppressive societies?
279
815105
2957
pemerintah penindas atau masyarakat penindas?
13:50
I hope you find clues to answer that from my speech.
280
818062
2899
Saya harap anda dapat memetik jawabannya dari ceramah saya.
13:52
Thank you, everyone.
281
820961
1456
Terima kasih, semuanya.
13:54
(Applause)
282
822417
4768
(Tepuk tangan)
13:59
Thank you.
283
827185
3124
Terima kasih.
14:02
(Applause)
284
830309
5684
(Tepuk tangan)
14:07
Thank you. (Applause)
285
835993

Terima kasih. (Tepuk tangan)
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Manal al-Sharif - Women’s rights activistManal al-Sharif advocates for women’s right to drive, male guardianship annulment, and family protection in Saudi Arabia.
Why you should listen
In May 2011, Manal al-Sharif filmed herself driving a car in Saudi Arabia, where women are prohibited from driving. She posted the video on YouTube, called on women to participate in a Women2Drive campaign on June 17 of that year, and attracted 12,000 fans to a Facebook page she’d collaborated on called Teach Me How to Drive So I Can Protect Myself. During a second turn at the wheel, she was arrested. Nine days -- and a groundswell of protest -- later she was released from jail.
Al-Sharif, an information technology consultant, remains active in the women right's movement. She has broadened her campaign to focus on guardianship annulment and family protection as well as driving rights, and has founded several groups throughout Saudi Arabia with the title "My rights, my dignity."
