Često držim pedavanja
00:17
I go around the world to speak,
1
2000
3000
širom sveta,
00:20
and people ask me questions
2
5000
2000
i ljudi me pitaju
00:22
about the challenges,

7000
2000
o izazovima,
00:24
my moments,
4
9000
3000
mojim trenucima
00:27
some of my regrets.
5
12000
2000
i o stvarima zbog kojih se kajem.
00:29
1998:
6
14000
3000
1998.:
00:32
A single mother of four,
7
17000
2000
kao samohrana majka četvoro dece,
00:34
three months after the birth of my fourth child,
8
19000
4000
tri meseca nakon rođenja
mog četvrtog deteta,
mog četvrtog deteta,
00:38
I went to do a job
9
23000
3000
počela sam da radim
00:41
as a research assistant.
10
26000
4000
kao asistent istraživača.
00:45
I went to Northern Liberia.
11
30000
3000
Otišla sam u severni deo Liberije.
00:48
And as part of the work,
12
33000
3000
U sklopu posla,
00:51
the village would give you lodgings.
13
36000
3000
selo mi je obezbedilo smeštaj
00:54
And they gave me lodging with a single mother
14
39000
3000
kod samohrane majke
00:57
and her daughter.
15
42000
2000
i njene kćeri.
00:59
This girl happened to be
16
44000
3000
Ispostavilo se da je ta devojčica
01:02
the only girl in the entire village
17
47000
2000
jedina u tom selu
01:04
who had made it
18
49000
2000
koja je upisala
01:06
to the ninth grade.
19
51000
2000
deveti razred.
01:08
She was the laughing stock of the community.
20
53000
3000
Ljudi u selu su joj se podsmevali.
01:11
Her mother was often told by other women,
21
56000
3000
Druge žene su njenoj majci često govorile:
01:14
"You and your child
22
59000
2000
"Ti i tvoje dete
01:16
will die poor."
23
61000
3000
ćete umreti siromašne."
01:19
After two weeks of working in that village,
24
64000
3000
Posle dve nedelje rada u tom selu,
01:22
it was time to go back.
25
67000
2000
došlo je vreme za povratak.
01:24
The mother came to me, knelt down,
26
69000
4000
Majka je došla kod mene, klekla
01:28
and said, "Leymah, take my daughter.
27
73000
4000
i rekla: "Lejma, povedi moju kćer.
01:32
I wish for her
28
77000
2000
Želim
01:34
to be a nurse."
29
79000
3000
da bude medicinska sestra."
01:37
Dirt poor, living in the home with my parents,
30
82000
4000
Živela sam u velikom siromaštvu,
u kući svojih roditelja,
u kući svojih roditelja,
01:41
I couldn't afford to.
31
86000
3000
i nisam mogla to da priuštim.
01:44
With tears in my eyes,
32
89000
2000
Sa suzama u očima,
01:46
I said, "No."
33
91000
3000
rekla sam: "Ne."
01:49
Two months later,
34
94000
2000
Dva meseca kasnije,
01:51
I go to another village
35
96000
2000
odlazim u drugo selo,
01:53
on the same assignment
36
98000
2000
sa istim zadatkom,
01:55
and they asked me to live with the village chief.
37
100000
4000
i ponudili su mi da živim
sa upravnikom sela.
sa upravnikom sela.
01:59
The women's chief of the village has this little girl,
38
104000
3000
Njegova žena ima tu devojčicu,
02:02
fair color like me,
39
107000
2000
iste boje kao i ja,
02:04
totally dirty.
40
109000
2000
potpuno prljavu.
02:06
And all day she walked around
41
111000
2000
Po čitav dan ona je tumarala okolo
02:08
only in her underwear.
42
113000
2000
samo u svom donjem vešu.
02:10
When I asked, "Who is that?"
43
115000
3000
Kada sam upitala: "Ko je to?",
02:13
She said, "That's Wei.
44
118000
2000
žena mi je odgovorila: "To je Vei.
02:15
The meaning of her name is pig.
45
120000
3000
Njeno ime znači svinja.
02:18
Her mother died while giving birth to her,
46
123000
3000
Majka joj je umrla na porođaju,
02:21
and no one had any idea who her father was."
47
126000
3000
a niko nije imao pojma ko je njen otac."
02:24
For two weeks, she became my companion,
48
129000
3000
Te dve nedelje, ona je
postala moj saputnik,
postala moj saputnik,
02:27
slept with me.
49
132000
2000
spavala je pored mene.
02:29
I bought her used clothes
50
134000
2000
Kupila sam joj staru odeću
02:31
and bought her her first doll.
51
136000
2000
i njenu prvu lutku.
02:33
The night before I left,
52
138000
3000
Veče pre nego što je trebalo da odem,
02:36
she came to the room
53
141000
2000
došla je u moju sobu
02:38
and said, "Leymah, don't leave me here.
54
143000
2000
i rekla: "Lejma, ne ostavljaj me ovde.
02:40
I wish to go with you.
55
145000
2000
Želim da pođem s tobom.
02:42
I wish to go to school."
56
147000
2000
Želim da idem u školu."
02:44
Dirt poor, no money,
57
149000
3000
Veoma siromašna, bez novca,
02:47
living with my parents,
58
152000
2000
živeći u kući s mojim roditeljima,
02:49
I again said, "No."
59
154000
2000
ponovo sam rekla: "Ne."
02:51
Two months later,
60
156000
2000
Dva meseca potom,
02:53
both of those villages fell into another war.
61
158000
3000
u oba sela je izbio rat.
02:56
Till today, I have no idea
62
161000
4000
Ni danas ne znam
03:00
where those two girls are.
63
165000
2000
gde su te devojčice.
03:02
Fast-forward, 2004:
64
167000
4000
Godina 2004.
03:06
In the peak of our activism,
65
171000
3000
Na vrhuncu našeg aktivizma,
03:09
the minister of Gender Liberia called me
66
174000
2000
ministar Liberije me je pozvao
03:11
and said, "Leymah, I have a nine-year-old for you.
67
176000
3000
i rekao: "Lejma, imam za tebe
jednu devetogodišnjakinju.
jednu devetogodišnjakinju.
03:14
I want you to bring her home
68
179000
2000
Hoću da je odvedeš kući
03:16
because we don't have safe homes."
69
181000
2000
jer nemamo sigurne kuće."
03:18
The story of this little girl:
70
183000
2000
Ovo je priča te devojčice:
03:20
She had been raped
71
185000
2000
silovao ju je
03:22
by her paternal grandfather
72
187000
2000
njen deda sa očeve strane
03:24
every day for six months.
73
189000
2000
svakog dana, šest meseci.
03:26
She came to me bloated,
74
191000
3000
Došla je kod mene naduvena,
03:29
very pale.
75
194000
2000
veoma bleda.
03:31
Every night I'd come from work and lie on the cold floor.
76
196000
3000
Svake noći kada bih se vratila
sa posla i legla na hladan pod,
sa posla i legla na hladan pod,
03:34
She'd lie beside me
77
199000
2000
ona bi legla pored mene
03:36
and say, "Auntie, I wish to be well.
78
201000
3000
i rekla: "Tetkice, želim da budem dobro.
03:39
I wish to go to school."
79
204000
3000
Želim da idem u školu."
03:42
2010:
80
207000
2000
2010.:
03:44
A young woman stands before President Sirleaf
81
209000
3000
Mlada žena stoji ispred predsednice Sirlif
03:47
and gives her testimony
82
212000
2000
i priča svoju priču
03:49
of how she and her siblings live together,
83
214000
3000
kako ona i njena braća
i sestre žive zajedno,
i sestre žive zajedno,
03:52
their father and mother died during the war.
84
217000
3000
a roditelji su im poginuli u ratu.
03:55
She's 19; her dream is to go to college
85
220000
3000
Ima 19 godina. Sanja o tome da se školuje
03:58
to be able to support them.
86
223000
2000
kako bi mogla da ih izdržava.
04:00
She's highly athletic.
87
225000
2000
Sportski je građena.
04:02
One of the things that happens
88
227000
2000
Jedna od stvari koja se desila
04:04
is that she applies for a scholarship.
89
229000
2000
je ta da je konkurisala za stipendiju.
04:06
Full scholarship. She gets it.
90
231000
2000
Punu stipendiju. Dobija je.
04:08
Her dream of going to school,
91
233000
2000
Njen san da ide u školu,
04:10
her wish of being educated,
92
235000
2000
njena želja da se obrazuje,
04:12
is finally here.
93
237000
2000
konačno su ostvareni.
04:14
She goes to school on the first day.
94
239000
3000
Odlazi u školu prvog dana.
04:17
The director of sports

04:19
who's responsible for getting her into the program
96
244000
2000
koji je odgovoran za njen program
04:21
asks her to come out of class.
97
246000
2000
je zamoli da izađe iz učionice.
04:23
And for the next three years,
98
248000
2000
Sledeće tri godine,
04:25
her fate will be
99
250000
2000
je bila osuđena na
04:27
having sex with him every day,
100
252000
3000
seksualne odnose sa njim svakog dana
04:30
as a favor for getting her in school.
101
255000
3000
za uslugu što ju je pustio u školu.
04:33
Globally, we have policies,
102
258000
4000
Globalno, postoji politika,
04:37
international instruments,
103
262000
2000
internacionalni instrumenti,
04:39
work leaders.
104
264000
2000
vođe poslova.
04:41
Great people have made commitments --
105
266000
2000
Veliki ljudi su se obavezali
04:43
we will protect our children
106
268000
3000
da ćemo zaštititi našu decu
04:46
from want and from fear.
107
271000
2000
od požude i straha.
04:48
The U.N. has the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Postoji Povelja o pravima

deteta Ujedinjenih nacija.
04:52
Countries like America, we've heard things like No Child Left Behind.
109
277000
4000
Iz zemalja poput Amerike dolaze inicijative
kao što je "Nijedno dete zanemareno".
kao što je "Nijedno dete zanemareno".
04:56
Other countries come with different things.
110
281000
3000
Druge zemlje imaju različite stvari.
04:59
There is a Millennium Development called Three

koji se zove "Tri"
koji se zove "Tri"
05:01
that focuses on girls.
112

i fokusiran je na devojčice.
05:05
All of these great works by great people
113
290000
2000
Sva ova izuzetna dela izuzetnih ljudi
05:07
aimed at getting young people
114
292000
2000
posvećena usmeravanju mladih ljudi
05:09
to where we want to get them globally,
115
294000
3000
ka onome gde bismo
globalno želeli da budu,
globalno želeli da budu,
05:12
I think, has failed.
116
297000
2000
su po mom mišljenju propala.
05:14
In Liberia, for example,
117
299000
3000
Na primer, u Liberiji,
05:17
the teenage pregnancy rate
118
302000
2000
je trudna
05:19
is three to every 10 girls.
119
304000
4000
svaka treća od deset tinejdžerki.
05:23
Teen prostitution is at its peak.
120
308000
3000
Maloletničko prostituisanje je na vrhuncu.
05:26
In one community, we're told,
121
311000
2000
U jednoj zajednici su nam rekli,
05:28
you wake up in the morning
122
313000
2000
da kada se probudiš ujutru
05:30
and see used condoms like used chewing gum paper.
123
315000
4000
ugledaš upotrebljene kondome
kao papiriće od žvaka.
kao papiriće od žvaka.
05:34
Girls as young as 12 being prostituted
124
319000
3000
Čak i dvanaestogodišnjakinje
rade kao prostitutke,
rade kao prostitutke,
05:37
for less than a dollar a night.
125
322000
4000
za manje od dolar za jednu noć.
05:41
It's disheartening, it's sad.
126
326000
3000
To je srceparajuće, to je žalosno.
05:44
And then someone asked me,
127
329000
2000
A onda me je neko pitao,
05:46
just before my TEDTalk, a few days ago,
128
331000
2000
baš pre mog izlaganja ovde,
pre nekoliko dana,
pre nekoliko dana,
05:48
"So where is the hope?"
129
333000
2000
"Pa, ima li nade?"
05:50
Several years ago, a few friends of mine
130
335000
3000
Pre par godina, nekoliko mojih prijatelja
05:53
decided we needed to bridge the disconnect
131
338000
2000
je odlučilo da treba da premostimo jaz
05:55
between our generation
132
340000
2000
između naše generacije
05:57
and the generation of young women.
133
342000
2000
i generacije mladih žena.
05:59
It's not enough to say
134
344000
2000
Nije dovoljno reći
06:01
you have two Nobel laureates from the Republic of Liberia
135
346000
3000
imate dva laureata Nobelove
nagrade u republici Liberiji,
nagrade u republici Liberiji,
06:04
when your girls' kids are totally out there
136
349000
3000
kada su pri tome vaše devojčice na ulicama
06:07
and no hope, or seemingly no hope.
137
352000
3000
i to bez nade, ili bar tako izgleda.
06:10
We created a space
138
355000
2000
Stvorili smo pokret
06:12
called the Young Girls Transformative Project.
139
357000
3000
nazvan "Projekat za pomoć
mladim devojkama".
mladim devojkama".
06:15
We go into rural communities
140
360000
3000
Posećujemo seoske zajednice
06:18
and all we do, like has been done in this room,
141
363000
3000
i radimo isto ono što
se radi u ovoj prostoriji,
se radi u ovoj prostoriji,
06:21
is create the space.
142
366000
3000
a to je - stvaramo atmosferu.
06:24
When these girls sit,
143
369000
2000
Kada ove devojčice sednu,
06:26
you unlock intelligence,
144
371000
3000
vi date šansu inteligenciji,
06:29
you unlock passion,
145
374000
3000
date šansu strasti,
06:32
you unlock commitment,
146
377000
2000
date šansu posvećenosti,
06:34
you unlock focus,
147
379000
2000
date šansu usredsređenosti,
06:36
you unlock great leaders.
148
381000
2000
date šansu velikim vođama.
06:38
Today, we've worked with over 300.
149
383000
3000
Do danas smo radili
sa više od 300 devojčica.
sa više od 300 devojčica.
06:41
And some of those girls
150
386000
2000
Neke od tih devojaka
06:43
who walked in the room very shy
151
388000
2000
koje su stidljivo ušle u sobu
06:45
have taken bold steps, as young mothers,
152
390000
3000
su preuzele odvažne korake,
kao mlade majke,
kao mlade majke,
06:48
to go out there and advocate
153
393000
3000
da izađu i da se zalažu
06:51
for the rights of other young women.
154
396000
3000
za prava drugih mladih žena.
06:54
One young woman I met,
155
399000
2000
Jedna mlada žena koju sam srela,
06:56
teen mother of four,
156
401000
2000
tinejdžerka sa četvoro dece,
06:58
never thought about finishing high school,
157
403000
2000
nikada nije pomišljala da završi školu,
07:00
graduated successfully;
158
405000
3000
uspešno je diplomirala;
07:03
never thought about going to college,
159
408000
2000
nikada nije pomišljala da studira,
07:05
enrolled in college.
160
410000
2000
upisala se na fakultet.
07:07
One day she said to me,
161
412000
2000
Jednog dana mi je rekla:
07:09
"My wish is to finish college
162
414000
2000
"Želim da završim fakultet
07:11
and be able to support my children."
163
416000
2000
i izdržavam svoju decu."
07:13
She's at a place where she can't find money
164
418000
2000
Živi na mestu gde ne može doći do novca
07:15
to go to school.
165
420000
2000
za školovanje.
07:17
She sells water, sells soft drinks
166
422000
3000
Prodaje vodu, sokove,
07:20
and sells recharge cards for cellphones.
167
425000
4000
kartice za mobilne telefone.
07:24
And you would think she would take that money
168
429000
2000
Pomislili biste da štedi taj novac
07:26
and put it back into her education.
169
431000
3000
i ulaže u svoje obrazovanje.
07:29
Juanita is her name.
170
434000
2000
Zove se Huanita.
07:31
She takes that money
171
436000
2000
Ona taj novac daje
07:33
and finds single mothers in her community
172
438000
3000
samohranim majkama u svojoj zajednici
07:36
to send back to school.
173
441000
2000
koje šalje nazad u školu.
07:38
Says, "Leymah, my wish
174
443000
2000
Ona kaže: "Lejma, moja želja
07:40
is to be educated.
175
445000
2000
je da se obrazujem.
07:42
And if I can't be educated,
176
447000
2000
A ako ja ne mogu da se obrazujem,
07:44
when I see some of my sisters being educated,
177
449000
3000
kada vidim da se neka
od mojih sestara obrazuje,
od mojih sestara obrazuje,
07:47
my wish has been fulfilled.
178
452000
2000
moja želja se ostvaruje.
07:49
I wish for a better life.
179
454000
2000
Želim bolji život.
07:51
I wish for food for my children.
180
456000
2000
Želim hranu za moju decu.
07:53
I wish that sexual abuse and exploitation in schools would stop."
181
458000
5000
Želim da prestane seksualno zlostavljanje
i iskorištavanje u školama."
i iskorištavanje u školama."
07:58
This is the dream of the African girl.
182
463000
2000
Ovo je san afričke devojke.
08:00
Several years ago,
183
465000
2000
Pre nekoliko godina,
08:02
there was one African girl.
184
467000
2000
živela je jedna afrička devojčica.
08:04
This girl had a son
185
469000
2000
Imala je sina
08:06
who wished for a piece of doughnut
186
471000
3000
koji je želeo komadić krofne
08:09
because he was extremely hungry.
187
474000
3000
jer je bio jako gladan.
08:12
Angry, frustrated,
188
477000
3000
Ljuta, frustrirana,
08:15
really upset
189
480000
2000
zaista uznemirena
08:17
about the state of her society
190
482000
3000
stanjem svog društva
08:20
and the state of her children,
191
485000
2000
i stanjem svoje dece,
08:22
this young girl started a movement,
192
487000
2000
ova mlada devojka je osnovala pokret,
08:24
a movement of ordinary women
193
489000
2000
gde su se obične žene
08:26
banding together
194
491000
2000
udružile da bi
08:28
to build peace.
195
493000
2000
se izborile za mir.
08:30
I will fulfill the wish.
196
495000
2000
Ja ću ispuniti tu želju.
08:32
This is another African girl's wish.
197
497000
2000
Ovo je želja druge afričke devojke.
08:34
I failed to fulfill the wish of those two girls.
198
499000
2000
Nisam uspela da ispunim
želje te dve devojke.
želje te dve devojke.
08:36
I failed to do this.
199
501000
2000
Nisam uspela.
08:38
These were the things that were going through the head of this other young woman --
200
503000
3000
Ovo su bile stvari koje su prolazile
kroz glavu tim mladim ženama -
kroz glavu tim mladim ženama -
08:41
I failed, I failed, I failed.
201
506000
3000
nisam uspela, nisam uspela, nisam uspela.
08:44
So I will do this.
202
509000
4000
Ja ću uraditi to.
08:48
Women came out,
203
513000
2000
Žene su izašle,
08:50
protested a brutal dictator,
204
515000
3000
usprotivile se brutalnom diktatoru,
08:53
fearlessly spoke.
205
518000
3000
govorile bez straha.
08:56
Not only did the wish of a piece of doughnut come true,
206
521000
4000
Ne samo da je želja za
parčetom krofne ispunjena,
parčetom krofne ispunjena,
09:00
the wish of peace came true.
207
525000
2000
već je i želja za mirom ispunjena.
09:02
This young woman
208
527000
2000
Ova mlada žena
09:04
wished also to go to school.
209
529000
2000
je takođe želela da ide u školu.
09:06
She went to school.
210
531000
2000
Išla je u školu.
09:08
This young woman wished for other things to happen,
211
533000
2000
Ova mlada žena je želela
da se dese i druge stvari,
da se dese i druge stvari,
09:10
it happened for her.
212
535000
2000
i one su se desile.
09:12
Today, this young woman is me,
213
537000
4000
Danas sam ja ta mlada žena,
09:16
a Nobel laureate.
214
541000
2000
dobitnik Nobelove nagrade.
09:18
I'm now on a journey
215
543000
2000
Na putu sam
09:20
to fulfill the wish,
216
545000
2000
da ispunim želju,
09:22
in my tiny capacity,
217
547000
2000
koliko je to u mojoj moći,
09:24
of little African girls --
218
549000
2000
želju mladih afričkih devojaka -
09:26
the wish of being educated.
219
551000
2000
da se obrazuju.
09:28
We set up a foundation.
220
553000
2000
Osnovali smo fondaciju.
09:30
We're giving full four-year scholarships
221
555000
2000
Dajemo pune četvorogodišnje stipendije
09:32
to girls from villages that we see with potential.
222
557000
3000
devojčicama iz sela u kojima
vidimo potencijal.
vidimo potencijal.
09:35
I don't have much to ask of you.
223
560000
3000
Ne tražim mnogo od vas.
09:38
I've also been to places in this U.S.,
224
563000
2000
Takođe sam posetila mesta
u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama,
u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama,
09:40
and I know that girls in this country
225
565000
2000
i znam da devojke iz ove zemlje
09:42
also have wishes,
226
567000
2000
takođe imaju želje,
09:44
a wish for a better life somewhere in the Bronx,
227
569000
3000
za boljim životom negde u Bronksu,
09:47
a wish for a better life
228
572000
2000
za boljim životom
09:49
somewhere in downtown L.A.,
229
574000
2000
negde u Los Anđelesu,
09:51
a wish for a better life somewhere in Texas,
230
576000
3000
za boljim životom negde u Teksasu,
09:54
a wish for a better life somewhere in New York,
231
579000
3000
za boljim životom negde u Njujorku,
09:57
a wish for a better life
232
582000
2000
za boljim životom
09:59
somewhere in New Jersey.
233
584000
2000
negde u Nju Džerziju.
10:01
Will you journey with me
234
586000
2000
Hoćete li da mi se pridružite u pokušaju
10:03
to help that girl,
235
588000
3000
da pomognemo toj devojci,
10:06
be it an African girl or an American girl
236
591000
3000
bilo da je ona iz Afrike ili Amerike
10:09
or a Japanese girl,
237
594000
2000
ili Japana
10:11
fulfill her wish,
238
596000
2000
da joj ispunimo želju,
10:13
fulfill her dream,
239
598000
2000
njen san,
10:15
achieve that dream?
240
600000
2000
da dostigne taj san?
10:17
Because all of these
241
602000
2000
Zato što svi ovi
10:19
great innovators and inventors
242
604000
3000
veliki inovatori i izumitelji
10:22
that we've talked to and seen
243
607000
2000
sa kojima smo razgovarali
i koje smo videli
i koje smo videli
10:24
over the last few days
244
609000
2000
poslednjih nekoliko dana,
10:26
are also sitting in tiny corners
245
611000
3000
takođe sede i u skrivenim ćoškovima
10:29
in different parts of the world,
246
614000
2000
širom sveta,
10:31
and all they're asking us to do
247
616000
2000
i sve što traže od nas
10:33
is create that space
248
618000
2000
je da stvorimo tu atmosferu koja će
10:35
to unlock the intelligence,
249
620000
2000
osloboditi inteligenciju,
10:37
unlock the passion,
250
622000
2000
osloboditi strast,
10:39
unlock all of the great things
251
624000
2000
osloboditi sve divne stvari
10:41
that they hold within themselves.
252
626000
3000
koje nose u sebi.
10:44
Let's journey together. Let's journey together.
253
629000
3000
Putujmo zajedno. Putujmo zajedno.
10:47
Thank you.
254
632000
2000
Hvala vam.
10:49
(Applause)
255
634000
23000
(Aplauz)
11:12
Chris Anderson: Thank you so much.
256
657000
2000
Kris Anderson: Hvala vam mnogo.
11:14
Right now in Liberia,
257
659000
2000
Upravo sada u Liberiji,
11:16
what do you see
258
661000
2000
šta je to
11:18
as the main issue that troubles you?
259
663000
3000
što vam najviše smeta?
11:21
LG: I've been asked to lead
260
666000
2000
LG: Tražili su mi da vodim
11:23
the Liberian Reconciliation Initiative.
261
668000
3000
Pokret mira Liberije.
11:26
As part of my work,
262
671000
2000
Kao deo mog posla,
11:28
I'm doing these tours
263
673000
3000
obilazim
11:31
in different villages and towns --
264
676000
2000
različita sela i gradove -
11:33
13, 15 hours on dirt roads --
265
678000
4000
13,15 sati na prašnjavim putevima -
11:37
and there is no community that I've gone into
266
682000
3000
i nema zajednice u kojoj sam bila,
11:40
that I haven't seen intelligent girls.
267
685000
4000
a u kojoj nije bilo
inteligentnih devojčica.
inteligentnih devojčica.
11:44
But sadly,
268
689000
2000
Na žalost,
11:46
the vision of a great future,
269
691000
3000
vizija velike budućnosti,
11:49
or the dream of a great future,
270
694000
2000
ili san o velikoj budućnosti,
11:51
is just a dream,
271
696000
2000
samo je san,
11:53
because you have all of these vices.
272
698000
2000
jer se susrećete sa svim tim porocima.
11:55
Teen pregnancy, like I said, is epidemic.
273
700000
3000
Tinejdžerska trudnoća je,
kao što sam rekla, epidemija.
kao što sam rekla, epidemija.
11:58
So what troubles me
274
703000
2000
Dakle, ono što me brine
12:00
is that I was at that place
275
705000
4000
je to da sam bila tamo,
12:04
and somehow I'm at this place,
276
709000
3000
i nekako sam došla i ovde,
12:07
and I just don't want to be the only one
277
712000
2000
a ne želim da budem jedina
12:09
at this place.
278
714000
2000
koja je ovde dospela.
12:11
I'm looking for ways
279
716000
2000
Tražim načine
12:13
for other girls to be with me.
280
718000
2000
da druge devojke budu uz mene.
12:15
I want to look back 20 years from now
281
720000
3000
Želim da, kada se za 20 godina osvrnem,
12:18
and see that there's another Liberian girl,
282
723000
2000
vidim da jedna devojka iz Liberije,
12:20
Ghanaian girl, Nigerian girl, Ethiopian girl
283
725000
3000
Gane, Nigerije, Etiopije
12:23
standing on this TED stage.
284
728000
3000
stoji na ovoj TED pozornici.
12:26
And maybe, just maybe, saying,
285
731000
2000
I možda, samo možda, kaže:
12:28
"Because of that Nobel laureate
286
733000
2000
"Zbog te žene koja je dobila
Nobelovu nagradu
Nobelovu nagradu
12:30
I'm here today."
287
735000
2000
ja sam danas ovde."
12:32
So I'm troubled
288
737000
2000
Veoma sam zabrinuta
12:34
when I see them like there's no hope.
289
739000
3000
kada ih vidim beznadežne.
12:37
But I'm also not pessimistic,
290
742000
3000
Ali ipak nisam tako pesimistična,
12:40
because I know it doesn't take a lot
291
745000
2000
jer znam da mi ne treba mnogo
12:42
to get them charged up.
292
747000
2000
da bih ih podstakla.
12:44
CA: And in the last year,
293
749000
2000
KA: Podelite sa nama jednu stvar
12:46
tell us one hopeful thing
294
751000
2000
koja se desila prošle godine,
a koja budi nadu,
a koja budi nadu,
12:48
that you've seen happening.
295
753000
2000
i kojoj ste bili svedok.
12:50
LG: I can tell you many hopeful things that I've seen happening.
296
755000
3000
LG: Mogu da vam pričam
o mnogim takvim primerima.
o mnogim takvim primerima.
12:53
But in the last year,
297
758000
2000
Ali prošle godine
12:55
where President Sirleaf comes from, her village,
298
760000
2000
smo otišli u selo iz kojeg
je predsednica Sirlif,
je predsednica Sirlif,
12:57
we went there to work with these girls.
299
762000
2000
otišli smo da radimo sa devojčicama.
12:59
And we could not find 25 girls
300
764000
2000
Nismo mogli da nađemo 25 devojčica
13:01
in high school.
301
766000
2000
u srednjoj školi.
13:03
All of these girls went to the gold mine,
302
768000
3000
Sve ove devojčice su išle u rudnik zlata,
13:06
and they were predominantly prostitutes
303
771000
2000
a uglavnom su bile prostitutke
13:08
doing other things.
304
773000
2000
i radile razne stvari.
13:10
We took 50 of those girls
305
775000
2000
Okupili smo 50 devojaka
13:12
and we worked with them.
306
777000
2000
i radili sa njima.
13:14
And this was at the beginning of elections.
307
779000
3000
To je bilo na početku izbora.
13:17
This is one place where women were never --
308
782000
2000
To je mesto gde žene nikada -
13:19
even the older ones
309
784000
2000
čak ni one starije -
13:21
barely sat in the circle with the men.
310

nisu čak ni sedele u društvu muškaraca.

These girls banded together and formed a group

Ove devojke su se udružile,
formirale grupu
formirale grupu
13:27
and launched a campaign

i započele kampanju
13:29
for voter registration.

13:31
This is a real rural village.
314
796000
2000
To je zaista pravo ruralno mesto.
13:33
And the theme they used was:
315
798000
2000
A slogan koji su koristile je bio:
13:35
"Even pretty girls vote."
316
800000
2000
"Čak i lepe devojke glasaju."
13:37
They were able to mobilize young women.
317
802000
2000
Uspele su da okupe mlade žene.
13:39
But not only did they do that,
318
804000
3000
Ali nisu samo to uradile.
13:42
they went to those who were running for seats
319
807000
2000
Otišle su do onih koji su se kandidovali
13:44
to ask them, "What is it
320
809000
2000
i pitali ih: "Šta je to
13:46
that you will give the girls of this community
321
811000
2000
što ćete pružiti devojkama ove zajednice
13:48
when you win?"
322
813000
2000
kada pobedite?"
13:50
And one of the guys
323
815000
2000
Jedan od tih ljudi
13:52
who already had a seat was very --
324
817000
3000
koji je već imao mesto je bio vrlo -
13:55
because Liberia has one of the strongest rape laws,
325
820000
2000
Liberija ima jedan od najstrožih
zakona o silovanju,
zakona o silovanju,
13:57
and he was one of those really fighting in parliament
326
822000
3000
on je bio jedan od onih koji
se zaista bore u parlamentu
se zaista bore u parlamentu
14:00
to overturn that law
327
825000
2000
da preobliče taj zakon
14:02
because he called it barbaric.
328
827000
2000
jer ga je nazvao varvarskim.
14:04
Rape is not barbaric, but the law, he said, was barbaric.
329
829000
4000
Silovanje nije varvarsko,
ali zakon, rekao je, jeste.
ali zakon, rekao je, jeste.
14:08
And when the girls started engaging him,
330
833000
2000
A kada su devojke počele
da razgovaraju s njim,
da razgovaraju s njim,
14:10
he was very hostile towards them.
331
835000
2000
bio je veoma neljubazan.
14:12
These little girls turned to him and said,
332
837000
2000
Te mlade devojke su
se okrenule i rekle mu:
se okrenule i rekle mu:
14:14
"We will vote you out of office."
333
839000
2000
"Zbacićemo te sa položaja."
14:16
He's out of office today.
334
841000
2000
On danas više nije na tom položaju.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Leymah Gbowee - Peace activist, NobelistLeymah Gbowee is a peace activist in Liberia. She led a women's movement that was pivotal in ending the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003, and now speaks on behalf of women and girls around the world.
Why you should listen
Liberia's second civil war, 1999-2003, brought an unimaginable level of violence to a country still recovering from its first civil war (1989-96). And much of that violence was directed at women: Systematic rape and brutality used women's bodies as fields for war.
Leymah Gbowee, who'd become a social worker during the first war, helped organize an interreligious coalition of Christian and Muslim women called the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace movement. Dressed in white, these thousands of women staged pray-ins and nonviolent protests demanding reconciliation and the resuscitation of high-level peace talks. The pressure pushed Charles Taylor into exile, and smoothed the path for the election of Africa’s first female head of state, Leymah's fellow 2011 Nobel Peace laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
Gbowee is the founder and president of Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa, which provides educational and leadership opportunities to girls, women and the youth in West Africa.
