It's time for women to run for office | Halla Tómasdóttir

Translator: Aari Lemmik Reviewer: Kaisa-Kitri Niit

I feel incredibly lucky

Mul on kohutavalt vedanud,

to be from a country

et olen pärit riigist,

that's generally considered to be the best place in the world

mida üldiselt peetakse maailma parimaks kohaks

to be a woman.

kus olla naine.

In 1975, when I was seven years old,

1975. aastal,

olin siis 7-aastane,

women in Iceland went on a strike.

hakkasid Islandi naised streikima.

They did no work that day,

Nad ei töötanud sel päeval hetkegi,

whether they held professional jobs

ei oma töökohal

ega ka kodus.

or had the work of the home.

They marched into the center of Reykjavík --

Nad läksid Reykjaviki kesklinna -

90 percent of women participated --

osales 90% naistest -

and peacefully and in solidarity

et rahumeelselt ja üheskoos

nõuda võrdset kohtlemist.

asked for equality.

Nothing worked in Iceland that day,

Islandil jäi elu sel päeval seisma,

because nothing works when women are not at work.

sest miski ei toimi, kui naised tööd ei tee.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

Five years later, Icelanders had the courage

Viis aastat hiljem oli islandlastel julgust

to be the first country in the world

olla esimene riik maailmas,

to democratically elect a woman as their president.

kes valib demokraatlikul teel oma presidendiks naise.

I will never forget this day,

Ma ei unusta seda päeva kunagi,

that President Vigdís, as we know her by her first name,

mil president Vigdís, nagu teda eesnime pidi teame,

tuli välja oma kodu rõdule,

stepped out on the balcony of her own home,

a single mom with her daughter by her side as she had won.

üksikema koos oma tütrega, kes seisis ta kõrval,

kui ta oli valimised võitnud.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

This woman was an incredible role model

See naine oli suurepäraseks eeskujuks

for me and everyone growing up at that time,

nii mulle kui ka kõikidele teistele, kes sel ajal üles kasvasid,

ka poistele.

including boys.

She frequently shares the story of how a young boy approached her

Ta räägib sageli lugu ühest väikesest poisist, kes tuli ta juurde,

after a couple of terms in office

kui ta oli juba paar ametiaega president olnud,

and asked, "Can boys really grow up to be president?"

ja küsis:" Kas poisid võivad ka suurena presidendiks saada?"

(Laughter)

(Naer)

Eeskujud on väga olulised,

Role models really matter,

but even with such strong role models

aga isegi selliste võimsate eeskujude varal,

who I am so grateful for,

kellele ma olen väga tänulik,

tekkis mul siis, kui tehti ettepanek kandideerida presidendiks

when I was encouraged to run for president,

my first reaction was, "Who am I to run for president?

esimese reaktsioonina küsimus:

kes olen mina, et presidendiks kandideerida?

Kes olen mina, et olla president?

Who am I to be president?"

It turns out that women

Selgub, et naised mõtlevad kandideerimisele

are less likely to consider running than men.

oluliselt vähem kui mehed.

So a study done in the US in 2011

USAs 2011. aastal tehtud uurimus näitas,

showed that 62 percent of men had considered running for office,

et valitavasse ametisse kandideerimist on kaalunud 62% meestest,

but 45 percent of women.

aga ainult 45% naistest.

Vahe on siin tervelt 16%,

That's gap of 16 percentage points,

and it's the same gap that existed a decade earlier.

ja see on sama suur kui oli kümme aastat varem.

Sellest on tõsiselt kahju,

And it really is a shame,

because I am so convinced that the world is in real need for women leaders

sest ma usun siiralt, et maailmal on väga vaja naisjuhte

and more principle-based leadership

ja üldse rohkem väärtuspõhist juhtimist.

in general.

Põhjus, miks ma otsustasin kandideerida

So my decision to run

ultimately came down to the fact

oli tegelikult selles,

et ma tundsin,

that I felt

that I had to do my bit,

et ma pean andma oma osa,

even if I had no political experience,

isegi kui mul pole poliitilist kogemust,

to step up and try to be part of creating the world

tuleb mul astuda ette ja püüda anda oma panus maailmale,

that will make sense and be sustainable

mis oleks mõistlik ja jätkusuutlik

for our kids,

meie laste jaoks.

and a world where we truly allow both our boys and girls

Luua selline maailm, kus meie poegadel ja tütardel on võimalik

to be all they can be.

ennast 100% realiseerida.

Sellest saigi minu elu rännak.

And it was the journey of my life.

It was amazing.

See on olnud imeline teekond.

Teekond algas 20 potentsiaalse kandidaadiga.

The journey started with potentially as many as 20 candidates.

It boiled down to nine candidates qualifying,

Seejärel jäi meid järgi üheksa

ja viimases voorus oli meid neli:

and ultimately the race came down to four of us,

kolm meest ja mina.

three men and me.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

But that's not all the drama yet.

Aga sellega ei saanud tsirkus veel läbi.

You may think you have drama in the US,

Võite mõelda, et teil siin USAs on valimised tõeline draama,

but I can --

aga ma võin kinnitada -

(Laughter)

(Naer)

I can assure you we had our own drama in Iceland.

et meil Islandil oli oma draama.

Niisiis oli meie 20 aastat ametis olnud president esialgu teatanud,

So our sitting president of 20 years

announced initially that he was not going to run,

et ta ei kavatse enam kandideerida,

which is probably what gave rise

mis tõenäoliselt pani nii mitmeid teisi

to so many candidates considering running.

ise kandideerimist kaaluma.

Then later he changed his mind

Hiljem otsustas ta ümber,

kui me peaminister astus tagasi

when our prime minister resigned

following the infamous Panama Papers

seoses kurikuulsate Panama dokumentidega,

that implicated him and his family.

mis puudutasid teda ja ta perekonda.

And there was a popular protest in Iceland,

See tekitas Islandil rahva meelepaha

so the sitting president thought they needed a trusted leader.

ja ametisolev president arvas, et rahval on vaja usaldusväärset juhti.

Mõni päev hiljem selgus, et ta naise ja tolle pere firmad

A few days later, relations to his wife and her family's companies

on samuti Panama paberite hulgas

were also discovered in the Panama Papers,

ning seejärel loobus ta taas kandideerimisest.

and so he withdrew from the race again.

Before doing so, he said he was doing that

Enne loobumist selgitas ta aga, et teeb seda selleks,

because now there were two qualified men

et nüüd on olemas kaks sobivat meest,

who he felt could fill his shoes running for office.

kes tema arvates suudaksid selles ametis hakkama saada.

9. mail, 45 päeva enne valimisi

So on May 9, 45 days before election day,

it was not looking too good for me.

hakkasin vaikselt muretsema.

I did not even make the graph in the newspaper.

Mind ei arvestatud isegi ajalehes toodud pingereas.

Küsitluste alusel oli mu toetus vaid 1%,

The polls had me at 1 percent,

mis oli ikkagi kõrgeim tulemus

but that was still the highest

that any woman announcing her candidacy had earned.

nende naiste seas, kes olid kandideerimisest teatanud.

So it would be an understatement to say that I had to work extremely hard

Pehmelt öeldes pidin pööraselt vaeva nägema,

to get my seat at the table

et võidelda välja oma koht laua ääres

and access to television,

ja ligipääs televisiooni,

sest telekanalid olid otsustanud, et nad lubavad osaleda vaid neil,

because the network decided that they would only include

those with 2.5 percent or more in the polls

kelle toetus on peale esimest teledebatti vähemalt 2.5%.

in the first TV debate.

I found out on the afternoon of the first TV debate

Sain alles pärast esimest teledebatti teada,

et ma osalen koos kolme mehega

that I would participate along with the three men,

and I found out on live TV

ja see selgus otse-eetris,

that I came in at exactly 2.5 percent on the day of the first TV debate.

et pärast esimest debatti oli mu toetus täpselt 2.5%.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

Niisiis, keeruline lugu.

So, challenges.

The foremost challenges I had to face and overcome on this journey

Kõige keerulisemaks tegid minu jaoks selle teekonna

meedia, võim ja raha.

had to do with media, muscle and money.

Let's start with media.

Alustame meediast.

There are those who say gender doesn't matter

On neid, kes väidavad, et pole vahet, kas oled mees või naine,

when it comes to media and politics.

kui jutt on meediast ja poliitikast.

I can't say that I agree.

Ma ei ole sellega nõus.

It proved harder for me to both get access and airtime in media.

Minu jaoks osutus keerulisemaks nii meediaga suhtlemine kui eetriaja saamine.

As a matter of fact, the leading candidate appeared in broadcast media

Liidrikohal olnud kandidaat oli tele- ja raadioeetris

valimistele eelnenud kuudel 87 korral

87 times in the months leading up to the elections,

whereas I appeared 31 times.

samas kui mina vaid 31 korral.

And I am not saying media is doing this consciously.

Samas ei väida ma, et meedia tegi seda teadlikult.

I think largely this has to do with unconscious bias,

Ma arvan, et pigem on siin tegu teadvustamata suhtumisega,

because in media, much like everywhere else,

sest meedias nagu ka kõikjal mujal

we have both conscious and unconscious bias,

mõjutavad meid teadlikud kui teadvustamata hoiakud

ja nendest tuleb julgeda rääkida, kui tahame olukorda muuta.

and we need to have the courage to talk about it if we want to change it.

When I finally got access to TV,

Kui mind lõpuks lasti TVs eetrisse,

the first question I got was, "Are you going to quit?"

siis oli esimene küsimus: "Kas kavatsete pooleli jätta?".

And that was a hard one.

See oli raske hetk.

But of course, with 1 percent to 2.5 percent in the polls,

Arusaadavalt võib küsitluste põhjal saadud 1- 2.5% toetus

maybe it's understandable.

tekitada sellise küsimuse.

Aga meedial on mõjujõud, nii et iga kord, kui ma teles esinesin,

But media really matters, and every time I appeared on TV,

we saw and experienced a rise in the polls,

tõusis küsituste kohaselt mu toetus,

seega võin oma kogemusest kinnitada, kui oluline on meedia

so I know firsthand how much this matters

and why we have to talk about it.

ja miks sellest tuleb rääkida.

Olin ainus neljast lõppvooru pääsenud kandidaadist,

I was the only one out of the final four candidates

that never got a front page interview.

kellega ei avaldatud esikülje intervjuud.

I was sometimes left out of the questions asked of all other candidates

Oli juhtumeid, kus minult jäeti küsimata see, mida küsiti teistestel kandidaatidelt

and out of coverage about the elections.

ja mind ei kajastatud valimisülevaadetes.

So I did face this,

Nii et seda tuli ette,

ja ütlen seda Islandi meedia tunnustuseks.

but I will say this to compliment the Icelandic media.

I got few if any comments about my hair and pantsuit.

Tulid vaid üksikud kommentaarid mu soengu ja pükskostüümi kohta.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

So kudos to them.

Nii et minu lugupidamine.

But there is another experience that's very important.

Siiski oli veel üks kogemus, mida pean väga oluliseks.

Kandideerisin sõltumatu kandidaadina

I ran as an independent candidate,

not with any political party or muscle behind me.

ja minu taga ei olnud poliitilist parteid ega muud huvigruppi.

That lack of experience

Kogemuse puudumine ja piiratud vahendid

and lack of access to resources

probably came at a cost to our campaign,

ilmselt jätsid kampaaniale pitseri,

but it also allowed us to innovate and do politics differently.

aga see sundis meid olema leidlik ja tegema poliitikat teisiti kui seni.

Meie tegime positiivset kampaaniat

We ran a positive campaign,

and we probably changed the tone of the election for others by doing that.

ja tõenäoliselt mõjutasime sellega valimiste tonaalsust ka teiste jaoks.

It may be the reason why I had less airtime on TV,

Põhjus, miks ma sain vähem eetriaega

because I wanted to show other contenders respect.

võib olla ka selles, et tahtsin teiste kandidaatide suhtes lugupidavalt käituda.

When access to media proved to be so difficult,

Kui meediasse pääsemine osutus väga keerukaks,

we ran our own media.

kasutasime oma meediakanaleid.

I ran live Facebook sessions

Korraldasin arutelusid Facebookis,

where I took questions from voters on anything and responded on the spot.

kus valijad said esitada küsimusi, millele kohe ka vastasin.

And we put all the questions I got and all the answers on an open Facebook

Kõik esitatud küsimused ja antud vastused jäid ka Facebookis nähtavaks,

because we thought transparency is important

sest meie jaoks oli läbipaistvus oluline,

if you want to establish trust.

et tekitada usaldust.

Kui paistis, et nooremate valijateni on raske jõuda,

And when reaching young voters proved to be challenging,

I became a Snapchatter.

hakkasin kasutama Snapchati.

Lasin noorematel endale õpetada, kuidas see täpselt käib

I got young people to teach me how to do that,

and I used every filter on Snapchat during the last part of the campaign.

ja kampaania lõpuks kasutasin kõiki Snapchati filtereid.

And I actually had to use a lot of humor and humility, as I was very bad at it.

Sain enda üle kõvasti naerda ja piinlikkust tunda,

sest olin ikka päris saamatu.

But we grew the following amongst young people by doing that.

Samas aitas see kasvatada nooremate valijate toetust.

Nii et on täiesti võimalik teha teistsugust kampaaniat.

So it's possible to run a different type of campaign.

But unfortunately, one cannot talk about politics without mentioning money.

Paraku ei ole võimalik rääkida poliitikast toomata sisse rahastamist.

I am sad that it is that way, but it's true,

Mul on kahju, et see nii on, aga midagi pole teha.

and we had less financial resources than the other candidates.

Meie eelarve oli väiksem kui teistel kandidaatidel.

This probably was partly due to the fact

Osalt oli see nii ehk ka seetõttu,

that I think I had a harder time asking for financial support.

et minu jaoks ei olnud lihtne kelletki raha küsida.

Ja ilmselt oli mu eesmärgiks ka vähemaga rohkem ära teha.

And maybe I also had the ambition to do more with less.

Some would call that very womanly of me.

Seda võiks isegi väga naiselikuks pidada.

But even with one third the media, one third the financial resources,

Arvestades, et meil oli vaid kolmandik meediakajastustest, kolmandik eelarvest

and only an entrepreneurial team, but an amazing team,

ja üks lihtsalt entusiastlik, suurepärane meeskond,

we managed to surprise everyone on election night,

siis õnnestus meil kõiki valimiste õhtul üllatada,

kui tulemused laekuma hakkasid.

when the first numbers came in.

I surprised myself, as you may see in that photo.

Ma üllatasin ennast ka, nagu sel fotol siin näha on.

(Laughter)

(Naer)

So the first numbers,

Siin on esimesed tulemused,

olen võrdses seisus juhtiva kandidaadiga.

I came in neck to neck to the leading candidate.

(Cheers)

(Rõõmuhõisked, aplaus)

Well, too early, because I didn't quite pull that,

Siiski liiga ennatlik, tegelikult ma seekord ära ei teinud,

but I came in second,

vaid jäin teiseks.

and we went a long way from the one percent,

Me tegime suure hüppe ühelt protsendilt

with nearly a third of the vote,

ligi kolmandiku häälteni

and we beat the polls by an unprecedented margin,

ja purustasime kõik ennustused seninägemata vahemaaga

or 10 percentage points above what the last poll came in at.

üle 10 protsendipunktiga viimastest küsitlusest.

Some people call me the real winner of the election because of this,

On neid, kes peavad mind tänu sellele tegelikuks valimiste võitjaks

and there are many people who encouraged me to run again.

ja palju on neid, kes on mind kannustanud uuesti kandideerima.

But what really makes me proud

Aga mis paneb mind uhkust tundma

on teadmine, et mul õnnestus koguda

is to know that I earned

proportionately higher percentage support from the young people,

proportsionaalselt kõrgem toetus just noorte valijate seas

and a lot of people encouraged my daughter to run in 2040.

ja paljud kannustasid mu tütart kandideerima 2040 valimistel.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

She is 13,

Ta on 13-aastane

and she had never been on TV before.

ja ei ole kunagi varem teles esinenud.

And on election day, I observed her on TV repeatedly,

Valimiste päeval jälgisin, kuidas ta eetris olles käitus

and she was smart, she was self-confident,

ja ta oli nutikas ning enesekindel,

ta oli vahetu ja ta toetas igati oma ema.

she was sincere, and she was supportive of her mother.

This was probably the highlight of my campaign.

See oligi ehk minu valimiskampaania kõrghetk.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

But there was another one.

Üks hetk oli veel.

These are preschool girls out on a walk,

Lasteaiatüdrukud käisid jalutamas

ja kui nad nägid bussipeatuses minu plakatit,

and they found a poster of me on a bus stop,

and they saw the need to kiss it.

siis tahtsid nad seda musitada.

Audience: Aw!

Juba selle pildi pärast tundsin end võitjana.

This picture was really enough of a win for me.

What we see, we can be.

Kui midagi tahta, siis selle ka saame.

So screw fear and challenges.

Nii et saatke on kahtlused ja hirm pikalt!

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

It matters that women run,

On oluline, et naised kandideeriksid

ja käes on aeg, et naised juhiksid,

and it's time for women to run for office,

olgu see siis ettevõtte juhina või riigi presidendina.

be it the office of the CEO or the office of the president.

I also managed to put an impression on your very own "New Yorker."

Mul õnnestus muljet avaldada ka teie enda "New Yorkerile".

I earned a new title, "A living emoji of sincerity."

Mulle anti uus tiitel: "Elav siiruse emotikon"

(Cheers)

(Aplaus)

It is possibly my proudest title yet,

See on ilmselt seni mu kõige uhkem tiitel,

and the reason is that women too often get penalized

ja seda sellepärast, et naisi hurjutatakse liiga sageli

for using what I call their emotional capital,

oma emotsionaalse kapitali kasutamise eest

but I know from experience that we become so good

aga omast kogemusest tean, et seda kasutades

suudame olla erakordselt tugevad.

when we do just that.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

And we need more of that.

Me peaksime seda rohkem kasutama.

We celebrated as if we had won on election night,

Tähistasime nii, nagu oleksime valimised võitnud,

because that's how we felt.

sest meil oligi täpselt selline tunne.

So you don't necessarily have to reach that office.

Nii et lõpuks ei olegi vaja ametipostile saada.

You just have to go for it,

Lihtsalt tuleb selle poole püüelda,

and you, your family, your friends, everyone working with you,

nii ise, perekond, sõbrad ja kõik, kellega koos töötad,

if you do it well, you will grow beyond anything you will experience before.

ja kui seda teha hästi, on võimalik tõusta kõrgemale, kui kunagi varem.

Nii et meil oli väga lahe,

So we had a good time,

and I learned a lot on this journey,

ja ma õppisin sellest palju,

palju rohkem, kui täna on aega

probably more lessons than I can share here

in the time we have today.

seda kõike teiega jagada.

But rest assured, it was hard work.

Aga kindlasti oli see ränk töö

I lost a lot of sleep during those months.

mida tuli sageli teha uneaja arvelt.

It took resilience and perseverance to not quit,

Tuli olla vastupidav ja järjekindel, et mitte pooleli jätta,

but I learned something that I knew before on the one percent day,

aga mulle sai selgeks midagi, mida teadsin juba enne 1% päeva:

and that is that you can only be good

edukas on võimalik olla vaid siis,

when you are truly, authentically listening to your own voice

kui kuulata oma sisetunnet

and working in alignment with that.

ja tegutseda sellele vastavalt.

Mu kallis õde ütleb vahel,

As a good sister of mine sometimes says,

you may cheat on your intuition,

et on võimalik alt vedada oma sisetunnet,

but your intuition never cheats on you.

aga sisetunne ei vea kunagi alt.

I think it's also very important, and you all know this,

Samuti on väga oluline ja te kõik ju teate seda,

that on any journey you go on,

et ükskõik millisele reisile minnes,

it's the team you take along.

tuleb kaasa võtta oma meeskond.

It's having people around you who share your values, your vision,

Inimesed, kellega sul on sarnased väärtused ja visioon,

but are different in every other way.

aga kes muus osas on täiesti erinevad.

See ongi minu edu valem

That's the formula for success for me,

and I am blessed with an amazing husband,

ja olen õnnistatud imelise abikaasaga,

here today,

kes on täna siin,

minu fantastiline perekond --

an incredible family --

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

and great friends,

ja suurepärased sõbrad.

Me jaoks oli see ühine ettevõtmine poliitilisel areenil

and we came together as entrepreneurs in the political arena,

and pulled something off that everyone said would be impossible.

ning saime hakkama millegagi, mida kõik pidasid võimatuks.

As a matter of fact, the leading PR expert told me

Tegelikult ütles mulle üks parimaid PR spetsialiste,

before I made my decision

veel enne kui otsustasin kandideerida,

that I would do well to get seven percent.

et kui hästi läheb, saan 7% häältest.

I appreciated his perspective, because he was probably right,

Ma kuulasin tema arvamust, sest tal võis ilmselt õiguski olla,

and he was basing it on valuable experience.

kuna see oletus põhines ta suurele kogemusele.

Aga sel 1% päeval

But on the one percent day,

I decided here to show him that he was wrong.

otsustasin talle näidata, et ta eksib.

It's very important to mention this, because I did lose a lot of sleep,

Seda peab kindlasti mainima, sest mul oli palju unetuid öid,

and I worked hard, and so did the people with me.

ma tegin kõvasti tööd, nagu kogu mu meeskondki.

We can never go the distance if we forget to take care of ourselves.

Keegi ei pea pikalt vastu, kui enda eest ei hoolitse.

And it's two things that I think are very important in that,

Siin pean ma väga oluliseks kahte asja:

in surrounding yourself with people and practices that nourish you,

esiteks, koondada enda ümber inimesed ja töövõtted, mis sind aitavad,

aga sama oluline, ehk veelgi olulisem on,

but it's equally important, maybe even more important,

to have the courage to get rid of people and practices

et oleks julgust öelda lahti neist inimestest ja tegevustest,

that take away your energy,

mis võtavad energiat ära,

including the wonderful bloggers and commentators.

kaasaarvatud kõik need suurepärased blogijad ja kommenteerijad.

I took a lot of support from others in doing this,

Mul oli vaja palju teiste toetust, et seda teha

and I made the decision to go high when others went low,

ja otsustasin, et ei lase oma taset alla, ka siis kui laskuti väga madalale.

and that's partly how I kept my energy going throughout all of this.

See võimaldas mul leida energiat et minna lõpuni välja.

Kui tekkis hetki, kus ma enam ei jaksanud,

And when I lost my energy for a moment --

and I did from time to time, it wasn't easy --

ja neid tuli ikka aeg-agalt ette, lihtne see polnud,

I went back to why I decided to run,

mõtlesin tagasi sellele, miks ma üldse otsustasin kandideerida

ja kuidas ma otsustasin oma kampaaniat teha.

and how I had decided to run my own race.

I called it a 4G campaign,

Kutsun seda 4G kampaaniaks,

G tähistab islandikeelseid sõnu.

the G's representing the Icelandic words.

And the first one is called "Gagn."

Esimene sõna on "gagn".

Kandideerin selleks, et tuua kasu,

I ran to do good,

to be of service,

teha midagi kellegi heaks.

and I wanted servant leadership

Tahan, et juhtimine kui teenistuses olemine

oleks meie kampaania ülesehituse lähtealuseks.

to be at the center of how I worked and everybody else in the campaign.

Second one is "Gleði," or joy.

Teine sõna on "Gleði," rõõm.

Otsustasin, et kavatsen sellest teekonnast rõõmu tunda.

I decided to enjoy the journey.

There was a lot to be taken out of the journey,

Sel kogemusel on nii palju pakkuda,

no matter if the destination was reached or not.

olenemata sellest, kas jõuame sihile või mitte.

And I tried my utmost to inspire others to do so as well.

Andsin endast kõik, et ka teised samamoodi tunneksid.

Kolmas on "Gagnsæi".

Third is "Gagnsæi."

Olin valmis vastama kõikidele küsimustele.

I was open to any questions.

I kept no secrets,

Mul ei olnud saladusi,

and it was all open, on Facebook and websites.

kõik oli avalik, nii Facebookis kui veebis.

Because I think if you're choosing your president,

Sest kui valitakse presidenti,

you deserve answers to your questions.

siis on õigus saada oma küsimustele vastused.

Last but not least,

Ja lõpuks midagi sama olulist,

mida siinolijatele selgitada pole vaja:

I don't need to explain that in this room,

we ran on the principle of Girlpower.

kampaania põhialuseks oli girlpower.

(Cheers)

(Aplaus)

Mul on kohutavalt hea meel,

I am incredibly glad

that I had the courage to run,

et leidsin endas julgust kandideerida,

to risk failure but receive success

riskida läbikukkumisega, aga saavutada edu

on so many levels.

ja seda nii mitmes mõttes.

I can't tell you that it was easy,

Ma ei ütle, et see oli kerge,

but I can tell you,

aga võin kinnitada,

ja usun, et kogu mu meeskond nõustub,

and I think my entire team will agree with me,

that it was worth it.

et asi oli seda väärt.

Thank you.

Aitäh.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ma tänan.

Pat Mitchell: I'm not letting you go yet.

[Pat Mitchell] Sind ei saa veel ära lasta.

Halla Tómasdóttir: What a great crowd.

[Halla Tómasdóttir] Suurepärane publik!

PM: I can't let you go without saying

[PM] Ma ei saa sind ära lasta ütlemata,

that probably everybody in the room is ready to move to Iceland

et ilmselt oleksid kõik siin valmis kohe Islandile kolima

and vote for you.

ja sinu poolt hääletama.

But of course we probably can't vote there,

Aga tegelikult me seal valida ei saaks,

but one thing we can get from Iceland

aga üks, mida Islandilt oleme saanud

ja sealt saab seda alati, on inspiratsioon.

and have always gotten is inspiration.

Olen juba nii vana, et mäletan 1975. aastat,

I mean, I'm old enough to remember 1975

when all the Icelandic women walked out,

kui kõik Islandi naised tulid tänavatele,

and that really was a very big factor in launching the women's movement.

ja see andis väga olulise tõuke naisliikumise hoogustumisele.

You made a reference to it earlier. I'd love to bring the picture back up

Mainisid seda ka oma kõnes ja näitaks uuesti seda fotot,

and just have us remember what it was like when a country came to a standstill.

et meenutada, mis tunne oli, kui kogu riik jäi seisma.

And then what you may not know

On veel midagi, mida te ehk ei tea,

because our American media did not report it,

sest Ameerika press sellest ei rääkinud.

the Icelandic women walked out again on Monday. Right?

Islandi naised tulid jälle tänavatele

sel esmaspäeval, kas polnud nii?

HT: Yes, they did. PM: Can you tell us about that?

[HTY] Jah, oli küll. [PM] Räägi palun sellest.

HT: Yes, so 41 years after the original strike,

[HT] Jah, nii on, et 41 aastat peale seda suurt streiki

we may be the best place in the world to be a woman,

olemegi ehk riik, kus naistel on kõige parem elada,

but our work isn't done.

aga meie töö ei ole veel tehtud.

Nii et esmaspäeval kell 14.38

So at 2:38pm on Monday,

women in Iceland left work,

tulid Islandi naised töölt ära,

because that's when they had earned their day's salary.

sest selleks ajaaks olid nad oma päevapalga välja teeninud.

(Applause)

(Aplaus)

Eriti lahe on aga see,

What's really cool about this

is that young women and men participated

et neid noori naisi ja mehi, kes osalesid,

in greater numbers than before,

oli palju rohkem kui kunagi varem,

because it is time that we close the pay gap.

sest käes on aeg kaotada palgalõhe.

PM: So I'm not going to ask Halla to commit right now

[PM] Ma ei saa nõuda Hallalt, et ta kohe praegu lubaks,

to what she's doing next,

mida ta järgmiseks ette võtab,

but I will say that you'd have a very large volunteer army

aga olen kindel, et siin on suur vabatahtlikke armee,

should you decide to do that again.

juhuks, kui otsustad uuesti kandideerida.

Thank you Halla.

Aitäh sulle, Halla.

[HT] Aitäh teile kõigile!

HT: Thank you all.

(Applause)
