How we can end sexual harassment at work | Gretchen Carlson

Translator: Júlia Ramírez Reviewer: Anna Comas-Quinn

"All I wanted was a much-deserved promotion,

"Només volia un ascens molt merescut,

and he told me to 'Get up on the desk

i em va dir que m'assegués a la taula

and spread 'em.'"

i m'obrís de cames".

"All the men in my office wrote down on a piece of paper

"Tots els homes de l'oficina van escriure en un paper

the sexual favors that I could do for them.

tots els favors sexuals que els podria fer.

All I had asked for was an office with a window."

Només havia demanat un despatx amb finestra".

"I asked for his advice about how I could get a bill out of committee;

"Li vaig demanar consell per aprovar un projecte de llei

he asked me if I brought my kneepads."

i em va preguntar si havia portat les genolleres".

Those are just a few of the horrific stories

Aquestes són algunes de les horribles històries

that I heard from women over the last year,

que m'han explicat dones aquest últim any,

as I've been investigating workplace sexual harassment.

mentre investigava l'assetjament sexual a la feina.

And what I found out

I vaig descobrir

is that it's an epidemic across the world.

que és una epidèmia mundial.

It's a horrifying reality for millions of women,

És una realitat horrible per a milions de dones,

when all they want to do every day

quan l'únic que volen és anar a treballar

is go to work.

cada dia.

Sexual harassment doesn't discriminate.

L'assetjament sexual no discrimina.

You can wear a skirt,

Pots dur faldilla,

hospital scrubs,

roba quirúrgica

army fatigues.

o roba militar.

You can be young or old,

Pots ser jove o vella,

married or single,

casada o soltera,

black or white.

blanca o negra.

You can be a Republican, a Democrat or an Independent.

Pots ser republicana, demòcrata o independent.

I heard from so many women:

Vaig escoltar moltes dones:

police officers,

policies,

members of our military,

membres de l'exèrcit,

financial assistants,

assessores financeres,

actors, engineers, lawyers,

actrius, enginyeres, advocades,

bankers, accountants, teachers ...

banqueres, comptables, professores...

journalists.

periodistes.

Sexual harassment, it turns out,

Resulta que l'assetjament sexual

is not about sex.

no és qüestió de sexe,

It's about power,

sinó de poder

and about what somebody does to you

i del que et fa algú

to try and take away your power.

per intentar prendre't el poder.

And I'm here today

Avui sóc aquí

to encourage you to know that you can take that power back.

per animar-vos a saber que podeu recuperar el poder.

(Applause)

(Aplaudiments)

On July 6, 2016,

El 6 de juliol de 2016

I jumped off a cliff all by myself.

vaig saltar d'un penya-segat jo sola.

It was the scariest moment of my life;

Va ser el moment més terrorífic de la meva vida,

an excruciating choice to make.

una decisió horrible.

I fell into an abyss all alone,

Em vaig llançar a l'abisme jo sola,

not knowing what would be below.

sense saber què hi havia a baix.

But then, something miraculous started to happen.

Però llavors va passar una cosa meravellosa:

Thousands of women started reaching out to me

centenars de dones van començar a contactar-me

to share their own stories of pain and agony and shame.

per compartir les seves històries de dolor, agonia i vergonya.

They told me that I became their voice --

Em van dir que em vaig convertir en la seva veu,

they were voiceless.

perquè elles no en tenien.

And suddenly, I realized that even in the 21st century,

I llavors em vaig adonar que, fins i tot al segle XXI,

every woman still has a story.

cada dona té una història.

Like Joyce,

Com la Joyce,

a flight attendant supervisor

supervisora d'auxiliars de vol,

whose boss, in meetings every day,

a qui el seu cap, cada dia,

would tell her about the porn that he'd watched the night before

li explicava el porno que havia mirat la nit abans

while drawing penises on his notepad.

mentre dibuixava penis a la llibreta.

She went to complain.

Quan es va queixar,

She was called "crazy" and fired.

li van dir boja i la van acomiadar.

Like Joanne, Wall Street banker.

Com la Joanne, banquera de Wall Street.

Her male colleagues would call her that vile c-word every day.

Els seus companys li deien la paraula que comença per "p" cada dia.

She complained --

Es va queixar

labeled a troublemaker,

i, titllada de problemàtica,

never to do another Wall Street deal again.

no va poder fer cap altre negoci a Wall Street.

Like Elizabeth, an army officer.

Com l'Elizabeth, oficial de l'exèrcit.

Her male subordinates would wave one-dollar bills in her face,

Els seus subordinats li passaven bitllets d'un dòlar per davant de la cara

and say, "Dance for me!"

i li deien que ballés per a ells.

And when she went to complain to a major,

Quan es va queixar al seu superior,

he said, "What? Only one dollar?

li va dir: "Com? Només un dòlar?

You're worth at least five or ten!"

Te'n mereixes almenys cinc o deu!"

After reading,

Després de llegir,

replying to all

respondre

and crying over all of these emails,

i plorar amb tots aquests correus,

I realized I had so much work to do.

em vaig adonar que tenia molta feina.

Here are the startling facts:

Els fets alarmants són aquests:

one in three women -- that we know of --

una de cada tres dones, que sapiguem,

have been sexually harassed in the workplace.

ha patit assetjament sexual a la feina.

Seventy-one percent of those incidences never get reported.

El 71 % dels casos no es denuncien mai.

Why?

Per què?

Because when women come forward,

Perquè les dones que ho fan públic

they're still called liars and troublemakers

són titllades de mentideres, problemàtiques,

and demeaned and trashed

són menyspreades i destrossades,

and demoted and blacklisted

degradades, posades a la llista negra

and fired.

i acomiadades.

Reporting sexual harassment can be, in many cases, career-ending.

Denunciar l'assetjament, pot acabar amb la teva carrera.

Of all the women that reached out to me,

De totes les dones que m'han contactat,

almost none are still today working in their chosen profession,

n'hi ha molt poques que encara ara treballin en l'àmbit que desitgen.

and that is outrageous.

I això és indignant.

I, too, was silent in the beginning.

Jo també vaig callar al principi.

It happened to me at the end of my year as Miss America,

Em va passar al final del meu any com a Miss America,

when I was meeting with a very high-ranking TV executive

en una reunió amb un executiu de televisió molt famós

a Nova York.

in New York City.

I thought he was helping me throughout the day,

Pensava que m'ajudava,

fent moltes trucades.

making a lot of phone calls.

We went to dinner,

Vam anar a sopar,

i al seient de darrere del cotxe, se'm va abalançar

and in the back seat of a car, he suddenly lunged on top of me

i em va ficar la llegua fins la gola.

and stuck his tongue down my throat.

I didn't realize that to "get into the business" -- silly me --

No sabia que per "anar per feina"... què beneita!

he also intended to get into my pants.

també pensava magrejar-me.

And just a week later,

I una setmana després,

when I was in Los Angeles meeting with a high-ranking publicist,

a Los Angeles, en una reunió amb un publicista,

it happened again.

em va tornar a passar.

Again, in a car.

Una altra vegada, al cotxe.

And he took my neck in his hand,

Em va agafar pel coll,

and he shoved my head so hard into his crotch,

i em va empènyer tant contra el seu entrecuix

I couldn't breathe.

que no podia respirar.

These are the events that suck the life out of all of your self-confidence.

Aquestes són les accions que et redueixen l'autoestima.

These are the events that, until recently,

Són accions que, fins fa poc,

I didn't even call assault.

ni tan sols anomenava agressió.

And this is why we have so much work to do.

Per això tenim tanta feina a fer.

After my year as Miss America,

Després de l'any com a Miss America,

I continued to meet a lot of well-known people,

vaig conèixer molta altra gent coneguda,

including Donald Trump.

inclòs Donald Trump.

When this picture was taken in 1988,

Quan ens van fer aquesta foto el 1988,

nobody could have ever predicted where we'd be today.

ningú podia preveure on seríem avui.

(Laughter)

(Riures)

Me, fighting to end sexual harassment in the workplace;

Jo lluitant per abolir l'assetjament sexual a la feina;

he, president of the United States

ell de president dels Estats Units

in spite of it.

malgrat tot.

And shortly thereafter, I got my first gig in television news

Poc després, em van donar la primera feina a les notícies

in Richmond, Virginia.

a Richmond, Virginia.

Check out that confident smile with the bright pink jacket.

Mireu el somriure confiat i la jaqueta rosa brillant.

Not so much the hair.

Obvieu el pentinat.

(Laughter)

(Riures)

I was working so hard to prove that blondes have a lot of brains.

M'esforçava tant a demostrar que les rosses tenim cervell.

But ironically, one of the first stories I covered

Però, irònicament, una de les meves primeres notícies

was the Anita Hill hearings in Washington, DC.

va ser l'audiència d'Anita Hill a Washington, DC.

And shortly thereafter,

I poc després,

I, too, was sexually harassed in the workplace.

jo també vaig patir assetjament sexual a la feina.

I was covering a story in rural Virginia,

Cobria una notícia a la Virginia rural

and when we got back into the car,

i quan vam tornar al cotxe,

my cameraman started saying to me,

el càmera em va començar a preguntar

wondering how much I had enjoyed when he touched my breasts

si havia gaudit quan m'havia tocat els pits

when he put the microphone on me.

per posar-me el micròfon.

And it went downhill from there.

I només era el començament.

I was bracing myself against the passenger door --

Em vaig agafar fort a la porta del cotxe,

this was before cellphones.

això era abans dels mòbils.

I was petrified.

Estava paralitzada.

I actually envisioned myself rolling outside of that door

M'imaginava rodant per la calçada,

as the car was going 50 miles per hour like I'd seen in the movies,

mentre el cotxe anava a 80 km/h, com a les pel·lícules,

and wondering how much it would hurt.

i em preguntava el mal que faria.

When the story about Harvey Weinstein came to light --

Quan la història de Harvey Weinstein va sortir a la llum,

one the most well-known movie moguls in all of Hollywood --

un dels magnats més coneguts de Hollywood,

the allegations were horrific.

les al·legacions eren horribles.

But so many women came forward,

Però moltes dones ho van fer públic,

and it made me realize what I had done meant something.

i em vaig adonar que havia fet alguna cosa de profit.

(Applause)

(Aplaudiments)

He had such a lame excuse.

La seva excusa va ser lamentable.

He said he was a product of the '60s and '70s,

Deia que era fill dels 60 i dels 70,

and that that was the culture then.

aquesta era la cultura llavors.

Yeah, that was the culture then,

Sí, llavors la cultura era aquesta,

and unfortunately, it still is.

i, per desgràcia, encara ho és.

Why?

Per què?

Because of all the myths

Per tots els mites

that are still associated with sexual harassment.

encara associats a l'assetjament sexual.

"Women should just take another job and find another career."

"Les dones haurien de buscar una altra feina i una altra carrera."

Yeah, right.

És clar.

Tell that to the single mom working two jobs,

Digues-ho a una mare soltera amb dues feines,

trying to make ends meet,

intentant sobreviure

who's also being sexually harassed.

i que pateix assetjament sexual.

"Women --

"Les dones

they bring it on themselves."

són les que ho provoquen".

By the clothes that we wear

Per la roba que portem

and the makeup that we put on.

i el maquillatge que ens posem.

Yeah, I guess those hoodies that Uber engineers wear in Silicon Valley

Suposo que les dessuadores de les enginyeres d'Uber a Silicon Valley

are just so provocative.

són tan provocatives!

"Women make it up."

"Les dones s'ho inventen".

Yeah, because it's so fun and rewarding

És clar, és tan divertit i gratificant

to be demeaned and taken down.

ser menyspreada i escorxada.

I would know.

Us ho dic jo.

"Women bring these claims because they want to be famous and rich."

"Fan aquestes declaracions per ser famoses i riques".

Our own president said that.

El nostre president va dir això.

I bet Taylor Swift,

Segur que a la Taylor Swift,

one of the most well-known and richest singers in the world,

una de les cantants més famoses i riques del món,

didn't need more money or fame

no li calien ni diners, ni fama

when she came forward with her groping case

quan va fer públic el cas de grapejament

for one dollar.

i volia un dòlar a canvi.

And I'm so glad she did.

Estic tan contenta que ho fes.

Breaking news:

Notícia d'última hora:

the untold story about women and sexual harassment in the workplace:

la història mai revelada sobre les dones i l'assetjament sexual a la feina:

women just want a safe, welcoming

les dones només volen un ambient segur,

and harass-free environment.

acollidor i sense assetjament.

That's it.

Ja està.

(Applause)

(Aplaudiments)

So how do we go about getting our power back?

Què fem, doncs, per recuperar el nostre poder?

I have three solutions.

Tinc tres solucions.

Number one:

Número u:

we need to turn bystanders and enablers into allies.

hem de convertir els testimonis i els incitadors en aliats.

Ninety-eight percent of United States corporations right now

El 98 % de les empreses dels EUA tenen, actualment,

have sexual harassment training policies.

polítiques de formació sobre l'assetjament sexual.

Seventy percent have prevention programs.

El 70 % tenen programes de prevenció.

But still, overwhelmingly,

Tot i això, generalment,

bystanders and witnesses don't come forward.

els testimonis i espectadors no ho fan públic.

In 2016,

El 2016,

the Harvard Business Review called it the "bystander effect."

la Harvard Business Review ho va anomenar "l'efecte testimoni".

And yet -- remember 9/11.

I tot i això, recordeu l'11-S.

Millions of times we've heard,

Quantes vegades hem sentit

"If you see something,

"Si veus alguna cosa,

say something."

digues-ho".

Imagine how impactful that would be if we carried that through

Imagineu l'impacte si això ho fessin

to bystanders in the workplace regarding sexual harassment --

els testimonis d'assetjament sexual a la feina,

to recognize and interrupt these incidences;

que reconeguessin i aturessin aquests casos,

to confront the perpetrators to their face;

que s'enfrontessin als autors

to help and protect the victims.

i ajudessin i protegissin les víctimes.

This is my shout-out to men:

Aquest és el meu crit als homes:

we need you in this fight.

necessitem la vostra ajuda.

And to women, too --

I a les dones, també:

enablers to allies.

d'incitadors a aliats.

Number two:

Número dos:

change the laws.

canviem les lleis.

How many of you out there know

Quants de vosaltres sabeu

whether or not you have a forced arbitration clause

si teniu una clàusula d'arbitratge forçat

in your employment contract?

al contracte laboral?

Not a lot of hands.

No hi ha gaires mans.

And if you don't know, you should,

Si no ho sabeu, hauríeu.

and here's why.

Per què?

TIME Magazine calls it,

La revista TIME ho anomena

right there on the screen,

aquí, a la pantalla,

"The teeny tiny little print in contracts

"La lletra molt petita dels contractes

that keeps sexual harassment claims unheard."

que silencia les denúncies d'assetjament sexual".

Here's what it is.

Això vol dir que

Forced arbitration takes away your Seventh Amendment right

l'arbitratge forçat elimina el dret a la setena esmena

to an open jury process.

per a un judici públic.

It's secret.

És secret.

You don't get the same witnesses or depositions.

No tens els mateixos testimonis ni declaracions.

In many cases, the company picks the arbitrator for you.

En molts casos, l'empresa tria el mediador.

There are no appeals,

No hi ha apel·lacions

and only 20 percent of the time does the employee win.

i el treballador només guanya un 20 % de les vegades.

But again, it's secret,

Com ja he dit, és un secret

so nobody ever knows what happened to you.

i ningú sap què t'ha passat.

This is why I've been working so diligently

Per això he treballat tant

on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC

al Capitoli, a Washington, DC,

to change the laws.

per canviar les lleis.

And here's what I tell the Senators:

Als senadors els dic

sexual harassment is apolitical.

que l'assetjament sexual és apolític.

Before somebody harasses you,

Abans d'assetjar-te,

they don't ask you if you're a Republican or Democrat first.

no et pregunten si ets republicà o demòcrata.

They just do it.

Ho fan i prou.

And this is why we should all care.

Per això els hauria de preocupar.

Number three:

Número tres:

be fierce.

siguem valentes.

It starts when we stand tall,

Comença per aixecar-nos

and we build that self-confidence.

i apujar-nos l'autoestima.

And we stand up and we speak up,

Ens aixequem, parlem

and we tell the world what happened to us.

i expliquem al món què ens ha passat.

I know it's scary,

Ja sé que fa por,

but let's do it for our kids.

però fem-ho pels nostres fills.

Let's stop this for the next generations.

Aturem això per a les noves generacions.

I know that I did it for my children.

Jo sé que ho vaig fer pels meus fills.

They were paramount in my decision-making

Van ser primordials per prendre la decisió

about whether or not I would come forward.

de fer-ho públic o no.

My beautiful children,

Els meus fills preciosos,

my 12-year-old son, Christian,

el Christian, de 12 anys,

my 14-year-old daughter, Kaia.

i la Kaia, de 14.

And boy, did I underestimate them.

I els vaig subestimar.

The first day of school last year

El primer dia d'escola

happened to be the day my resolution was announced,

es va fer pública la resolució,

i em feia tanta por el que haurien de viure.

and I was so anxious about what they would face.

En tornar de l'escola la meva filla em va dir

My daughter came home from school and she said,

que li havien preguntat que què m'havia passat durant l'estiu.

"Mommy, so many people asked me what happened to you over the summer."

Em va mirar als ulls

Then she looked at me in the eyes

and she said, "And mommy,

i em va dir: "Mama,

estava tan orgullosa

I was so proud

to say that you were my mom."

de dir que ets la meva mare".

And two weeks later,

Dues setmanes després,

when she finally found the courage to stand up to two kids

quan va ser prou valenta per enfrontar-se a dos nens

who had been making her life miserable,

que li feien la vida impossible,

she came home to me and she said,

va tornar a casa i em va dir:

"Mommy, I found the courage to do it

"Mama, he estat valenta,

because I saw you do it."

perquè t'he vist fer-ho a tu".

(Applause)

(Aplaudiments)

You see, giving the gift of courage is contagious.

El regal de la valentia és contagiós.

And I hope that my journey has inspired you,

I espero que el meu viatge us hagi inspirat,

because right now, it's the tipping point.

perquè ara mateix és el punt àlgid.

We are watching history happen.

Estem vivint la història.

More and more women are coming forward and saying,

Més i més dones ho fan públic i diuen:

"Enough is enough."

"Ja n'hi ha prou".

(Applause)

(Aplaudiments)

Here's my one last plea to companies.

La meva última petició per a les empreses és:

Let's hire back all those women whose careers were lost

torneu a contractar totes les dones que van perdre la feina

because of some random jerk.

per un imbècil.

Because here's what I know about women:

Perquè sé que les dones

we will not longer be underestimated, intimidated or set back;

ja no serem subestimades, intimidades o apartades,

we will not be silenced by the ways of the establishment

no serem silenciades pels mètodes de les classes dirigents

or the relics of the past.

o per les relíquies del passat.

No.

No.

We will stand up and speak up

Ens aixecarem i parlarem,

and have our voices heard.

que se sentin les nostres veus.

We will be the women we were meant to be.

Serem les dones que hem de ser.

And above all,

I sobretot,

we will always be fierce.

sempre serem valentes.

Thank you.

Gràcies.

(Applause)

(Aplaudiments)
