四十年前，茱迪斯·霍伊曼協助領導了一場開創性的抗爭，叫做「504 區靜坐」。在那次的抗爭中，為身心障礙者權利而努力的社運人士佔據了一棟聯邦建築，為期將近一個月的時間，要求更多的無障礙空間。在這場個人化且振奮人心的演講中，霍伊曼說出了抗議背後的故事——並提醒我們，四十年過去了，還有未完成的工作要做。

我想，就是在這個時期，
我家人開始真正了解到，

what disability meant to some people:

對某些人而言，
身心障礙意味著什麼：

恐懼。

00:55
And it wasn't even a sure thing
that I would live at home,
that I would live at home,
12
43080
4296
當時甚至不確定我會住在家裡，
00:59
although I didn't learn about this
until I was 36 years old.
until I was 36 years old.
13
47400
3336
我在 36 歲時才知道這件事。
有一天晚上，我和我父親在討論，
01:02
I was having a discussion
with my father one night,
with my father one night,
14
50760
2896
他說：「你知道嗎，當你兩歲時，
01:05
and he said, "You know,
when you were two years old,
when you were two years old,
15
53680
3016
01:08
one of the doctors
suggested to your mom and I
suggested to your mom and I
16
56720
2416
有一位醫生建議你媽媽和我
把你送到一間機構，
01:11
that you live in an institution,
17
59160
2936
這麼一來，他們（我父母）
就可以繼續過生活，
就可以繼續過生活，
01:14
that they could just
go ahead with their lives
go ahead with their lives
18
62120
2856
養育他們的孩子，
01:17
and raise their kids
19
65000
1256
01:18
and kind of be done with having to deal
with all the disability-related things.
with all the disability-related things.
20
66280
5016
不用再煩心處理所有
和殘疾相關的事務了。」
和殘疾相關的事務了。」
我那時不相信我父親說的，
並不是因為我認為他騙我，
並不是因為我認為他騙我，
01:23
I didn't believe my father,
not because he was a liar,
not because he was a liar,
21
71320
4096
但我從來沒有聽過這件事，
01:27
but I'd never heard this story,
22
75440
2336
其實我母親也證實了此事。
01:29
and my mother in fact validated that.
23
77800
2296
她只是一直不想告訴我。
01:32
She never wanted to tell me.
24
80120
2136
但實際上，我不知道為什麼
這個故事會讓我這麼驚訝，
這個故事會讓我這麼驚訝，
01:34
But in reality, I don't know why
I was really surprised by this story,
I was really surprised by this story,
25
82280
4536
因為當我 5 歲時，
01:38
because when I was five years old,
26
86840
2776
01:41
and my mother, like mothers and fathers
all across the United States,
all across the United States,
27
89640
4256
和美國各地的所有父母親一樣，
01:45
was taking me to school to enroll,
28
93920
2776
我母親帶我去學校辦入學，
01:48
she pushed my wheelchair to the school
in walking distance to our house,
in walking distance to our house,
29
96720
4336
她用輪椅把我推到
走路就可以到的學校裡。
走路就可以到的學校裡。
01:53
pulled the wheelchair
up the steps into the school,
up the steps into the school,
30
101080
3096
她把輪椅拉上階梯，進入學校，
01:56
and we were greeted by the principal.
31
104200
2176
校長在那裡歡迎我們。
01:58
Not really greeted.
32
106400
1856
其實不算是歡迎。
02:00
But the principal said,
no, I couldn't come to that school
no, I couldn't come to that school
33
108280
4576
校長說，不行，我不能上那間學校，
02:04
because it wasn't accessible.
34
112880
2696
因為學校不方便讓輪椅進出。
02:07
But he told us not to worry,
35
115600
2376
但他叫我們不要擔心，
02:10
because the Board of Education in fact
would send a teacher to my house.
would send a teacher to my house.
36
118000
5176
因為教育局會派一位老師到我家。
02:15
And they did
37
123200
1816
結果的確派了，
02:17
for a total of two and a half hours
38
125040
3695
老師來的時數總共兩個半小時，
02:20
a week.
39
128759
1217
每週一次。
02:22
(Audience murmurs)
40
130000
1256
（觀眾私語）
02:23
But for good behavior,
41
131280
2056
但因為我行為表現良好，
02:25
they threw in an occupational therapist
42
133360
3016
他們也派了一位職業治療師來我家
02:28
who taught me that very essential skill
43
136400
2856
教我非常重要的技能：
02:31
of cross-stitching.
44
139280
1440
十字繡。
02:33
(Laughter)
45
141280
1256
（笑聲）
02:34
I don't cross-stitch today.
46
142560
1336
我今天不會做十字繡給大家看。
02:35
(Laughter)
47
143920
2376
（笑聲）
02:38
I didn't actually get to go to school
in a real building
in a real building
48
146320
3696
我一直沒在校舍裡上過學，
02:42
until I was nine years old,
49
150040
2136
直到我九歲，
02:44
and then I was in classes
only with disabled children
only with disabled children
50
152200
3176
我才進到只有身心障礙學生的班級，
02:47
in a school that had
mainly nondisabled children.
mainly nondisabled children.
51
155400
3216
而那間學校大多數的學生
是沒有身心障礙的孩子。
是沒有身心障礙的孩子。
02:50
And in my classes,
52
158640
1856
在我班上，
02:52
there were students up to the age of 21.
53
160520
3200
學生的年齡在 21 歲以下。
02:56
And then, after 21,
54
164840
1856
21 歲以後，
02:58
they went to something
called sheltered workshops
called sheltered workshops
55
166720
3336
他們會去所謂的庇護工廠
03:02
with menial work
56
170080
1616
做卑賤的工作，
03:03
and earning either nothing
or below minimum wage.
or below minimum wage.
57
171720
3200
薪水低於最低薪資，甚至無薪。
03:07
So I understood discrimination.
58
175480
3096
所以，我那時就了解到歧視。
03:10
My parents understood discrimination.
59
178600
2776
我父母了解到歧視。
03:13
My parents came from Germany.
60
181400
2616
我父母來自德國。
03:16
They were German Jews
who left in the 1930s,
who left in the 1930s,
61
184040
3696
他們是猶太裔德國人，
在 30 年代離開德國，
在 30 年代離開德國，
03:19
escaping the Holocaust.
62
187760
1480
為了逃離種族大屠殺。
03:21
My parents lost family
and they lost parents.
and they lost parents.
63
189920
3416
我父母失去了家，失去了雙親。
03:25
Both my parents lost
their parents in the Holocaust.
their parents in the Holocaust.
64
193360
3776
我的父親及母親
各自的雙親都死於大屠殺。
各自的雙親都死於大屠殺。
03:29
And so they realized
65
197160
2176
所以他們了解到，
03:31
that they could not be silent
66
199360
2096
當我的人生中遇到不對的事情時，
03:33
as things were going wrong
for me in my life.
for me in my life.
67
201480
2680
他們不能沉默。
03:36
Not me personally,
68
204920
1376
不是我個人犯錯，
03:38
but what was going on around me.
69
206320
2336
而是我周圍發生的事情出錯。
03:40
They learned that because
I used a wheelchair,
I used a wheelchair,
70
208680
3296
他們被告知，因為我坐輪椅，
03:44
none of the high schools
in New York City, in the entire city,
in New York City, in the entire city,
71
212000
3816
而紐約市整個城市裡，
03:47
were wheelchair accessible,
72
215840
1896
沒有一間高中能讓輪椅進出。
03:49
so what was supposed to happen
73
217760
2496
所以，應該要做的是
03:52
is I was supposed to go
back onto home instruction
back onto home instruction
74
220280
3256
讓我在家裡接受居家輔導，
03:55
along with many other students.
75
223560
2536
許多其他身心障礙學生也一樣。
03:58
So my parents banded together
with other parents.
with other parents.
76
226120
5176
所以，我父母和其他父母團結起來。
04:03
They went to the Board of Education
77
231320
2096
他們去教育部，
04:05
and they demanded that the Board of Ed
make some of the high schools accessible.
make some of the high schools accessible.
78
233440
4496
要求教育部讓一些高中
具備無障礙設施。
具備無障礙設施。
04:09
And they did.
79
237960
1656
他們也照做了。
04:11
And so I and many others
80
239640
2376
所以我和許多其他人
04:14
were finally able to go to high school,
a regular high school,
a regular high school,
81
242040
3896
終於能夠去進入高中，一般的高中，
04:17
and take regular classes.
82
245960
1600
上一般的課。
04:20
So what happened next?
83
248520
2200
接下來發生了什麼事？
04:23
I was learning more and more
about what discrimination was,
about what discrimination was,
84
251440
3416
我學到了越來越多的歧視，
04:26
and equally important, I was learning
that I needed to become my own advocate.
that I needed to become my own advocate.
85
254880
4280
同樣重要的是，我學到
我必須爲我自己抗爭。
我必須爲我自己抗爭。
04:31
I was entering college,
Long Island University,
Long Island University,
86
259920
3456
我上了大學，長島大學，
04:35
and I had always wanted to be a teacher,
87
263400
2416
我一直都想要當老師，
04:37
and so I minored in education
and I took all the appropriate courses,
and I took all the appropriate courses,
88
265840
5216
所以我副修教育，
能選的課我都選了，
能選的課我都選了，
04:43
and then when it was time
for me to go for my license,
for me to go for my license,
89
271080
3896
接著，到了我考教師證照的時候，
04:47
I had to take a written exam,
90
275000
2656
我需要參加一場筆試、
04:49
an oral exam
91
277680
1656
一場口試，
04:51
and a medical exam.
92
279360
1936
還有體檢。
04:53
At that time, all three of those exams
93
281320
3216
那時 ，所有三項考試
04:56
were given in completely
inaccessible buildings,
inaccessible buildings,
94
284560
3656
都在我完全無法
進入的建築物中進行，
進入的建築物中進行，
05:00
so I had friends who carried me
up and down the steps
up and down the steps
95
288240
4256
所以我請朋友扛著我上下樓梯，
05:04
for these exams,
96
292520
1576
以參加那些考試，
05:06
not in a motorized wheelchair.
97
294120
1656
而不是坐電動輪椅。
05:07
(Laughter)
98
295800
1016
（笑聲）
05:08
In a manual wheelchair.
99
296840
1480
我坐的是人工輪椅。
05:11
But I passed my oral exam.
100
299440
2776
我通過了口試。
05:14
I passed my written exam.
101
302240
2160
我通過了筆試。
05:16
My medical exam was something
completely different.
completely different.
102
304960
3680
我的體檢就完全不同。
05:21
One of the first questions
the doctor asked me
the doctor asked me
103
309600
3136
醫生問我的第一個問題是，
05:24
was, could I please show her
how I went to the bathroom.
how I went to the bathroom.
104
312760
5280
我能不能示範給她看，
我如何上廁所。
我如何上廁所。
05:31
I was 22 years old
105
319720
1976
我那時 22 歲，
05:33
and you know when you go
for any kind of an interview,
for any kind of an interview,
106
321720
2576
你們知道，
當你要去任何一種面談前，
當你要去任何一種面談前，
05:36
you think about all the kinds
of questions that people could ask you?
of questions that people could ask you?
107
324320
3256
你會先設想對方可能會
問你的各種問題，對嗎？
問你的各種問題，對嗎？
05:39
(Laughter)
108
327600
1696
（笑聲）
05:41
That was not one of them.
109
329320
1240
我沒想到那個問題。
05:43
And I was freaked out in the first place
110
331880
2576
我一聽到就呆住了，
05:46
because I had heard
111
334480
1456
因為我早已聽說
05:47
that there were actually
no disabled people using wheelchairs
no disabled people using wheelchairs
112
335960
3496
沒有任何坐輪椅的身障人士
05:51
who were teachers in New York,
113
339480
1656
在紐約市裡的學校教書，
05:53
so each step along the way
I was expecting something bad.
I was expecting something bad.
114
341160
4176
所以在一路上的每一步，
我都預想了不好的結果。
我都預想了不好的結果。
05:57
So I said to her,
115
345360
1896
所以我對她說，
05:59
is it a requirement
that teachers show their students
that teachers show their students
116
347280
2496
老師一定要向他們的學生展示
06:01
how to go to the bathroom?
117
349800
1280
如何去上廁所嗎？
06:04
If it is, I can do that.
118
352200
2000
如果有這種要求，我可以做。
06:07
So no surprise,
119
355400
2216
不意外地，
06:09
I was failed
120
357640
1736
我沒拿到教師證照，
06:11
because I didn't pass the medical.
121
359400
2416
因為我的體檢沒有通過。
06:13
The official reason
that I was denied my job
that I was denied my job
122
361840
3296
他們拒絕給我這份
證照的官方理由是，
證照的官方理由是，
06:17
was paralysis of poliomyelitis
sequelae of -- I'm sorry.
sequelae of -- I'm sorry.
123
365160
6816
小兒麻痺癱瘓，源於——抱歉是
06:24
Paralysis of both lower limbs,
sequelae of poliomyelitis.
sequelae of poliomyelitis.
124
372000
4536
雙下肢癱瘓，源於小兒麻痺。
06:28
Honestly, I didn't know
what the word "sequelae" meant,
what the word "sequelae" meant,
125
376560
2616
老實說，我不知道「源於」
這個詞是什麼意思。
這個詞是什麼意思。
所以，我去查字典，
它的意思是「因...所造成」。
它的意思是「因...所造成」。
06:31
so I went to the dictionary,
and it meant "because of."
and it meant "because of."
126
379200
3296
06:34
So I'd been denied my license
because I couldn't walk.
because I couldn't walk.
127
382520
3200
因為我無法走路，
所以他們拒絕給我證照。
所以他們拒絕給我證照。
06:38
So what was I going to do?
128
386600
2576
那時我該做什麼呢？
06:41
This is a really important
time in my life,
time in my life,
129
389200
3056
這是我人生中非常重要的時點，
06:44
because it would be the first time
130
392280
1936
因為那會是我第一次
06:46
that I really would be
challenging the system, me,
challenging the system, me,
131
394240
4496
真的去挑戰體制，我自己。
06:50
and although I was working with a lot
of other friends who had disabilities
of other friends who had disabilities
132
398760
3736
雖然許多和我一起奮鬥
也有身心障礙的朋友
也有身心障礙的朋友
06:54
who were encouraging me
to move forward with this,
to move forward with this,
133
402520
2576
都鼓勵我去做，
06:57
it was nonetheless quite frightening.
134
405120
2576
但我還是挺害怕。
06:59
But I was really very lucky.
135
407720
1576
不過我非常幸運。
07:01
I had a friend who was a disabled student
at Long Island University

我有位朋友，
他曾是長島大學的身心障礙學生，

07:05
and was also a stringer
at the "New York Times,"
at the "New York Times,"
137
413560
3256
也是《紐約時報》的特約記者，
07:08
and he was able to get a reporter
138
416840
2656
他找了一位記者
07:11
to write a really good piece
about what had happened
about what had happened
139
419520
3896
針對發生在我身上的事情，
寫了一篇很棒的報導，
寫了一篇很棒的報導，
07:15
and why he thought
what had happened was wrong.
what had happened was wrong.
140
423440
2400
包括為什麼他認為這種事是錯的。
07:18
The next day there was an editorial
in the "New York Times"
in the "New York Times"
141
426600
4536
隔天，《紐約時報》刊出了一篇社論，
07:23
with the title of
"Human v. The Board of Education"
"Human v. The Board of Education"
142
431160
3296
標題是「霍伊曼對教育部」，
07:26
and the "New York Times"
came out in support
came out in support
143
434480
2296
《紐約時報》公開支持我
07:28
of my getting my teaching license.
144
436800
2096
取得我的教師證照。
07:30
(Applause)
145
438920
3896
（掌聲）
07:34
And then the same day,
146
442840
1336
接著，同一天，
07:36
I got a call from an attorney
who was writing a book about civil rights.
who was writing a book about civil rights.
147
444200
4856
一位律師打電話給我，
他在寫一本關於公民人權的書。
他在寫一本關於公民人權的書。
07:41
And he was calling me to interview me,
148
449080
3296
他打電話來要訪問我，
07:44
and I was interviewing him.
149
452400
2176
而我也同時訪問他。
07:46
He didn't know that.
150
454600
1296
但他並不知情。
07:47
And at the end of our discussion, I said,
151
455920
2736
在我們討論的尾聲，我說：
07:50
"Would you be willing to represent me?
I want to sue the Board of Education."
I want to sue the Board of Education."
152
458680
3936
「你願不願意代表我？
我想要告教育部。」
我想要告教育部。」
07:54
And he said yes.
153
462640
1616
他答應了。
07:56
Now, sometimes I say that the stars
were aligned around this court case,
were aligned around this court case,
154
464280
5536
有時我會說，這件法庭
案件真是有老天眷顧，
案件真是有老天眷顧，
08:01
because we had an amazing judge:
155
469840
3456
因為我們有位很棒的法官：
08:05
the first African American
female federal judge --
female federal judge --
156
473320
5216
第一位非裔美國女性聯邦法官——
08:10
(Laughter)
157
478560
1656
（笑聲）
08:12
Constance Baker Motley.
158
480240
2496
康斯坦斯·貝克·莫特利。
08:14
(Applause)
159
482760
5936
（掌聲）
08:20
And she knew discrimination
when she saw it.
when she saw it.
160
488720
3936
當有歧視時，她馬上看得出來。
08:24
(Laughter)
161
492680
2576
（笑聲）
08:27
So she strongly encouraged the Board of Ed
162
495280
3976
所以她強烈鼓勵教育部
08:31
to give me another medical exam,
163
499280
3296
再讓我做一次體檢，
08:34
which they did.
164
502600
1696
他們照做了。
08:36
And then I got my license,
165
504320
3016
然後我就拿到了證照。
08:39
and while it took a number of months
166
507360
1736
雖然花了好幾個月
08:41
for me to actually get a principal
to offer me a job,
to offer me a job,
167
509120
3056
才有一位校長願意給我一份工作，
08:44
I finally did get a job
and I started teaching that fall
and I started teaching that fall
168
512200
3896
但我終於得到了一份工作。
那年秋天我開始在
那間我曾就讀的學校教書，
那間我曾就讀的學校教書，
08:48
in the same school that I had gone to,
169
516120
2936
08:51
second grade.
170
519080
1200
我教的是二年級。
08:53
So --
171
521400
1216
所以——
08:54
(Applause)
172
522640
3536
（掌聲）
08:58
That's a whole other TED Talk.
173
526200
1576
那是另一場 TED 演講了。
08:59
(Laughter)
174
527800
1616
（笑聲）
09:01
But I was learning as my friends were,
175
529440
4056
我和我的朋友們，
以及全國各地我不認識的
身心障礙人士學習到
身心障礙人士學習到
09:05
and people I didn't know
around the country,
around the country,
176
533520
2496
09:08
that we had to be our own advocates,
177
536040
3256
我們必須爲自己抗爭，
09:11
that we needed to fight back people's view
178
539320
4256
我們必須反擊大眾的想法：
09:15
that if you had a disability,
you needed to be cured,
you needed to be cured,
179
543600
3336
如果你有身心障礙，
你就需要被治療，
你就需要被治療，
09:18
that equality was not
part of the equation.
part of the equation.
180
546960
3056
以及身心障礙人士
和大眾是不平等的觀點。
和大眾是不平等的觀點。
09:22
And we were learning
from the Civil Rights Movement
from the Civil Rights Movement
181
550040
3296
我們借鏡於民權運動
09:25
and from the Women's Rights Movement.
182
553360
2136
和女權運動。
09:27
We were learning from them
about their activism
about their activism
183
555520
3176
我們學習他們的主動精神，
09:30
and their ability to come together,
184
558720
2016
以及他們如何團結在一起，
09:32
not only to discuss problems
185
560760
2736
不只是討論問題，
09:35
but to discuss solutions.
186
563520
1936
還要討論解決方案。
09:37
And what was born is what we call today
the Disability Rights Movement.
the Disability Rights Movement.
187
565480
4400
這些行動產生了現今我們所知的
「身心障礙者權利運動」。
「身心障礙者權利運動」。
09:42
So I'd like to tell you
a couple of riddles.
a couple of riddles.
188
570800
2800
我想要問各位幾個謎題。
你們認為，需要多少人
09:46
How many people do you think it takes
189
574840
2240
09:50
to stop traffic on Madison Avenue
190
578080
3776
才能阻斷麥迪遜大道上的交通，
09:53
during rush hour in New York City?
191
581880
2536
而且是在紐約市的尖峰時刻？
09:56
Do you have a guess? How many?
192
584440
1616
你猜得到嗎？幾個人？
09:58
(Audience members shout out answers)
193
586080
1715
（觀眾喊出答案）
10:01
Fifty.
194
589360
1200
不對！需要 50 個人。
10:03
One would be too little.
195
591520
1200
1 個就太少了。
10:06
Fifty people.
196
594160
1256
需要 50 個人。
10:07
And there were no accessible paddy wagons,
197
595440
2736
因為沒有無障礙囚車，
10:10
so they had to just kind of deal with us.
198
598200
2736
所以他們必須與我們協商。
10:12
(Laughter)
199
600960
2296
（笑聲）
10:15
(Applause)
200
603280
1976
（掌聲）
10:17
But let me tell you another riddle.
201
605280
2336
我再說個謎題。
10:19
How many people does it take
to stop a bus in New York City
to stop a bus in New York City
202
607640
4696
需要多少人才能阻擋
紐約市的一台巴士，
紐約市的一台巴士，
10:24
when they refuse to let you on
because you're in a wheelchair?
because you're in a wheelchair?
203
612360
3560
如果他們因為你坐輪椅
而拒絕讓你上車？
而拒絕讓你上車？
10:29
One. That is the right answer.
204
617120
2376
1 個人。那是正確的答案。
10:31
So what you have to do though
205
619520
2896
不過，你要做的是
10:34
is take your wheelchair --
206
622440
1856
將你的輪椅——
10:36
(Laughter)
207
624320
2976
（笑聲）
10:39
Sidle in the right place
right in front of the steps
right in front of the steps
208
627320
3856
推到巴士的階梯前的某一個地方，
10:43
and give it a little push underneath,
209
631200
3336
向巴士底下稍稍一推，
10:46
and then their bus can't move.
210
634560
1776
那時巴士就動不了了。
10:48
(Laughter)
211
636360
3656
（笑聲）
10:52
Any of you who want
to learn how to do that,
to learn how to do that,
212
640040
3536
如果在座有人想學這個技巧，
10:55
talk to me after this.
213
643600
1216
演講後來找我。
10:56
(Laughter)
214
644840
1816
（笑聲）
10:58
In 1972, President Nixon
vetoed the Rehabilitation Act.
vetoed the Rehabilitation Act.
215
646680
6240
在 1972 年，尼克森總統
否決了復健法案。
否決了復健法案。
11:05
We protested. He signed it.
216
653720
2640
我們抗爭後，他簽了這個法案。
11:09
Then the regulations that needed
to be promulgated to implement that law
to be promulgated to implement that law
217
657120
4976
接著，實施該法案所需要的相關規定
11:14
had not in fact been signed.
218
662120
2416
其實並沒有被簽署。
11:16
We demonstrated. They were signed.
219
664560
2360
我們示威後，那些規定就被簽了。
11:19
And when the Americans
With Disabilities Act, the ADA,
With Disabilities Act, the ADA,
220
667680
3856
當美國身心障礙人士法案，即 ADA，
11:23
our Emancipation Proclamation Act,
221
671560
3016
等同是我們的解放奴隸宣言法案，
11:26
looked as though it might not
in fact be passed in the House or Senate,
in fact be passed in the House or Senate,
222
674600
5416
看起來好像無法被參議院通過時，
11:32
disabled people from all across
the United States came together
the United States came together
223
680040
4256
美國各地的身心障礙人士集合在一起，
11:36
and they crawled up the Capitol steps.
224
684320
3560
他們爬上了美國國會大廈的階梯。
11:41
That was an amazing day,
225
689560
2736
那是很了不起的一天，
11:44
and the House and Senate passed the ADA.
226
692320
3480
參議院通過了 ADA。
11:48
And then President Bush signed the ADA.
227
696520
5456
然後布希總統簽署了 ADA。
11:54
It's a great picture.
228
702000
1576
這是張很棒的照片。
11:55
President Bush signed the ADA
on the lawn of the White House.
on the lawn of the White House.
229
703600
4056
布希總統在白宮的草坪上簽署 ADA。
11:59
It was an amazing day,
230
707680
1976
那是很了不起的一天，
12:01
and there are about 2,000 people there.
231
709680
2520
大約有 2000 人參加。
12:05
It was July 26, 1990.
232
713000
3960
時間是 1990 年 7 月 26 日。
12:09
And one of the most famous
statements he had in his speech
statements he had in his speech
233
717720
3696
在他的演講中，最有名的聲明之一是
12:13
was, "Let the shameful walls
of exclusion finally come tumbling down."
of exclusion finally come tumbling down."
234
721440
5600
「讓排擠人的可恥牆壁倒下吧。」
12:20
For any of you in the room
235
728000
2056
在座各位如果
12:22
who are 50 or older,
or maybe or even 40 or older,
or maybe or even 40 or older,
236
730080
3536
你的年紀在 50 歲以上，
甚至是在 40 歲以上，
甚至是在 40 歲以上，
12:25
you remember a time when
there were no ramps on the streets,
there were no ramps on the streets,
237
733640
3176
你們可能記得以前，街上沒有斜坡，
12:28
when buses were not accessible,
238
736840
2056
巴士不是無障礙的，
12:30
when trains were not accessible,
239
738920
1976
火車不是無障礙的，
12:32
where there were no wheelchair-accessible
bathrooms in shopping malls,
bathrooms in shopping malls,
240
740920
3816
購物中心沒有
供輪椅用的無障礙廁所，
供輪椅用的無障礙廁所，
12:36
where you certainly did not have
a sign language interpreter,
a sign language interpreter,
241
744760
3136
當然，也沒有手語翻譯員、
12:39
or captioning, or braille
or other kinds of supports.
or other kinds of supports.
242
747920
4176
字幕、點字，
或任何其他類型的協助。
或任何其他類型的協助。
12:44
These things have changed,
243
752120
1936
這些都已經改變了，
12:46
and they have inspired the world.
244
754080
2656
也鼓舞了世界。
12:48
And disabled people around the world
want laws like we have,
want laws like we have,
245
756760
4816
全世界的身心障礙人士
都想要有和我們一樣的法律，
都想要有和我們一樣的法律，
12:53
and they want those laws enforced.
246
761600
2240
且希望那些法律能被執行。
12:56
And so what we've seen is something called
247
764600
2816
所以我們看到的名為
12:59
the Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities.
of Persons with Disabilities.
248
767440
3280
「身心障礙者權利公約」，
13:03
It is a treaty that was adopted in 2006.
249
771160
3856
它是在 2006 年通過的協定，
13:07
It's celebrating is 10-year anniversary.
250
775040
3976
現在已經是第十週年了。
13:11
More than 165 countries
have joined this treaty.
have joined this treaty.
251
779040
4440
超過 165 國加入了這份協定。
13:16
It is the first international
human rights treaty
human rights treaty
252
784160
4096
它是第一份完全
以身心障礙人士為中心的
以身心障礙人士為中心的
13:20
fully focused on disabled people.
253
788280
2560
國際人權協定。
13:23
But I am sad to say that our US Senate
254
791520
4136
但，我很難過地告訴各位，
我們美國的參議院
我們美國的參議院
13:27
has failed to recommend to our president
that we ratify the treaty.
that we ratify the treaty.
255
795680
5256
沒有能夠向我們的總統
建議要正式批准這項協定。
建議要正式批准這項協定。
13:32
We signed it in 2009,
256
800960
2936
我們在 2009 年簽署這個協定，
13:35
but it doesn't come
into force until ratification,
into force until ratification,
257
803920
4216
但在沒有正式批准以前
是不會生效的。
是不會生效的。
13:40
and the president --
no president can ratify a treaty
no president can ratify a treaty
258
808160
3216
而總統——任何一位總統
若要批准一個法案，
若要批准一個法案，
13:43
without the consent of the Senate.
259
811400
2560
一定需要參議院的同意。
13:46
So we feel really strongly
260
814560
3456
所以我們非常堅決認為
13:50
that our US Senate needs to do its job,
261
818040
3536
美國參議院要盡它的本分，
13:53
that our Senate needs
to enable us as Americans
to enable us as Americans
262
821600
4176
我們的參議院必須要讓我們美國人
13:57
not only to be able to assist disabled
people and governments around the world
people and governments around the world
263
825800
5136
不僅能夠讓全世界的
身心障礙人士與政府
身心障礙人士與政府
14:02
to learn about the good work
that we've been doing,
that we've been doing,
264
830960
3856
看到並學到我們投入的努力。
14:06
but it's equally important
265
834840
2016
同樣重要的是，
14:08
that disabled people
have the same opportunities
have the same opportunities
266
836880
3816
要讓身心障礙人士有同樣的機會
14:12
to travel, study and work abroad
267
840720
3656
可以到國外旅行、讀書、工作，
14:16
as anyone else in our country.
268
844400
2376
就和我們國家中所有其他人一樣。
14:18
And as long as many countries
don't have the same laws as we do
don't have the same laws as we do
269
846800
4136
只要其他國家沒有
和我們一樣的法律，
和我們一樣的法律，
14:22
and don't enforce them if they have them,
270
850960
2616
或是有法律卻沒有執行，
14:25
opportunities for disabled people
are more limited.
are more limited.
271
853600
3080
身心障礙人士的機會就會更受限。
14:29
When I travel abroad,
272
857840
1936
當我出國時，
14:31
I am always meeting with disabled women,
273
859800
2816
我總是會和有身心障礙的女性見面，
14:34
and those women tell me stories
274
862640
2456
那些女性會告訴我
14:37
about how they experience
violence and rape
violence and rape
275
865120
4336
關於她們經歷過的
暴力和強暴的故事，
暴力和強暴的故事，
14:41
and how in many cases
these forms of violence
these forms of violence
276
869480
3656
以及在許多案例中，
這些形式的暴力行為

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Judith Heumann - Disability rights activistJudith Heumann is a lifelong advocate for the rights of disabled people.
Why you should listen
Judith (Judy) Heumann contracted polio in 1949 in Brooklyn, NY and began to experience discrimination at five years old when she was denied the right to attend school because she was a "fire hazard." Her parents played a strong role in fighting for her rights as a child. Heumann determined that she, working in collaboration with other disabled people, had to play an increasing advocacy role as she and others experienced continuous discrimination because of their disabilities. She is now an internationally recognized leader in the disability rights community and a lifelong civil rights advocate. As a Senior Fellow at the Ford Foundation, she is currently working to help advance the inclusion of disability in the Foundation’s work and is leading a project to advance the inclusion of disabled people in the media.
President Obama appointed Heumann as the first Special Advisor for International Disability Rights at the US Department of State, where she served from 2010-2017. Prior to this position, she served as the Director for the Department on Disability Services for the District of Columbia, where she was responsible for the Developmental Disability Administration and the Rehabilitation Services Administration.
From June 2002- 2006, Heumann served as the World Bank's first Adviser on Disability and Development. In this position, she led the World Bank's disability work to expand the Bank’s knowledge and capability to work with governments and civil society on including disability in the global conversation. From 1993 to 2001, Heumann served in the Clinton Administration as the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in the Department of Education. She was also responsible for the implementation of legislation at the national level for programs in special education, disability research, vocational rehabilitation and independent living, serving more than 8 million youth and adults with disabilities.
Heumann graduated from Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY in 1969 and received her Master’s in Public Health from the University of California at Berkeley in 1975. Her goal in life is to continue to advance the rights and empowerment of ALL disabled people around the world. She is also currently building an online presence through The Heumann Perspective which can found on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
