我的故事从1992年7月4号开始，
00:17
the day my mother followed
her college sweetheart

1

那一天我的妈妈跟着她大学恋人，
00:20
to New York City from Egypt.

2059
从埃及到了纽约。
00:22
As fireworks exploded behind the skyline,

2810
烟花在他们身后的天际线上绽开，
00:25
my father looked
at my mother jokingly and said,
at my mother jokingly and said,

13042
3101
爸爸看着妈妈，开玩笑说道：
00:28
"Look, habibti,
5
16167
1309
“看，Habibti，
00:29
Americans are celebrating your arrival."
6
17500
2375
美国在庆祝你的到来。”
00:31
(Laughter)
7
19944
1680
（笑声）
00:33
Unfortunately, it didn't feel
much like a celebration
much like a celebration
8
21833
3476
不幸的是，实际的感觉并不像是庆祝。
00:37
when, growing up, my mother and I
would wander past Queens
would wander past Queens

在我长大的时候，
我的妈妈和我会经过皇后区
我的妈妈和我会经过皇后区
00:41
into New York City streets,
10
29167
1767
进入纽约城的街道。
00:42
and my mother with her hijab
and long flowy dresses
and long flowy dresses
11
30958
3226
我的妈妈戴着头巾，穿着长长的裙子，
00:46
would tighten her hand
around my small fingers
around my small fingers
12
34208
2935
用手紧紧地牵着我的手指，
00:49
as she stood up
against weathered comments like,
against weathered comments like,
13
37167
3226
面对着那些”老生常谈“般的
侮辱话语：
侮辱话语：
00:52
"Go back to where you came from,"
14
40417
2101
“从哪儿来回哪儿去”，
00:54
"Learn English,"
15
42542
1309
“去学英语”，
00:55
"Stupid immigrant."
16
43875
1809
“愚蠢的移民”。
00:57
These words were meant
to make us feel unsafe, insecure
to make us feel unsafe, insecure
17
45708
4476
这些话语，让我们在自己的社区
01:02
in our own neighborhoods, in our own skin.
18
50208
2334
深深地感到不安。
01:05
But it was these same streets
19
53500
1559
但是也正是这些同样的街道
01:07
that made me fall in love with New York.
20
55083
2643
让我爱上了纽约。
01:09
Queens is one of the most
diverse places in the world,
diverse places in the world,
21
57750
3268
皇后区是世界上最多元的地方之一，
01:13
with immigrant parents
holding stories that always start

22
61042
3476
在这里移民家长们的故事
往往这么开头，
往往这么开头，
01:16
with something between three
and 15 dollars in a pocket,
and 15 dollars in a pocket,
23
64542
3642
比如口袋里只有三到十五美元，
01:20
a voyage across a vast sea
24
68208
2435
比如一段长长的跨洋航行和
01:22
and a cash-only hustle
25
70667
1476
一份只有现金的零工，
01:24
sheltering families
in jam-packed, busted apartments.
in jam-packed, busted apartments.
26
72167
3625
可以让家庭住在拥挤不堪的公寓里。
01:28
And it was these same families
27
76417
2351
同样是这些家庭，
01:30
that worked so hard to make sure
that we had safe microcommunities --
that we had safe microcommunities --
28
78792
4267
他们非常努力地工作以确保我们——
移民的下一代可以有安全的小社区，
01:35
we, as immigrant children,
29
83083
1726
01:36
to feel affirmed and loved
in our identities.
in our identities.
30
84833
3143
可以对自己的身份确信并热爱。
01:40
But it was mostly the women.
31
88000
1893
但是这大部分是女性。
01:41
And these women are the reason why,
32
89917
1851
正是因为这些女性，
01:43
regardless of these statements
that my mom faced,
that my mom faced,
33
91792
3101
当我的妈妈面对那样的言论时，
01:46
she remained unapologetic.
34
94917
2559
她没有道歉。
01:49
And these women were
some of the most powerful women
some of the most powerful women
35
97500
2601
这些女性是我整个人生中
遇到的最有力量的女性之一。
01:52
I have ever met in my entire life.
36
100125
2643
01:54
I mean, they had networks for everything.
37
102792
3059
我的意思是，任何事情，
她们都有关系网。
她们都有关系网。
01:57
They had rotations
for who watched whose kids when,
for who watched whose kids when,
38
105875
2934
她们有轮换制，
要求谁什么时候照看谁的孩子，
要求谁什么时候照看谁的孩子，
02:00
for saving extra cash,
39
108833
1810
她们会存下额外的现金，
02:02
for throwing belly dance parties
40
110667
1934
会举办肚皮舞派对，
02:04
and memorizing Koran and learning English.
41
112625
2768
会记忆古兰经并学习英语。
02:07
And they would collect small gold tokens
42
115417
2767
她们也会收集小金币
02:10
to fundraise for the local mosque.
43
118208
2000
为当地清真寺募捐。
02:13
And it was these same women,
44
121000
1726
当我决定戴上我的头巾时，
02:14
when I decided to wear my hijab,
45
122750
2143
同样是这些女性，
02:16
who supported me through it.
46
124917
1892
一直支持着我。
02:18
And when I was bullied for being Muslim,
47
126833
2393
当我因穆斯林身份遭到欺凌时，
02:21
I always felt like I had an army
of unapologetic North African aunties
of unapologetic North African aunties
48
129250
5226
我一直感觉身后有一只军队在支持我，
一只由不低头的北非阿姨组成的军队。
02:26
who had my back.
49
134500
1250
02:28
And so every morning at 15,
50
136875
1643
所以15岁的每个早晨，
02:30
I would wake up
and stand in front of a mirror,
and stand in front of a mirror,
51
138542
2642
我会醒来站在镜子面前，
02:33
and wrap beautiful
bright silk around my head
bright silk around my head
52
141208
2768
把美丽光泽的丝巾绕在我的头上，
02:36
the way my mother does
and my grandmother did.
and my grandmother did.
53
144000
3018
就像我妈妈和祖母做的一样。
02:39
And one day that summer 2009,
54
147042
2601
2009年夏天的某一天
02:41
I stepped out into
the streets of New York City
the streets of New York City
55
149667
2267
我在纽约街上，
02:43
on my way to volunteer
at a domestic violence organization
at a domestic violence organization
56
151958
3393
准备作为志愿者参加
反家庭暴力组织的活动，
反家庭暴力组织的活动，
02:47
that a woman in
my neighborhood had started.
my neighborhood had started.
57
155375
2434
这个组织是由我邻居中的
一位女性开办的。
一位女性开办的。
02:49
And I remember at that moment
I felt a yank at the back of my head.
I felt a yank at the back of my head.
58
157833
4018
我记得那时我感觉后脑勺一阵猛拉。
02:53
Then someone pulled and grabbed me,
59
161875
1893
然后一个人又拉又拽，
02:55
trying to remove my hijab
from off of my head.
from off of my head.
60
163792
3017
想要把我的头巾拉扯下来。
02:58
I turned around
to a tall, broad-shouldered man,
to a tall, broad-shouldered man,
61
166833
3143
我转身，看到一个高高的宽肩男人，
03:02
pure hate in his eyes.
62
170000
1750
眼睛里全是仇恨。
03:04
I struggled and fought back,
63
172625
1726
我挣扎着反击，
03:06
and finally was able to get away,
64
174375
2434
终于逃脱。
03:08
hid myself in the bathroom
of that organization and cried and cried.
of that organization and cried and cried.
65
176833
3917
我躲在那个组织场所的卫生间里，
一直在哭。
一直在哭。
03:13
I kept thinking to myself,
66
181375
2143
我不停地问自己，
03:15
"Why does he hate me?
67
183542
2059
“为什么他恨我？
03:17
He doesn't even know me."
68
185625
1458
他甚至不认识我。”
03:20
Hate crimes against Muslims in the US
69
188083
2560
在美国，911之后，
03:22
increased by 1,600 percent post-9/11,
70
190667
4142
针对穆斯林的仇恨犯罪
上涨了1600%。
上涨了1600%。
03:26
and one in every four women in the US
71
194833
2643
并且在美国四分之一的女性
03:29
will suffer some form of gender violence.
72
197500
2684
会遭受性别暴力。
03:32
And it may not seem like it,
73
200208
1851
也许看上去不像那么回事，
03:34
but Islamophobia and anti-Muslim violence
74
202083
2393
但是伊斯兰恐惧症和反穆斯林暴力
03:36
is a form of gender violence,
75
204500
1893
是性别暴力的一种形式，
03:38
given the visibility
of Muslim women in our hijabs.
of Muslim women in our hijabs.
76
206417
3767
因为穆斯林女性穿戴头巾十分显眼。
03:42
And so I was not alone,
77
210208
1810
我不是个例，
03:44
and that horrified me.
78
212042
1809
这让我害怕。
03:45
It made me want to do something.
79
213875
1643
这让我想做一些事，
03:47
It made me want to go out there
and make sure that no one I loved,
and make sure that no one I loved,
80
215542
3392
这让我想做些事确保我所爱的人，
03:50
that no woman would have to feel
this insecure in her own skin.
this insecure in her own skin.
81
218958
3209
所有女性都能感到真正的安全。
03:55
So I started to think about
how the women in my own neighborhood
how the women in my own neighborhood
82
223667
3559
所以我开始想，自己街区的女性如何
03:59
were able to build
community for themselves,
community for themselves,
83
227250
2601
能够为她们自己建造社区，
04:01
and how they were able to use
the very little resources they had
the very little resources they had
84
229875
3601
以及她们如何能利用仅有的资源
04:05
to actually offer something.
85
233500
1393
做出实事。
04:06
And I began to think
about what I could potentially offer
about what I could potentially offer
86
234917
2684
然后我开始想我可以提供些什么
04:09
to build safety and power for women.
87
237625
2559
来为女性提供安全和力量。
04:12
And through this journey,
88
240208
1476
通过这次经历，
04:13
I learned a couple of things,
89
241708
1476
我学到了一些事情，
04:15
and this is what I want to share
with you today, some of these lessons.
with you today, some of these lessons.
90
243208
3726
而今天我想分享这些心得。
04:18
So lesson number one:
91
246958
1935
第一点：
04:20
start with what you know.
92
248917
2059
从你知道的部分开始。
04:23
At the time, I had been doing
Shotokan karate
Shotokan karate
93
251000
2643
当时，我记得
04:25
for as long as I could remember,
94
253667
1809
我在打松涛馆跆拳道，
04:27
and so I had a black belt.
95
255500
1976
并且有个黑带。
04:29
Yeah. And so, I thought -- surprise.
96
257500
2392
是吧，我觉得……
哈哈没想到吧
哈哈没想到吧
04:31
(Laughter)
97
259916
1018
（笑声）
04:32
I thought that maybe
I should go out into my neighborhood
I should go out into my neighborhood
98
260958
2726
我想也许我应该深入街区
04:35
and teach self-defense to young girls.
99
263708
1893
教年轻女性自卫技巧。
04:37
And so I actually went out
and knocked on doors,
and knocked on doors,
100
265625
2268
所以我的确走出去了，
挨家挨户地敲门，
挨家挨户地敲门，
04:39
spoke to community leaders,
to parents, to young women,
to parents, to young women,
101
267917
2601
和社区领导、家长、年轻女性对话，
04:42
and finally was able to secure
a free community center basement
a free community center basement
102
270542
4351
最终得到了一个免费的
社区中心地下室，
社区中心地下室，
04:46
and convince enough young women
that they should come to my class.
that they should come to my class.
103
274917
3142
并确保有足够多的年轻女性
到我的班级来。
到我的班级来。
04:50
And it actually all worked out,
104
278083
2476
这么做的确有用，
04:52
because when I pitched the idea,
105
280583
2226
因为当我推出这个想法的时候，
04:54
most of the responses were, like,
106
282833
1935
大多数的回应是，
04:56
"All right, cute,
107
284792
1434
“行，挺可爱，
04:58
this 5'1" hijabi girl who knows karate.
108
286250
3309
这个一米五、戴着头巾的女孩
知道怎么打跆拳道。
知道怎么打跆拳道。
05:01
How nice."
109
289583
1601
有意思。“
05:03
But in reality, I became the Queens,
New York version of Mr. Miyagi
New York version of Mr. Miyagi
110
291208
4851
但事实上，我在16岁，
成为了纽约皇后区的Miyagi先生，
05:08
at 16 years old,
111
296083
1643
05:09
and I started teaching 13 young women
in that community center basement
in that community center basement
112
297750
5018
并且开始在那个地下室教13个年轻女孩
05:14
self-defense.
113
302792
1309
自卫术。
05:16
And with every single self-defense move,
114
304125
2101
那个夏天八节课，
05:18
for eight sessions
over the course of that summer,
over the course of that summer,
115
306250
2393
通过防卫术练习的一招一式，
05:20
we began to understand
the power of our bodies,
the power of our bodies,
116
308667
2726
我们开始理解自己身体的力量，
05:23
and we began to share our experiences
117
311417
2601
开始分享关于自身
05:26
about our identities.
118
314042
1351
身份个性的经验。
05:27
And sometimes there were
shocking realizations,
shocking realizations,
119
315417
3517
有的时候有惊人的认识，
05:30
and other times there were tears,
120
318958
1685
有的时候有泪水，
05:32
but mostly it was laughs.
121
320667
1767
但大部分是欢笑。
05:34
And I ended that summer
with this incredible sisterhood,
with this incredible sisterhood,
122
322458
3393
那个夏天之后，
我收获了珍贵的姐妹情，
我收获了珍贵的姐妹情，
05:37
and I began to feel
much safer in my own skin.
much safer in my own skin.
123
325875
3184
并发自内心感觉更加安全。
05:41
And it was because of these women
that we just kept teaching.
that we just kept teaching.
124
329083
2893
正因为这些女性，
我们可以一直开班教授。
我们可以一直开班教授。
05:44
I never thought that I would continue,
but we just kept teaching.
but we just kept teaching.
125
332000
3101
我从没想过我可以继续，
但我们确实一直在教。
但我们确实一直在教。
05:47
And today, nine years, 17 cities,
126
335125
2601
今天，经历了9年、17个城市、
05:49
12 countries, 760 courses
127
337750
2726
12个国家、760堂课程
05:52
and thousands of women and girls later,
128
340500
3018
以及上千名女性，
05:55
I'm still teaching.
129
343542
1476
我依旧在教。
05:57
And what started as a self-defense course
130
345042
2267
而一开始社区中心地下室的
05:59
in the basement of a community center
131
347333
2185
自卫防身课程，
06:01
is now an international
grassroots organization
grassroots organization
132
349542
3142
现在已经成为国际性民间组织，
06:04
focused on building safety and power
for women around the world:
for women around the world:
133
352708
3851
聚焦于为全世界的女性
建构安全和力量：
建构安全和力量：
06:08
Malikah.
134
356583
1268
Malikah。
06:09
(Applause)
135
357875
6059
（掌声）
06:15
Now, for lesson number two:
136
363958
2601
现在，讲讲我学到的第二点：
06:18
start with who you know.
137
366583
1875
从你知道的人开始。
06:21
Oftentimes, it could be quite exciting,
138
369625
2393
经常，这可以很有意思，
06:24
especially if you're
an expert in something
an expert in something
139
372042
2059
尤其当你是某个领域的专家，
06:26
and you want to have impact,
140
374125
1393
想要发挥影响，
06:27
to swoop into a community
and think you have the magic recipe.
and think you have the magic recipe.
141
375542
3392
猛地进入一个社区，
觉得自己有魔法配方。
觉得自己有魔法配方。
06:30
But very early on I learned
142
378958
2393
但是我很早之前就知道，
06:33
that, as esteemed philosopher
Kendrick Lamar once said,
Kendrick Lamar once said,
143
381375
4226
备受推崇的“哲学家”
肯德拉克·拉马尔曾说过，
肯德拉克·拉马尔曾说过，
06:37
it's really important
to be humble and to sit down.
to be humble and to sit down.
144
385625
3542
谦卑并坐下来是十分重要的。
06:42
So, basically, at 15 years old,
145
390083
2893
因此，15的时候
06:45
the only community that I had
any business doing work with
any business doing work with
146
393000
3559
我基本有来往合作的团体只有
06:48
were the 14-year-old girls
in my neighborhood,
in my neighborhood,
147
396583
2518
附近14岁的女孩们，
06:51
and that's because
I was friends with them.
I was friends with them.
148
399125
2101
因为我和她们是朋友。
06:53
Other than that, I didn't know
what it meant to be a child
what it meant to be a child
149
401250
2768
除此之外，我并不了解在布鲁克林
06:56
of Bengali immigrants in Brooklyn
150
404042
2142
作为孟加拉移民孩子或在布朗克斯
06:58
or to be Senegalese in the Bronx.
151
406208
2018
作为塞内加尔移民的孩子
意味着什么。
意味着什么。
07:00
But I did know young women
who were connected to those communities,
who were connected to those communities,
152
408250
3476
但我认识和这些社区
有联系的年轻女性，
有联系的年轻女性，
07:03
and it was quite remarkable
how they already had
how they already had
153
411750
2893
而且了不起的是
她们已经和社区建立起
信任、意识和联系。
信任、意识和联系。
07:06
these layers of trust and awareness
and relationship with their communities.
and relationship with their communities.
154
414667
3809
07:10
So like my mother
and the women in her neighborhood,
and the women in her neighborhood,
155
418500
2726
所以就像我母亲和她邻近区域的女性那样，
07:13
they had these really strong
social networks,
social networks,
156
421250
2643
这些年轻女性拥有
十分强大的社交网络，
十分强大的社交网络，
07:15
and it was about providing capacity
157
423917
2142
并能提供能力，
07:18
and believing in other women's
definition of safety.
definition of safety.
158
426083
3393
相信其他女性对于安全的定义。
07:21
Even though I was
a self-defense instructor,
a self-defense instructor,
159
429500
2143
尽管我是一个自卫训练师，
07:23
I couldn't come into a community
160
431667
1851
我不能进入一个社区，
07:25
and define safety for any other woman
161
433542
2267
为不是自己社区的女性
07:27
who was not part of my own community.
162
435833
1959
定义安全。
07:31
And it was because,
as our network expanded,
as our network expanded,
163
439042
2517
因为，随着我们网络的扩张，
07:33
I learned that self-defense
is not just physical.
is not just physical.
164
441583
2726
我学到自卫不仅是身体上的。
07:36
It's actually really emotional work.
165
444333
2101
而是心理上的。
07:38
I mean, we would do
a 60-minute self-defense class,
a 60-minute self-defense class,
166
446458
3560
我的意思是，
我们会做60分钟的自卫课，
我们会做60分钟的自卫课，
07:42
and then we'd have 30 minutes reserved
for just talking and healing.
for just talking and healing.
167
450042
3476
然后我们会留30分钟单纯聊天治愈。
07:45
And in those 30 minutes,
168
453542
1351
在那30分钟里，
07:46
women would share what brought them
to the class to begin with
to the class to begin with
169
454917
3142
女性一开始会分享参加课程的原因，
07:50
but also various other
experiences with violence.
experiences with violence.
170
458083
3310
但是也会分享和暴力相关的其他经验。
07:53
And, as an example,
one time in one of those classes,
one time in one of those classes,
171
461417
2476
比如说，有一次在其中一堂课上，
07:55
one woman actually started
to talk about the fact
to talk about the fact
172
463917
2726
一位女性开始倾诉，
07:58
that she had been in a domestic violence
relationship for over 30 years,
relationship for over 30 years,
173
466667
4059
说30多年来
她一直处于一段家暴关系中，
她一直处于一段家暴关系中，
08:02
and it was her first time
being able to articulate that
being able to articulate that
174
470750
2726
这是她第一次有机会说出来，
08:05
because we had established
that safe space for her.
that safe space for her.
175
473500
3018
因为我们为她提供了一个安全的空间。
08:08
So it's powerful work,
176
476542
1309
这份工作充满力量，
08:09
but it only happens when we believe
in women's agency to define
in women's agency to define
177
477875
3976
但只有当我们相信女性有能力为自身
08:13
what safety and what power
looks like for themselves.
looks like for themselves.
178
481875
3000
定义安全和力量时，这才会发生。
08:17
All right, for lesson number three --
179
485875
2601
好，我学到的第三课——
08:20
and this was the hardest thing for me --
180
488500
1934
对我来说是最难的——
08:22
the most important thing about this work
is to start with the joy.
is to start with the joy.
181
490458
3643
对这项工作来说最重要的
就是快乐地开始。
就是快乐地开始。
08:26
When I started doing this work,
I was reacting to a hate-based attack,
I was reacting to a hate-based attack,
182
494125
4018
当我开始这个项目时，
我要回应充满仇恨的攻击，
我要回应充满仇恨的攻击，
08:30
so I was feeling insecure
and anxious and overwhelmed.
and anxious and overwhelmed.
183
498167
3226
所以我充满不安、焦虑、备受打击。
08:33
I was really afraid.
184
501417
1642
我当时十分害怕。
08:35
And it makes sense,
because if you take a step back,
because if you take a step back,
185
503083
2476
这是合理的，因为如果你退一步，
08:37
and I can imagine that a lot of women
in this room can probably relate to this,
in this room can probably relate to this,
186
505583
4018
我能想象这里很多女性
也许都能感同身受，
也许都能感同身受，
08:41
the feeling, an overwhelming
feeling of insecurity,
feeling of insecurity,
187
509625
2433
这种强烈的不安全感，
08:44
is oftentimes with us constantly.
188
512082
2394
经常伴随着我们。
08:46
I mean, imagine this:
189
514500
1308
我的意思是，想象一下：
08:47
walking home late at night,
hearing footsteps behind you.
hearing footsteps behind you.
190
515832
3335
在夜里走回家，听见身后响起脚步声。
08:52
You wonder if you should walk faster
or if you should slow down.
or if you should slow down.
191
520042
3641
你在想是要走得快一点还是慢下来。
08:55
You keep your keys in your hand
in case you need to use them.
in case you need to use them.
192
523707
3102
你紧紧攥着钥匙以备不时之需。
08:58
You say, "Text me when you get home.
I want to make sure you are safe."
I want to make sure you are safe."
193
526833
3935
你说，“到家时给我发个信息。
我想确保你安全到达。”
我想确保你安全到达。”
09:02
And we mean those words.
194
530792
1684
而我们对此十分认真。
09:04
We're afraid to put down our drinks.
195
532500
2184
我们害怕，不敢放下饮料。
09:06
We're afraid to speak
too much or too little in a meeting.
too much or too little in a meeting.
196
534708
3685
我们害怕在一个会议中
讲得太多或是太少。
讲得太多或是太少。
09:10
And imagine being woman and black
and trans and queer and Latinx
and trans and queer and Latinx
197
538417
4392
想象一个女性，或者黑人、
跨性别者、同性恋、拉丁裔
跨性别者、同性恋、拉丁裔
09:14
and undocumented and poor and immigrant,
198
542833
3310
或是未注册的、贫穷的移民，
09:18
and you could then only imagine
how overwhelming this work can be,
how overwhelming this work can be,
199
546167
3226
那么你才能明白这项工作多么沉重，
09:21
especially within the context
of personal safety.
of personal safety.
200
549417
2458
特别是关于个人安全的工作。
09:24
However, when I took a step to reflect
201
552833
2310
然而，当我思考
09:27
on what brought me
to this work to begin with,
to this work to begin with,
202
555167
2184
这项工作的初衷时，
09:29
I began to realize it was actually
the love that I had
the love that I had
203
557375
3268
我意识到一切始于
09:32
for women in my community.
204
560667
1559
我对我社区之中女性的爱。
09:34
It was the way I saw them gather,
205
562250
2476
她们的团结，
09:36
their ability to build for each other,
206
564750
1976
她们支撑彼此的能力
09:38
that inspired me to keep doing this work
207
566750
2268
激励我每天
09:41
day in and day out.
208
569042
1684
继续这项工作。
09:42
So whether I was in
a refugee camp in Jordan
a refugee camp in Jordan
209
570750
2976
所以不管是在约旦的难民营里，
09:45
or a community center in Dallas, Texas
210
573750
2434
还是在德克萨斯州
达拉斯的社区中心里，
达拉斯的社区中心里，
09:48
or a corporate office in Silicon Valley,
211
576208
2476
或是硅谷公司的办公室里，
09:50
women gathered in beautifully magical ways
212
578708
3060
女性汇聚在一起，充满美丽和魔力，
09:53
and they built together
and supported each other
and supported each other
213
581792
2267
互相支持，
09:56
in ways that shifted culture
214
584083
1643
以此转变文化，
09:57
to empower and build safety for women.
215
585750
2476
为女性赋权、构建安全。
10:00
And that is how the change happens.
216
588250
1976
这就是改变如何发生的，
10:02
It was through those relationships
we built together.
we built together.
217
590250
2684
通过我们共筑的关系发生。
10:04
That's why we don't
just teach self-defense,
just teach self-defense,
218
592958
2101
因此我们不只是教自卫术，
10:07
but we also throw dance parties
219
595083
1685
我们也会举办派对，
10:08
and host potlucks
220
596792
1309
组织聚餐，
10:10
and write love notes to each other
221
598125
2351
给彼此写爱心便签，
10:12
and sing songs together.
222
600500
1809
并且一起唱歌。
10:14
And it's really about the friendship,
223
602333
1810
这一切都关乎友谊，
10:16
and it's been so, so fun.
224
604167
1892
而且很有意思。
10:18
So the last thing I want to leave you with
225
606083
2060
所以最后我想分享一点，
10:20
is that the key takeaway for me in
teaching self-defense all of these years
teaching self-defense all of these years
226
608167
5642
是我在这几年教授防身术中
学到的关键一点，
学到的关键一点，
10:25
is that I actually don't want women,
as cool as the self-defense moves are,
as cool as the self-defense moves are,
227
613833
4060
那就是尽管防身术招式很酷，
但实际上
但实际上
10:29
to go out and use
these self-defense techniques.
these self-defense techniques.
228
617917
2767
我不想女性走出去
会用到这些自卫技巧。
会用到这些自卫技巧。
10:32
I don't want any woman to have to
de-escalate any violent situation.
de-escalate any violent situation.
229
620708
5851
我希望任何女性
都不用去化解任何暴力情况。
都不用去化解任何暴力情况。
10:38
But for that to happen,
230
626583
1351
但是如果要达到这一点，
10:39
the violence shouldn't happen,
231
627958
1685
暴力就不应该出现。
10:41
and for the violence not to happen,
232
629667
2309
如果想要不出现暴力，
10:44
the systems and the cultures
233
632000
1476
那么允许暴力发生的
10:45
that allow for this violence
to take place to begin with needs to stop.
to take place to begin with needs to stop.
234
633500
3601
系统和文化需要开始停止。
10:49
And for that to happen,
we need all hands on deck.
we need all hands on deck.
235
637125
3518
要达到这一点，
我们需要所有人的参与。
我们需要所有人的参与。
10:52
So I've given you my secret recipe,
236
640667
2851
所以，我已经告诉了你们
我的秘密配方，
我的秘密配方，
10:55
and now it's up to you.
237
643542
1767
现在这取决于你，
10:57
To start with what you know,
to start with who you know
to start with who you know
238
645333
3810
从你知道的事务开始，
从你知道的人开始，
从你知道的人开始，
11:01
and to start with joy. But just start.
239
649167
2684
带着乐趣开始。
但最重要的是要开始行动。
但最重要的是要开始行动。
11:03
Thank you so much.
240
651875

非常感谢。

Why you should listen
Rana Abdelhamid is committed to organizing communities around migrant, gender and racial justice. For ten years, Abdelhamid has served as the Executive Director of Malikah, a global grassroots movement committed to building safety and power for all women through self-defense, healing justice, community organizing and financial literacy. She founded Malikah at the age of 16 after being attacked by a stranger, who tried to remove the hijab from her head. Today, Abdelhamid and her volunteer team of women conduct healing spaces and have trained more than 7,000 women in 18 cities across the globe. For the past three years, Malikah has held the National Muslim Women's Summit at Harvard University, training 50 Muslim American women in leadership and community organizing.
Abdelhamid's organizing work has always been rooted in building solidarity across communities domestically and abroad. During the Arab Spring, Abdelhamid was involved in mobilizing diaspora communities in solidarity with grassroots activists in Egypt. After the "Muslim ban" was passed, she helped organize thousands of people across Boston for the 20,000-person Copley Square protest and spoke alongside Senator Elizabeth Warren, among others. After the murder of Nabra Hassanen, Abdelhamid and her team worked to mobilize tens of thousands of people across ten cities in under 24 hours for prayers and vigils in her remembrance.
In 2013, Abdelhamid started Hijabis of NY, an online platform that highlights the stories of hijabi women. In 2017, she also coedited and published Muslim Women's Stories, a collection of narratives from young Muslim women across the US. She is highly committed to the global human rights movement and is one of youngest serving board members of Amnesty International USA. Abdelhamid has a BA from Middlebury in International Politics and Economics and a master's degree in Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School, where her research was focused on policy interventions to mitigate the prevalence of domestic violence in Queens, NY and on refugee integration policy in the US.
In 2017, Abdelhamid was named one of the 17 women who "Rocked the Resistance" in 2017 and is frequently called "the Muslim Black Belt." She has been named a Truman Scholar, a Running Start Rising Political Star and has received both a NYC Council Proclamation and an International Youth Advocate award by the UNAUSA Foundation.
