Why we have too few women leaders | Sheryl Sandberg

Translator: Jose Camean Reviewer: Adrián Levices Casal

Todos os que estamos hoxe aquí

So for any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky.

comecemos admitindo que temos sorte.

We don't live in the world our mothers lived in,

Non vivimos no mundo

no que vivían as nosas nais e avoas

our grandmothers lived in,

where career choices for women were so limited.

onde as opcións de futuro para as mulleres eran moi limitadas.

And if you're in this room today,

E se estás nesta sala hoxe,

most of us grew up in a world where we have basic civil rights,

a maioría de nós medramos nun mundo

onde temos dereitos civís básicos

and amazingly, we still live in a world where some women don't have them.

e, sorprendentemente, aínda vivimos nun mundo

no que algunhas mulleres non os teñen.

But all that aside, we still have a problem,

Pero, alén diso, aínda temos un problema,

e é un problema real.

and it's a real problem.

And the problem is this:

E o problema é que

Women are not making it to the top of any profession

as mulleres non están acadando

o cume das súas profesións

anywhere in the world.

en ningures.

The numbers tell the story quite clearly.

Os números dino claramente

190 heads of state -- nine are women.

190 xefes de estado

nove son mulleres.

Of all the people in parliament in the world,

Dos membros do parlamento en todo o mundo,

13 percent are women.

un 13% son mulleres.

No mundo da empresa,

In the corporate sector, women at the top,

as mulleres no cume:

C-level jobs, board seats --

executivas, consellos de administración...

tops out at 15, 16 percent.

representan o 15, 16 ó sumo.

The numbers have not moved since 2002

Isto non mudou dende 2002

e van na dirección errada.

and are going in the wrong direction.

And even in the non-profit world,

E, mesmo en institucións sen ánimo de lucro,

a world we sometimes think of as being led by more women,

un mundo que ás veces pensamos

está dirixido por mulleres,

women at the top: 20 percent.

as mulleres en altas posicións son o 20%.

Mais temos tamén outro problema

We also have another problem,

which is that women face harder choices

é que as mulleres encaran eleccións máis difíciles

between professional success and personal fulfillment.

entre o éxito profesional e a realización persoal.

A recent study in the U.S. showed that, of married senior managers,

Un estudo recente nos Estados Unidos

amosou que dos altos directivos casados,

two-thirds of the married men had children

dous terzos dos homes casados teñen fillos

and only one-third of the married women had children.

e só un terzo das mulleres casadas teñen fillos.

A couple of years ago, I was in New York,

Hai un par de anos, estaba en Nova Iorque

and I was pitching a deal,

para presentar un acordo,

and I was in one of those fancy New York private equity offices

e estaba nunha desas típicas oficinas de empresa elegantes,

xa sabedes.

you can picture.

E na reunión, --unha xuntanza de preto de tres horas --

And I'm in the meeting -- it's about a three-hour meeting --

and two hours in, there needs to be that bio break,

logo de duas horas, precisabamos unha pausa para ir ó baño,

entón ergueuse todo o mundo ,

and everyone stands up,

and the partner running the meeting starts looking really embarrassed.

e o anfitrión da reunión

asemella estar moi incómodo.

And I realized he doesn't know where the women's room is in his office.

E decateime de que non sabía

onde estaba o baño das mulleres na oficina.

So I start looking around for moving boxes,

Entón comecei a ollar arredor por caixas,

pensando que se mudaran recentemente, pero non vin ningunha.

figuring they just moved in, but I don't see any.

And so I said, "Did you just move into this office?"

E preguntei: "Mudástesvos hai pouco?"

E dixo: "Non, levamos case un ano aquí."

And he said, "No, we've been here about a year."

And I said, "Are you telling me that I am the only woman

E eu lle dixen: "Estás a dicir

que eu son a única muller

to have pitched a deal in this office in a year?"

que veu a pechar un acordo nesta oficina nun ano?"

And he looked at me, and he said,

Mirou para min e dixo:

"Yeah. Or maybe you're the only one who had to go to the bathroom."

"Si. Ou quizais es a única que quería ir ao baño."

(Laughter)

(Risos)

So the question is, how are we going to fix this?

Entón a cuestión é:

como podemos solucionar isto?

How do we change these numbers at the top?

Como podemos cambiar estes números?

Como podemos mudar isto?

How do we make this different?

I want to start out by saying, I talk about this --

Quero comezar por dicir

que eu falo sobre isto,

about keeping women in the workforce --

de manter as mulleres no mercado de traballo,

because I really think that's the answer.

porque realmente creo que esa é a resposta.

In the high-income part of our workforce,

Na parte alta da renda no mundo laboral,

entre as persoas que acadan os mellores traballos:

in the people who end up at the top --

Fortune 500 CEO jobs, or the equivalent in other industries --

director xeral nas empresas do Fortune 500

ou o equivalente noutras áreas.

the problem, I am convinced, is that women are dropping out.

O problema, estou convencida,

é que as mulleres están abandonando.

Now people talk about this a lot,

A xente fala moito sobre isto,

and they talk about things like flextime and mentoring

e fálase de cousas coma o horario flexible e de asesoramento,

e programas que as empresas deberían ter para formar as mulleres.

and programs companies should have to train women.

I want to talk about none of that today,

Non quero falar de nada diso hoxe,

even though that's all really important.

aínda que é realmente importante.

Today I want to focus on what we can do as individuals.

Hoxe quero centrar a atención no que podemos facer como individuos.

What are the messages we need to tell ourselves?

Cal é a mensaxes que precisamos transmitirnos?

What are the messages we tell the women that work with and for us?

Que mensaxe temos que dar ás mulleres que traballan con e para nós?

What are the messages we tell our daughters?

Que mensaxe lle damos ás nosas fillas?

Now, at the outset, I want to be very clear

Quero ser certa dende o principio

eu non vou facer xuízos de valor nesta conferencia.

that this speech comes with no judgments.

I don't have the right answer.

Eu non teño a resposta correcta,

I don't even have it for myself.

nin sequera para mi mesma.

I left San Francisco, where I live, on Monday,

Saín de San Francisco, onde eu vivo, o luns

and I was getting on the plane for this conference.

para coller o avión para vir a esta conferencia

e a miña filla de 3 anos de idade, cando a deixei na escola

And my daughter, who's three, when I dropped her off at preschool,

cinxiuse á miña perna,

did that whole hugging-the-leg, crying, "Mommy, don't get on the plane" thing.

chorado: "Mamá, non collas o avión."

This is hard. I feel guilty sometimes.

É difícil. Ás veces síntome culpable.

I know no women,

Non coñezo ningunha muller

whether they're at home or whether they're in the workforce,

amas de casa, ou que traballen fóra,

que non sintan iso ás veces.

who don't feel that sometimes.

So I'm not saying that staying in the workforce

Entón non estou dicindo que traballar fóra

is the right thing for everyone.

sexa adecuado para todos.

My talk today is about what the messages are

A miña conferencia hoxe é sobre as mensaxes clave

if you do want to stay in the workforce,

se se quere permanecer no mercado de traballo

and I think there are three.

e penso que hai tres.

One, sit at the table.

Primeiro, toma asento na mesa.

Two, make your partner a real partner.

Segundo, fai do teu compañeiro un verdadeiro compañeiro.

And three, don't leave before you leave.

E terceiro, non abandones antes de tempo.

Número un: toma asento na mesa.

Number one: sit at the table.

Hai un par de semanas en Facebook,

Just a couple weeks ago at Facebook,

we hosted a very senior government official,

recibimos un alto representante do goberno,

and he came in to meet with senior execs

que viña a encontrarse con altos executivos

de Silicon Valley.

from around Silicon Valley.

And everyone kind of sat at the table.

E todos sentaron á mesa.

He had these two women who were traveling with him

E había dúas mulleres que viaxaban con eles

pretty senior in his department,

que tiñan posicións importantes nos seus departamentos.

and I kind of said to them,

E díxenlles: "Senten á mesa. Veña, senten á mesa."

"Sit at the table. Come on, sit at the table,"

and they sat on the side of the room.

E sentaron nun lado da sala.

When I was in college, my senior year,

Cando estaba no último ano da universidade

I took a course called European Intellectual History.

fixen un curso chamado Historia Intelectual Europea.

Don't you love that kind of thing from college?

Non vos encantan estas cousas da universidade?

I wish I could do that now.

Querería poder facelo agora.

And I took it with my roommate, Carrie,

E fíxeno coa miña compañeira de cuarto, Carrie,

who was then a brilliant literary student --

que era unha alumna brillante de literatura

and went on to be a brilliant literary scholar --

e máis tarde converteuse nunha excelente académica en literatura

e co meu irmán,

and my brother -- smart guy,

un rapaz astuto, pero xogador de waterpolo,

but a water-polo-playing pre-med,

who was a sophomore.

que era estudante de medicina de segundo ano.

The three of us take this class together.

Os tres fixemos este curso xuntos.

And then Carrie reads all the books in the original Greek and Latin,

Carrie leu todos os libros,

nas versións orixinais en grego e latín,

foi a todas as clases.

goes to all the lectures.

I read all the books in English

Eu lin todos os libros en inglés

and go to most of the lectures.

e fun á maioría das clases.

My brother is kind of busy.

O meu irmán estaba medio ocupado,

He reads one book of 12 and goes to a couple of lectures,

leu un dos doce libros

e foi a un par de clases,

marches himself up to our room

veu ao noso cuarto

un par de días antes da proba para que o axudásemos.

a couple days before the exam to get himself tutored.

Os tres fomos ó exame xuntos.

The three of us go to the exam together, and we sit down.

And we sit there for three hours --

E estivemos alí durante 3 horas...

coas nosas libretas azuis ... si, así de vella son.

and our little blue notebooks -- yes, I'm that old.

We walk out, we look at each other, and we say, "How did you do?"

E saímos da aula, ollámonos e preguntámonos: "Como foi?"

And Carrie says, "Boy, I feel like I didn't really draw out the main point

E Carrie dixo: "Bon, penso que non tratei a fondo o punto fundamental

da dialéctica hegeliana".

on the Hegelian dialectic."

And I say, "God, I really wish I had really connected

E eu dixen: "Deus, querería ter conectado

John Locke's theory of property with the philosophers that follow."

a teoría da propiedade de John Locke con filósofos sucesivos."

And my brother says,

E meu irmán dixo:

"I got the top grade in the class."

"Teño a mellor nota da clase."

(Laughter)

"You got the top grade in the class?

"Tes a mellor nota da clase?

You don't know anything."

Pero se non sabes nada!"

(Laughter)

The problem with these stories is that they show what the data shows:

O problema con estas historias

é que coinciden co que os datos amosan:

women systematically underestimate their own abilities.

as mulleres regularmente subestiman as súas habilidades.

If you test men and women,

Se fas un test a homes e mulleres

and you ask them questions on totally objective criteria like GPAs,

e lles preguntas sobre algo totalmente obxectivo coma as notas medias,

men get it wrong slightly high,

os homes erran ó valorarse de máis

and women get it wrong slightly low.

as mulleres erran ó valorarse de menos.

Women do not negotiate for themselves in the workforce.

As mulleres non negocian por si mesmas no mundo do traballo.

A study in the last two years

Un estudo nos últimos dous anos

of people entering the workforce out of college

sobre as persoas que entran no mercado de traballo dende a universidade

showed that 57 percent of boys entering, or men, I guess,

amosa que o 57% dos nenos ó comezar,

ou homes, direi..

are negotiating their first salary,

negocian o seu primer salario,

and only seven percent of women.

e só 7% das mulleres.

And most importantly,

E aínda máis importante,

men attribute their success to themselves,

os homes auto-atribúense o éxito

and women attribute it to other external factors.

e as mulleres a factores externos.

If you ask men why they did a good job,

Se lle preguntas a un home por qué fixo un bo traballo,

they'll say, "I'm awesome.

dirá, "Por qué son incrible.

Obviously. Why are you even asking?"

Obviamente. Dubidábalo?

If you ask women why they did a good job,

Se lle preguntas o mesmo a unha muller

what they'll say is someone helped them,

dirá que alguén a axudou,

they got lucky, they worked really hard.

tiveron sorte, traballaron moito.

Why does this matter?

Por que é isto importante?

Boy, it matters a lot.

Pois importa moito,

Because no one gets to the corner office

porque ninguén chega ós postos importantes

by sitting on the side, not at the table,

sentando a un lado e non na mesa de negociación.

and no one gets the promotion

E ninguén recibe un ascenso,

if they don't think they deserve their success,

se non pensa que merece o éxito,

or they don't even understand their own success.

ou non entenden o porqué do seu propio éxito.

Querería que a resposta fose doada.

I wish the answer were easy.

I wish I could go tell all the young women I work for,

Se puidera dicirlle a todas esas mulleres novas coas que traballo,

todas esas mulleres incribeis,

these fabulous women,

"Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself.

"Crede e negociade por vós mesmas.

Own your own success."

sede donas do voso propio éxito"

I wish I could tell that to my daughter.

Querería poder dicirllo á miña filla.

But it's not that simple.

mais non é tan sinxelo.

Because what the data shows, above all else, is one thing,

porque os datos amosan unha cousa, por riba de todo

which is that success and likeability are positively correlated for men

que é que o éxito e a simpatía

teñen unha correlación positiva para os homes

and negatively correlated for women.

e negativa para as mulleres.

And everyone's nodding, because we all know this to be true.

E todos vós asentides coa cabeza

porque sabemos que é certo.

There's a really good study that shows this really well.

Hai un estudo moi bo que o amosa moi ben.

There's a famous Harvard Business School study

É un importante estudo da Harvard Business School,

on a woman named Heidi Roizen.

sobre unha muller chamada Heidi Roizen.

And she's an operator in a company in Silicon Valley,

Ela traballa nunha empresa

de Silicon Valley

and she uses her contacts

e usou os seus contactos

to become a very successful venture capitalist.

para converterse nunha inversora de éxito en capital risco.

In 2002 -- not so long ago --

No 2002, non hai moito tempo,

a professor who was then at Columbia University

un profesor que estaba entón na Universidade de Columbia

took that case and made it [Howard] Roizen.

colleu o caso e cambiou o nome por Howard Roizen

And he gave the case out, both of them, to two groups of students.

e deu os dous casos

a dous grupos de alumnos.

He changed exactly one word:

Cambiou só unha palabra:

"Heidi" to "Howard."

Heidi por Howard.

But that one word made a really big difference.

Pero esa palabra supuxo unha gran diferenza.

He then surveyed the students,

E logo fixo unha enquisa ós alumnos.

and the good news was the students, both men and women,

As boas novas é que os estudantes tanto homes coma mulleres,

thought Heidi and Howard were equally competent,

pensaron que ambos, Heidi e Howard, eran os dous competentes

and that's good.

e iso é bo.

The bad news was that everyone liked Howard.

As malas novas son que a todos lles gustou Howard.

He's a great guy. You want to work for him.

É un tipo excelente, queren traballar con el,

You want to spend the day fishing with him.

queren pasar o día pescando con el.

E Heidi? Non están seguros.

But Heidi? Not so sure.

She's a little out for herself. She's a little political.

É un pouco egocéntrica e ten un sesgo político.

You're not sure you'd want to work for her.

Non estás seguro de se che gustaría traballar con ela.

This is the complication.

Esta é a complicación.

We have to tell our daughters and our colleagues,

Temos que lles dicir ás nosas fillas, ós nosos compañeiros de traballo,

we have to tell ourselves to believe we got the A,

e a nós mesmas que temos que crer que somos os mellores,

para conseguir o ascenso,

to reach for the promotion, to sit at the table,

para sentar á mesa.

and we have to do it in a world

E témolo que facer nun mundo

where, for them, there are sacrifices they will make for that,

no que para acadalo, terán que sacrificarse,

even though for their brothers, there are not.

sacrificios que os seus irmáns homes non terán que facer.

The saddest thing about all of this is that it's really hard to remember this.

A parte máis triste de todo isto é que é moi difícil de lembrar.

And I'm about to tell a story which is truly embarrassing for me,

Vou contar unha historia, realmente embarazosa para min,

but I think important.

pero eu creo que é importante.

I gave this talk at Facebook not so long ago

Dei unha conferencia en Facebook non hai moito tempo

to about 100 employees,

a uns 100 empregados.

Un par de horas máis tarde, había unha rapaza que traballa alí

and a couple hours later, there was a young woman who works there

sentada fóra da miña oficina

sitting outside my little desk, and she wanted to talk to me.

que quería falar comigo.

I said, okay, and she sat down, and we talked.

Díxenlle que estaba ben, que sentara e falariamos.

And she said, "I learned something today.

Díxome: "Hoxe aprendín algo.

I learned that I need to keep my hand up."

Aprendín que teño que manter a man erguida"

E díxenlle: "que queres dicir ?"

"What do you mean?"

She said, "You're giving this talk,

e dixo: "Ben, estabas dando a conferencia

and you said you would take two more questions.

e dixeches que ías atender dúas cuestións máis,

I had my hand up with many other people,

e eu, ao igual que moitos outros, tiña a miña man erguida, e contestaches dúas preguntas máis.

and you took two more questions.

E entón baixei a man e vin que todas as mulleres fixeron o mesmo,

I put my hand down, and I noticed all the women did the same,

e entón respondiches a máis preguntas

and then you took more questions,

só dos homes."

only from the men."

E pensei,

And I thought to myself,

"Wow, if it's me -- who cares about this, obviously --

vaia, se isto me acontece a min, algo que me preocupa,

giving this talk --

cando dou esta conferencia,

and during this talk, I can't even notice that the men's hands are still raised,

e mentres a daba nin sequera me dei conta

de que as mans dos homes estaban aínda erguidas,

and the women's hands are still raised,

e as mans das mulleres estaban aínda erguidas,

how good are we

a que nivel somos bos

as managers of our companies and our organizations

coma xestores das nosas empresas e organizacións

at seeing that the men are reaching for opportunities

para ver que os homes buscan máis oportunidades

more than women?"

que as mulleres?

We've got to get women to sit at the table.

Cómpre facer que as mulleres senten á mesa.

(Cheers)

(Applause)

(Aplausos)

Mensaxe número dous:

Message number two:

Make your partner a real partner.

fai do teu compañeiro un verdadeiro compañeiro.

I've become convinced that we've made more progress in the workforce

Estou convencida de que fixemos máis progreso no traballo

than we have in the home.

ca nas nosas casas.

The data shows this very clearly.

Os datos amósano con claridade.

If a woman and a man work full-time and have a child,

Se unha muller e un home traballan a tempo completo

e teñen un fillo

the woman does twice the amount of housework the man does,

a muller fai o dobre do traballo na casa có home

and the woman does three times the amount of childcare the man does.

e as mulleres dedican tres veces máis tempo

para coidar dos nenos cós homes.

So she's got three jobs or two jobs, and he's got one.

Entón ela ten tres ou dous traballos,

e el ten un.

Who do you think drops out when someone needs to be home more?

Quen pensades que deixará o traballo cando alguén teña que estar na casa?

As razóns disto son moi complicadas,

The causes of this are really complicated, and I don't have time to go into them.

e non teño tempo de entrar en detalles.

And I don't think Sunday football-watching and general laziness is the cause.

Mais non creo que o fútbol o domingo

ou a preguiza en xeral son a causa.

I think the cause is more complicated.

Coido que a causa é máis complicada.

Coido que, como sociedade,

I think, as a society,

we put more pressure on our boys to succeed

poñemos máis presión sobre os nosos fillos para ter éxito

than we do on our girls.

ca sobre as nosas fillas.

I know men that stay home

Coñezo homes que quedan na casa

and work in the home to support wives with careers,

e traballan na casa para apoiar a carreira das súas mulleres

e é difícil.

and it's hard.

When I go to the Mommy-and-Me stuff and I see the father there,

Cando vou a reunións de nais

e vexo alí ó pai,

I notice that the other mommies don't play with him.

doume conta que as outras nais

non interactúan con el.

And that's a problem,

E iso é un problema,

because we have to make it as important a job,

porque temos que dignificar o traballo

because it's the hardest job in the world to work inside the home,

porque é a cousa máis difícil do mundo, traballar na casa

for people of both genders,

para persoas de ambos sexos

if we're going to even things out and let women stay in the workforce.

se queremos igualar a cousa e que mulleres traballen fóra.

(Applause)

(Aplausos)

Studies show that households with equal earning

Os estudos amosan que familias con salarios

and equal responsibility

e responsabilidades similares

also have half the divorce rate.

tamén padecen a metade de divorcios.

And if that wasn't good enough motivation for everyone out there,

E se isto non é motivación suficiente para todo o mundo,

they also have more --

eles tamén teñen...

how shall I say this on this stage?

...como dicilo neste escenario?

They know each other more in the biblical sense as well.

Estas parellas coñecense mellor, no sentido bíblico tamén.

(Cheers)

(Risos)

Message number three:

Mensaxe número tres:

Don't leave before you leave.

non abandones antes de tempo.

I think there's a really deep irony

Creo que é unha grande ironía

to the fact that actions women are taking --

que as mulleres tomen medidas,

and I see this all the time --

e véxoo todo o tempo,

with the objective of staying in the workforce

co fin de seguir traballando,

actually lead to their eventually leaving.

e que en realidade as leva a deixar o traballo.

Here's what happens:

Isto é o que acontece:

We're all busy. Everyone's busy. A woman's busy.

todos estamos moi ocupados, todo o mundo, as mulleres están ocupadas.

And she starts thinking about having a child,

E a muller comeza a pensar en ter un fillo.

and from the moment she starts thinking about having a child,

E dende o momento que empeza a pensar en ter un fillo

she starts thinking about making room for that child.

comeza a pensar en encontrar o tempo para o seu fillo.

"Como podo combinar iso con todo o que fago?"

"How am I going to fit this into everything else I'm doing?"

And literally from that moment,

E, literalmente, a partir daquel momento,

deixa de erguer a man,

she doesn't raise her hand anymore,

she doesn't look for a promotion, she doesn't take on the new project,

xa non procura un ascenso, xa non inicia un novo proxecto,

she doesn't say, "Me. I want to do that."

xa non di, "Eu quero facelo".

She starts leaning back.

Comeza a botarse para atrás.

The problem is that --

O problema é que ...

let's say she got pregnant that day, that day --

digamos que fica en cinta, ese dia

nine months of pregnancy, three months of maternity leave,

nove meses de xestación, tres meses de licencia de maternidade

six months to catch your breath --

seis meses para recuperar o alento,

Fast-forward two years,

e pasan dous anos,

more often -- and as I've seen it --

con moita frecuencia... coma teño visto,

women start thinking about this way earlier --

as mulleres comezan a pensar sobre iso moito antes,

when they get engaged, or married,

cando se comprometen, cando casan,

when they start thinking about having a child,

cando comezan a pensar en tentar ter un fillo, algo que pode levar moito tempo.

which can take a long time.

Unha vez unha muller viu a verme para falar diso

One woman came to see me about this.

e mirei para ela pareceume una rapaciña.

She looked a little young.

And I said, "So are you and your husband thinking about having a baby?"

E díxenlle: "Entón ti e o teu marido estades a pensar en ter un fillo?"

E dixo: "Non, non estou casada."

And she said, "Oh no, I'm not married."

She didn't even have a boyfriend.

Nin sequera tiña un mozo.

(Laughter)

I said, "You're thinking about this just way too early."

E dixen: "Estás a pensar sobre isto

moi cedo".

But the point is that what happens

Mais o argumento é, que ocorre

once you start kind of quietly leaning back?

cando un comeza a retirarse lentamente?

Everyone who's been through this --

Todos os que pasaron por isto...

and I'm here to tell you, once you have a child at home,

e estou aquí para dicirvos, que cando hai un neno na casa

your job better be really good to go back,

máis vale que o teu traballo sexa bo

because it's hard to leave that kid at home.

porque é moi difícil deixar o neno na casa,

o teu traballo ten que ser un desafío.

Your job needs to be challenging.

Ten que darte satisfacción.

It needs to be rewarding.

You need to feel like you're making a difference.

Tes que sentir que estás marcando a diferenza.

And if two years ago you didn't take a promotion

E se hai dous anos non acadaches o ascenso

and some guy next to you did,

e algún home no traballo o conseguiu,

if three years ago you stopped looking for new opportunities,

se hai tres anos

deixaches de procurar novas oportunidades

you're going to be bored

vas estar aburrida

because you should have kept your foot on the gas pedal.

porque deberías ter deixado o pé no acelerador.

Don't leave before you leave.

Non abandones antes de tempo.

Stay in.

Queda.

Keep your foot on the gas pedal,

Mantén o pé no acelerador

until the very day you need to leave to take a break for a child --

ata que de verdade teñas que marchar

para ocuparte do teu fillo

and then make your decisions.

e só entón toma as túas decisións.

Non tomes decisións demasiado cedo,

Don't make decisions too far in advance,

particularly ones you're not even conscious you're making.

especialmente daquelas que nin sequera sabes que as estás tomando.

My generation really, sadly,

A miña xeración realmente, e por desgracia,

is not going to change the numbers at the top.

non vai cambiar os números que hai no cume.

They're just not moving.

Non están a cambiar.

We are not going to get to where 50 percent of the population --

Non imos chegar a ese 50% da poboación...

in my generation, there will not be 50 percent of [women]

...na miña xeración, non haberá un 50% de mulleres

at the top of any industry.

en postos superiores de calquera sector.

Pero agardo que sexa así en xeracións futuras.

But I'm hopeful that future generations can.

I think a world where half of our countries and our companies

Coido que un mundo

onde a metade dos países e metade das empresas

fosen gobernados por mulleres, sería un mundo mellor.

were run by women, would be a better world.

It's not just because people would know where the women's bathrooms are,

E non só porque a xente sabería onde están os baños para as mulleres,

o que sería moi útil.

even though that would be very helpful.

I think it would be a better world.

Coido que sería un mundo mellor.

Teño dous fillos.

I have two children.

I have a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter.

Teño un fillo de cinco anos e unha filla de dous anos.

I want my son to have a choice

Quero que o meu fillo teña a oportunidade

to contribute fully in the workforce or at home,

de contribuír plenamente no lugar de traballo ou na casa

and I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed,

e quero que miña filla teña a oportunidade de escoller

non só para ter exito,

but to be liked for her accomplishments.

mais para ser amada polos seus logros.

Grazas.

Thank you.
