when I saw that the birth分娩 of a girl女孩 child儿童
was celebrated著名 with sadness,
47
162558
5334
当女人们被教导耐心
是最大的美德时,
02:59
when women妇女 were told
to have patience忍耐 as their main主要 virtue美德.
48
167892
4767
我亲眼见到那些美丽的传统
和它的魔力在我眼前消逝,
03:04
Up until直到 I was 16,
49

1981
直到十六岁时,
03:06
I healed愈合 my sadness by crying哭了,

mostly大多 at nights
when everyone大家 would sleep睡觉

大多在别人都入眠时,
03:11

and these are only the reported报道 cases.
61
207007
2438
然而这些仅仅是被记录的人数。
03:41
A custom习惯 that kills杀死
did not make any sense to me,
62
209445
3738
我无法接受这样的习俗,
03:45
and I knew知道 I had to do
something about it this time.
63

I was going to do something,
anything, to stop it.

5874
我们意识到这是我以及我团队的错误。
07:31
There were two big reasons原因
why our campaign运动 had failed失败 big time.
130
439666
5155
我们的活动之所以有如此大的失败有两个主要原因。
07:36
One of those, the first reason原因,
131
444821
2250
第一个原因是,
07:39
is we were standing常设
against反对 core核心 values of people.
132
447071
2629
我们触犯了人们的核心价值观。
07:42
We were saying no to something
that was very important重要 to them,
133
450900
3512
我们向一些对人们很重要的事情说“不”,
07:46
challenging具有挑战性的 their code of honor荣誉,
134
454412
2347
挑战了他们的荣誉准则,
07:48
and hurting伤害 them deeply in the process处理.
135
456759
2267
并且在过程中极大的破坏了这些准则。
07:51
And number two, which哪一个 was very
important重要 for me to learn学习,
136
459026
2699
第二,对我来说学到了很重要,
07:53
and amazing惊人, and surprising奇怪
for me to learn学习,
137
461725
2205
很惊讶的一件事就是,
07:55
was that we were not including包含
the true真正 heroes英雄
138
463930
3181
我们的团队中并没有那些真正的英雄,
07:59
who should be fighting战斗 for themselves他们自己.
139
467111
2206
那些真正应该为他们自己斗争的英雄。
08:01
The women妇女 in the villages村庄 had no idea理念
we were fighting战斗 for them in the streets街道.
140
469317
3957
农村里的女人并不知道
我们在街上为他们争取权益。
08:05
Every一切 time I would go back,
141
473274
1437
每次我回去时,
08:06
I would find my cousins表兄弟 and friends朋友
with scarves围巾 on their faces面孔,
142
474711
3007
我发现我的表姐妹以及朋友们脸上都带着伤疤,
08:09
and I would ask, "What happened发生?"
143
477718
1794
我问她们发生了什么事?
08:11
And they'd他们会 be like,
"Our husbands丈夫 beat击败 us."
144
479512
2390
她们的答案都是一样的“我们的丈夫打了我们”。
08:13
But we are working加工 in the streets街道 for you!
145
481902
2879
但是我们一直在街上为你们抗议!
08:16
We are changing改变 the policies政策.
146
484781
1602
我们正在挑战规则。
08:18
How is that not impacting影响 their life?
147
486383
2972
为什么却对她们的生活没有一点影响?
08:21
So then we found发现 out something
which哪一个 was very amazing惊人 for us.
148
489355
4851
我们发现了这件对我们来说很惊讶的事。
08:26
The policies政策 of a country国家
149
494206
2650
一个国家的政策
08:28
do not necessarily一定 always affect影响
the tribal部落的 and rural乡村 communities社区.
150
496856
4611
不一定能影响到农村部落的群体。
08:33
It was devastating破坏性的 -- like, oh,
we can't actually其实 do something about this?
151
501467
4304
这真的很糟糕,我们真的无法做任何改变吗?
08:37
And we found发现 out there's a huge巨大 gap间隙
152
505771
3042
我们发现了官方的政策与现实之间
08:40
when it comes to official官方 policies政策
and the real真实 truth真相 on the ground地面.
153
508813
3836
存在着巨大的落差。
08:44
So this time, we were like,
we are going to do something different不同.
154
512649
3312
所以这一次,我们要做一些不一样的事情。
08:47
We are going to use strategy战略,
155
515961
1749
我们要运用策略,
08:49
and we are going to go back and apologize道歉.
156
517710
2989
我们要回去并且道歉。
08:52
Yes, apologize道歉.
157
520699
1651
是的,道歉。
08:54
We went back to the communities社区
158
522350
1513

08:55
and we said we are
very ashamed羞愧 of what we did.
159
523863
3248
我们说我们对于我们所做的事很惭愧。
08:59
We are here to apologize道歉, and in fact事实,
we are here to make it up to you.
160
527111

three of your main主要 cultures文化.
162

163

我们知道那是音乐,语言以及刺绣。
09:11
Nobody没有人 believed相信 us.
164
539799
1526
没人相信我们。
09:13
Nobody没有人 wanted to work with us.
165
541325
2738
没有人想要和我们一起行动。
09:16
It took a lot of convincing使人信服
and discussions讨论 with these communities社区
166
544063
3555
我们花了很多时间说服他们并与他们讨论,
09:19
until直到 they agreed同意 that we are going
to promote促进 their language语言
167
547618
3692
直到他们同意我们通过制作一本记载他们的故事、
09:23
by making制造 a booklet小册子 of their stories故事,
fables寓言 and old tales故事 in the tribe部落,
168
551310
4662
寓言以及部落的古老传说的小册子来推广他们的语言。
09:27
and we would promote促进 their music音乐
169
555972
2572
而且我们会通过制作
09:30
by making制造 a CD光盘 of the songs歌曲
from the tribe部落, and some drumbeatingdrumbeating.
170
558544
5511
一张部落歌曲CD来推广他们的音乐。
09:36
And the third第三, which哪一个 was my favorite喜爱,
171
564055
2161
第三,这是我最喜欢做的事,
09:38
was we would promote促进 their embroidery刺绣
by making制造 a center中央 in the village
172
566216
4011
我们通过在村里建一个中心来推广他们的刺绣文化。
09:42
where women妇女 would come every一切 day
to make embroidery刺绣.
173
570227
3135
妇女们可以每天来这里刺绣。
09:46
And so it began开始.
174
574064
1974
就这样开始了。
09:48
We worked工作 with one village,
and we started开始 our first center中央.
175
576038
4002
我们与一个村庄合作,我们开始了我们的第一个中心。
09:52
It was a beautiful美丽 day.
176
580770
1498
那天真的很美好。
09:54
We started开始 the center中央.
177
582268
1104
我们启动了这个中心。
09:55
Women妇女 were coming未来 to make embroidery刺绣,
178
583372
2069
妇女们来这里做刺绣,
09:57
and going through通过 a life-changing改变生活

1718
古老文化做斗争,
10:14
because in Islam伊斯兰教, in reality现实,
185
602902
1856
因为在伊斯兰教,实际上,
10:16
women妇女 are supposed应该 to be
shoulder to shoulder with men男人.
186
604758
3615
妇女应该与男人并肩。
10:20
Women妇女 have so much status状态
that we have not been hearing听力,
187
608373
3752
妇女拥有许多我们未曾听闻的地位,
10:24
that they have not been hearing听力,
188
612125
1813
她们也未曾听闻,
10:25
and we needed需要 to tell them
that they need to know
189
613938
3018
我们必须告诉她们,她们必须要知道
10:28
where their rights权利 are
and how to take them by themselves他们自己,
190
616956
2740
她们的权利在哪里,
以及如何维护自己的权利,
10:31
because they can do it and we can't.
191
619696
2325
因为只有她们才能帮助自己,我们无法代劳。
10:34
So this was the model模型 which哪一个 actually其实
came来了 out -- very amazing惊人.
192
622021
2972
所以这就是最终形成的模式,非常惊奇。
10:36
Through通过 embroidery刺绣
we were promoting促进 their traditions传统.
193
624993
2533

We went into the village.
We would mobilize动员 the community社区.
194
627526
2711

and how to say no to those customs海关
198

还有关于她们的权利,如何对习俗说不,
10:56
and how to stand as leaders领导者
for themselves他们自己 and the society社会.
199
644215
3671
如何做自己和社会的主宰。
10:59
After six months个月, we would connect
these women妇女 to loans贷款 and to markets市场
200
647886
4812
6个月之后,我们帮她们联系贷款和市场,
11:04
where they can become成为
local本地 entrepreneurs企业家 in their communities社区.
201
652698
3910
这样她们就成为当地社区的企业家。
11:08
We soon不久 called this project项目 SugharSughar.
202
656608
3257
我们很快称这个项目叫做“Sughar”。
11:11
SugharSughar is a local本地 word used
in many许多, many许多 languages语言 in Pakistan巴基斯坦.
203
659865
4040
Sughar是在巴基斯坦很多语言中使用的方言。
11:15
It means手段 skilled技能的 and confident信心 women妇女.
204
663905
3436
意思是熟练自信的妇女。
11:19
I truly believe, to create创建 women妇女 leaders领导者,
there's only one thing you have to do:
205
667341
5108
我真的相信,塑造女性领导者,你只要做一件事:
11:24
Just let them know that they have
what it takes to be a leader领导.
206
672449
4182
就是让她们知道她们拥有领导者的才能。
11:28
These women妇女 you see here,
207
676631
1499
你们看到的这些妇女,
11:30
they have strong强大 skills技能
and potential潜在 to be leaders领导者.
208
678130
4443
她们拥有熟练地技能以及潜能成为领导者。
11:34
All we had to do was remove去掉
the barriers障碍 that surrounded包围 them,
209
682573
3042
我们要做的就是移除她们身边的障碍,
11:37
and that's what we decided决定 to do.
210
685615
2539
那就是我们决定要做的。
11:40
But then while we were thinking思维
everything was going well,
211
688154
3289
但是当我们认为一切顺利地时候,
11:43
once一旦 again everything was fantastic奇妙,
212
691443
2600
再一次一切太顺利了,
11:46
we found发现 our next下一个 setback挫折:
213
694043
2067
我们发现了下一个困境:
11:48
A lot of men男人 started开始 seeing眼看
the visible可见 changes变化 in their wife妻子.
214
696110
3169
许多男人看到了他们妻子的巨大变化。
11:51
She's speaking请讲 more,
she's making制造 decisions决定 --
215
699279
2141
她更多地发言了,她做决策--
11:53
oh my gosh天哪, she's handling处理
everything in the house.
216
701420
2689
噢,天啊,她处理屋子里的一切。
11:56
They stopped停止 them
from coming未来 to the centers中心,
217
704109
4469
他们阻止她们来学习中心,
12:00
and this time, we were like,
okay, time for strategy战略 two.
218
708578
4044
这一次,我们还好。开始实行方法二。
12:04
We went to the fashion时尚
industry行业 in Pakistan巴基斯坦
219
712622
2088
我们去巴基斯坦的时尚业,
12:06
and decided决定 to do research研究
about what happens发生 there.
220
714710
3783
开始做调研,研究那里的变化。
12:10
Turns out the fashion时尚 industry行业 in Pakistan巴基斯坦
is very strong强大 and growing生长 day by day,
221
718493
4987
结果是巴基斯坦的时尚业非常强劲,逐日增长,
12:15
but there is less contribution贡献
from the tribal部落的 areas
222
723480
3566
但是却很少出现部落文化元素,
12:19
and to the tribal部落的 areas, especially特别 women妇女.
223
727046
3075
也没有为部落尤其是女性的时尚设计。
12:22
So we decided决定 to launch发射 our first ever
tribal部落的 women's女士的 very own拥有 fashion时尚 brand,
224
730121
4434
所以为我们决定发行我们的
第一个部落女性时尚品牌,
12:26
which哪一个 is now called Nomads游牧民族.
225
734555
2630
现在叫“Nomads".
12:30
And so women妇女 started开始 earning盈利 more,
226
738085
2182
妇女们开始赚更多钱,
12:32
they started开始 contributing贡献 more
financially经济 to the house,
227
740267
2806
从经济上为家庭贡献更多,
12:35
and men男人 had to think again
before saying no to them
228
743073
3231
男人们开始犹豫要不要阻止她们
12:38
when they were coming未来 to the centers中心.
229
746304
2059
来学习中心了。
12:43

13:05
so they can touch触摸 and work
on the other issues问题
237
773847
2323
方便他们能够接触并解决其他
13:08
that SugharSughar is not working加工 on,
238
776170
2225
Sughar 没有关注的议题,
13:10
which哪一个 would be an easy简单 place地点
for them to give trainings培训,
239
778395
3864
这是一个方便他们做培训的场合,
13:14
use it as a farmer农民 school学校,
even as a marketplace市井,
240
782259

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Khalida Brohi - Women’s rights activist and entrepreneur
In the tribal region where she was born, Khalida Brohi founded an organization to end honor killings and empower Pakistani women.

Why you should listen
When she was a teenager in the Balochistan region of Pakistan, Khalida Brohi witnessed the honor killing of her friend, who had married for love. Today, she's the founder and executive director of the Sughar Empowerment Society. The nonprofit, whose name means "skilled and confident woman", provides Pakistani tribal women with the education, skills, and income opportunities to empower them to take a leadership role in their households, their communities, and the world.

As she works to reduce endemic violence against women at substantial personal risk, she says, "Not doing this work would kill me. Doing this work would keep me alive.”
