ナマステ おはようございます
00:18
I'm very happy to be here in India.
1
3000
2000
インドにこれて とても嬉しいです
00:20
And I've been thinking a lot about what I have learned
2
5000
3000
この11年間で学んだことをずっと考えています
00:23
over these last particularly 11 years
3
8000
3000
V-Dayや“ヴァギナ モノローグス”を通し
00:26
with V-Day and "The Vagina Monologues,"
4
11000
2000
各国の女性に会い
00:28
traveling the world,
5
13000
2000
女性に対する暴力を止めるため
00:30
essentially meeting with women and girls across the planet
6
15000
2000
世界中を―
00:32
to stop violence against women.
7
17000
3000
駆け回りました
00:35
What I want to talk about today
8
20000
2000
私が今日話したいのは
00:37
is this particular cell,
9
22000
3000
私たちの誰もが持っている―
00:40
or grouping of cells, that is in each and every one of us.
10
25000
3000
特定もしくはグループ細胞についてで
00:43
And I want to call it the girl cell.
11
28000
3000
私はそれを女子細胞と呼びたいと思います
00:46
And it's in men as well as in women.
12
31000
2000
それは男性の中にも存在します
00:48
I want you to imagine that this particular grouping of cells
13
33000
4000
この特定のグループ細胞が 人類進化の―
00:52
is central to the evolution of our species
14
37000
3000
そして人類存続への
00:55
and the continuation of the human race.
15
40000
3000
要だと想像してください
00:58
And I want you imagine that at some point in history
16
43000
2000
歴史の中で
01:00
a group of powerful people invested in owning and controlling the world
17
45000
4000
世界を支配し領有することに専念した
01:04
understood that the suppression of this particular cell,
18
49000
4000
権力者たちは
01:08
the oppression of these cells,
19
53000
2000
この女子細胞を
01:10
the reinterpretation of these cells,
20
55000
2000
制圧 抑圧し―
01:12
the undermining of these cells,
21
57000
2000
衰えさせ
01:14
getting us to believe in the weakness of these cells
22
59000
2000
新たな解釈を加えたり
01:16
and the crushing, eradicating, destroying,
23
61000
4000
この細胞の欠点を私たちに信じさせ
01:20
reducing these cells,
24
65000
3000
減少させ 破壊して粉砕し 根絶することで
01:23
basically began the process of killing off the girl cell,
25
68000
3000
女子細胞を消滅させる過程を開始したのです
01:26
which was, by the way, patriarchy.
26
71000
3000
家父長制社会がその結果です
01:29
I want you to imagine that the girl is a chip
27
74000
3000
女子とは集合意識の総体系の中にある―
01:32
in the huge macrocosm of collective consciousness.
28
77000
3000
チップだと考えてみてください
01:35
And it is essential to balance, to wisdom
29
80000
3000
それは調和や智慧を得る為―
01:38
and to actually the future of all of us.
30
83000
4000
そして私たちの未来にも欠かせないものです
01:42
And then I want you to imagine that this girl cell
31
87000
2000
女子細胞は
01:44
is compassion,
32
89000
4000
厚情であり 共感であり
01:48
and it's empathy, and it's passion itself,
33
93000
2000
情熱そのもの
01:50
and it's vulnerability,
34
95000
2000
それは繊細さであり
01:52
and it's openness, and it's intensity,
35
97000
2000
率直さ厳しさ
01:54
and it's association, and it's relationship,
36
99000
2000
繋がりや結びつきでもあり
01:56
and it is intuitive.
37
101000
3000
直観的なものなの
01:59
And then let's think how compassion informs wisdom,
38
104000
4000
どの様に厚情が智慧に影響を与えるでしょう？
02:03
and that vulnerability is our greatest strength,
39
108000
3000
繊細さは最も優れた長所であり―
02:06
and that emotions have inherent logic,
40
111000
2000
急進かつ適切で 行動の節約へと導く―
02:08
which lead to radical, appropriate, saving action.
41
113000
3000
生得的論理が感情にはあります
02:11
And then let's remember that we've been taught
42
116000
2000
しかしながら私たちは―
02:13
the exact opposite by the powers that be,
43
118000
2000
まるで反対のことを教えられてきたのではないでしょうか？
02:15
that compassion clouds your thinking,
44
120000
2000
厚情は思考を鈍らせ―
02:17
that it gets in the way,
45
122000
2000
妨げる
02:19
that vulnerability is weakness,
46
124000
2000
繊細さは弱さであり
02:21
that emotions are not to be trusted,
47
126000
2000
感情は信用できず―
02:23
and you're not supposed to take things personally,
48
128000
2000
物事を私的に捉えてはいけない
02:25
which is one of my favorites.
49
130000
3000
今のは私のお気に入りね
02:28
I think the whole world has essentially
50
133000
3000
思うに 世界全体が女子にならないよう―
02:31
been brought up not to be a girl.
51
136000
2000
育てられてきたのでは？
02:33
How do we bring up boys? What does it mean to be a boy?
52
138000
2000
“男の子になる” とはどういう意味でしょう？
02:35
To be a boy really means not to be a girl.
53
140000
3000
“男の子になる” とは“女子にならない” という意味なのです
02:38
To be a man means not to be a girl.
54
143000
3000
男になる＝女子にならない
02:41
To be a woman means not to be a girl.
55
146000
2000
女性になる＝女子にならない
02:43
To be strong means not to be a girl.
56
148000
2000
強くなること＝女子にならないこと
02:45
To be a leader means not to be a girl.
57
150000
2000
リーダーになる＝女子にならない
02:47
I actually think that
58
152000
3000
実は “女子になる” ということは
02:50
being a girl is so powerful
59
155000
3000
とても “強力” なのです
02:53
that we've had to train everyone not to be that.
60
158000
3000
だってみんながそうならないように教え込まれてきたのですから
02:56
(Laughter)
61
161000
6000
（拍手）
03:02
And I'd also like to say that the irony
62
167000
2000
皮肉なことに
03:04
of course, is that denying girl,
63
169000
2000
“女子” を否定 制圧し―
03:06
suppressing girl, suppressing emotion,
64
171000
2000
感情を抑え拒絶したことが
03:08
refusing feeling has lead thus here.
65
173000
3000
私たちを今日の世界へと導いたのです
03:11
Where we have now come to live in a world where
66
176000
3000
見るに堪えない貧困
03:14
the most extreme forms of violence,
67
179000
2000
大量殺戮に大量レイプ―
03:16
the most horrific poverty,
68
181000
3000
極度の暴力の種類が蔓延る
03:19
genocide, mass rapes,
69
184000
2000
この制御を失った壊れゆく地球で―
03:21
the destruction of the Earth, is completely out of control.
70
186000
3000
暮らすハメになったのです
03:24
And because we have suppressed our girl cells
71
189000
2000
女子細胞を抑え込み
03:26
and suppressed our girl-ship,
72
191000
2000
「女子らしさ」を制圧した為
03:28
we do not feel what is going on.
73
193000
2000
何が起こっているか感じることができません
03:30
So, we are not being charged with
74
195000
4000
そう 私たちは起きていることに対しての―
03:34
the adequate response to what is happening.
75
199000
2000
十分な感応をゆだねられてないのです
03:36
I want to talk a little bit about
76
201000
2000
私の人生の転換点となった―
03:38
the Democratic Republic of Congo.
77
203000
2000
コンゴ民主共和国について
03:40
For me, it was the turning point of my life.
78
205000
3000
少しお話したいと思います
03:43
I have spent a lot of time there in the last three years.
79
208000
3000
これまでの12年間
03:46
I feel up to that point I had seen a lot in the world,
80
211000
3000
暴力やレイプが蔓延する世界で―
03:49
a lot of violence.
81
214000
2000
多くを見てきたと思っていましたが
03:51
I essentially lived in the rape mines of the world for the last 12 years.
82
216000
3000
コンゴで過ごした最後３年間は
03:54
But the Democratic Republic of Congo
83
219000
3000
私の魂の―
03:57
really was the turning point in my soul.
84
222000
4000
ターニングポイントとなったのです
04:01
I went and I spent time
85
226000
2000
ブカヴ市にある
04:03
in a place called Bukavu
86
228000
2000
パンジー病院では
04:05
in a hospital called the Panzi Hospital,
87
230000
2000
今まで会った誰よりも
04:07
with a doctor who was as close to a saint as any person I've ever met.
88
232000
3000
聖人と呼ぶに相応しいムクワゲ医師と
04:10
His name is Dr. Denis Mukwege.
89
235000
3000
時間を共にしました
04:13
In the Congo, for those of you who don't know,
90
238000
3000
コンゴでは激しい戦争が
04:16
there has been a war raging for the last 12 years,
91
241000
3000
12年間も続いており
04:19
a war that has killed nearly six million people.
92
244000
3000
6百万人もの人が犠牲になっています
04:22
It is estimated that somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 women
93
247000
4000
そして推定で約40万人もの女性が
04:26
have been raped there.
94
251000
2000
レイプされています
04:28
When I spent my first weeks at Panzi hospital
95
253000
3000
パンジー病院での最初の一週間―
04:31
I sat with women
96
256000
2000
自らに起こった出来事を
04:33
who sat and lined up every day to tell me their stories.
97
258000
3000
話してくれる為に列をなす女性たちと共に過ごしました
04:36
Their stories were so horrific,
98
261000
2000
彼女たちの物語はあまりに信じ難く
04:38
and so mind-blowing and so on the other side of human existence,
99
263000
3000
人間の持つ恐ろしい側面には
04:41
that to be perfectly honest with you, I was shattered.
100
266000
4000
正直 精神を砕かれました
04:45
And I will tell you that what happened
101
270000
2000
その内容を
04:47
is through that shattering,
102
272000
2000
お話します
04:49
listening to the stories of eight-year-old girls who had their insides eviscerated,
103
274000
4000
内臓を取り除かれ 銃やナイフなどを―
04:53
who had guns and bayonets and things shoved inside them
104
278000
3000
体内に押しこまれた8歳の女の子たち
04:56
so they had holes, literally, inside them
105
281000
2000
文字通り “穴” を開けられ
04:58
where their pee and poop came out of them.
106
283000
2000
そこからは尿や便が流れ出る
05:00
Listening to the story of 80-year-old women
107
285000
2000
鎖に縛られ
05:02
who were tied to chains and circled,
108
287000
3000
複数の男に囲まれ
05:05
and where groups of men would come and rape them periodically,
109
290000
3000
断続的にレイプされた80歳の女性
05:08
all in the name of economic exploitation
110
293000
2000
全ては経済的搾取という名のもとに
05:10
to steal the minerals so the West can have it and profit from them.
111
295000
4000
鉱物を奪い先進国に売りつけ利益得る為に
05:14
My mind was so shattered.
112
299000
3000
私の心は粉々になってしまいました
05:17
But what happened for me is that that shattering
113
302000
4000
でも その粉砕こそが
05:21
actually emboldened me
114
306000
2000
私を後押ししてくれ―
05:23
in a way I have never been emboldened.
115
308000
3000
今までに無かった形で励ましてくれたの
05:26
That shattering, that opening of my girl cell,
116
311000
3000
打ち砕かれたことによって私の女子細胞を開花し―
05:29
that kind of massive breakthrough of my heart
117
314000
6000
心の壁を突き破ることで 今までの私よりも
05:35
allowed me to become more courageous, and braver,
118
320000
3000
より勇敢により強く
05:38
and actually more clever
119
323000
2000
そしてより賢くなることを
05:40
than I had been in the past in my life.
120
325000
2000
可能にしてくれたのです
05:42
I want to say that I think the powers that be
121
327000
3000
権力者は知っているのだと思います
05:45
know that empire-building
122
330000
2000
感情こそが
05:47
is actually -- that feelings get in the way of empire-building.
123
332000
4000
勢力の拡大や地球の資源搾取―
05:51
Feelings get in the way of the mass acquisition of the Earth,
124
336000
3000
破壊行為を
05:54
and excavating the Earth, and destroying things.
125
339000
2000
妨げるものであることを
05:56
I remember, for example, when my father,
126
341000
2000
例えば私の父
05:58
who was very, very violent, used to beat me.
127
343000
3000
父はとても暴力的でよく暴力を振るわれました
06:01
And he would actually say, while he was beating me,
128
346000
2000
私を殴る時はいつも こう言うのです
06:03
"Don't you cry. Don't you dare cry."
129
348000
2000
“泣くんじゃない 泣いたら承知しないぞ”
06:05
Because my crying somehow exposed his brutality to him.
130
350000
4000
まるで私の涙が自身の残忍さを露呈させるかのように
06:09
And even in the moment he didn't want to be reminded
131
354000
2000
一瞬でさえも 自分のやっていることを
06:11
of what he was doing.
132
356000
2000
認識させられたくなかったのです
06:13
I know that we have systematically annihilated the girl cell.
133
358000
4000
私たちは意図的に女子細胞を壊滅させたのです
06:17
And I want to say we've annihilated it in men as well as in women.
134
362000
3000
男だけでなく女の中の女子細胞までね
06:20
And I think in some ways
135
365000
2000
そしてどこか私たちは
06:22
we've been much harsher to men
136
367000
2000
男の女子細胞の壊滅には―
06:24
in the annihilation of their girl cell.
137
369000
2000
より手厳しく対処してきたでしょう
06:26
(Applause)
138
371000
1000
（拍手）
06:27
I see how boys have been brought up, and I see this across the planet:
139
372000
4000
世界中で男の子がどのように育てられいるか見てきました
06:31
to be tough, to be hardened,
140
376000
3000
強くなる為に 非情になる為に―
06:34
to distance themselves from their tenderness, to not cry.
141
379000
4000
自身の持つ優しさから遠ざけ 涙を流させないのです
06:38
I actually realized once in Kosovo,
142
383000
2000
コソボで理解したことがあります
06:40
when I watched a man break down,
143
385000
2000
崩れ落ちる男を見た時
06:42
that bullets are actually hardened tears,
144
387000
3000
銃弾は涙を凝固させ―
06:45
that when we don't allow men to have their girl self
145
390000
4000
“女子”の要素である繊細さなどの心を持たせないことは
06:49
and have their vulnerability, and have their compassion,
146
394000
2000
彼らを非情にさせ
06:51
and have their hearts, that they become hardened and hurtful
147
396000
3000
より危険に より暴力的に―
06:54
and violent.
148
399000
2000
させるのです
06:56
And I think we have taught men to be secure
149
401000
2000
これまで私たちは 男に対し教育してきましたー
06:58
when they are insecure,
150
403000
2000
自信が無くても自信を持つように―
07:00
to pretend they know things when they don't know things,
151
405000
2000
理解してなくても理解したフリをするように
07:02
or why would we be where we are?
152
407000
2000
でなければ私達はここまで来れなかった
07:04
To pretend they're not a mess when they are a mess.
153
409000
3000
困窮時にはそうでないフリをする様に教えてきたのでは？
07:07
And I will tell you a very funny story.
154
412000
2000
ここでおもしろい話をひとつ
07:09
On my way here on the airplane, I was walking up and down the aisle of the plane.
155
414000
3000
ここへの飛行機の中で私は通路を行き来してたのだけど
07:12
And all these men, literally at least 10 men,
156
417000
4000
少なくとも10人以上の男たちは小さな座席にちょこんと座り
07:16
were in their little seats watching chick flicks.
157
421000
3000
ラブロマンスの映画ばかり見ていたのです
07:19
And they were all alone, and I thought, "This is the secret life of men."
158
424000
3000
こう思いました “これが隠された男の正体ね”
07:22
(Laughter)
159
427000
4000
（笑）
07:26
I've traveled, as I said,
160
431000
2000
前にも言ったように
07:28
to many, many countries,
161
433000
2000
私は世界中を周り多くを見てきました
07:30
and I've seen, if we do what we do to the girl inside us
162
435000
4000
女子細胞への仕打ちを考えれば
07:34
then obviously it's horrific to think
163
439000
2000
“生身の” 女子たちがどんな目に遭っているか？
07:36
what we do to girls in the world.
164
441000
2000
想像するのも恐ろしいのです
07:38
And we heard from Sunitha yesterday,
165
443000
2000
昨日 スニータやカヴィータからも―
07:40
and Kavita about what we do to girls.
166
445000
2000
何が起こってるか聞きましたよね？
07:42
But I just want to say that
167
447000
2000
これまで酷い扱いを受けた女子に会いました
07:44
I've met girls with knife wounds and cigarette burns,
168
449000
3000
切り傷とタバコの焼印だらけで―
07:47
who are literally being treated like ashtrays.
169
452000
2000
文字通り灰皿代わりにされた女の子たち
07:49
I've seen girls be treated like garbage cans.
170
454000
3000
ゴミ箱のように扱われ
07:52
I've seen girls who were beaten by their mothers
171
457000
2000
親兄弟から親族から―
07:54
and brothers and fathers and uncles.
172
459000
3000
暴力を受ける女の子たち
07:57
I've seen girls starving themselves to death in America
173
462000
3000
アメリカの施設では“理想の体型” の為に
08:00
in institutions to look like some idealized version of themselves.
174
465000
3000
自ら餓死寸前になる女の子たち
08:03
I've seen that we cut girls and we control them
175
468000
2000
女性性器を切除し 操作し―
08:05
and we keep them illiterate,
176
470000
2000
読み書きをできないままにさせる
08:07
or we make them feel bad about being too smart.
177
472000
2000
聡明すぎることへの―
08:09
We silence them. We make them feel guilty
178
474000
2000
罪悪感を負わせ 黙らせる
08:11
for being smart. We get them to behave,
179
476000
2000
行儀よくしろと言われ
08:13
to tone it down, not to be too intense.
180
478000
3000
感情を抑え慎めと教えられ
08:16
We sell them, we kill them as embryos,
181
481000
2000
売り飛ばし 中絶させ―
08:18
we enslave them, we rape them.
182
483000
3000
支配し レイプする
08:21
We are so accustomed to robbing girls
183
486000
2000
自分の人生の中で主体であろうとする
08:23
of the subject of being the subjects of their lives
184
488000
3000
女の子たちの自我を奪うことに慣れ
08:26
that we have now actually objectified them
185
491000
2000
今では実際に客体化させ―
08:28
and turned them into commodities.
186
493000
2000
商品にしてしまったのです
08:30
The selling of girls is rampant across the planet.
187
495000
3000
人身売買は世界中に蔓延り
08:33
And in many places they are worth less than goats and cows.
188
498000
5000
多くの場合 彼女たちは家畜以下の値段で売られます
08:38
But I also want to talk about the fact that
189
503000
2000
しかし世界の人口の
08:40
if one in eight people on the planet
190
505000
3000
８人に１人が10歳から24歳の女子という
08:43
are girls between the ages of 10 to 24,
191
508000
3000
事実を踏まえると
08:46
they are they key, really, in the developing world,
192
511000
3000
彼女たちは発展途上国を含む世界全体―
08:49
as well as in the whole world, to the future of humanity.
193
514000
3000
人類の未来へのカギなのです
08:52
And if girls are in trouble because they face systematic disadvantages
194
517000
3000
彼女たちが困難な状況にあるのは
08:55
that keep them where society wants them to be,
195
520000
3000
教育や栄養のある食事、医療サービスを得難く
08:58
including lack of access to healthcare,
196
523000
2000
肉体労働への強制参加を含む
09:00
education, healthy foods,
197
525000
2000
組織的な状況が彼女たちを
09:02
labor force participation.
198
527000
2000
社会が望む位置へ押しこめているからです
09:04
The burden of all the household tasks
199
529000
2000
その境界を越えることが無いように
09:06
usually falls on girls and younger siblings,
200
531000
3000
家事の重荷は大抵―
09:09
which ensures that they will never overcome these barriers.
201
534000
3000
女の子か若い家族メンバーに課せられます
09:12
The state of girls, the condition of girls,
202
537000
2000
女の子の環境や状況が―
09:14
will, in my belief -- and that's the girl inside us
203
539000
3000
内側の“女子” と 外側の“女子”が―
09:17
and the girl in the world -- determine whether
204
542000
2000
人類残存を決定することになると―
09:19
the species survives.
205
544000
2000
信じてます
09:21
And what I want to suggest is that,
206
546000
3000
女の子たちと話をしていくことで
09:24
having talked to girls, because I just finished a new book called
207
549000
3000
「私は感情的なイキモノ ～隠された女子の物語～」
09:27
"I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World,"
208
552000
3000
という本を書き上げました
09:30
I've been talking to girls for five years,
209
555000
2000
５年間 女の子と話してきましたが
09:32
and one of the things that I've seen is true everywhere
210
557000
3000
何処に行ってもある“言葉”が―
09:35
is that the verb that's been enforced on girl
211
560000
2000
いつも女の子に強要されているのです
09:37
is the verb "to please."
212
562000
2000
“奉仕”という言葉
09:39
Girls are trained to please.
213
564000
3000
女の子は奉仕するように訓練されてます
09:42
I want to change the verb.
214
567000
2000
この言葉を変えたい
09:44
I want us all to change the verb.
215
569000
2000
みんなでこの言葉を―
09:46
I want the verb to be "educate,"
216
571000
2000
“教育” に
09:48
or "activate," or "engage,"
217
573000
2000
“積極的” や “没頭” に
09:50
or "confront," or "defy," or "create."
218
575000
3000
“戦う” “抵抗” “創造” へと変えるのです
09:53
If we teach girls to change the verb
219
578000
3000
彼女たちに この言葉を変えることを教えれば―
09:56
we will actually enforce the girl inside us
220
581000
3000
私たちの中の“女子”を―
09:59
and the girl inside them.
221
584000
2000
守ることができるのです
10:01
And I have to now share a few stories
222
586000
3000
世界中で会った女の子たちの話を
10:04
of girls I've seen across the planet
223
589000
2000
いくつかしたいと思います
10:06
who have engaged their girl,
224
591000
2000
彼女たちの周りにある厳しい環境にも関わらず
10:08
who have taken on their girl in spite of
225
593000
2000
自分の中の“女子”を信じ―
10:10
all the circumstances around them.
226
595000
3000
受け入れた彼女たちの話を
10:13
I know a 14-year-old girl in the Netherlands,
227
598000
2000
14歳のオランダ人の女の子は
10:15
for example, who is demanding that she take a boat
228
600000
4000
ボートに乗って世界中を１人で―
10:19
and go around the entire world by herself.
229
604000
3000
旅しようとしている
10:22
There is a teenage girl who just recently
230
607000
2000
顔の右半分に―
10:24
went out and knew that she needed 56 stars
231
609000
3000
56つの星のタトゥーを入れた―
10:27
tattooed on the right side of her face.
232
612000
2000
10代の女の子
10:29
There is a girl, Julia Butterfly Hill,
233
614000
3000
自然にあるオークの木を守る為
10:32
who lived for a year in a tree
234
617000
2000
１年間 木の上で生活した―
10:34
because she wanted to protect the wild oaks.
235
619000
3000
ジュリアという女の子
10:37
There is a girl who I met 14 years ago in Afghanistan
236
622000
4000
14年前アフガニスタンで会った女の子は
10:41
who I have adopted as my daughter
237
626000
2000
革命家の母親を殺されてしまい
10:43
because her mother was killed. Her mother was a revolutionary.
238
628000
3000
私は彼女を養子にしました
10:46
And this girl, when she was 17 years old,
239
631000
3000
17歳の時 ブルカの下にカメラを隠し
10:49
wore a burqa in Afghanistan,
240
634000
2000
アフガニスタンで女性に対して
10:51
and went into the stadiums
241
636000
2000
残虐な行為を行っている場所に潜入し
10:53
and documented the atrocities that were going on towards women,
242
638000
4000
ブルカの下に隠したカメラで その様子を―
10:57
underneath her burqa, with a video.
243
642000
2000
記録したのです
10:59
And that video became the video that went out all over the world
244
644000
3000
そのビデオは911の後 世界中に広がり―
11:02
after 9/11 to show what was going on in Afghanistan.
245
647000
5000
アフガニスタンの中で何が起こっているかを世界に見せたのです
11:07
I want to talk about Rachel Corrie
246
652000
2000
レイチェル コリーについても少し
11:09
who was in her teens when she stood in front of an Israeli tank
247
654000
3000
彼女はイスラエル軍の占領を止める為
11:12
to say, "End the occupation."
248
657000
2000
命を危険さらしながらも
11:14
And she knew she risked death and she was literally gunned down
249
659000
3000
軍のブルドーザーの前に立ちはだかり
11:17
and rolled over by that tank.
250
662000
3000
そのまま引き殺されてしまいました
11:20
And I want to talk about a girl that I just met recently
251
665000
2000
最近ブカウで会った女の子は
11:22
in Bukavu, who was impregnated by her rapist.
252
667000
4000
レイプによって妊娠させられました
11:26
And she was holding her baby.
253
671000
2000
赤ちゃんを抱いている彼女に
11:28
And I asked her if she loved her baby.
254
673000
2000
その赤ちゃんを愛せるか？と聞くと
11:30
And she looked into her baby's eyes and she said,
255
675000
2000
赤ちゃんの目を見つめながら
11:32
"Of course I love my baby. How could I not love my baby?
256
677000
4000
“もちろん 愛に包まれた私の赤ちゃんよ どうしたら愛さずにいられるの？”
11:36
It's my baby and it's full of love."
257
681000
2000
と言ったのです
11:38
The capacity for girls to overcome situations
258
683000
4000
女の子が持つ 困難を克服する力は
11:42
and to move on levels, to me, is mind-blowing.
259
687000
4000
私には想像出来ないほどです
11:46
There is a girl named Dorcas, and I just met her in Kenya.
260
691000
2000
ケニアで会った
11:48
Dorcas is 15 years old,
261
693000
2000
15歳のドーカスは
11:50
and she was trained in self-defense.
262
695000
2000
護身術の訓練を受けています
11:52
A few months ago she was picked up on the street
263
697000
3000
数ヶ月前 彼女は道端で３人の男から―
11:55
by three older men.
264
700000
2000
車に押し込まれ 誘拐されたのです
11:57
They kidnapped her, they put her in a car.
265
702000
3000
しかし訓練の通りに彼女は
12:00
And through her self-defense, she grabbed their Adam's apples,
266
705000
2000
男の咽喉ボトケを掴み
12:02
she punched them in the eyes
267
707000
2000
目を突き―
12:04
and she got herself free and out of the car.
268
709000
4000
車から逃げ出したのです
12:08
In Kenya, in August,
269
713000
2000
８月にはケニアにある
12:10
I went to visit one of the V-Day safe houses for girls,
270
715000
3000
７年前にアグネスという女性と共に作った
12:13
a house we opened seven years ago
271
718000
2000
V-Dayセーフハウスを
12:15
with an amazing woman named Agnes Pareyio.
272
720000
3000
訪れました
12:18
Agnes was a woman who was cut when she was a little girl,
273
723000
4000
アグネスはまだ幼い少女の時に
12:22
she was female genitally mutilated.
274
727000
2000
女性性器を切除されました
12:24
And she made a decision as many women do across this planet,
275
729000
3000
多くの女性同様に 彼女は同じことが―
12:27
that what was done to her would not be enforced and done
276
732000
3000
他の女性や女の子に行われてはならないと
12:30
to other women and girls.
277
735000
2000
決心しました
12:32
So, for years Agnes walked through the Rift valley.
278
737000
2000
それから幾年 ケニアを南北に渡り
12:34
She taught girls what a healthy vagina looked like,
279
739000
4000
女の子たちに 自然体なヴァギナはどういうものか―
12:38
and what a mutilated vagina looked like.
280
743000
3000
損壊されたヴァギナがどういうものかを教えて周ったのです
12:41
And in that time she saved many girls. And when we met her
281
746000
2000
多くの女の子が救われました
12:43
we asked her what we could do for her,
282
748000
2000
彼女に会った時 私たちに何ができるかを聞くと
12:45
and she said, "Well, if you got me a Jeep I could get around a lot faster."
283
750000
4000
“車を用意してもらえるともっと早く移動ができるわね” と言ったので
12:49
So, we got her a Jeep. And then she saved 4,500 girls.
284
754000
3000
車を用意し 彼女は4500人の女の子を救ったのです
12:52
And then we asked her, "Okay, what else do you need?"
285
757000
2000
“他にできることは？” と聞くと
12:54
And she said, "Well, now, I need a house."
286
759000
3000
“今度は家が必要だわ” と言うので
12:57
So, seven years ago Agnes built the first V-Day safe house
287
762000
3000
マサイの地にあるナロックという町に
13:00
in Narok, Kenya, in the Masai land.
288
765000
3000
最初のV-Dayセーフハウスを建てました
13:03
And it was a house where girls could run away,
289
768000
2000
そこは女の子たちが避難でき―
13:05
they could save their clitoris, they wouldn't be cut,
290
770000
2000
彼女たちのクリトリス守ることができ―
13:07
they could go to school.
291
772000
2000
学校に行くことができる場所です
13:09
And in the years that Agnes has had the house,
292
774000
2000
ハウスを建てて数年で
13:11
she has changed the situation there.
293
776000
3000
彼女はその地域の状況を変化させたのです
13:14
She has literally become deputy mayor.
294
779000
3000
市の助役となった彼女は
13:17
She's changed the rules.
295
782000
3000
ルールを改正させました
13:20
The whole community has bought in to what she's doing.
296
785000
2000
地域全体が彼女の取り組みを受け入れました
13:22
When we were there she was doing a ritual
297
787000
3000
私たちが訪れた時は 家出した女の子と―
13:25
where she reconciles girls, who have run away, with their families.
298
790000
3000
その家族の和解を取り持っていました
13:28
And there was a young girl named Jaclyn.
299
793000
3000
14歳のジャクリーンというマサイ族の
13:31
Jaclyn was 14 years old and she was in her Masai family
300
796000
3000
女の子がいました
13:34
and there's a drought in Kenya.
301
799000
2000
ケニアでは干ばつが続いていて
13:36
So cows are dying, and cows are the most
302
801000
2000
最も価値のある所有物である
13:38
valued possession.
303
803000
2000
牛が死んでいったのです
13:40
And Jaclyn overheard her father
304
805000
2000
ジャクリーンは父親と年配の男が
13:42
talking to an old man about
305
807000
2000
牛の為に彼女を売ろうとしている話を
13:44
how he was about to sell her for the cows.
306
809000
3000
耳にしました
13:47
And she knew that meant she would be cut.
307
812000
2000
それが学校にも行けず
13:49
She knew that meant she wouldn't go to school.
308
814000
2000
性器切除され 未来はなく
13:51
She knew that meant she wouldn't have a future.
309
816000
2000
男の妻にならなければいけない
13:53
She knew she would have to marry that old man, and she was 14.
310
818000
3000
ということを意味することを知っていました
13:56
So, one afternoon, she'd heard about the safe house,
311
821000
4000
そしてある日 セーフハウスのことを耳にしたのです
14:00
Jaclyn left her father's house
312
825000
2000
彼女は家を飛び出し
14:02
and she walked for two days, two days
313
827000
3000
マサイの地を２日間歩きました
14:05
through Masai land.
314

2000
“２日間”もです
14:07
She slept with the hyenas. She hid at night.
315
832000
2000
身を隠すためハイエナと共に夜を明かし―
14:09
She imagined her father killing her on one hand,
316
834000
3000
父親に捕まり殺される恐怖の一方で
14:12
and Mama Agnes greeting her,
317
837000
2000
ハウスでアグネスが出迎えてくれるという
14:14
with the hope that she would greet her when she got to the house.
318
839000
2000
希望を持って歩きました
14:16
And when she got to the house she was greeted.
319
841000
2000
ハウスに着いた彼女は迎えられました
14:18
Agnes took her in, and Agnes loved her,
320
843000
3000
アグネスは彼女を受け入れ 愛を与えました
14:21
and Agnes supported her for the year.
321
846000
2000
ジャクリーンは１年間のサポートを受け
14:23
She went to school and she found her voice,
322
848000
2000
学校に通い自分のやるべきことを見つけ
14:25
and she found her identity, and she found her heart.
323
850000
2000
自己を見つけ心の在りかを見つけました
14:27
Then, her time was ready
324
852000
3000
そうして１年後―
14:30
when she had to go back to talk to her father
325
855000
3000
彼女は家に戻り 父と和解の話しをする―
14:33
about the reconciliation, after a year.
326
858000
2000
準備ができました
14:35
I had the privilege of being in the hut
327
860000
3000
私は彼女が父と再会し和解する場面に
14:38
when she was reunited with her father and reconciled.
328
863000
3000
居合わせる特権を頂きました
14:41
In that hut, we walked in,
329
866000
3000
そして家に入ると
14:44
and her father and his four wives were sitting there,
330
869000
3000
父と４人の妻たちが座っていて
14:47
and her sisters who had just returned because
331
872000
2000
彼女の後に家を出た姉妹たちも
14:49
they had all fled when she had fled,
332
874000
2000
戻ってきていました
14:51
and her primary mother, who had been beaten
333
876000
3000
そして彼女を守る為 暴力を受けてきた―
14:54
in standing up for her with the elders.
334
879000
3000
彼女の母親
14:57
When her father saw her and saw who she had become,
335
882000
3000
そして“女性”へと変身した娘の姿を―
15:00
in her full girl self,
336
885000
2000
見た父親は―
15:02
he threw his arms around her and broke down crying.
337
887000
3000
彼女を抱きしめ 泣き崩れ こう言いました
15:05
He said, "You are beautiful. You have grown into a gorgeous woman.
338
890000
4000
“お前は美しい大人の女になった―
15:09
We will not cut you.
339
894000
2000
切除なんてしない―
15:11
And I give you my word, here and now,
340
896000
2000
誓ってもいい―
15:13
that we will not cut your sisters either."
341
898000
3000
お前の姉妹も切除しないと”
15:16
And what she said to him was,
342
901000
2000
彼女は―
15:18
"You were willing to sell me for four cows,
343
903000
2000
“あなたは４頭の牛と子牛１匹―
15:20
and a calf and some blankets.
344
905000
4000
それと毛布を少しを得るために私を売ろうとした
15:24
But I promise you, now that I will be educated
345
909000
2000
でも安心して 私はこれから教育を受けて―
15:26
I will always take care of you,
346
911000
3000
ずっとお父さんの世話をしてあげる
15:29
and I will come back and I will build you a house.
347
914000
3000
戻ってきたらお父さんの家を建てましょう
15:32
And I will be in your corner for the rest of your life."
348
917000
3000
そしていつまでのお父さんのそばにいるから”
15:35
For me, that is the power of girls.
349
920000
2000
これこそが“女子”の力です
15:37
And that is the power of transformation.
350
922000
3000
これこそが“成長”の力なのです
15:40
I want to close today
351
925000
3000
本の中からの一節を紹介して―
15:43
with a new piece from my book.
352
928000
2000
終わりにしたいと思います
15:45
And I want to do it tonight
353
930000
2000
ここにいる全ての女子の為に―
15:47
for the girl in everybody here.
354
932000
2000
スニータの為に―
15:49
And I want to do it for Sunitha.
355
934000
3000
そしてスニータが話していた
15:52
And I want to do it for the girls that Sunitha talked about yesterday,
356
937000
3000
生き延び 夢を叶えられる可能性がある―
15:55
the girls who survive, the girls who can become somebody else.
357
940000
4000
女の子たちの為に読みます
15:59
But I really want to do it for each and every person here,
358
944000
4000
そしてここに居る皆さん一人一人のためにも読みたい
16:03
to value the girl in us,
359
948000
2000
なぜなら内に秘めた“女子”の大切さを知り
16:05
to value the part that cries,
360
950000
2000
私たちの中の涙を流す部分―
16:07
to value the part that's emotional,
361
952000
2000
感情的な部分―
16:09
to value the part that's vulnerable,
362
954000
2000
傷つきやすい部分を大切にして欲しいから
16:11
to understand that's where the future lies.
363
956000
4000
それが私たちの未来を左右すると理解して欲しいから
16:15
This is called "I'm An Emotional Creature."
364
960000
2000
この作品は“私は感情的なイキモノ” と言い―
16:17
And it happened because I met a girl in Watts, L.A.
365
962000
3000
ロスのワッツで出逢った女の子が始まりでした
16:20
I was asking girls if they like being a girl,
366
965000
2000
女子に満足しているか？という質問をしていた時です
16:22
and all the girls were like, "No, I hate it. I can't stand it.
367
967000
2000
みんな “嫌いよ 耐えられないわ―
16:24
It's all bad. My brothers get everything."
368
969000
3000
全部 弟や兄が占領するんだもの” と答えました
16:27
And this girl just sat up and went, "I love being a girl.
369
972000
2000
でも ある女の子は―
16:29
I'm an emotional creature!"
370
974000
3000
“女子最高じゃない？ 感情的なイキモノなのよ！” こう言いました
16:32
(Laughter)
371
977000
1000
（笑）
16:33
This is for her:
372
978000
3000
彼女に捧げます
16:36
I love being a girl.
373
981000
3000
女子は最高よ！
16:39
I can feel what you're feeling
374
984000
2000
あなたが何を感じてるか―
16:41
as you're feeling inside the feeling before.
375
986000
3000
内に秘めた感情も感じられるの
16:44
I am an emotional creature.
376
989000
4000
感情的なイキモノだもの！
16:48
Things do not come to me as intellectual theories
377
993000
2000
理屈や理論―
16:50
or hard-pressed ideas.
378
995000
2000
窮屈な考え方では分からない
16:52
They pulse through my organs and legs and burn up my ears.
379
997000
3000
臓器から足下まで脈動し耳まで熱くなる感覚で分かるの
16:55
Oh, I know when your girlfriend's really pissed off,
380
1000000
3000
あなたの彼女が不機嫌な時だって解るのよ
16:58
even though she appears to give you what you want.
381
1003000
2000
例え そうでないフリをしててもね
17:00
I know when a storm is coming.
382
1005000
2000
嵐が来る！って分かるの
17:02
I can feel the invisible stirrings in the air.
383
1007000
3000
目に見えない空気の揺らぎを感じるの
17:05
I can tell you he won't call back. It's a vibe I share.
384
1010000
3000
彼は電話して来ないって“空間”を共有すれば解るの
17:08
I am an emotional creature.
385
1013000
2000
感情的なイキモノだもの！
17:10
I love that I do not take things lightly.
386
1015000
3000
物事を軽く捉えないって最高よ―
17:13
Everything is intense to me,
387
1018000
2000
私にとっては全てが熱をもってるの
17:15
the way I walk in the street, the way my momma wakes me up,
388
1020000
3000
通りを歩く時だって、朝ママが私を起こす時だって
17:18
the way it's unbearable when I lose, the way I hear bad news.
389
1023000
4000
失うことには耐えられの！ニュースだって人ごとじゃないの！
17:22
I am an emotional creature.
390
1027000
3000
感情的なイキモノなんだから！
17:25
I am connected to everything and everyone. I was born like that.
391
1030000
3000
全てと みんなと繋がっているの！そういう風に生まれてきたの！
17:28
Don't you say all negative
392
1033000
2000
否定的に決めつけて、
17:30
that it's only only a teenage thing,
393
1035000
2000
若いからとか、女の子だからー
17:32
or it's only because I'm a girl.
394
1037000
2000
なんて言わなせない！
17:34
These feelings make me better.
395
1039000
2000
この感情が私をより良くしてくれるの
17:36
They make me present. They make me ready. They make me strong.
396
1041000
2000
生きてることを実感でき 心の準備をさせ強くしてくれる
17:38
I am an emotional creature.
397
1043000
3000
私は感情的なイキモノなの！
17:41
There is a particular way of knowing.
398
1046000
2000
齢を重ねた女性がなぜか忘れてしまう―
17:43
It's like the older women somehow forgot.
399
1048000
2000
ものごとを理解する特別な方法―
17:45
I rejoice that it's still in my body.
400
1050000
3000
それがまだ私の中には在るの！
17:48
Oh, I know when the coconut's about to fall.
401
1053000
4000
私は木の実が落ちる瞬間がわかるわ
17:52
I know we have pushed the Earth too far.
402
1057000
4000
私たちは地球を苦しめすぎたの
17:56
I know my father isn't coming back,
403
1061000
2000
父が戻ってこないことも分かってる―
17:58
and that no one's prepared for the fire.
404
1063000
3000
誰も不足の事態への準備ができてないの
18:01
I know that lipstick means more than show,
405
1066000
3000
口紅が見せものじゃないことも
18:04
and boys are super insecure,
406
1069000
2000
男子の自信が全く無くなったことも
18:06
and so-called terrorists are made, not born.
407
1071000
3000
俗に言うテロリストは生まれず造られることもね
18:09
I know that one kiss
408
1074000
2000
1つのキスが―
18:11
could take away all my decision-making ability.
409
1076000
3000
私の判断力をゼロにできることも知ってる
18:14
(Laughter)
410
1079000
2000
（笑）
18:16
And you know what? Sometimes it should.
411
1081000
3000
時にはそうあるべきだと思うの
18:19
This is not extreme. It's a girl thing,
412
1084000
2000
極端なことじゃないわ、女子力よ
18:21
what we would all be if the big door inside us flew open.
413
1086000
4000
私たちの内にあるドアが開かれれば みんながこうなるのよ
18:25
Don't tell me not to cry, to calm it down,
414
1090000
2000
“冷静になれ 熱くなるな ―
18:27
not to be so extreme, to be reasonable.
415
1092000
2000
泣くんじゃない” なんて言わせない
18:29
I am an emotional creature.
416
1094000
3000
私は感情的なイキモノよ！
18:32
It's how the earth got made, how the wind continues to pollinate.
417
1097000
3000
それは地球が創られた様に 風が命を運び続ける様に―
18:35
You don't tell the Atlantic Ocean to behave.
418
1100000
5000
荒れる海に向かって“わきまえなさい”なんて言わないでしょ？
18:40
I am an emotional creature.
419
1105000
2000
私は感情的なの！
18:42
Why would you want to shut me down or turn me off?
420
1107000
2000
どうして私を黙らせ 揉み消そうとするの？
18:44
I am your remaining memory.
421
1109000
3000
私はあなたの記憶の名残なの
18:47
I can take you back.
422
1112000
2000
あなたを連れ戻してあげれるのに
18:49
Nothing's been diluted.
423
1114000
2000
薄れてなんかないわ
18:51
Nothing's leaked out.
424
1116000
2000
隙間からこぼれ落ちてもいない
18:53
I love, hear me, I love
425
1118000
3000
聞いて！
18:56
that I can feel the feelings inside you,
426
1121000
5000
例え私の命を止められても 心に傷を負っても―
19:01
even if they stop my life,
427
1126000
3000
たとえその場から放り出されても
19:04
even if they break my heart,
428
1129000
2000
あなたの秘めた感情を感じれることが―
19:06
even if they take me off track,
429
1131000
3000
責任感を与えてくれる
19:09
they make me responsible.
430
1134000
2000
それが大好きなの
19:11
I am an emotional, I am an emotional,
431
1136000
4000
私は感情的で無償的―
19:15
incondotional, devotional creature.
432
1140000
3000
献身的なイキモノなの！
19:18
And I love, hear me,
433
1143000
3000
聞いて！
19:21
I love, love, love being a girl.
434
1146000
4000
女子って本当に最高よ！
19:25
Can you say it with me?
435
1150000
2000
みんなも言ってみて
19:27
I love, I love, love, love
436
1152000
4000
女子って本当に本当に―
19:31
being a girl!
437
1156000
2000
最高！！
19:33
Thank you very much.
438
1158000
2000
ありがとう

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.
