Hawa Abdi: Many people -- 20 years for Somalia --

Hawa Abdi: 20年來 -- 在索馬里，很多人
00:19
[were] fighting.
1
4000
2000
都一直在打仗。
00:21
So there was no job, no food.
2
6000
4000
所以在那裡沒有工作、沒有食物。
00:25
Children, most of them,
3
10000
2000
大部分的兒童，
00:27
became very malnourished, like this.
4
12000
3000
就像這樣，變得非常的營養不良。
00:31
Deqo Mohamed: So as you know,
5
16000
2000
Deqo Mohamed: 如你所知，
00:33
always in a civil war,
6
18000
2000
在內戰中，
00:35
the ones affected most [are] the women and children.
7
20000
3000
婦女和兒童總是最受影響的。
00:38
So our patients are women and children.
8
23000
3000
所以我們的病人都是婦女和兒童。
00:41
And they are in our backyard.
9
26000
2000
他們就在我們的後院。
00:43
It's our home. We welcome them.
10
28000
2000
那是我們的家，我們歡迎他們。
00:45
That's the camp that we have in now
11
30000
3000
這是我們現在擁有的營地，
00:48
90,000 people,
12
33000
2000
那裡有90,000人，
00:50
where 75 percent of them are women and children.
13
35000
3000
其中75%是婦女和兒童。
00:53
Pat Mitchell: And this is your hospital. This is the inside.
14
38000
2000
Pat Mitchell: 這就是你們的醫院。 這是醫院內部。
00:55
HA: We are doing C-sections and different operations
15
40000
3000
HA: 我們執行剖腹產和其他各種不同的手術，
00:58
because people need some help.
16
43000
3000
就因為人們需要幫助。
01:01
There is no government to protect them.
17
46000
3000
那裡沒有政府來保護他們。
01:04
DM: Every morning we have about 400 patients,
18
49000
3000
DM: 每天早上，我們有大約400名病人，
01:07
maybe more or less.
19
52000
2000
也許多一些或少一些。
01:09
But sometimes we are only five doctors
20
54000
3000
但有時我們只有五名醫師
01:12
and 16 nurses,
21
57000
2000
及16名護士，
01:14
and we are physically getting exhausted to see all of them.
22
59000
4000
要看完所有的人實在令我們筋疲力盡。
01:18
But we take the severe ones,
23
63000
2000
但是我們會先看較嚴重的病人，
01:20
and we reschedule the other ones the next day.
24
65000
3000
然後重新安排其他病人到第二天看診。
01:23
It is very tough.
25
68000
2000
這是非常艱難的。
01:25
And as you can see, it's the women who are carrying the children;
26
70000
3000
正如你所看到，是那些婦女們帶著孩子、
01:28
it's the women who come into the hospitals;
27
73000
2000
是那些婦女們來到醫院，
01:30
it's the women [are] building the houses.
28
75000
2000
是那些婦女們搭建了那些房子。
01:32
That's their house.
29
77000
2000
這是他們的家。
01:34
And we have a school. This is our bright --
30
79000
3000
此外，我們還有一所學校。 這是我們的光明--
01:37
we opened [in the] last two years [an] elementary school
31
82000
3000
我們在過去兩年開設了一所小學
01:40
where we have 850 children,
32
85000
3000
我們有850個學生，
01:43
and the majority are women and girls.
33
88000
2000
其中大多是婦女和女童。
01:45
(Applause)
34
90000
6000
(掌聲)
01:51
PM: And the doctors have some very big rules
35
96000
3000
PM: 醫師們對於哪些人可以接受診療
01:54
about who can get treated at the clinic.
36
99000
2000
有一些非常嚴格的規則。
01:56
Would you explain the rules for admission?
37
101000
3000
你能解釋一下診所受理病人的規則嗎?
01:59
HA: The people who are coming to us,
38
104000
2000
HA: 來到我們這的人，
02:01
we are welcoming.
39
106000
2000
我們都非常歡迎。
02:03
We are sharing with them
40
108000
2000
我們和他們分享
02:05
whatever we have.
41
110000
2000
我們擁有的一切。
02:07
But there are only two rules.
42
112000
2000
但是這裡有兩個規則。
02:09
First rule:
43
114000
2000
第一:
02:11
there is no clan distinguished and political division
44
116000
3000
在這個索馬里社群中
02:14
in Somali society.
45
119000
3000
不容許種族歧視和政治分裂。
02:17
[Whomever] makes those things we throw out.
46
122000
3000
我們會拒收這一類的人。
02:20
The second:
47
125000
2000
第二:
02:22
no man can beat his wife.
48
127000
2000
不容許男人打他的妻子。
02:24
If he beat,
49
129000
2000
若有人打妻子，
02:26
we will put [him] in jail,
50
131000
2000
我們會送他進監獄，
02:28
and we will call the eldest people.
51
133000
3000
而且我們會告訴我們的長老。
02:31
Until they identify this case,
52
136000
3000
直到他們釐清案情，
02:34
we'll never release him.
53
139000
2000
否則我們永遠不會釋放他。
02:36
That's our two rules.
54
141000
2000
這就是我們的兩個規則。
02:38
(Applause)
55
143000
5000
(掌聲)
02:43
The other thing that I have realized,
56
148000
3000
我還了解到，
02:46
that the woman is the most strong person
57
151000
3000
女人是這個世界上
02:49
all over the world.
58
154000
2000
最強的人。
02:51
Because the last 20 years,
59
156000
2000
在過去20年來，
02:53
the Somali woman has stood up.
60
158000
3000
索馬里的女人都站了起來。
02:56
They were the leaders,
61
161000
2000
她們是領導者，
02:58
and we are the leaders
62
163000
2000
而我們是
03:00
of our community
63
165000
2000
我們社區的領導者
03:02
and the hope of our future generations.
64
167000
2000
也是我們下一代的希望。
03:04
We are not just the helpless
65
169000
2000
我們並非只是那些感到無助
03:06
and the victims of the civil war.
66
171000
2000
的內戰受害者。
03:08
We can reconcile.
67
173000
2000
我們能夠調停戰爭。
03:10
We can do everything.
68
175000
2000
任何事情我們都可以做的到。
03:12
(Applause)
69
177000
6000
(掌聲)
03:18
DM: As my mother said, we are the future hope,
70
183000
2000
DM: 正如我的母親說的，我們是未來的希望，
03:20
and the men are only killing in Somalia.
71
185000
3000
而在索馬里男人只會互相殘殺。
03:23
So we came up with these two rules.
72
188000
2000
因此，我們想出了這兩個規則。
03:25
In a camp with 90,000 people,
73
190000
2000
在一個有90,000人的營區，
03:27
you have to come up with some rules or there is going to be some fights.
74
192000
3000
你必須要制訂一些規則，不然一定會有一些鬥爭。
03:30
So there is no clan division,
75
195000
2000
所以那裡沒有種族的區分、
03:32
and no man can beat his wife.
76
197000
2000
而且沒有人可以打他的妻子。
03:34
And we have a little storage room
77
199000
2000
而且我們有一個小儲物室
03:36
where we converted a jail.
78
201000
2000
我們把它改造成監獄。
03:38
So if you beat your wife, you're going to be there.
79
203000
2000
所以如果你打你的妻子，你的下場就是到那裡面。
03:40
(Applause)
80
205000
2000
(掌聲)
03:42
So empowering the women and giving the opportunity --
81
207000
3000
因此，賦權婦女，並給予機會 --
03:45
we are there for them. They are not alone for this.
82
210000
4000
我們在那裡支持她們； 他們並不是獨自承受這些。
03:49
PM: You're running a medical clinic.
83
214000
2000
PM: 你們開了一間醫療診所。
03:51
It brought much, much needed medical care
84
216000
3000
為那些須要幫忙的人
03:54
to people who wouldn't get it.
85
219000
2000
帶來很多醫療照護。
03:56
You're also running a civil society.
86
221000
2000
你們同時也是在營運一個文明社會。
03:58
You've created your own rules,
87
223000
2000
你們建立了自己的規則，
04:00
in which women and children
88
225000
2000
使婦女和兒童
04:02
are getting a different sense of security.
89
227000
3000
感受到一種不同的安全感。
04:05
Talk to me about your decision, Dr. Abdi,
90
230000
3000
跟我談談你的決定，Abdi醫師，
04:08
and your decision, Dr. Mohamed,
91
233000
2000
和你的決定，Mohamed醫生，
04:10
to work together --
92
235000
2000
你們一起工作 --
04:12
for you to become a doctor
93
237000
2000
使你成為一位醫生
04:14
and to work with your mother in these circumstances.
94
239000
3000
並與你的母親在這種情況下工作。
04:17
HA: My age --
95
242000
2000
HA: 我的年齡 --
04:19
because I was born in 1947 --
96
244000
3000
因為我在1947年出生 --
04:22
we were having, at that time,
97
247000
2000
在那個時候，
04:24
government, law and order.
98
249000
3000
我們有政府、法律和紀律。
04:28
But one day, I went to the hospital --
99
253000
3000
但是有一天，我去了醫院 --
04:31
my mother was sick --
100
256000
2000
我的母親病了--
04:33
and I saw the hospital, how they [were] treating the doctors,
101
258000
3000
我在醫院看到醫師是如何診治病人，
04:36
how they [are] committed
102
261000
2000
看到他們如何全心全力的
04:38
to help the sick people.
103
263000
3000
去幫助生病的人。
04:41
I admired them,
104
266000
2000
我很敬佩他們，
04:43
and I decided to become a doctor.
105
268000
2000
於是我決定要成為一名醫師。
04:45
My mother died, unfortunately,
106
270000
2000
不幸的是，當我12歲，
04:47
when I was 12 years [old].
107
272000
2000
我的母親去世了。
04:49
Then my father allowed me
108
274000
4000
我父親讓我繼續
04:53
to proceed [with] my hope.
109
278000
3000
追尋我的夢想。
04:56
My mother died
110
281000
2000
我母親死於
04:58
in [a] gynecology complication,
111
283000
2000
婦科併發症，
05:00
so I decided to become
112
285000
2000
所以我決定要成為
05:02
a gynecology specialist.
113
287000
3000
一名婦科專科醫師。
05:05
That's why I became a doctor.
114
290000
3000
這就是我要成為一名醫師的原因。
05:08
So Dr. Deqo has to explain.
115
293000
3000
Deqo醫師也要解釋一下。
05:11
DM: For me, my mother was preparing [me] when I was a child
116
296000
3000
DM: 對我來說，當我還是個孩子時
05:14
to become a doctor, but I really didn't want to.
117
299000
3000
我的母親便打算栽培我成為一位醫師，但我並不是很想這樣。
05:17
Maybe I should become an historian,
118
302000
2000
也許我應該成為一位歷史學家，
05:19
or maybe a reporter.
119
304000
2000
或者是記者。
05:21
I loved it, but it didn't work.
120
306000
2000
我很喜歡，但是這樣行不通。
05:23
When the war broke out -- civil war --
121
308000
2000
當內戰爆發之後
05:25
I saw how my mother was helping
122
310000
2000
我看到我的母親是如何幫助他人，
05:27
and how she really needed the help,
123
312000
2000
看到了她是多麼需要幫助，
05:29
and how the care is essential to the woman
124
314000
3000
也看到了她所提供的醫療照護對那些婦女們來說是多麼的重要 --
05:32
to be a woman doctor in Somalia
125
317000
2000
在索馬里做一名女性醫師
05:34
and help the women and children.
126
319000
2000
並幫助婦女和兒童。
05:36
And I thought, maybe I can be a reporter and doctor gynecologist.
127
321000
3000
我想，也許我能同時做一名記者和一名婦科醫師。
05:39
(Laughter)
128
324000
2000
(笑聲)
05:41
So I went to Russia, and my mother also,
129
326000
2000
於此我和母親在蘇聯時期
05:43
[during the] time of [the] Soviet Union.
130
328000
2000
去了俄羅斯。
05:45
So some of our character,
131
330000
3000
所以我們有一些性格，
05:48
maybe we will come with a strong Soviet background of training.
132
333000
3000
帶著強烈的蘇聯方式訓練的感覺。
05:52
So that's how I decided [to do] the same.
133
337000
2000
這就是為什麼我決定要跟母親做相同的事。
05:54
My sister was different.
134
339000
2000
我姐姐是不同的。
05:56
She's here. She's also a doctor.
135
341000
2000
她在這裡。她也是一名醫師。
05:58
She graduated in Russia also.
136
343000
2000
她也是在俄羅斯畢業。
06:00
(Applause)
137
345000
2000
(掌聲)
06:02
And to go back and to work with our mother
138
347000
2000
回去和我們的母親一起工作
06:04
is just what we saw in the civil war --
139
349000
2000
正是因為我們在內戰中看到的 --
06:06
when I was 16, and my sister was 11,
140
351000
3000
當內戰爆發時，
06:09
when the civil war broke out.
141
354000
3000
那時我16歲，妹妹11歲。
06:12
So it was the need and the people we saw
142
357000
3000
正是在90年代初期我們看到的那些需求、
06:15
in the early '90s --
143
360000
2000
那些需要幫助的人們，
06:17
that's what made us go back
144
362000
2000
使我們決定要回來
06:19
and work for them.
145
364000
3000
幫助他們。
06:22
PM: So what is the biggest challenge
146
367000
3000
PM: 當母女一起
06:25
working, mother and daughter,
147
370000
2000
在這樣危險
06:27
in such dangerous
148
372000
2000
甚至有時可怕的情況下工作
06:29
and sometimes scary situations?
149
374000
2000
最大挑戰的是什麼?
06:31
HA: Yes, I was working in a tough situation,
150
376000
4000
HA: 是的，我在一個艱難的情況下工作，
06:35
very dangerous.
151
380000
3000
非常的危險。
06:38
And when I saw the people who needed me,
152
383000
3000
當我看見那些需要我的人，
06:41
I was staying with them to help,
153
386000
2000
我便留下來幫助他們，
06:43
because I [could] do something for them.
154
388000
3000
因為我可為他們做點事。
06:46
Most people fled abroad.
155
391000
4000
很多人逃往國外。
06:50
But I remained with those people,
156
395000
3000
但我仍然與那些人留在一起，
06:53
and I was trying to do something --
157
398000
3000
我試圖做一些事情 --
06:56
[any] little thing I [could] do.
158
401000
3000
一些我可以做到的小事。
06:59
I succeeded in my place.
159
404000
3000
我在我的職位上獲得了成功。
07:02
Now my place is 90,000 people
160
407000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dr. Hawa Abdi + Dr. Deqo Mohamed - Somali doctors who treat women refugeesDr. Hawa Abdi and her daughters, Dr. Deqo Mohamed and Dr. Amina Mohamed, treat Somali refugee women and children, often for free.
Why you should listen
Dr. Hawa Abdi is an OB/GYN (and a lawyer) who lives and works in Somalia with her daughters, also doctors, Dr. Amina Mohamed and Dr. Dr. Deqo Mohamed. In 1983, she opened a small clinic in Somalia -- which became a refuge as Somalia devolved into civil war. Her one-room clinic has grown to encompass a hospital, a school and a refugee camp for some 90,000 women and children, she estimates, who were displaced by war.
In 2010, Glamour named Dr. Abdi and her daughters "Women of the Year," and called them the "Saints of Somalia." Nicholas Kristoff wrote a stirring tribute to her work titled "Heroic, Female and Muslim." And she works largely on her own; as Glamour notes: "While Dr. Abdi has gotten some help, many charities refuse to enter Somalia. 'It’s the most dangerous country,' says Kati Marton, a board member of Human Rights Watch. 'Dr. Abdi is just about the only one doing anything.'"
