Translator: Laksmi Wijayanti Reviewer: Arinta Puspitasari

(Arabic) I seek refuge in Allah from cursed Satan. In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.

Aku berlindung pada Allah dari setan. Dengan nama Allah, Yang Maha Pengasih.

(English) I was born in a middle class family.

Saya lahir di keluarga menengah.

My father was five years old when he lost his father,

Ayah saya berusia lima tahun ketika ayahnya meninggal,

but by the time I was born,

namun ketika saya lahir,

he was already a businessman.

beliau sudah menjadi pebisnis.

But it didn't make a difference to him

Bagi beliau, tidak ada bedanya

if his children were going to be a boy or a girl:

apakah anaknya laki-laki atau perempuan:

they were going to go to school.

semua harus sekolah.

So I guess I was the lucky one.

Saya sungguh beruntung.

My mother had 16 pregnancies.

Ibu saya pernah mengandung 16 kali.

From 16 pregnancies, five of us are alive.

Dari 16 itu, 5 dari kami yang bertahan.

You can imagine as a child what I went through.

Anda bisa bayangkan apa yang saya alami semasa saya kecil.

Day to day, I watched women

Setiap hari, saya menyaksikan perempuan

being carried to a graveyard,

digotong ke kuburan,

or watched children going to a graveyard.

atau melihat anak-anak dikubur.

At that time, when I finished my high school,

Saat itu, ketika saya menyelesaikan SMA,

I really wanted to be a doctor.

saya sangat ingin menjadi dokter.

I wanted to be a doctor to help women and children.

Saya ingin menjadi dokter untuk membantu perempuan dan anak-anak.

So I completed my education,

Saya selesaikan pendidikan saya,

but I wanted to go to university.

namun saya ingin kuliah.

Unfortunately, in my country, there wasn't a dormitory for girls,

Sayangnya di negara saya tidak ada asrama perempuan,

so I was accepted in medical school, but I could not go there.

saya diterima di sekolah kedokteran, tapi tidak bisa pergi ke sana.

So as a result, my father sent me to America.

Oleh karena itu, ayah mengirim saya ke Amerika.

I came to America.

Saya tiba di Amerika.

I completed my education.

Saya selesaikan kuliah.

While I was completing my education,

Ketika saya menyelesaikan kuliah saya,

my country was invaded by Russia.

negara saya diserang oleh Rusia.

And do you know that at the time I was completing my education,

Dan tahukah Anda pada saat saya menyelesaikan kuliah,

I didn't know what was going on with my family or with my country.

saya tidak tahu apa yang terjadi dengan keluarga maupun negara saya.

There were months, years, I didn't know about it.

Berbulan-bulan, betahun-tahun, saya tidak tahu.

My family was in a refugee camp.

Keluarga saya berada di kamp pengungsi.

So as soon as I completed my education,

Maka begitu saya selesaikan kuliah,

I brought my family to America.

saya bawa keluarga saya ke Amerika.

I wanted them to be safe.

Saya ingin mereka selamat.

But where was my heart?

Namun di mana hati saya?

My heart was in Afghanistan.

Hati saya ada di Afghanistan.

Day after day, when I listened to the news,

Setiap hari, ketika mendengarkan berita,

when I followed what was going on with my country,

ketika mengikuti apa yang terjadi dengan negara saya,

my heart was breaking up.

hati saya hancur.

I really wanted to go back to my country,

Saya sangat ingin kembali ke sana,

but at the same time I knew I could not go there,

namun saat bersamaan saya tahu saya tidak bisa,

because there was no place for me.

karena tidak ada tempat bagi saya.

I had a good job.

Saya punya pekerjaan bagus.

I was a professor at a university.

Saya profesor di sebuah universitas.

I earned good money.

Penghasilan saya bagus.

I had a good life.

Hidup saya nyaman.

My family was here.

Keluarga saya di sini.

I could live with them.

Saya bisa tinggal bersama mereka.

But I wasn't happy.

Namun saya tidak bahagia.

I wanted to go back home.

Saya ingin pulang.

So I went to the refugee camp.

Maka saya pergi ke kamp pengungsi.

And when I went to the refugee camp in Pakistan,

Ketika saya pergi ke kamp pengungsian di Pakistan,

there were 7.5 million refugees.

ada 7,5 juta pengungsi.

7.5 million refugees.

7,5 juta pengungsi.

About 90 percent of them were women and children.

Sekitar 90 persennya adalah perempuan dan anak-anak.

Most of the men have been killed or they were in war.

Kebanyakan laki-laki sudah terbunuh atau ada dalam perang.

And you know, in the refugee camp,

Dan Anda tahu, di kamp pengungsian,

when I went day-to-day to do a survey,

saat saya melakukan survei setiap hari,

I found things you never could imagine.

saya menemukan hal yang Anda tidak bisa bayangkan.

I saw a widow with five to eight children

Saya melihat janda dengan lima sampai delapan anak

sitting there and weeping

duduk di sana dan meratap

and not knowing what to do.

dan tidak tahu harus berbuat apa.

I saw a young woman have no way to go anywhere,

Saya melihat seorang wanita muda tidak bisa kemana-mana,

no education, no entertainment, no place to even live.

tidak punya pendidikan, hiburan, bahkan tempat untuk tinggal.

I saw young men that had lost their father and their home,

Saya melihat anak laki-laki yang kehilangan ayah dan rumahnya,

and they are supporting the family as a 10-to-12-year old boy --

dan mereka menanggung keluarga dalam usia 10 atau 12 tahun --

being the head of the household,

menjadi kepala keluarga,

trying to protect their sister and their mother and their children.

melindungi kakak dan ibu dan saudaranya.

So it was a very devastating situation.

Sungguh situasi yang menyedihkan.

My heart was beating for my people,

Jantung saya berdegup untuk mereka,

and I didn't know what to do.

tapi saya tidak tahu harus bagaimana.

At that moment, we talk about momentum.

Saat itu, kita bicara tentang momentum.

At that moment, I felt, what can I do for these people?

Saat itu, saya pikir, apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk mereka?

How could I help these people?

Bagaimana saya bisa membantu mereka?

I am one individual. What can I do for them?

Saya hanya sendiri. Apa yang bisa saya lakukan?

But at that moment, I knew

Namun saat itu saya tahu

that education changed my life.

bahwa pendidikan mengubah hidup saya.

It transformed me. It gave me status.

Pendidikan mengubah saya, memberi saya status.

It gave me confidence. It gave me a career.

Memberi saya rasa percaya diri dan karir.

It helped me to support my family,

Membantu saya menunjang keluarga,

to bring my family to another country,

membawa keluarga saya ke negara lain,

to be safe.

agar mereka selamat.

And I knew that at that moment

Dan saya tahu saat itu

that what I should give to my people is education and health,

bahwa saya harus memberikan pendidikan dan kesehatan bagi bangsa saya,

and that's what I went after.

dan itulah yang saya ingin capai.

But do you think it was easy?

Tapi apakah itu mudah?

No, because at that time, education was banned for girls, completely.

Tidak, karena saat itu, pendidikan dilarang untuk perempuan, sepenuhnya.

And also, by Russia invading Afghanistan,

Selain itu, ketika Rusia menyerang Afghanistan,

people were not trusting anyone.

masyarakat hilang kepercayaan satu sama lain.

It was very hard to come and say, "I want to do this."

Sangat susah untuk bicara, "Saya ingin melakukan ini."

Who am I?

Siapa saya?

Somebody who comes from the United States.

Seseorang dari Amerika Serikat.

Somebody who got educated here.

Yang mengenyam pendidikan di sana.

Did they trust me? Of course not.

Apa mereka percaya saya? Tentu tidak.

So I really needed to build the trust in this community.

Jadi saya betul-betul perlu membangun kepercayaan di komunitas ini.

How am I going to do that?

Bagaimana caranya?

I went and surveyed and looked and looked.

Saya pergi dan meninjau sekeliling.

I asked.

Saya bertanya.

Finally, I found one man.

Akhirnya saya menemukan seorang pria.

He was 80 years old.

Ia berusia 80 tahun.

He was a mullah.

Ia seorang mullah (tokoh agama Islam).

I went to his tent in the camp,

Saya pergi ke tendanya di kamp

and I asked him,

dan saya berkata,

"I want to make you a teacher."

"Saya ingin menjadikan Anda guru."

And he looked at me,

Dan ia melihat saya,

and he said, "Crazy woman,

dan berkata, "Wanita gila,

crazy woman, how do you think I can be a teacher?"

bagaimana kamu pikir saya bisa jadi guru?"

And I told him, "I will make you a teacher."

Dan saya bilang, "Saya akan jadikan Anda guru."

Finally, he accepted my offer,

Akhirnya ia menerima tawaran saya,

and once I started a class in his compound,

begitu saya memulai kelas di tendanya,

the word spread all over.

kabarnya menyebar kemana-mana.

In a matter of one year,

Dalam setahun,

we had 25 schools set up,

kami mendirikan 25 sekolah,

15,000 children going to school,

15.000 anak bersekolah,

and it was amazing.

sungguh luar biasa.

(Applause)

(Tepuk tangan)

Thank you.

Terima kasih.

Thank you.

Terima kasih.

But of course, we're doing all our work, we were giving teacher training.

Tentu saja, kami mengerjakan semua, memberi pelatihan pada para guru.

We were training women's rights, human rights, democracy, rule of law.

Kami mengajarkan hak-hak wanita, HAM, demokrasi, dan aturan hukum.

We were giving all kinds of training.

Kami memberi berbagai macam pelatihan.

And one day, I tell you,

Suatu hari

one day I was in the office in Peshawar, Pakistan.

saya berada di kantor di Peshawar, Pakistan.

All of a sudden, I saw my staff running to rooms and locking the doors

Tiba-tiba staf saya berlarian masuk dan mengunci semua pintu

and telling me, "Run away, hide!"

dan berkata, "Cepat lari, sembunyi!"

And you know, as a leader, what do you do?

Anda tahu, sebagai pemimpin, apa yang Anda lakukan?

You're scared. You know it's dangerous.

Anda takut. Anda tahu itu berbahaya.

You know your life is on the line.

Anda tahu nyawa lah taruhannya.

But as a leader, you have to hold it together.

Namun sebagai pemimpin, Anda harus bisa tenang.

You have to hold it together and show strength.

Anda harus tenang dan harus kuat.

So I said, "What's going on?"

Maka saya bertanya, "Ada apa?"

And these people were pouring into my office.

Lalu beberapa orang berhambur masuk ke dalam kantor saya.

So I invited them to the office.

Maka saya persilakan mereka masuk.

They came, and there were nine of them -- nine Taliban.

Mereka datang, ada 9 orang -- 9 orang Taliban.

They were the ugliest looking men you can ever see.

Mereka pria terjelek yang pernah ada.

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

Very mean-looking people,

Mereka terlihat beringas,

black clothes, black turban,

baju dan turban hitam-hitam,

and they pour into my office.

dan mereka berhambur masuk ke kantor saya.

And I invited them to have a seat and have tea.

Saya mempersilakan mereka duduk dan menyuguhi mereka teh.

They said no. They are not going to drink tea.

Mereka menolak. Mereka tidak mau minum teh.

And of course, with the tone of voice they were using,

Dan tentu saja, mendengar nada bicara yang mereka gunakan,

it was very scary,

rasanya sangat menakutkan

but I was really shaking up.

dan rasanya saya menggigil ketakutan.

But also I was strong, holding myself up.

Namun saya juga kuat dan berusaha tenang.

And, of course, by that time, you know how I dress --

Pada saat itu, Anda tahu bagaimana saya berpakaian

I dress from head to toe in a black hijab.

Saya memakai hijab dari ujung rambut sampai kaki.

The only thing you could see, my eyes.

Yang bisa Anda lihat hanya mata saya.

They asked me, "What are you doing?

Mereka bertanya, "Apa yang kamu lakukan?

Don't you know that school is banned for girls?

Bukankah kamu tahu sekolah itu dilarang untuk anak perempuan?

What are you doing here?"

Apa yang kamu lakukan di sini?"

And you know, I just looked at them,

Dan saya hanya menatap mereka,

and I said, "What school? Where is the school?"

dan bilang, "Sekolah apa? Di mana ada sekolah?"

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

(Applause)

(Tepuk tangan)

And they look at my face, and they said, "You are teaching girls here."

Lalu mereka menatap muka saya dan berkata, "Kamu mengajar anak perempuan di sini."

I said, "This is a house of somebody.

Saya bilang, "Ini rumah seseorang.

We have some students coming,

Murid-murid datang

and they are all learning Koran, Holy Book.

dan mereka semua mempelajari Al Qur'an, Kitab Suci.

And you know, Koran says that if you learn the Holy Book, the woman,

Kamu tahu kan, di Al Qur'an disebutkan jika kamu mempelajarinya,

they can be a good wife,

perempuan bisa jadi istri yang baik

and they can obey their husband."

dan mereka bisa mematuhi suami."

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

And I tell you one thing:

Betul-betul

that's the way you work with those people, and you know --

begitulah caranya menghadapi orang-orang seperti itu --

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

So by that time, they started speaking Pashto.

Lalu mereka mulai berbicara dalam bahasa Pashto.

They talked to each other,

Mereka berbicara satu sama lain,

and they said, "Let's go, leave her alone, she's OK."

lalu berkata, "Ayo pergi. Tinggalkan dia, tak apa-apa."

And you know, this time, I offered them tea again,

Kali ini saya tawarkan teh lagi

and they took a sip and they left.

dan mereka minum lalu tertawa.

By that time, my staff poured into my office.

Setelah mereka pergi, staf saya berhamburan ke kantor.

They were scared to death.

Mereka ketakutan setengah mati.

They didn't know why they didn't kill me.

Mereka tidak tahu kenapa Taliban tidak membunuh saya.

They didn't know why they didn't take me away.

Atau kenapa saya tidak ditahan.

But everybody was happy to see me.

Namun semua senang melihat saya.

Very happy, and I was happy to be alive, of course.

Dan saya sangat senang karena masih hidup tentunya.

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

Of course, I was happy to be alive.

Tentu, saya bersyukur masih hidup.

But also, as we continuously gave training during the fall of the Taliban --

Seiring dengan jatuhnya Taliban, kami tetap mengajar --

of course during the Taliban there is another story.

tentunya selama era Taliban ceritanya berbeda.

We went underground and we provided education for 80 schoolgirls,

Kami mengajar di bawah tanah dan mengajar 80 anak perempuan,

3,000 students underground, and continuously we trained.

lalu berkembang jadi 3,000, dan kami terus mengajar.

With the fall of the Taliban, we went into the country,

Ketika Taliban jatuh, kami pergi ke pedesaan,

and we opened school after school.

kami buka sekolah-sekolah.

We opened women's learning center.

Kami dirikan pusat pendidikan perempuan.

We continuously opened clinics.

Kami terus membuka klinik.

We worked with mothers and children.

Kami bekerja sama dengan ibu dan anak.

We had reproductive health training.

Kami ajarkan kesehatan reproduktif.

We had all kinds of training that you can imagine.

Kami berikan segala pelatihan yang bisa Anda bayangkan.

I was very happy. I was delighted with the outcome of my work.

Saya sangat senang dan puas dengan hasil kerja saya.

And one day, with four trainers and one bodyguard,

Suatu hari, dengan empat pengajar dan satu pengawal,

I was going up north of Kabul,

Saya pergi ke utara Kabul

and all of a sudden, again,

dan tiba-tiba, lagi-lagi

I was stopped in the middle of the road

saya dihentikan di tengah jalan

by 19 young men.

oleh 19 pemuda.

Rifles on their shoulders, they blocked the road.

Senapan di pundaknya, mereka memblokade jalan.

And I told my driver, "What's going on?"

Saya tanya ke pengemudinya, "Ada apa?"

And the driver said, "I don't know."

Dan ia bilang, "Saya tidak tahu."

He asked them. They said, "We have nothing to do with you."

Mereka bilang, "Kami tidak ada urusan denganmu."

They called my name. They said, "We want her."

Mereka memanggil nama saya. Mereka bilang, "Kami mau dia."

My bodyguard got out, said, "I can answer you.

Pengawal saya keluar dan bilang,

What do you want?"

"Apa yang kalian mau?"

They said, "Nothing." They called my name.

"Tidak ada." Mereka memanggil nama saya.

And by that time, the women are yelling and screaming inside the car.

Waktu itu semua perempuan berteriak di dalam mobil.

I am very shaken up, and I told myself, this is it.

Saya menggigil ketakutan, saya pikir inilah akhir hidup saya.

This time, we all are going to be killed.

Kali ini kami semua akan dibunuh.

There is no doubt in my mind.

Tidak ada keraguan di benak saya.

But still, the moment comes, and you take strength

Momen itu datang dan Anda harus tetap kuat

from whatever you believe and whatever you do.

pada apapun yang Anda percaya dan Anda lakukan.

It's in your heart.

Itu ada di dalam hati Anda.

You believe in your worth, and you can walk on it.

Percaya pada diri Anda dan Anda bisa melaluinya.

So I just hold myself on the side of the car.

Maka saya berusaha tenang di dalam mobil.

My leg was shaking, and I got outside.

Kaki saya bergetar dan saya keluar.

And I asked them, "What can I do for you?"

Saya bilang, "Ada yang bisa saya bantu?"

You know what they said to me?

Anda tahu apa yang mereka bilang?

They said, "We know who you are.

Mereka bilang, "Kami tahu siapa kamu.

We know where you are going.

Kemana kamu pergi.

Every day you go up north here and there.

Setiap hari kamu pergi ke utara sini lalu ke sana.

You train women, you teach them

Kamu mengajar perempuan, mendidik mereka

and also you give them an opportunity to have a job.

dan memberikan mereka kesempatan bekerja.

You build their skills. How about us?"

Kamu bangun keterampilan mereka. Bagaimana dengan kami?"

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

(Applause)

(Tepuk tangan)

"And you know, how about us?

"Lalu bagaimana dengan kami?

What are we going to do?"

Apa yang musti kami lakukan?"

I looked at them, and I said, "I don't know."

Saya tatap mereka dan katakan, "Saya tidak tahu."

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

They said, "It's OK.

Mereka bilang, "Tidak apa.

The only thing we can do, what we know,

Satu-satunya yang kami tahu dan bisa lakukan

from the time we're born, we just hold the gun and kill.

sejak kami lahir, hanya memegang pistol dan membunuh.

That's all we know."

Cuma itu yang kami tahu."

And you know what that means.

Dan Anda tahu apa artinya itu.

It's a trap to me, of course.

Itu jebakan untuk saya tentunya.

So I walk out of there. They said, "We'll let you go, go."

Maka saya meninggalkan mereka. Mereka bilang, "Kamu boleh pergi."

And so I walked into the car, I sit in the car,

Lalu saya masuk ke mobil, duduk di sana,

and I told the driver, "Turn around and go back to the office."

dan saya bilang ke pengemudinya, "Putar balik dan kembali ke kantor."

At that time, we only were supporting girls.

Waktu itu kami hanya mengajar perempuan.

We only had money for women to train them,

Kami hanya punya cukup dana untuk melatih perempuan,

to send them to school, and nothing else.

menyekolahkan mereka, itu saja.

By the time I came to the office,

Ketika saya sampai di kantor,

of course my trainers were gone.

semua pengajar saya pulang.

They ran away home. Nobody stayed there.

Mereka melarikan diri ke rumah. Tidak ada yang tinggal.

My bodyguard was the only one there,

Hanya pengawal saya yang masih di sana

and my voice was completely gone.

dan suara saya hilang.

I was shaken up, and I sat on my table,

Saya gemetar dan duduk di meja,

and I said, "What am I going to do?"

saya bilang, "Apa yang akan aku lakukan?"

How am I going to solve this problem?

Bagaimana menyelesaikan masalah ini?

Because we had training going on up north already.

Pelatihan kami sudah menyebar ke utara.

Hundreds of women were there coming to get training.

Ratusan perempuan pergi ke sana untuk mendapat pelatihan.

So I was sitting there, all of a sudden, at this moment,

Lalu tiba-tiba, pada saat itu,

talking about momentum, we are,

berbicara tentang momentum,

at that moment,

saat itu,

one of my wonderful donors called me about a report.

salah satu donor saya menelepon menanyakan tentang sebuah laporan.

And she asked me, "Sakena?" And I answered her.

Dan dia bertanya, "Sakena?"

She said, "It's not you. What's wrong with you?"

Dia bilang, "Kamu terdengar aneh. Ada apa?"

I said, "Nothing." I tried to cover.

Saya bilang, "Tidak apa-apa." Saya coba menutupi.

No matter what I tried to do, she didn't believe me,

Namun apapun yang saya lakukan, dia tidak percaya,

and she asked me again.

dan dia bertanya lagi.

"OK, tell me what's going on?"

"Oke. Katakan apa yang terjadi?"

I told her the whole story.

Saya ceritakan semuanya.

At that time, she said, "OK, you go next time, and you will help them.

Dia bilang, "Lain kali, kamu akan bantu mereka.

You will help them."

Bantu mereka."

And when, two days later, I went the same route,

Ketika saya melewati rute yang sama dua hari kemudian,

and do you know, they were not in here,

mereka tidak di tempat yang sama,

they were a little back further,

tapi agak jauh ke belakang sedikit,

the same young men, standing up there and holding the rifle

para pemuda yang sama, berdiri dan memegang senapan

and pointing to us to stop the car.

dan mengarahkannya pada kami agar kami berhenti.

So we stopped the car.

Kami hentikan mobil.

I got out. I said, "OK, let's go with me."

Saya keluar dan bilang, "Oke. Ayo ikut sama saya."

And they said, "Yes."

Mereka bilang, "Ya."

I said, "On one condition, that whatever I say, you accept it."

Saya bilang, "Tapi satu syarat. Kamu ikuti apapun yang saya bilang."

And they said, yes, they do.

Dan mereka setuju.

So I took them to the mosque,

Lalu saya bawa mereka ke masjid,

and to make a long story short,

singkatnya,

I told them I'd give them teachers.

saya janji akan memberikan mereka guru.

Today, they are the best trainers.

Sekarang, mereka sudah jadi pengajar handal.

They learn English,

Mereka belajar bahasa Inggris,

they learn how to be teachers,

bagaimana menjadi guru yang baik,

they learn computers,

belajar komputer,

and they are my guides.

dan mereka jadi pemandu saya.

Every area that is unknown to us in the mountain areas,

Mereka memandu kami di tempat-tempat asing di pegunungan.

they go with me. They are ahead, and we go.

Mereka memimpin jalan kami.

And they protect us.

Dan mereka melindungi kami.

And --

Dan --

(Applause)

(Tepuk tangan)

Thank you.

Terima kasih.

(Applause)

(Tepuk tangan)

That tells you that education transforms people.

Itu bukti pendidikan mengubah seseorang.

When you educate people,

Jika Anda didik seseorang,

they are going to be different,

ia akan berubah,

and today all over,

dan kini,

we need to work for gender equality.

kita perlu memperjuangkan kesetaraan gender.

We cannot only train women but forget about the men,

Kita tidak bisa hanya mendidik perempuan tapi lupa dengan para pemuda,

because the men are the real people who are giving women the hardest time.

karena laki-laki lah yang biasanya membuat jalan perempuan sulit.

(Laughter)

(Tertawa)

So we started training men because the men should know

Lalu kami mulai mengajar laki-laki karena mereka harus tahu

the potential of women,

potensi perempuan,

know how much these potential men has,

potensi yang mereka sendiri punya,

and how much these women can do the same job they are doing.

dan betapa perempuan pun bisa melakukan apa yang mereka lakukan.

So we are continuously giving training to men,

Kami terus memberi pendidikan bagi para laki-laki

and I really believe strongly.

dan saya sangat yakin tentang hal ini.

I live in a country that was a beautiful country.

Saya hidup di negara yang dulunya sungguh indah.

I just want to share this with you.

Saya hanya ingin berbagi.

It was a beautiful country,

Negara saya sungguh elok,

beautiful, peaceful country.

negara yang elok dan damai.

We were going everywhere.

Kami punya segalanya.

Women were getting education:

Para perempuannya berpendidikan:

lawyer, engineer, teacher,

pengacara, insinyur, guru,

and we were going from house to house.

dan kami pergi dari rumah ke rumah.

We never locked our doors.

Kami tidak pernah mengunci pintu kami.

But you know what happened to my country.

Namun Anda tahu apa yang terjadi dengan negara saya.

Today, people cannot walk out of their door without security issues.

Sekarang orang takut keluar karena masalah keamanan.

But we want the same Afghanistan we had before.

Namun kami ingin Afghanistan kami yang dulu.

And I want to tell you the other side.

Dan saya ingin menceritakan sisi lainnya.

Today, the women of Afghanistan are working very, very hard.

Kini, perempuan di Afghanistan bekerja sangat keras.

They are earning degrees. They are training to be lawyers.

Mereka kuliah. Belajar tentang hukum.

They are training to be doctors, back again.

Mereka belajar jadi dokter.

They are training to be teachers,

Mereka belajar jadi guru

and they are running businesses.

dan mereka memulai bisnis.

So it is so wonderful

Sungguh menakjubkan

to see people like that reach their complete potential,

menyaksikan mereka meraih potensi maksimal mereka,

and all of this is going to happen.

dan semua ini akhirnya terwujud.

I want to share this with you,

Saya ingin berbagi dengan Anda,

because of love,

karena cinta,

because of compassion,

kasih sayang,

and because of trust and honesty.

dan rasa percaya serta kejujuran.

If you have these few things with you,

Jika Anda punya semua hal ini,

you will accomplish.

Anda akan sukses.

We have one poet, Mawlānā Rūmī.

Kami punya seorang penyair, Maulana Rumi.

He said that by having compassion

Menurutnya, dengan kasih sayang

and having love, you can conquer the world.

dan cintalah kita bisa menaklukkan dunia.

And I tell you, we could.

Dan kita bisa.

And if we could do it in Afghanistan,

Bila kita bisa melakukannya di Afghanistan,

I am sure 100 percent that everyone can do it in any part of the world.

saya yakin 100 persen siapapun bisa melakukannya di belahan dunia manapun.

Thank you very, very much.

Terima kasih banyak.

(Applause)

(Tepuk tangan)

Thank you. Thank you.

Terima kasih.

(Applause)

(Tepuk tangan)
