Bivša američka državna tajnica Madeleine Albright govori otvoreno o politici i diplomaciji te o tome kako žene zaslužuju mjesto u vanjskoj politici. Daleko od toga da su "laki" problemi, ona kaže, ženski problemi su često vrlo teški, suočavajući se izravno s pitanjem života i smrti. Iskrena i smiješna seansa pitanja i odgovora s Pat Mitchell iz Paley centra.

00:17
Madeleine Albright: This is "Breaking the Glass Ceiling."

Madeleine Albright: Ovo je lomljenje staklenog stropa.
00:19
PM: Oh.

PM: Oh.
00:22
That was well chosen, I would say, for TEDWomen.

Ovo je vrlo dobro odabrano, rekla bih, za TEDWomen.
00:25
MA: Most of the time I spend when I get up in the morning
4
10000
2000
MA: Većinu vremena kada se ustajem ujutro
00:27
is trying to figure out what is going to happen.
5
12000
2000
provedem pokušavajući shvatiti što će se dogoditi.
00:29
And none of this pin stuff would have happened
6
14000
2000
I nijedna od ovih stvari s broševima se ne bi dogodila
00:31
if it hadn't been for Saddam Hussein.
7
16000
2000
da nije bilo Saddama Husseina.
00:33
I'll tell you what happened.
8
18000
2000
Reći ću vam što se dogodilo.
00:35
I went to the United Nations as an ambassador,
9
20000
3000
Krenula sam prema Ujedinjenim Narodima kao ambasadorica.
00:38
and it was after the Gulf War,
10
23000
2000
I to je bilo nakon Zaljevskog rata.
00:40
and I was an instructed ambassador.
11
25000
2000
A ja sam bila upućena ambasadorica.
00:42
And the cease-fire had been translated
12
27000
2000
Prekid vatre je bio preveden
00:44
into a series of sanctions resolutions,
13
29000
3000
u niz sankcijskih rezolucija
00:47
and my instructions
14
32000
2000
i moje upute
00:49
were to say perfectly terrible things about Saddam Hussein constantly,
15
34000
3000
su bile neprestano govoriti stvarno užasne stvari o Saddamu Husseinu,
00:52
which he deserved -- he had invaded another country.
16
37000
3000
što je on i zaslužio -- on je napao drugu zemlju.
00:55
And so all of a sudden, a poem appeared in the papers in Baghdad
17
40000
3000
I odjednom, pjesma se pojavila u novinama u Baghdadu
00:58
comparing me to many things,
18
43000
2000
uspoređujući me s mnogim stvarima,
01:00
but among them an "unparalleled serpent."
19
45000
3000
ali između ostaloga i s gujom.
01:03
And so I happened to have a snake pin.
20
48000
2000
A ja sam imala broš s likom zmije.
01:05
So I wore it when we talked about Iraq.
21
50000
2000
I nosila sam je kada smo pričali o Iraku.
01:07
(Laughter)
22
52000
2000
(Smijeh)
01:09
And when I went out to meet the press,
23
54000
2000
I kada sam izašla na susret s novinarima,
01:11
they zeroed in, said, "Why are you wearing that snake pin?"
24
56000
2000
odmjerili su me rekavši, "Zašto nosite taj broš s likom zmije?"
01:13
I said, "Because Saddam Hussein compared me to an unparalleled serpent."
25
58000
3000
Odogovorila sam, "Zato što me Saddam Hussein usporedio s gujom".
01:16
And then I thought, well this is fun.
26
61000
2000
Tada sam pomislila kako je ovo zabavno.
01:18
So I went out and I bought a lot of pins
27
63000
3000
I izašla sam i kupila mnogo broševa
01:21
that would, in fact, reflect
28
66000
2000
koji bi zapravo pokazivali
01:23
what I thought we were going to do on any given day.
29
68000
2000
što sam mislila da ćemo raditi taj dan.
01:25
So that's how it all started.
30
70000
2000
I tako je sve to počelo.
01:27
PM: So how large is the collection?
31
72000
2000
PM: I koliko je kolekcija sada velika?
01:29
MA: Pretty big.
32
74000
2000
MA: Prilično velika.
01:31
It's now traveling.
33
76000
2000
Sada putuje.
01:33
At the moment it's in Indianapolis,
34
78000
2000
U ovom trenutku je u Indianapolisu,
01:35
but it was at the Smithsonian.
35
80000
2000
ali prije je bila u Smithsonianu.
01:37
And it goes with a book that says, "Read My Pins."
36
82000
3000
I u kompletu je s knjigom koja se zove, "Čitaj s mojih broševa".
01:40
(Laughter)
37
85000
2000
(Smijeh)
01:42
PM: So is this a good idea.
38
87000
3000
PM: Je li to dobra ideja?
01:45
I remember when you were the first woman
39
90000
2000
Sjećam se kada ste bili prva žena
01:47
as Secretary of State,
40
92000
2000
kao državna tajnica
01:49
and there was a lot of conversation always
41
94000
2000
i bilo je uvijek dosta razgovora
01:51
about what you were wearing,
42
96000
2000
o tome što ste nosili,
01:53
how you looked --
43
98000
2000
kako ste izgledali --
01:55
the thing that happens to a lot of women,
44
100000
2000
stvari koje se događaju mnogim ženama,
01:57
especially if they're the first in a position.
45
102000
3000
naročito ako su prve na nekom položaju.
02:00
So how do you feel about that -- the whole --
46
105000
3000
Što mislite o svemu tome?
02:03
MA: Well, it's pretty irritating actually
47
108000
2000
MA: Pa, to je zapravo prilično iritantno
02:05
because nobody ever describes what a man is wearing.
48
110000
3000
zato što nitko nikada ne govori o tome što muškarac nosi.
02:08
But people did pay attention to what clothes I had.
49
113000
3000
Ali ljudi su obraćali pozornost na odjeću koju sam ja imala.
02:11
What was interesting was that,
50
116000
2000
Što je bilo zanimljivo je to da,
02:13
before I went up to New York as U.N. ambassador,
51
118000
2000
prije nego sam otišla u New York kao UN-ova ambasadorica,
02:15
I talked to Jeane Kirkpatrick, who'd been ambassador before me,
52
120000
3000
pričala sam s Jeane Kirkpatrick koja je bila ambasadorica prije mene
02:18
and she said, "You've got to get rid of your professor clothes.
53
123000
3000
i ona je rekla, "Moraš se riješiti svoje profesorske odjeće.
02:21
Go out and look like a diplomat."
54
126000
2000
Idi van i izgledaj kao diplomatkinja".
02:23
So that did give me a lot of opportunities to go shopping.
55
128000
3000
To mi je dalo dosta prilika da idem u kupovinu.
02:26
But still, there were all kinds of questions
56
131000
3000
Ali ipak, bilo je svih vrsta pitanja
02:29
about -- "did you wear a hat?" "How short was your skirt?"
57
134000
3000
kao, jesi li nosila šešir? Koliko je kratka tvoja suknja?
02:32
And one of the things --
58
137000
2000
I jedna od stvari --
02:34
if you remember Condoleezza Rice was at some event and she wore boots,
59
139000
3000
ako se sjećate kada je Condoleezza Rice jednom prigodom nosila čizme,
02:37
and she got criticized over that.
60
142000
2000
bila je kritizirana zbog toga.
02:39
And no guy ever gets criticized. But that's the least of it.
61
144000
3000
Nijedan muškarac nije nikada kritiziran. Ali to je najmanji dio toga.
02:42
PM: It is, for all of us, men and women,
62
147000
3000
PM: To je, za sve nas, muškarce i žene,
02:45
finding our ways of defining our roles,
63
150000
3000
traženje načina na koji definiramo naše uloge,
02:48
and doing them in ways that make a difference in the world
64
153000
3000
radeći s njima na način da učinimo razliku u svijetu
02:51
and shape the future.
65
156000
2000
i oblikujemo budućnost.
02:53
How did you handle that balance
66
158000
3000
Kako ste baratali tom ravnotežom
02:56
between being the tough diplomatic
67
161000
3000
između žilave diplomatkinje
02:59
and strong voice of this country
68
164000
3000
i snažnog glasa ove zemlje
03:02
to the rest of the world
69
167000
2000
ostatku svijeta
03:04
and also how you felt about yourself
70
169000
2000
i kako ste se osjećali kao
03:06
as a mother, a grandmother, nurturing ...
71
171000
3000
kao majka, kao baka.
03:09
and so how did you handle that?
72
174000
2000
I kako ste rukovali time?
03:11
MA: Well the interesting part was I was asked
73
176000
2000
MA: Bilo je zanimljivo kada su me pitali
03:13
what it was like to be the first woman Secretary of State
74
178000
2000
kako je biti prva ženska državna tajnica
03:15
a few minutes after I'd been named.
75
180000
2000
nekoliko minuta nakon što su me imenovali.
03:17
And I said, "Well I've been a woman for 60 years,
76
182000
2000
Ja sam odgovorila, "Pa, bila sam žena 60 godina,
03:19
but I've only been Secretary of State for a few minutes."
77
184000
3000
ali državna tajnica sam tek nekoliko minuta".
03:22
So it evolved.
78
187000
2000
Tako da je evoluiralo.
03:24
(Laughter)
79
189000
2000
(Smijeh)
03:26
But basically I love being a woman.
80
191000
2000
Ali u osnovi, ja volim biti žena.
03:28
And so what happened --
81
193000
2000
I što se dogodilo --
03:30
and I think there will probably be some people in the audience
82
195000
2000
mislim kako će biti nekoliko ljudi u publici
03:32
that will identify with this --
83
197000
2000
koji će se prepoznati u ovome --
03:34
I went to my first meeting, first at the U.N.,
84
199000
3000
otišla sam na svoj prvi sastanak, prvo u UN.
03:37
and that's when this all started,
85
202000
2000
I tada je sve to počelo,
03:39
because that is a very male organization.
86
204000
3000
zato što je to organizacija puna muškaraca.
03:42
And I'm sitting there -- there are 15 members of the Security Council --
87
207000
3000
I ja sam sjedila tamo -- bilo je 15 članova Odbora za sigurnost --
03:45
so 14 men sat there staring at me,
88
210000
4000
i tako je 14 muškaraca sjedilo buljeći u mene
03:49
and I thought -- well you know how we all are.
89
214000
2000
i ja sam mislila -- znate kakvi smo svi mi.
03:51
You want to get the feeling of the room,
90
216000
2000
Želite se malo priviknuti na prostoriju
03:53
and "do people like me?"
91
218000
2000
i da vas ljudi zavole
03:55
and "will I really say something intelligent?"
92
220000
2000
i želite reći nešto inteligentno.
03:57
And all of a sudden I thought, "Well, wait a minute.
93
222000
3000
I samo odjednom sam se sjetila, pa čekaj malo.
04:00
I am sitting behind a sign that says 'The United States,'
94
225000
3000
Ja sjedima iza znaka na kojem piše "Sjedinjene Države".
04:03
and if I don't speak today
95
228000
2000
I ako ne progovorim danas,
04:05
then the voice of the United States will not be heard,"
96
230000
3000
tada se glas Sjedinjenih Država neće čuti.
04:08
and it was the first time that I had that feeling
97
233000
2000
I to je bilo prvi put da sam imala taj osjećaj
04:10
that I had to step out of myself
98
235000
2000
kako se trebam odvojiti od svoje normalne sebe
04:12
in my normal, reluctant female mode
99
237000
4000
u svom normalnom, bojažljivom ženskom stilu
04:16
and decide that I had to speak on behalf of our country.
100
241000
3000
i da trebam odlučiti da ću govoriti u ime naše zemlje.
04:19
And so that happened more at various times,
101
244000
3000
I to se dogodilo puno puta,
04:22
but I really think that there was a great advantage in many ways
102
247000
4000
ali mislim kako je bila velika prednost u puno stvari
04:26
to being a woman.
103
251000
2000
u tome što sam žena.
04:28
I think we are a lot better
104
253000
2000
Mislim kako smo mi bolje
04:30
at personal relationships,
105
255000
2000
kada se radi o osobnim vezama
04:32
and then have the capability obviously
106
257000
2000
i da očito imamo mogućnost
04:34
of telling it like it is when it's necessary.
107
259000
3000
govoriti onako kako treba kada je to potrebno.
04:37
But I have to tell you, I have my youngest granddaughter,
108
262000
2000
Ali moram vam reći, moja najmlađa unuka,
04:39
when she turned seven last year,
109
264000
2000
kada je prošle godine navršila sedam godina,
04:41
said to her mother, my daughter,
110
266000
2000
rekla je svojoj majci, mojoj kćeri,
04:43
"So what's the big deal about Grandma Maddie being Secretary of State?
111
268000
3000
"Što je tako bitno u tome da je baka Maddie Državna tajnica?"
04:46
Only girls are Secretary of State."
112
271000
2000
Samo žene su Državne tajnice".
04:48
(Laughter)
113
273000
2000
(Smijeh)
04:50
(Applause)
114
275000
9000
(Pljesak)
04:59
PM: Because in her lifetime -- MA: That would be so.
115
284000
3000
PM: Zato što u njezinom životu -- (MA: To bi bilo tako.)
05:03
PM: What a change that is.
116
288000
2000
PM: Koja je to promjena.
05:05
As you travel now all over the world,
117
290000
3000
Sada kada putujete diljem svijeta,
05:08
which you do frequently,
118
293000
2000
i to redovito,
05:10
how do you assess
119
295000
2000
kako procjenjujete
05:12
this global narrative around the story of women and girls?
120
297000
3000
globalnu temu oko priče o ženama i djevojkama?
05:15
Where are we?
121
300000
2000
Gdje smo mi?
05:17
MA: I think we're slowly changing,
122
302000
2000
MA: Mislim kako se polako mijenjamo,
05:19
but obviously there are whole pockets
123
304000
2000
ali očito postoje velika područja
05:21
in countries where nothing is different.
124
306000
2000
u zemljama gdje se ništa nije promijenilo.
05:23
And therefore it means that we have to remember
125
308000
3000
I stoga to znači kako to moramo zapamtiti
05:26
that, while many of us have had huge opportunities --
126
311000
3000
dok su mnoge od nas imale ogromne prilike --
05:29
and Pat, you have been a real leader in your field --
127
314000
3000
i Pat, ti si bila pravi vođa u svom području --
05:32
is that there are a lot of women
128
317000
2000
i postoji puno žena
05:34
that are not capable
129
319000
2000
koje nisu sposobne
05:36
of worrying and taking care of themselves
130
321000
2000
brinuti o sebi
05:38
and understanding that women have to help other women.
131
323000
3000
i shvatiti kako žene moraju pomagati drugim ženama.
05:41
And so what I have felt --
132
326000
2000
I ono što sam osjećala --
05:43
and I have looked at this
133
328000
2000
i gledala sam na to
05:45
from a national security issue --
134
330000
2000
iz perspektive nacionalne sigurnosti --
05:47
when I was Secretary of State, I decided
135
332000
3000
kada sam bila državna tajnica, odlučila sam
05:50
that women's issues had to be central to American foreign policy,
136
335000
3000
kako problemi žena moraju biti središte američke vanjske politike,
05:53
not just because I'm a feminist,
137
338000
2000
ne samo zato jer sam feministkinja,
05:55
but because I believe that societies are better off
138
340000
4000
već zato jer vjerujem kako bi društva bila bolja
05:59
when women are politically and economically empowered,
139
344000
3000
kada bi žene bile politički i ekonomski osnažene,
06:02
that values are passed down,
140
347000
2000
te vrijednosti se zatim prenose,
06:04
the health situation is better,
141
349000
3000
stanje zdravstva bi bilo bolje,
06:07
education is better,
142
352000
2000
obrazovanje bi bilo bolje,
06:09
there is greater economic prosperity.
143
354000
2000
ekonomski prosperitet bi bio veći.
06:11
So I think that it behooves us --
144
356000
3000
Mislim kako nam to dolikuje --
06:14
those of us that live in various countries
145
359000
3000
i one od nas koje žive u različitim državama
06:17
where we do have economic and political voice --
146
362000
3000
gdje imamo ekonomski i politički glas --
06:20
that we need to help other women.
147
365000
2000
mislim kako moramo pomoći drugim ženama.
06:22
And I really dedicated myself to that,
148
367000
2000
Ja sam se tome stvarno posvetila
06:24
both at the U.N. and then as Secretary of State.
149
369000
3000
i kod UN-a i zatim kao državna tajnica.
06:27
PM: And did you get pushback
150
372000
2000
PM: Jesu li vas odguravali
06:29
from making that a central tenant of foreign policy?
151
374000
3000
kada ste željeli to postaviti kao centralni dio vanjske politike?
06:32
MA: From some people.
152
377000
2000
MA: Neki ljudi.
06:34
I think that they thought that it was a soft issue.
153
379000
3000
Mislim kako su oni mislili kako je to lagan problem.
06:37
The bottom line that I decided
154
382000
2000
Na kraju sam zaključila
06:39
was actually women's issues are the hardest issues,
155
384000
3000
da su ženski problemi najteži,
06:42
because they are the ones that have to do with life and death
156
387000
3000
jer su one te koje imaju veze sa životom i smrću
06:45
in so many aspects,
157
390000
2000
u toliko mnogo pogleda --
06:47
and because, as I said,
158
392000
2000
i zbog toga, kao što sam rekla,
06:49
it is really central to the way that we think about things.
159
394000
3000
to je zbilja bitno u načinu na koji razmišljamo o stvarima.
06:52
Now for instance,
160
397000
2000
Sada, na primjer,
06:54
some of the wars that took place
161
399000
2000
u nekim ratovima koji su trajali
06:56
when I was in office,
162
401000
2000
dok sam ja bila u uredu,
06:58
a lot of them, the women were the main victims of it.
163
403000
3000
većinom su žene bile glavne žrtve.
07:01
For instance, when I started,
164
406000
2000
Na primjer, kada sam počela,
07:03
there were wars in the Balkans.
165
408000
3000
trajao je rat na Balkanu.
07:06
The women in Bosnia were being raped.
166
411000
3000
Žene u Bosni su bile silovane.
07:09
We then managed to set up a war crimes tribunal
167
414000
3000
Uspjeli smo osnovati tribunal za ratne zločine
07:12
to deal specifically with those kinds of issues.
168
417000
3000
koji će se baviti točno tim vrstama problema.
07:15
And by the way, one of the things that I did at that stage
169
420000
3000
Uostalom, jedna od stvari koje sam napravila u toj fazi
07:18
was, I had just arrived at the U.N.,
170
423000
3000
je, kada sam došla u UN
07:21
and when I was there, there were 183 countries in the U.N.
171
426000
3000
i kada sam bila tamo, 183 zemlje su bile članice UN-a.
07:24
Now there are 192.
172
429000
2000
Sada ih je 192.
07:26
But it was one of the first times that I didn't have to cook lunch myself.
173
431000
3000
Ali to je bio jedan od prvih puta kada si nisam sama trebala kuhati ručak.
07:29
So I said to my assistant,
174
434000
2000
Stoga sam rekla svojoj asistentici,
07:31
"Invite the other women permanent representatives."
175
436000
3000
"Pozovi i ostale žene trajne predstavnice".
07:34
And I thought when I'd get to my apartment
176
439000
2000
Mislila sam kada dođem u svoj stan
07:36
that there'd be a lot of women there.
177
441000
2000
kako će tamo biti puno žena.
07:38
I get there, and there are six other women, out of 183.
178
443000
3000
Kada sam došla, tamo je bilo šest drugih žena, od njih 183.
07:41
So the countries that had women representatives
179
446000
3000
Zemlje koje su imale ženske predstavnice
07:44
were Canada, Kazakhstan, Philippines,
180
449000
2000
su bile Kanada, Kazakhstan, Filipini,
07:46
Trinidad Tobago, Jamaica,
181
451000
2000
Trinidad Tobago, Jamajka,
07:48
Lichtenstein and me.
182
453000
3000
Lihtenštajn i ja.
07:51
So being an American, I decided to set up a caucus.
183
456000
3000
Zato što sam Amerikanka, odlučila sam sazvati sastanak.
07:54
(Laughter)
184
459000
2000
(Smijeh)
07:56
And so we set it up,
185
461000
2000
I organizirale smo ga
07:58
and we called ourselves the G7.
186
463000
2000
i nazvale smo se G7.
08:00
(Laughter)
187
465000
2000
(Smijeh)
08:02
PM: Is that "Girl 7?" MA: Girl 7.
188
467000
2000
PM: Je li to cura sedam? (MA: Cura sedam.)
08:04
And we lobbied
189
469000
2000
MA: I lobirale smo
08:06
on behalf of women's issues.
190
471000
2000
u korist ženskih prava.
08:08
So we managed to get two women judges
191
473000
3000
Uspjele smo dovesti dvije ženske sutkinje
08:11
on this war crimes tribunal.
192
476000
2000
na taj tribunal za ratne zločine.
08:13
And then what happened
193
478000
2000
I što se tada dogodilo
08:15
was that they were able to declare that rape was a weapon of war,
194
480000
3000
jest to da su bile sposobne izjaviti kako je silovanje ratno oružje,
08:18
that it was against humanity.
195
483000
2000
kako je to protiv ljudskosti.
08:20
(Applause)
196
485000
5000
(Pljesak)
08:25
PM: So when you look around the world
197
490000
2000
PM: Dakle, kada pogledate širom svijeta
08:27
and you see that, in many cases --
198
492000
2000
i vidite kako u mnogo slučajeva --
08:29
certainly in the Western world --
199
494000
2000
naročito u zapadnom svijetu --
08:31
women are evolving into more leadership positions,
200
496000
3000
žene evoluiraju na više vodećih pozicija
08:34
and even other places
201
499000
2000
i čak na drugim mjestima
08:36
some barriers are being brought down,
202
501000
3000
neke barijere su srušene,
08:39
but there's still so much violence,
203
504000
3000
ali još uvijek postoji toliko mnogo nasilja,
08:42
still so many problems,
204
507000
2000
još uvijek toliko mnogo problema,
08:44
and yet we hear there are more women
205
509000
2000
a ipak čujemo kako ima sve više žena
08:46
at the negotiating tables.
206
511000
2000
za pregovaračkim stolovima.
08:48
Now you were at those negotiating tables
207
513000
2000
Tada ste se nalazili za tim pregovaračkim stolovima
08:50
when they weren't, when there was maybe you --
208
515000
3000
kada drugih nije bilo, kada ste možda bili vi --
08:53
one voice, maybe one or two others.
209
518000
2000
jedan glas, možda jedan ili dva druga.
08:55
Do you believe, and can you tell us why,
210
520000
3000
Vjerujete li i možete li nam reći zašto,
08:58
there is going to be a significant shift
211
523000
3000
će doći do značajnog preokreta
09:01
in things like violence
212
526000
2000
u stvarima poput nasilja
09:03
and peace and conflict and resolution
213
528000
3000
i mira i sukoba i rješenja
09:06
on a sustainable basis?
214
531000
2000
na održivoj bazi?
09:08
MA: Well I do think, when there are more women,
215
533000
3000
MA: Pa ja mislim, kada ima više žena,
09:11
that the tone of the conversation changes,
216
536000
4000
ton samog razogovora se mijenja
09:15
and also the goals of the conversation change.
217
540000
3000
i ciljevi razgovora se mijenjaju.
09:18
But it doesn't mean that the whole world
218
543000
2000
Ali to ne znači kako bi cijeli svijet
09:20
would be a lot better
219
545000
2000
bio puno bolji
09:22
if it were totally run by women.
220
547000
2000
kada bi ga u potpunosti vodile žene.
09:24
If you think that, you've forgotten high school.
221
549000
3000
Ako mislite to, zaboravili ste na srednju školu.
09:27
(Laughter)
222
552000
3000
(Smijeh)
09:30
But the bottom line
223
555000
2000
Zaključak
09:32
is that there is a way,
224
557000
2000
je da postoji način,
09:34
when there are more women at the table,
225
559000
3000
kada je više žena za stolom,
09:37
that there's an attempt
226
562000
2000
postoji težnja
09:39
to develop some understanding.
227
564000
2000
da se razvije neko razumijevanje.
09:41
So for instance, what I did when I went to Burundi,
228
566000
3000
Dakle, na primjer, ono što sam učinila kada sam otišla u Burundi,
09:44
we'd got Tutsi and Hutu women together
229
569000
3000
sazvali bi Tutsi i Hutu žene zajedno
09:47
to talk about some of the problems
230
572000
2000
kako bi popričali o nekim od problema
09:49
that had taken place in Rwanda.
231
574000
2000
koji su se dogodili u Ruandi.
09:51
And so I think the capability of women
232
576000
3000
Stoga mislim kako je sposobnost žena
09:54
to put themselves --
233
579000
2000
da se stave --
09:56
I think we're better about putting ourselves into the other guy's shoes
234
581000
3000
mislim kako smo bolje u pokušaju da stavimo sebe u položaj drugih
09:59
and having more empathy.
235
584000
2000
i da imamo više suosjećanja.
10:01
I think it helps in terms of the support
236
586000
3000
Mislim kako to pomaže u terminima podrške
10:04
if there are other women in the room.
237
589000
2000
ukoliko ima drugih žena u prostoriji.
10:06
When I was Secretary of State,
238
591000
2000
Kada sam bila Državna tajnica,
10:08
there were only 13 other women foreign ministers.
239
593000
3000
bilo je samo 13 drugih žena ministrica vanjske politike.
10:11
And so it was nice when one of them would show up.
240
596000
3000
I stoga je bilo lijepo kada bi se jedna od njih pojavila.
10:14
For instance, she is now the president of Finland,
241
599000
3000
Na primjer, ona je sada predsjednica FInske,
10:17
but Tarja Halonen was the foreign minister of Finland
242
602000
3000
ali Tarja Halonen je bila ministrica vanjskih poslova Finske
10:20
and, at a certain stage, head of the European Union.
243
605000
3000
i na određenoj razini, vođa Europske Unije.
10:23
And it was really terrific.
244
608000
2000
I to je bilo doista odlično.
10:25
Because one of the things I think you'll understand.
245
610000
2000
Jer jednu od stvari mislim kako ćete shvatiti.
10:27
We went to a meeting,
246
612000
2000
Otišli smo na sastanak
10:29
and the men in my delegation,
247
614000
2000
i muškarci u mojoj delegaciji,
10:31
when I would say, "Well I feel we should do something about this,"
248
616000
3000
kada bih ja rekla, "Pa osjećam kako bi morali nešto napraviti po tom pitanju",
10:34
and they'd say, "What do you mean, you feel?"
249
619000
3000
oni bi rekli, "Kako to mislite, vi osjećate?"
10:37
And so then Tarja was sitting across the table from me.
250
622000
3000
I tada je Tarja sjedila preko puta mog stola.
10:40
And all of a sudden we were talking about arms control,
251
625000
3000
I odjednom smo pričale o kontroli naoružanja
10:43
and she said, "Well I feel we should do this."
252
628000
2000
i ona je rekla, "Pa osjećam kako bismo to trebali učiniti".
10:45
And my male colleagues kind of got it all of a sudden.
253
630000
3000
I svi moji muški kolege odjedno su shvatili.
10:48
But I think it really does help
254
633000
2000
Ali mislim kako doista pomaže
10:50
to have a critical mass of women
255
635000
3000
imati kritičnu masu žena
10:53
in a series of foreign policy positions.
256
638000
3000
na nizu poziciju u vanjskoj politici.
10:56
The other thing that I think is really important:
257
641000
3000
Druga stvar za koju mislim kako je doista važna:
10:59
A lot of national security policy
258
644000
2000
dosta državne sigurnosne politike
11:01
isn't just about foreign policy,
259
646000
2000
nije samo o vanjskoj politici,
11:03
but it's about budgets, military budgets,
260
648000
3000
nego je i o budžetima, vojnim budžetima
11:06
and how the debts of countries work out.
261
651000
3000
i kako riješiti dugove zemalja.
11:09
So if you have women
262
654000
2000
Stoga ako imate žene
11:11
in a variety of foreign policy posts,
263
656000
3000
na različitim mjestima u vanjskoj politici
11:14
they can support each other
264
659000
2000
one mogu pružiti potporu jedna drugoj
11:16
when there are budget decisions being made in their own countries.
265
661000
3000
kada se donose odluke o budžetu u njihovim zemljama.
11:19
PM: So how do we get
266
664000
2000
PM: Dakle, kako postignemo
11:21
this balance we're looking for, then, in the world?
267
666000
3000
tu ravnotežu kojoj stremimo u svijetu?
11:24
More women's voices at the table?
268
669000
2000
Više ženskih glasova za stolom?
11:26
More men who believe
269
671000
2000
Više muškaraca koji vjeruju
11:28
that the balance is best?
270
673000
2000
kako je ravnoteža najbolja?
11:30
MA: Well I think one of the things --
271
675000
2000
MA: Pa ja mislim kako jedna od stvari:
11:32
I'm chairman of the board of an organization
272
677000
2000
Predsjednica sam odbora organizacije
11:34
called the National Democratic Institute
273
679000
2000
zvane Nacionalni demokratski institut
11:36
that works to support women candidates.
274
681000
3000
koji radi kako bi pružio podršku ženama kandidatkinjama.
11:39
I think that we need
275
684000
2000
Mislim kako trebamo
11:41
to help in other countries
276
686000
2000
pružiti pomoć u drugim zemljama
11:43
to train women
277
688000
2000
kako bi trenirali žene
11:45
to be in political office,
278
690000
2000
da budu u političkom uredu,
11:47
to figure out how they can in fact
279
692000
2000
da otkriju kako zapravo mogu
11:49
develop political voices.
280
694000
2000
razviti političke glasove.
11:51
I think we also need to be supportive
281
696000
3000
Isto tako mislim kako trebamo pružati podršku
11:54
when businesses are being created
282
699000
3000
kada se poduzeća stvaraju
11:57
and just make sure that women help each other.
283
702000
2000
i samo omogućiti da žene mogu pomagati jedne drugima.
11:59
Now I have a saying
284
704000
2000
Sada, imam jednu izreku,
12:01
that I feel very strongly about,
285
706000
2000
koje se jako dosljedno držim,
12:03
because I am of a certain age
286
708000
2000
jer sam u određenim godinama
12:05
where, when I started in my career,
287
710000
2000
gdje, kada sam započela svoju karijeru,
12:07
believe it or not, there were other women who criticized me:
288
712000
3000
vjerovali ili ne, bile druge žene koje su me kritizirale:
12:10
"Why aren't you in the carpool line?"
289
715000
3000
"Zašto ne čekaj u redu za javni prijevoz?"
12:13
or "Aren't your children suffering
290
718000
2000
ili "Ne pate li tvoja djeca
12:15
because you're not there all the time?"
291
720000
2000
jer nisi s njima cijelo vrijeme?"
12:17
And I think we have a tendency to make each other feel guilty.
292
722000
3000
I mislim kako imamo tendenciju učiniti jedna drugu da se osjećamo krivima.
12:20
In fact, I think "guilt" is every woman's middle name.
293
725000
4000
Zapravo, mislim kako je "krivnja" srednje ime svake žene.
12:24
And so I think what needs to happen
294
729000
2000
I stoga mislim kako je ono što se treba dogoditi
12:26
is we need to help each other.
295
731000
3000
