Prevoditelj: Senzos Osijek Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

I'm talking to you about

Govorim vam o

the worst form of human rights violation,

najgorem obliku kršenja ljudskih prava,

the third-largest organized crime,

trećem najvećem organiziranom kriminalu u svijetu,

a $10 billion industry.

industriji vrijednoj 10 milijardi dolara.

I'm talking to you about modern-day slavery.

Govorim vam o ropstvu modernog društva.

I'd like to tell you the story

Željela bih vam ispričati priču

of these three children,

o ovo troje djece,

Pranitha, Shaheen and Anjali.

Pranithi, Shaheen i Anjali.

Pranitha's mother was a woman in prostitution,

Pranithina majka bila je žena koja se bavila prostitucijom,

a prostituted person.

prostituirana osoba.

She got infected with HIV,

Inficirala se HIV-om

and towards the end of her life,

i kako se bližio kraj njenog života,

when she was in the final stages of AIDS,

u krajnjim stadijima AIDS-a,

she could not prostitute,

više se nije mogla prostituirati,

so she sold four-year-old Pranitha to a broker.

pa je prodala četverogodišnju Pranithu trgovačkom posredniku.

By the time we got the information, we reached there,

Kada smo dobili tu informaciju, došli smo tamo,

Pranitha was already raped by three men.

a Pranithu su već silovala tri muškarca.

Shaheen's background I don't even know.

Shaheeninu pozadinu čak ni ne znam.

We found her in a railway track,

Našli smo je na željezničkoj pruzi,

raped by many, many men, I don't know many.

silovalo ju je mnogo, mnogo muškaraca, ne znam koliko.

But the indications of that on her body was

Ali pokazatelji toga bili su ti

that her intestine was outside her body.

da su joj crijeva bila izvan tijela.

And when we took her to the hospital

I kada smo je odveli u bolnicu

she needed 32 stitches to put back her intestine into her body.

trebalo je 32 šava ne bi li joj mogli vratiti crijeva unutar tijela.

We still don't know who her parents are, who she is.

Još uvijek ne znamo tko su joj roditelji, ni tko je ona.

All that we know that hundreds of men

Sve što znamo je to da ju je stotine muškaraca

had used her brutally.

brutalno iskoristilo.

Anjali's father, a drunkard,

Anjalin otac, alkoholičar,

sold his child for pornography.

prodao je svoje dijete zbog pornografije.

You're seeing here images of

Ovdje vidite slike djece

three years, four-year-olds, and five-year-old children

od tri, četiri i pet godina

who have been trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation.

koja su bila žrtve trgovine ljudima zbog komercijalne seksualne eksploatacije.

In this country, and across the globe,

U ovoj zemlji i širom svijeta

hundreds and thousands of children,

stotine i tisuće djece

as young as three, as young as four,

stare tri ili četiri godine

are sold into sexual slavery.

prodane su kao seksualno roblje.

But that's not the only purpose that human beings are sold for.

Ali to nije jedina namjena za prodaju ljudskih bića.

They are sold in the name of adoption.

Prodaju se zbog posvajanja.

They are sold in the name of organ trade.

Prodaju se zbog trgovine organima.

They are sold in the name of forced labor,

Prodaju se zbog prisilnog rada,

camel jockeying, anything, everything.

utrka na devama, zbog bilo čega, ma svega.

I work on the issue of commercial sexual exploitation.

Radim na predmetu komercijalne seksualne eksploatacije.

And I tell you stories from there.

I govorim vam priče koje sam čula tamo.

My own journey to work with these children

Moj vlastiti put do rada s ovakvom djecom

started as a teenager.

započeo je još dok sam bila tinejdžerica.

I was 15 when I was gang-raped by eight men.

Imala sam 15 godina i silovala me skupina od osam muškaraca.

I don't remember the rape part of it so much

Ne sjećam se toliko samog silovanja

as much as the anger part of it.

koliko se sjećam bijesa.

Yes, there were eight men who defiled me, raped me,

Da, to je bilo osam muškaraca koji su me oskvrnuli, silovali,

but that didn't go into my consciousness.

ali toga nisam bila svjesna.

I never felt like a victim, then or now.

Nikada se nisam osjećala kao žrtva, ni tada ni sada.

But what lingered from then till now -- I am 40 today --

Ali ono što je ostalo od tada do sada – sada imam 40 godina –

is this huge outrageous anger.

je taj veliki, nečuveni bijes.

Two years, I was ostracized, I was stigmatized, I was isolated,

Dvije godine sam bila prognana, obilježena, izolirana,

because I was a victim.

zato što sam bila žrtva.

And that's what we do to all traffic survivors.

I to je ono što mi radimo svim žrtvama trgovine ljudima.

We, as a society, we have PhDs

Mi, kao zajednica, imamo doktorate

in victimizing a victim.

o žrtvovanju žrtava.

Right from the age of 15,

Sve od petnaeste godine,

when I started looking around me,

kad sam počela gledati oko sebe,

I started seeing hundreds and thousands of women and children

vidjela sam stotine i tisuće žena i djece

who are left in sexual slavery-like practices,

koji su ostavljeni u seksualne odnose slične ropstvu,

but have absolutely no respite,

ali nemaju predaha

because we don't allow them to come in.

jer im ne dozvoljavamo da dođu.

Where does their journey begin?

Gdje počinje njihovo putovanje?

Most of them come from very optionless families,

Većina njih dolazi iz veoma različitih obitelji,

not just poor.

ne samo siromašnih.

You have even the middle class sometimes getting trafficked.

Žrtve trgovine ljudima su ponekad čak iz srednje klase.

I had this I.S. officer's daughter,

Imala sam kćer časnice indijske administrativne službe

who is 14 years old, studying in ninth standard,

koja je imala 14 godina, išla u 1. razred srednje škole

who was raped chatting with one individual,

i silovana je razgovarajući s jednom osobom

and ran away from home because she wanted to become a heroine,

te pobjegla od kuće jer je željela postati junakinja,

who was trafficked.

koja je bila žrtvom trgovine ljudima.

I have hundreds and thousands of stories of very very well-to-do families,

Imam stotine i tisuće priča o dobrostojećim obiteljima

and children from well-to-do families,

i djeci iz dobrostojećih obitelji

who are getting trafficked.

koje su žrtve trgovanja ljudima.

These people are deceived, forced.

Ovi ljudi su prevareni, prisiljeni.

99.9 percent of them

99,9 posto njih

resist being inducted into prostitution.

opire se tome da budu uvedeni u prostituciju.

Some pay the price for it.

Neki za to i plate.

They're killed; we don't even hear about them.

Ubijeni su, čak ni ne čujemo za njih.

They are voiceless, [unclear],

To su nijemi,

nameless people.

bezimeni ljudi.

But the rest, who succumb into it,

Ali ostali, koji podlegnu tome,

go through everyday torture.

prolaze kroz svakodnevnu muku.

Because the men who come to them are not men who want to make you your girlfriends,

Zato što muškarci koji im dolaze nisu muškarci koji vas žele za djevojku

or who want to have a family with you.

i ne žele stvoriti obitelj s vama.

These are men who buy you for an hour, for a day,

To su muškarci koji vas kupe na sat ili dan

and use you, throw you.

i iskoriste vas, bace vas.

Each of the girls that I have rescued --

Svaka od djevojaka koju sam spasila -

I have rescued more than 3,200 girls --

a spasila sam više od 3.200 djevojaka -

each of them tell me one story in common ...

svaka od njih mi priča jednu zajedničku priču ...

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

one story about one man, at least,

Priču o najmanje jednom muškarcu

putting chili powder in her vagina,

koji im stavlja čili u vaginu,

one man taking a cigarette and burning her,

o jednom koji je ožari cigaretom,

one man whipping her.

o jednom koji je bičuje.

We are living among those men: they're our brothers, fathers,

Mi živimo među tim muškarcima: oni su naša braća, naši očevi,

uncles, cousins, all around us.

ujaci, bratići, svuda oko nas.

And we are silent about them.

I šutimo o njima.

We think it is easy money.

Mi mislimo da je to laka zarada.

We think it is shortcut.

Mislimo da je to prečica.

We think the person likes to do what she's doing.

Mislimo da osoba voli to što radi.

But the extra bonuses that she gets

Ali „dodaci“ koje ona „osvaja“ su

is various infections, sexually transmitted infections,

razne infekcije, spolno prenosive bolesti,

HIV, AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, you name it,

HIV, AIDS, sifilis, gonoreja, što god vam padne na pamet,

substance abuse, drugs, everything under the sun.

ovisnosti, droge, sve što se može naći pod kapom nebeskom.

And one day she gives up on you and me,

I jednog dana, ona odustane od vas i od mene

because we have no options for her.

zato što joj ne damo izbor.

And therefore she starts normalizing this exploitation.

I zato to iskorištavanje počinje smatrati normalnim.

She believes, "Yes, this is it, this is what my destiny is about."

Vjeruje, „ Da, to je to, to je moja sudbina“.

And this is normal, to get raped by 100 men a day.

Normalno je da ju siluje sto muškaraca na dan,

And it's abnormal to live in a shelter.

a nenormalno je živjeti u prihvatilištu.

It's abnormal to get rehabilitated.

Nenormalno je ići na odvikavanje.

It's in that context that I work.

U takvom okruženju ja radim.

It's in that context that I rescue children.

U takvom okruženju ja spašavam djecu.

I've rescued children as young as three years,

Spasila sam djecu staru samo tri godine,

and I've rescued women as old as 40 years.

ali spasila sam i ženu staru 40 godina.

When I rescued them, one of the biggest challenges I had

Kad sam ih spasila, jedan od najvećih izazova s kojim sam se trebala suočiti

was where do I begin.

bio je gdje početi.

Because I had lots of them

Imala sam mnogo njih

who were already HIV infected.

koji su već bili zaraženi HIV-om.

One third of the people I rescue

Trećina ljudi koje sam spasila

are HIV positive.

bili su zaraženi HIV-om.

And therefore my challenge was to

I stoga je moj izazov bio

understand how can I get out

shvatiti kako izvojevati

the power from this pain.

pobjedu iz tolike boli.

And for me, I was my greatest experience.

Što se mene ticalo, sama sam si bila najveći izvor iskustva.

Understanding my own self,

Razumjeti samu sebe,

understanding my own pain,

razumjeti svoju vlastitu bol,

my own isolation,

vlastitu izolaciju,

was my greatest teacher.

bilo je moj najveći učitelj.

Because what we did with these girls

Jer ono što smo mi pokušali s djevojkama

is to understand their potential.

jest shvatiti njihov potencijal.

You see a girl here who is trained as a welder.

Ovdje vidimo djevojku koja je obučena za zavarivačicu.

She works for a very big company,

Radi za vrlo veliku tvrtku,

a workshop in Hyderabad,

u radionici u Hyderabadu,

making furnitures.

gdje izrađuje namještaj.

She earns around 12,000 rupees.

Zarađuje oko 12.000 rupija.

She is an illiterate girl,

Ta djevojka je nepismena,

trained, skilled as a welder.

ali prošla je obuku da može biti zavarivačica.

Why welding and why not computers?

Zašto varenje, a ne rad na kompjuteru?

We felt, one of the things that these girls had

Smatrali smo da je jedna od stvari koju te djevojke posjeduju

is immense amount of courage.

neizmjerna hrabrost.

They did not have any pardas inside their body,

One nisu u sebi imale razvijen osjećaj pripadnosti klasama,

hijabs inside themselves;

nit osjećaj postojanja rodnih razlika;

they've crossed the barrier of it.

prešle su granice tih rodnih i klasnih razlika.

And therefore they could fight in a male-dominated world,

Stoga se vrlo lako mogu boriti u „muškom svijetu“

very easily, and not feel very shy about it.

bez osjećaja stida.

We have trained girls as carpenters,

Djevojke su prošle obuke za stolare,

as masons,

zidare,

as security guards, as cab drivers.

zaštitare, vozače taksija.

And each one of them are excelling

I svaka od njih napreduje

in their chosen field,

u svojoj odabranoj domeni,

gaining confidence, restoring dignity,

razvija samopouzdanje, jača osjećaj dostojanstva

and building hopes in their own lives.

i ponovno gradi nadu u vlastiti život.

These girls are also working in big construction companies

Te djevojke također rade u velikim građevinskim tvrtkama,

like Ram-ki construction, as masons, full-time masons.

kao što je Ram-ki građevinska tvrtka, kao zidari i to puno radno vrijeme.

What has been my challenge?

Što je bio moj izazov?

My challenge has not been the traffickers who beat me up.

Moj izazov nisu bili trgovci ljudima koji su me premlaćivali.

I've been beaten up more than 14 times in my life.

Do sada sam pretučena više od 14 puta.

I can't hear from my right ear.

Ne čujem na desno uho.

I've lost a staff of mine who was murdered

Jedan od mojih zaposlenika ubijen je

while on a rescue.

za vrijeme spašavanja.

My biggest challenge

Moj je najveći izazov

is society.

društvo.

It's you and me.

To smo vi i ja.

My biggest challenge is your blocks to accept these victims

Moj najveći izazov vaše je neprihvaćanje ovih žrtava

as our own.

u društvo.

A very supportive friend of mine,

Jedna moja prijateljica koja mi pruža veliku podršku,

a well-wisher of mine,

moja odana prijateljica,

used to give me every month, 2,000 rupees for vegetables.

svaki mi je mjesec davala 2.000 rupija za povrće.

When her mother fell sick she said,

Kad joj se majka razboljela rekla mi je,

"Sunitha, you have so much of contacts.

„Sunitha, ti poznaješ mnogo ljudi.

Can you get somebody in my house to work,

Možeš li pronaći nekoga da radi kod mene u kući

so that she can look after my mother?"

i brine za moju majku?“

And there is a long pause.

Nakon toga uslijedila je duga stanka.

And then she says, "Not one of our girls."

I ona je tada rekla: „Ne neku od naših djevojaka."

It's very fashionable to talk about human trafficking,

Vrlo je pomodno govoriti o trgovanju ljudima

in this fantastic A-C hall.

u ovom predivnom klimatiziranom prostoru.

It's very nice for discussion, discourse,

Tema je vrlo zahvalna za rasprave, razgovore,

making films and everything.

snimanje filmova i slično.

But it is not nice to bring them to our homes.

Ali nije prihvatljivo dovesti žrtve trgovine ljudima u svoj dom.

It's not nice to give them employment in our factories, our companies.

Nije više zanimljivo kada ih treba zaposliti u našim tvornicama i tvrtkama.

It's not nice for our children to study with their children.

Ne prihvaćamo da naša djeca uče s njihovom djecom.

There it ends.

Tu priča staje.

That's my biggest challenge.

To je moj najveći izazov.

If I'm here today, I'm here not only as Sunitha Krishnan.

Ako sam ja ovdje danas, nisam samo Sunitha Krishnan.

I'm here as a voice of the victims and survivors of human trafficking.

Ja sam ovdje glas svih žrtava trgovine ljudima i onih koji su preživjeli.

They need your compassion.

Oni trebaju vaše sažaljenje.

They need your empathy.

Oni trebaju vaše suosjećanje.

They need, much more than anything else,

Oni trebaju, više od svega,

your acceptance.

vaše prihvaćanje.

Many times when I talk to people,

Često kada razgovaram s ljudima,

I keep telling them one thing:

kažem im jednu stvar:

don't tell me hundred ways

nemojte mi reći stotinu načina

how you cannot respond to this problem.

što ne možete učiniti u vezi tog problema.

Can you ply your mind for that one way

Možete li usmjeriti svoj um na onaj jedan način

that you can respond to the problem?

što možete učiniti da se problem riješi?

And that's what I'm here for,

I zato sam ja tu,

asking for your support,

molim vašu potporu,

demanding for your support,

zahtijevam vašu potporu,

requesting for your support.

tražim vašu potporu.

Can you break your culture of silence?

Možete li prekinuti politiku šutnje?

Can you speak to at least two persons about this story?

Možete li razgovarati s barem dvije osobe o toj priči?

Tell them this story. Convince them to tell the story to another two persons.

Ispričajte im tu priču. Uvjerite ih da ju ispričaju dvjema drugim osobama.

I'm not asking you all to become Mahatma Gandhis

Ne tražim od vas da postanete Mahatma Gandhi,

or Martin Luther Kings, or Medha Patkars,

Martin Luther King, ili Medha Patkar,

or something like that.

ili tkogod slično.

I'm asking you, in your limited world,

Tražim od vas da u svom ograničenom svijetu

can you open your minds? Can you open your hearts?

otvorite svoje umove. Možete li otvoriti svoja srca?

Can you just encompass these people too?

Možete li prihvatiti te ljude?

Because they are also a part of us.

Jer oni su dio nas.

They are also part of this world.

Oni su također dio ovoga svijeta.

I'm asking you, for these children,

Tražim to od vas zbog ove djece,

whose faces you see, they're no more.

čije slike gledate, koja više nisu s nama.

They died of AIDS last year.

Umrli su od AIDS-a prošle godine.

I'm asking you to help them,

Molim vas da im pomognete,

accept as human beings --

da ih prihvatite kao ljudska bića,

not as philanthropy, not as charity,

ne zbog čovjekoljublja ili milosrđa,

but as human beings who deserve all our support.

već zbog toga što su ljudska bića koja zaslužuju svu našu potporu.

I'm asking you this because no child, no human being,

Tražim to od vas jer nijedno dijete, nijedno ljudsko biće

deserves what these children have gone through.

ne zaslužuje ono što su ova djeca prošla.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
