The reporting system that sexual assault survivors want | Jessica Ladd

Translator: Aida Zečkanović Reviewer: Ivan Stamenkovic

Hannah is excited to be going to college.

Hana je uzbuđena jer ide na faklutet.

She couldn't wait to get out of her parents' house,

Jedva je čekala, da ode iz kuče svojih roditelja,

to prove to them that she's an adult,

da im dokaže, da je odrasla

and to prove to her new friends that she belongs.

i da novim prijateljima pokaže, da je jedna od njih.

She heads to a campus party

Krene na žurku

where she sees a guy that she has a crush on.

i tamo sretne momka, koji joj se sviđa.

Let's call him Mike.

Recimo da mu je ime Majk.

The next day, Hannah wakes up with a pounding headache.

Sutradan se Hana probudi sa glavoboljom.

She can only remember the night in flashes.

Prošle noći se sjeća samo djelomično.

But what she does remember is

Ali ipak se sjeća

throwing up in the hall outside Mike's room

povraćanja izpred Majkove sobe

and staring at the wall silently while he was inside her,

i zurenja u zid u tišini, dok je on bio u njoj

wanting it to stop,

želeći, da prestane,

then shakily stumbling home.

a poslje toga drhtavog spoticanja kuči.

She doesn't feel good about what happened,

Zbog tih događaja se loše osječa

but she thinks, "Maybe this is just what sex in college is?"

ali pomisli: "Možda seks na fakultetu tako i treba izgledati?"

One in five women and one in 13 men will be sexually assaulted

Jedna između 5 žena i jedan između 13 muškaraca biti će seksualno zlostavljani

at some point during their college career in the United States.

za vrjeme njihovog pohađanja fakulteta u SAD-u.

Less than 10 percent will ever report their assault to their school

Manje od 10% će taj napad prijaviti svojoj školi

or to the police.

ili policiji.

And those who do, on average, wait 11 months to make the report.

A oni koji podnesu prijavu, to u prosjeku naprave 11 mjeseci posle tog događaja.

Hannah initially just feels like dealing with what happened on her own.

Na početku se želi Hana sama snositi sa tim što se joj dogodilo.

But when she sees Mike taking girls home from parties,

A kada vidi da Majk sa žurki odvodi druge cure,

she's worried about them.

zabrine se za njih.

After graduation, Hannah learns

Poslje diplome Hana sazna,

that she was one of five women who Mike did the exact same thing to.

da je bila jedna između 5 žena, kojima je Majk uradio istu stvar.

And this is not an unlikely scenario

A ovo i nije baš nevjerovatan scenario,

because 90 percent of sexual assaults

jer 90% seksualnih napada

are committed by repeat offenders.

izvrše ljudi koji su več prije počinili isto.

But with such low reporting rates,

Zbog niske stope prijavljivanja

it's fairly unlikely that even repeat perpetrators will be reported,

šanse da će biti prijavljenii čak i višestruki počinitelji su male.

much less anything happen if they are.

A još manje da če im se zbog toga šta dogoditi.

In fact, only six percent of assaults reported to the police

Zapravo samo 6% počinitelja prijavljenih napada,

end with the assailant spending a single day in prison.

provede i jedan dan u zatvoru.

Meaning, there's a 99 percent chance that they'll get away with it.

To znači, da če se 99% počinitelja izvuči bez kazne.

This means there's practically no deterrent to assault

Napadač se zato praktički nema čega bojati ako izvrši seksualni napad

in the United States.

u SAD-u.

Now, I'm an infectious disease epidemiologist by training.

Ja sam po obuci epidemiolog za zarazne bolesti.

I'm interested in systems and networks

Zanimaju me sistemi i mreže

and where we can concentrate our resources to do the most good.

i gdje možemo fokusirati naše resurse, da učinimo najviše dobra.

So this, to me, is a tragic but a solvable problem.

Zato je za mene ovo tragičan ali rješiv problem.

So when the issue of campus assault started hitting the news a few years ago,

Kada se je problem sveučilišnih silovanja prije par godina pojavijo na vjestima,

it felt like a unique opportunity to make a change.

sam ja to shvatila kao jedinstvenu priliku, da nešto promjenimo.

And so we did.

I to smo i uradili.

We started by talking to college survivors.

Popričali smo sa žrtvama napada.

And what they wish they'd had in college is pretty simple;

I one se zapravo željele nešto sasvim jednostavno:

they wanted a website,

htjele su internetnu stranicu,

one they could use at the time and place

koju bi mogle upotrijebiti kadgod i gdjegod

that felt safest to them

bi se osjećale najsigurnije,

with clearly written information about their reporting options,

stranicu na kojoj bi mogle nači jasne podatke o opcijama za podnošenje prijave

with the ability to electronically report their assault,

i gdje bi mogle prijavu podnjeti elektronskim putem,

rather than having the first step

umjesto, da moraju

to go in and talk to someone who may or may not believe them.

sve ispričati nekome, tko im možda ne bi ni vjerovao.

With the option to create a secure, timestamped document

Htjele su šansu, da stvore dokument sa vrjemenskom oznakom

of what happened to them,

o tom događaju

preserving evidence even if they don't want to report yet.

i sačuvaju dokaze čak iako još nisu spremne za prijavu.

And lastly, and perhaps most critically,

A možda i najbitnije,

with the ability to report their assault

htjele su opciju, da napad prijave

only if someone else reported the same assailant.

samo ako i netko drugi prijavi istog počinitelja.

You see, knowing that you weren't the only one changes everything.

Znate, svijest da nisi sam promjeni sve.

It changes the way you frame your own experience,

Promjeni način na koji shvačaš svoj doživljaj,

it changes the way you think about your perpetrator,

promjeni način na koji razmišljaš o svome napadaču,

it means that if you do come forward,

znači da ćeš se, ako se ohrabriš,

you'll have someone else's back and they'll have yours.

brinuti za nekoga, a oni za tebe.

We created a website that actually does this

Mi smo stvorili baš takvu internetnu stranicu

and we launched it [...] in August,

i u avgustu smo je pokrenuli

on two college campuses.

na dvijema kampusima.

And we included a unique matching system

A uključili smo i sistem za spajanje odgovarajućih prijava.

where if Mike's first victim had come forward,

Ako Majkova prva žrtva prijavi zločin,

saved her record, entered into the matching system

u sistem za spajanje unesla svoj izkaz

and named Mike,

i napiše Majkovo ime

and Mike's second victim had done the same thing

i ako njegova druga žrtva napravi istu stvar

a few months later,

nakon nekoliko mjeseci,

they would have matched

sistem bi ih sparijo

and the verified contact information of both survivors

i istovremeno poslao njihove podatke

would have been sent to the authorities at the same time

policiji,

for investigation and follow up.

koja bi istražila njihov slučaj.

If a system like this had existed for Hannah and her peers,

Kad bi taj sistem postojao kod Hane i njenih vršnjakinja,

it's more likely that they would have reported,

vjerovatnije bi bilo, da bi zločin prijavile,

that they would have been believed,

da bi im ljudi povjerovali

and that Mike would have been kicked off campus,

i da bi Majka izbacili iz kampusa,

gone to jail, or at least gotten the help that he needed.

da bi otišao u zatvor ili barem dobio potrebnu pomoć.

And if we were able to stop repeat offenders like Mike

A kada bi mogli zaustaviti višestruke počinitelje, kao što je Majk,

after just their second assault following a match,

poslje njihovog drugog napada, kad bi sistem sparijo prijave,

survivors like Hannah would never even be assaulted

cure kao Hana nikad ne bi

in the first place.

ni bile silovane.

We could prevent 59 percent of sexual assaults

Mogli bi smo spriječiti 59% seksualnih napada

just by stopping repeat perpetrators earlier on.

samo tako, da bi ranije zaustavili višestruke počinitelje.

And because we're creating a real deterrent to assault,

Jer bi napadači znali, da će morati snositi posljedice

for perhaps the first time,

možda po prvi put,

maybe the Mikes of the world would never even try to assault anyone.

muškarci kao što je Majk, ne bi nikoga ni pokušali napasti.

The type of system I'm describing,

Opisujem vam sistem

the type of system that survivors want

kakav preživljeli žele.

is a type of information escrow,

To je depozit za informacije

meaning an entity that holds on to information for you

i znači, da sistem zadrži tvoje informacije

and only releases it to a third party

i prosljedi ih policiji samo

when certain pre-agreed upon conditions are met,

ako su izpunjeni određeni unaprijed dogovoreni uvjeti,

such as a match.

na primjer par prijava.

The application that we built is for college campuses.

Aplikacija koju smo stvorili namijenjena je sveučilištima.

But the same type of system could be used in the military

Ali isti sistem bi mogli upotrjebiti u vojski

or even the workplace.

ili čak na radnom mjestu.

We don't have to live in a world

Ne moramo živjetu u svjetu

where 99 percent of rapists get away with it.

gdje 99% silovatelja nikad nije kažnjenih.

We can create one

Možemo stvoriti svjet

where those who do wrong are held accountable,

gdje oni koji počine kriminalno djelo, snose i posljedice,

where survivors get the support and justice they deserve,

gdje preživljeli dobiju podršku i pravdu koju zaslužuju,

where the authorities get the information they need,

gdje policija dobije informacije koje treba

and where there's a real deterrent

i gdje postoji nešto, da zastraši

to violating the rights of another human being.

ljude, da ne krše prava drugih ljudskih bića.

Thank you.

Hvala
