在利比亞，扎赫拉'蘭吉是 "憤怒日" 運動的一員，它們在推翻格達費的行動中出了一份力。但是.....接下來呢? 在利比亞的第一次大選中，他們使用了交叉式名單，以確保男人和女人有同樣的代表人次。然而，與前政府相同的威權和排他的政權勝出了。蘭吉提倡，現在利比亞所需要的是合作，不是競爭；是熱情，而不是怒火。

I have never, ever forgotten the words of my grandmother
0
1425
5566
我從來沒有忘記過我祖母說過的話
00:22
who died in her exile:
1
6991
2400
流亡路上去世的祖母
00:25
"Son, resist Gaddafi. Fight him.
2
9391
4865
" 我的孩子阿，阻止格達費，反抗他。
00:30
But don't you ever turn
3
14256
3207
但是你千萬不要
00:33
into a Gaddafi-like revolutionary."
4
17463
6123
轉變成像格達費那樣的革命。"
00:39
Almost two years have passed
5
23586
2154
自從利比亞的革命爆發以來
00:41
since the Libyan Revolution broke out,
6
25740
2816
已經過了將近兩年的時間，
00:44
inspired by the waves of mass mobilization
7
28556
4750
受到突尼西亞和埃及
00:49
in both the Tunisian and the Egyptian revolutions.
8
33306
4800
大規模動員反抗的鼓舞
00:54
I joined forces with many other Libyans inside and outside Libya
9
38106
5100
我和許多利比亞人在境內和境外都參與了武裝反抗，
00:59
to call for a day of rage
10
43206
2200
這是為了響應“憤怒日”，
01:01
and to initiate a revolution against the tyrannical regime of Gaddafi.
11
45406
6484
並且引爆了反抗格達費暴君政權的革命。
01:07
And there it was, a great revolution.
12
51890
4033
而這無疑的是一場偉大的革命。
01:11
Young Libyan women and men were at the forefront
13
55923
3700
利比亞的年輕人，不論男女，全部都站在前線，
01:15
calling for the fall of the regime,
14
59623
3184
因為受到了推翻政府的感召，
01:18
raising slogans of freedom, dignity, social justice.
15
62807
5216
並對於自由、尊嚴、社會公平的口號日漸增強。
01:23
They have shown an exemplary bravery
16
68023
3040
他們在對抗像格達費這樣的獨裁政權時，
01:26
in confronting the brutal dictatorship of Gaddafi.
17
71063
4067
展現出來的勇氣是全世界的典範。
01:31
They have shown a great sense of solidarity
18
75130
3515
他們表現出無比的團結，
01:34
from the far east to the far west to the south.
19
78645
3484
從東至西再延伸到南邊。
01:38
Eventually, after a period of six months of brutal war
20
82129
5916
終於，在經歷了六個月的殘酷戰爭後，
01:43
and a toll rate of almost 50,000 dead,
21
88045
5468
其中的死亡人數將近五萬人，
01:49
we managed to liberate our country and to topple the tyrant.
22
93513
5383
我們現在想要做的是解放我們的國家並且擊垮暴君。
01:54
(Applause)
23
98896
6249
(掌聲)
02:01
However, Gaddafi left behind a heavy burden,
24
105145
4434
然而，格達費留下的卻是一堆爛攤子，
02:05
a legacy of tyranny, corruption and seeds of diversions.
25
109579
7335
暴政的傳承、國家的腐敗和分裂的種子。
02:12
For four decades Gaddafi's tyrannical regime
26
116914
4301
因為格達費連續四十年的暴政，
02:17
destroyed the infrastructure as well as the culture and the moral fabric of Libyan society.
27
121215
8449
摧毀了利比亞的基礎建設、文化、道德規範和社會結構。
02:25
Aware of the devastation and the challenges,
28
129664
3700
相較於其他的女人，我很敏銳的意識到這些破壞，
02:29
I was keen among many other women to rebuild the Libyan civil society,
29
133364
6783
和修復民間社會時將面臨的挑戰，
02:36
calling for an inclusive and just transition
30
140147
3492
因為這牽扯到了國家的全面性，
02:39
to democracy and national reconciliation.
31
143639
3067
和轉型到民主體制時全國的共識。
02:42
Almost 200 organizations were established in Benghazi
32
146706
3817
有將近兩百個組織
02:46
during and immediately after the fall of Gaddafi --
33
150523
2899
在格達費垮台後迅速地建立了起來。
02:49
almost 300 in Tripoli.
34
153422
2901
而在的黎波里則有將近三百個。
02:52
After a period of 33 years in exile, I went back to Libya,
35
156323
5950
在經歷了33年的流亡生涯後，我回到了利比亞，
02:58
and with unique enthusiasm,
36
162273
2217
並抱持著一種獨特的熱情，
03:00
I started organizing workshops
37
164490
2482
我開始組織起一個工作室，
03:02
on capacity building, on human development of leadership skills.
38
166972
4832
旨在教人蓋建築物、教人如何培養領導技能。
03:07
With an amazing group of women,
39
171804
2535
在一群了不起的女人的合作下，
03:10
I co-founded the Libyan Women's Platform for Peace,
40
174339
3782
我共同創辦了利比亞女人和平聯盟
03:14
a movement of women, leaders, from different walks of life,
41
178121
4868
一場能讓來自不同領域的女人、領導者參與的運動，
03:18
to lobby for the sociopolitical empowerment of women
42
182989
4601
目的是去遊說並讓社會政治賦予婦女權力，
03:23
and to lobby for our right
43
187590
2150
並且為了基本的權利去遊說，
03:25
for equal participation in building democracy and peace.
44
189740
5117
讓婦女們都能擁有建立民主和和平的平等參與權。
03:30
I met a very difficult environment in the pre-elections,
45
194857
5716
我在選舉前碰到了很艱難的狀況，
03:36
an environment which was increasingly polarized,
46
200573
3984
一個愈發極端著的狀況，
03:40
an environment which was shaped by the selfish politics of dominance and exclusion.
47
204557
9468
一個因為擁有權力且排他的自私政客而造成的狀況。
03:49
I led an initiative by the Libyan Women's Platform for Peace
48
214025
4082
我帶領著初期的利比亞女人和平聯盟，
03:54
to lobby for a more inclusive electoral law,
49
218107
4134
去遊說成立一個包容性較高的選舉法，
03:58
a law that would give every citizen, no matter what your background,
50
222241
4465
一個讓每一位市民，不管你的成長背景為何，
04:02
the right to vote and run,
51
226706
3084
都擁有投票和競選權力的法，
04:05
and most importantly to stipulate on political parties
52
229790
4151
最重要的是要去規範我們的政黨，
04:09
the alternation of male and female candidates
53
233941
4715
讓男性和女性能輪流地去參選，
04:14
vertically and horizontally in their lists,
54
238656
3384
不管是不同層級或同一階層的參選名單，
04:17
creating the zipper list.
55
242040
2833
都能夠有交叉式的名單出現。
04:20
Eventually, our initiative was adopted and successful.
56
244873
6345
終於，我們的初始目標被採納且成功了。
04:27
Women won 17.5 percent of the National Congress
57
251218
5772
女人在國會中贏得了17.5%席位
04:32
in the first elections ever in 52 years.
58
256990
4265
這是52年以來的第一次選舉。
04:37
(Applause)
59
261255
6751
(掌聲)
04:43
However, bit by bit, the euphoria of the elections,
60
268006
6468
不管如何，一步一步地，選戰後的喜悅，
04:50
and of the revolution as a whole,
61
274474
3732
以及整個革命的行動，
04:54
was fading out --
62
278206
1584
已經一去不復返。
04:55
for every day we were waking up to the news of violence.
63
279790
4466
每一天，我們在充滿暴力的新聞中醒來。
05:00
One day we wake up to the news
64
284256
2234
某一天我們起床看到的
05:02
of the desecration of ancient mosques and Sufi tombs.
65
286490
3472
是古清真寺和蘇菲古墓被褻瀆的新聞。
05:05
On another day we wake up to the news
66
289962
1795
在另一天我們起床看到的
05:07
of the murder of the American ambassador and the attack on the consulate.
67
291757
4501
是美國大使在領事館被殺的新聞。
05:12
On another day we wake up to the news
68
296258
2082
又在某一天，我們因為
05:14
of the assassination of army officers.
69
298340
3517
軍官被刺殺的新聞而醒來。
05:17
And every day, every day we wake up with the rule of the militias
70
301857
5567
接下來的每一天，每一天，
我們都在軍人的統治之下起來，
我們都在軍人的統治之下起來，
05:23
and their continuous violations of human rights of prisoners
71
307424
4850
伴隨著他們無止盡地違反對犯人的基本人權，
05:28
and their disrespect of the rule of law.
72
312274
3932
還有他們對法規的不尊重。
05:32
Our society, shaped by a revolutionary mindset,
73
316206
3536
我們的社會，被革命的意志塑造，
05:35
became more polarized
74
319742
1961
變得越來越極端，
05:37
and has driven away from the ideals and the principles --
75
321703
3678
並且與理想和信念背道而馳，
05:41
freedom, dignity, social justice --
76
325381
3066
自由、尊嚴、社會公平
05:44
that we first held.
77
328447
1700
這些我們最初的信念。
05:46
Intolerance, exclusion and revenge
78
330147
4110
不寬容、排他和復仇
05:50
became the icons of the [aftermath] of the revolution.
79
334257
5032
變成了革命後的標誌。
05:55
I am here today not at all to inspire you
80
339289
4650
我在這裡的目的並不是要激勵你們
05:59
with our success story of the zipper list and the elections.
81
343939
4184
因為我們曾經成功的達成了交叉選舉名單和選舉權。
06:04
I'm rather here today to confess
82
348123
2201
相反的，我今天來這裡的目的是要懺悔，
06:06
that we as a nation took the wrong choice, made the wrong decision.
83
350324
6782
我們這個國家做出了錯誤的選擇，
採納了不正確的決策。
採納了不正確的決策。
06:13
We did not prioritize right.
84
357106
2823
我們沒有將權力的優先順序做排序。
06:15
For elections did not bring peace and stability and security in Libya.
85
359929
7394
因為選舉並沒有為利比亞
帶來和平、穩定和安全。
帶來和平、穩定和安全。
06:23
Did the zipper list and the alternation between female and male candidates
86
367323
5300
選舉名單的男女交叉和輪流
06:28
bring peace and national reconciliation?
87
372623
3033
有帶來和平和國家共識嗎?
06:31
No, it didn't.
88
375656
2417
不，它沒有。
06:33
What is it, then?
89
378073
1950
這到底是為什麼呢?
06:35
Why does our society continue to be polarized and dominated
90
380023
6183
為什麼我們的社會持續的極端化
06:42
with selfish politics of dominance and exclusion, by both men and women?
91
386206
7301
並且被有權且排他的自私政客統治?
而這些政客不分男女都有參與。
而這些政客不分男女都有參與。
06:49
Maybe what was missing was not the women only,
92
393507
4519
也許我們失去的不僅僅是女人這個個體，
06:53
but the feminine values of compassion, mercy and inclusion.
93
398026
7204
而是普遍的女性價值，同情心、慈悲心和包容心。
07:01
Our society needs national dialogue and consensus-building
94
405230
4373
我們的社會需要做一個國內的溝通並且建立起共識
07:05
more than it needed the elections,
95
409603
1800
這比選舉本身還要重要，
07:07
which only reinforced polarization and division.
96
411403
3985
選舉僅僅造就了極端化和分裂。
07:11
Our society needs the qualitative representation of the feminine
97
415388
6265
我們的社會需要有本質上的女性代表，
07:17
more than it needs the numerical, quantitative representation of the feminine.
98
421653
6017
這比數值上的女性代表還來的需要。
07:23
We need to stop acting as agents of rage and calling for days of rage.
99
427670
6697
我們必須停止憤怒的行為和停止響應憤怒日。
07:30
We need to start acting as agents of compassion and mercy.
100
434367
5600
我們必須開始表現出同情心和慈悲心。
07:35
We need to develop a feminine discourse
101
439967
3634
我們必須發展出女性的論述
07:39
that not only honors but also implements
102
443601
4133
這不是只為了推崇而是為了落實，
07:43
mercy instead of revenge, collaboration instead of competition,
103
447734
8364
以慈悲取代憤怒，合作取代競爭，
07:51
inclusion instead of exclusion.
104
456098
3219
包容取代排外。
07:55
These are the ideals that a war-torn Libya
105
459317
3107
這些理想是飽受戰爭摧殘的利比亞，
07:58
needs desperately in order to achieve peace.
106
462424
3475
為了達到和平的目的而迫切需要的。
08:01
For peace has an alchemy,
107
465899
2184
和平有個化學方程式，
08:03
and this alchemy is about the intertwining, the alternation
108
468083
7083
這個化學方程式是由
08:11
between the feminine and masculine perspectives.
109
475166
3500
男性和女性的觀念交織和替換所組成的。
08:14
That's the real zipper.
110
478666
2051
也就是說，真正的男女交叉共識。
08:16
And we need to establish that existentially
111
480717
3049
而且我們必須在社會政治運作之前
08:19
before we do so sociopolitically.
112
483766
2451
建立起男女交叉共識的存在。
08:22
According to a Quranic verse
113
486217
2899
根據可蘭經的一段經文，
08:25
"Salam" -- peace -- "is the word of the all-merciful God, raheem."
114
489116
6501
“Salam” -- 和平 -- “是所有神的共通話語，raheem”
08:31
In turn, the word "raheem," which is known in all Abrahamic traditions,
115
495617
5735
接著，raheem 這個字，在
亞伯拉罕習俗中是非常常見的，
亞伯拉罕習俗中是非常常見的，
08:37
has the same root in Arabic as the word "rahem" -- womb --
116
501352
4701
和阿拉伯的字 "rahem" -- 子宮 -- 有著同樣的字根，
08:41
symbolizing the maternal feminine encompassing all humanity
117
506053
5834
代表著母性的意念環繞著人性，
08:47
from which the male and the female,
118
511887
2116
不管你是男是女，
08:49
from which all tribes, all peoples, have emanated from.
119
514003
5533
不管你是哪個部落來的，不管世界各地來的各個人種。
08:55
And so just as the womb entirely envelopes the embryo, which grows within it,
120
519536
9011
就像子宮包覆著在其中發育的胎兒一樣，
09:04
the divine matrix of compassion nourishes the entire existence.
121
528547
7766
神聖的子宮和藹的滋養所有的存在。
09:12
Thus we are told that "My mercy encompasses all things."
122
536313
5367
因此，我們被教誨著 ‘ 我的慈悲環繞著世間萬物。 ’
09:17
Thus we are told that "My mercy takes precedence over my anger."
123
541680
6000
因此，我們了解“我的慈悲超越了我的憤怒”
09:23
May we all be granted a grace of mercy.
124
547680
4583
願我們都能被賜與慈悲的恩惠
09:28
(Applause)
125
552263
3820
(掌聲)
09:31
Thank you.
126
556083
2104
謝謝你們。
09:34
