ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Özlem Cekic - Bridge builder, author
Born in Turkey with Kurdish roots, Özlem Sara Cekic was one of the first women with a Muslim immigrant background to be elected to the Danish Parliament, where she served from 2007 to 2015.

Why you should listen

During her time as a member of Folketing, the Danish Parliament, Özlem Cekic's inbox was inundated with hate mail and threats. She first responded by deleting the emails, but then she started replying and inviting those who had sent her abusive messages to meet and engage in dialogue. She calls it #dialoguecoffee, as the meetings generally happen over coffee, and usually at the home of the person who wrote the message. She has met neo-Nazis, racists and religious extremists as she works to try to understand the origin of the hate, find a common language and develop a toolkit for building bridges.

從 2007 年起,歐茲蘭賽奇克的電子郵件收件匣中就滿滿都是攻擊性信件,因為2007 年她在丹麥國會中贏得了一席——成為第一位女性穆斯林成員。一開始,她只是把信件刪除,認為那是狂熱者做的事,不理會。直到有一天,有位朋友給了她沒預期的建議:去接觸寫攻擊性信件的人,邀請他們見面喝杯咖啡。在經過了數百場「對話咖啡」會面之後,賽奇克分享了為什麼若要解除仇恨,面對面的交談會是最強大的工具——並挑戰大家,去和自己不認同的人互動。

我是第一個少數族群
背景的女性候選人。
00:54
I was elected當選,

並非人人都對這件事感到高興,
00:59
as I had to quickly很快 get used

12
47560
5200
我得要很快適應在我的

Those emails電子郵件 would begin開始
with something like this:
13
54840
4096
那些信件的開頭可能是這樣的:
01:10
"What's a raghead拉格海德 like you
doing in our parliament議會?"
14

「你這種用破布裏頭的人
在我們的國會裡幹什麼?」

我從來沒有回應。
01:16
I'd just delete刪除 the emails電子郵件.
16
64640
2096
我只會把信件刪除。
01:18
I just thought that the senders發送
and I had nothing in common共同.
17
66760
4160
我只是認為,
寄件者和我完全沒有交集。
01:23
They didn't understand理解 me,
18
71920
2016
他們不了解我,
01:25

Then one day, one of my colleagues同事
in the parliament議會 said

1736
(笑聲)
01:41
I noticed注意到 that she said,
"When something happens發生" and not "if."
24
89880

發生了什麼事」而非「如果」。
01:46
(Laughter笑聲)
25
94160

(笑聲)
01:48
Sometimes有時 hateful可惡 letters

有時,攻擊性信件也會
寄到我家的地址。
01:53
The more I became成為 involved參與
in public上市 debate辯論,
27
101440
3536
我涉入越多公開辯論,
01:57
the more hate討厭 mail郵件 and threats威脅 I received收到.
28
105000
2600
我就會收到越多攻擊性信件及威脅。
02:01
After a while, I got a secret秘密 address地址
29
109080
2496
一陣子之後,
我弄了一個秘密地址,
02:03

to protect保護 my family家庭.
30
111600
3320
且我得要做額外的預防,
來保護我的家人。
02:09
Then in 2010, a Nazi納粹 began開始 to harass騷擾 me.
31
117840
3936
接著,2010 年,
一個納粹開始騷擾我。
02:13
It was a man who had attacked襲擊
Muslim穆斯林 women婦女 on the street.
32
121800
3480
這個人曾經在街上攻擊穆斯林女性。
02:18
Over time, it became成為 much worse更差.
33
126320
2840
隨時間過去,狀況越來越糟。
02:22
I was at the zoo動物園 with my children孩子,
and the phone電話 was ringing鈴聲 constantly經常.
34
130479
4721
我帶孩子去動物園時,
電話響個不停。
02:28
It was the Nazi納粹.
35
136240
1280
是那個納粹打的。
02:30
I had the impression印象 that he was close.
36
138560
2976
我覺得他就在附近。
02:33
We headed當家 home.
37
141560
1200
我們啟程回家。
02:35
When we got back,
38
143800
1776
當我們回去後,
02:37
my son兒子 asked, "Why does
he hate討厭 you so much, Mom媽媽,
39
145600
5976
我兒子問:
「媽,他為什麼這麼恨你?
02:43
when he doesn't even know you?"
40
151600
1920
他甚至不認識你?」
02:47
"Some people are just stupid," I said.
41
155960
1960
我說:「有些人就是很蠢。」
02:50
And at the time, I actually其實 thought
that was a pretty漂亮 clever聰明 answer回答.
42
158800
3520
那時,我還心想
那是個很聰明的回答。
02:55
And I suspect疑似 that that is the answer回答
most of us would give.
43
163520
3240
我猜,那也是大部分人會給的答案。
02:59
The others其他 --
44
167560
1200
其他人——
03:01
they are stupid, brainwashed洗腦, ignorant愚昧.
45
169600
2920
他們很蠢、被洗腦了、很無知。
03:05
We are the good guys
and they are the bad guys, period.
46
173640
3720
我們是好人,他們是壞人,
就這麼簡單。
03:11
Several一些 weeks later後來
I was at a friend's朋友的 house,
47
179200
2416

抱怨我所遇到的
所有仇恨和種族主義。
03:20
It was he who suggested建議
that I should call them up
49
188840
3016
是那位朋友建議我應該
打電話給他們,並拜訪他們。
03:23
and visit訪問 them.
50

我說:「他們會殺了我。」
03:29
"They would never attack攻擊 a member會員
of the Danish丹麥 Parliament議會," he said.
52
197560
3536
他說:「他們絕對不會
攻擊丹麥國會成員的。」
03:33
"And anyway無論如何, if they killed殺害 you,
you would become成為 a martyr烈士."
53
201120

你也會變成烈士。」
03:37
(Laughter笑聲)

是怎樣都贏的局面。」
03:41
(Laughter笑聲)
56
209920
2240
(笑聲)
03:45
His advice忠告 was so unexpected意外,
57
213880
2776
我完全沒料到他會這樣建議,
03:48
when I got home,
58
216680
1256
我回家後,打開我的電腦,
03:49
I turned轉身 on my computer電腦
59
217960
1256
03:51
and opened打開 the folder
where I had saved保存 all the hate討厭 mail郵件.
60

04:23
To my surprise and shock休克,

讓我很意外和驚訝的是,
他接起了電話。
04:26

04:58
A couple一對 of days later後來,
we met會見 at his house.

3056
幾天後,我們在他家見面。
05:01
I will never forget忘記

2440
伸出手和我握手的那一刻。

05:10
(Laughter笑聲)
86

1216
(笑聲)
05:12
because he looked看著
nothing like I'd imagined想像.
87
300160
3080
因為他完全不是我想像的那樣子。
05:16
I had expected預期 a horrible可怕 person --
88
304400
2896
我預期他會是個很糟糕的人——
05:19
dirty, messy house.
89
307320
2136
骯髒、零亂的房子。
05:21
It was not.
90
309480
1240
並非如此。
05:23
His house smelled of coffee咖啡
91
311720
1776
他的房子有咖啡香,
05:25
which哪一個 was served提供服務 from a coffee咖啡 set
identical相同 to the one my parents父母 used.
92
313520
4000
咖啡香來自他泡咖啡的那組用具,
且跟我父母用的是同一款。
05:30
I ended結束 up staying
for two and a half hours小時.
93
318760
2560
結果,我在那裡待了兩個半小時。
05:34
And we had so many許多 things in common共同.
94
322840
3120
我們有好多共通點。
05:39
Even our prejudices偏見 were alike一樣.
95
327120
2816
就連我們的偏見都很相近。
05:41
(Laughter笑聲)
96
329960
1896
(笑聲)
05:43
Ingolf因高爾夫 told me
that when he waits等待 for the bus總線
97
331880
3056
英格夫告訴我,當他在等公車時,
05:46
and the bus總線 stops停止 10 meters away from him,
98
334960
3456
公車在離他十公尺的地方停下來,
05:50
it was because the driver司機 was a "raghead拉格海德."
99
338440
2960
原因是因為司機是
「用破布裏頭的人」。
05:55
I recognized認可 that feeling感覺.
100
343120
1896
我認得這種感覺。
05:57
When I was young年輕
101
345040
1280
我年輕時,
05:59
and I waited等待 for the bus總線
102
347560
1496
我在等公車時,
它停在離我十公尺的地方。
06:01
and it stopped停止 10 meters away from me,
103
349080
2056
06:03
I was sure that the driver司機 was a racist種族主義者.
104
351160
2440
我很確定那司機是種族主義者。
06:09
When I got home,
105
357600
2096
當我回到家,
06:11
I was very ambivalent矛盾 about my experience經驗.
106
359720
2440
我對我的經歷感到十分矛盾。
06:15
On the one hand, I really liked喜歡 Ingolf因高爾夫.
107
363120
2600
一方面,我真的很喜歡英格夫。
06:18
He was easy簡單 and pleasant愉快 to talk to,
108
366920
3240
跟他說話很自在愉快,
06:23
but on the other hand,
109
371400
1576
但另一方面,
06:25
I couldn't不能 stand the idea理念
of having so much in common共同
110
373000
4696
我無法忍受想到和我
有如此多共通點的人,
06:29
with someone有人 who had
such這樣 clearly明確地 racist種族主義者 views意見.
111
377720
3200
卻也是個有這麼明顯
種族主義觀點的人。
06:36
Gradually逐漸,
112
384080
1216
漸漸地,且痛苦地,
06:37
and painfully痛苦,
113
385320
1696
06:39
I came來了 to realize實現
114
387040
1256
我開始了解到,
06:40
that I had been just as judgmental評判
of those who had sent發送 me hate討厭 mails郵件
115
388320
4880
我其實也在評斷那些
寄攻擊性信件給我的人,
06:46
as they had been of me.
116
394320
1760
就如同他們在評斷我一樣。
06:50
This was the beginning開始
of what I call #dialoguecoffee對話.
117
398640
4960
這件事開始了我所稱的
「#對話咖啡」。
06:56
Basically基本上, I sit down for coffee咖啡
118
404960
2096
基本上,我會和曾經對我說過
06:59
with people who have said
the most terrible可怕 things to me
119
407080
3816
最惡劣的話的人坐下來喝杯咖啡,
07:02
to try to understand理解
why they hate討厭 people like me
120
410920
3816
試圖了解為什麼他們
會恨像我這樣的人,
07:06
when they don't even know me.
121
414760
1840
即使他們根本不認識我。
07:10
I have been doing this
the last eight years年份.
122
418800
2360
我過去八年都一直在做這件事。
07:14
The vast廣大 majority多數 of people
I approach途徑 agree同意 to meet遇到 me.
123
422760
3416
我試圖聯絡的人,
絕大多數都同意跟我見面。
07:18
Most of them are men男人,
124
426200
1336
大部分是男性,
但我也曾經見過女性。
07:19
but I have also met會見 women婦女.
125
427560
1480
07:22
I have made製作 it a rule規則
to always meet遇到 them in their house
126
430000
3896
我訂下了一條規則,
都要在他們的家中和他們見面,
07:25
to convey傳達 from the outset開始
that I trust相信 them.
127
433920
2400
從一開端就傳達出我對他們的信任。
07:28
I always bring帶來 food餐飲
because when we eat together一起,
128
436960
3816
我總會帶食物,
因為當我們一起吃時,
07:32
it is easier更輕鬆 to find
what we have in common共同
129
440800
2416
就比較容易找到我們的共通點,
07:35
and make peace和平 together一起.
130
443240
1480
並一起言歸於好。
07:38
Along沿 the way, I have learned學到了
some valuable有價值 lessons教訓.
131
446480
4416
一路上,我學到了一些寶貴的經驗。
07:42
The people who sent發送
hate討厭 mails郵件 are workers工人,

我並不是說他們的
行為是可以接受的,
07:54
but I have learned學到了 to distance距離 myself
from the hateful可惡 views意見
136
462880
4736
但我已經學會了讓我自己遠離仇恨的看法,
卻不讓自己遠離表述那些看法的人。
07:59
without distancing疏離 myself from the person
who's誰是 expressing表達 those views意見.
137
467640

08:09
that the people I visit訪問 are just
as afraid害怕 of people they don't know
139
477320
4896
我拜訪的那些人
只是害怕他們不認識的人,
08:14
as I was afraid害怕 of them before
I started開始 inviting誘人的 myself for coffee咖啡.
140
482240

就如同在我開始要求
自己去喝咖啡之前,
我會很害怕他們一樣。
08:21

1936
08:34
that other people
are to blame for the hate討厭
146
502880
3136
仇恨、族群的概化,
都是其他人的錯,
08:38
and for the generalization概括 of groups.
147
506040
2256
08:40
They all believe that other people

2600
但當我問:「你自己呢?
08:55

08:57
the reply回复 is usually平時,

回答通常是:
08:59
"What can I do?
154
527600

我沒有權力。」
09:06
I know that feeling感覺.
157
534400
1936
我知道那種感覺。
09:08
For a large part部分 of my life,
158
536360
1616
我人生中很長一段時間也認為
09:10
I also thought that I didn't have
any power功率 or influence影響 --
159
538000
5976

國會的成員也一樣。

and influence影響 where we are,
162
550880
2896
不論我們在哪裡,
我們都有權力和影響力,
09:25
so we must必須 never,
163
553800
2416
所以我們永遠不可以,
09:28
never underestimate低估 our own擁有 potential潛在.
164
556240
3280
永遠不可以低估我們自己的潛力。
09:35

3160
那時,我的宗教觀點
是非常極端的。
09:54

We are living活的 in a world世界 where many許多 people
hold保持 definitive明確 and often經常 extreme極端 opinions意見

We notice注意 of course課程 the prejudices偏見
on the other side than in our own擁有 bases基地.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Özlem Cekic - Bridge builder, author
Born in Turkey with Kurdish roots, Özlem Sara Cekic was one of the first women with a Muslim immigrant background to be elected to the Danish Parliament, where she served from 2007 to 2015.

Why you should listen

During her time as a member of Folketing, the Danish Parliament, Özlem Cekic's inbox was inundated with hate mail and threats. She first responded by deleting the emails, but then she started replying and inviting those who had sent her abusive messages to meet and engage in dialogue. She calls it #dialoguecoffee, as the meetings generally happen over coffee, and usually at the home of the person who wrote the message. She has met neo-Nazis, racists and religious extremists as she works to try to understand the origin of the hate, find a common language and develop a toolkit for building bridges.
