If you identify as a person with disability,

如果你是身心障碍者，

kindly close your eyes,

请闭上双眼，

and in your head, repeat after me:

在脑海中跟着我说：

I am a person

with disability.

身心障碍者。

Thank you.

I have bipolar disorder, type two.

我患有双相情感障碍，二型。

I am brave to say it now,

现在我能勇敢地说出来，

but it actually took me almost 20 years to be clinically diagnosed.

但其实我过了近二十年 才去进行临床诊断。

I had all the symptoms,

所有的症状我都有，

but I did not seek for medical attention.

但就是没有就医。

Now I'm giving myself a gift.

现在我想给自己一份礼物。

If I can be real honest,

说实话，

I was in denial, and I was ashamed of it.

以前我自我否定倍感羞耻。

And here's another interesting story.

来谈谈另一件“趣事”。

My bipolar diagnosis

我双相障碍的诊断

was actually prompted by having a chronic illness.

其实是一种慢性病引起的。

I know.

是的。

And in the Philippines,

而在菲律宾，

having a chronic disease can be a reason for employment discrimination,

患有慢性病可能会导致被就业歧视，

which I experienced firsthand.

我有亲身经历。

And since nobody decided to employ me,

既然没人愿意聘用我，

I decided to employ myself,

我就自己当老板，

and started my company instead,

成立了一家公司，

to contribute in building the future of work

力图打造不把任何一人落下的

that leaves no one behind.

工作未来。

Little did I know --

当时我还不知道——

(Applause)

（掌声）

that starting this company --

创立这家公司——

thank you --

谢谢——

also triggered my healing journey

促使我踏上疗愈之旅

in embracing my reality as a person living with disability.

开始拥抱我有身心障碍的现实。

Worldwide, one in seven people has a disability.

七分之一的世界人口有身心障碍。

Disability is a reality that affects us all.

身心障碍这一现实影响着所有人。

It's part of the diversity of human experience.

也构成人类经历多样性的一部分。

We may be born with it,

身心障碍可能是先天的，

acquire it through an accident or aging,

也可能由意外、年龄增长，

or as a result of trauma and abuse.

或创伤和虐待造成。

Over one billion people with disability in the world.

全世界有超过十亿的身心障碍者。

Hundreds of them are unemployed,

其中相当多的人没有工作，

especially in developing countries like the Philippines.

在发展中国家更是 如此比如菲律宾。

Their economic inactivity and unemployment

由于经济不活跃就业率低

puts them at a greater risk of insufficient social protection,

身心障碍者更有可能面临 社会保障不足的境况，

making them more vulnerable to extreme poverty.

更有可能陷入极端贫困。

And the impact on our global economy?

这对全球经济的影响呢？

Trillions of US dollars lost in GDP.

GDP（国内生产总值） 损失数万亿美元。

That's before the pandemic.

疫情前的状况便如此。

Trillions lost because our society excludes people like me

因为社会限制和 我一样的人找到工作

[from] simply getting a job.

而损失数万亿。

And it's not just me.

不仅是我。

Almost everyone in my team experienced this systemic problem.

我们团队里几乎所有人 都经历过这种体制问题。

So we built a virtual school

因此我们打造了线上学校

that equips our students with the skills and the mindset

帮助学生具备应有的技能和思维

to work as online service providers.

以提供线上服务。

We have hundreds of graduates in over 60 cities and provinces

我们有数百名毕业生遍布菲律宾，

all over the Philippines,

超过60个省市。

earning an average income that is 60 percent above the minimum wage.

他们的平均收入比最低薪资高60%

But we realize

但我们意识到

that for vocational programs to be truly sustainable and effective,

要想职业培训项目有效地持续，

technical skills and employment support are not enough.

光有专业技术和就业支持还不够。

So we invested in having a resident psychologist

所以我们不惜聘用一名常驻心理学家

to help our students process their past experiences,

来协助学生处理过往的经历，

restore human dignity

重塑为人的尊严

and embrace their realities.

拥抱现实。

After completing our program,

从项目毕业后

92.6 percent

92.6%的学生

claim that they have embraced and they have understood their disability.

表示自己已经拥抱并理解了 身心障碍的现实。

So my advice to organizations

所以我想建议

that are investing in talents with disability

各个培养身心障碍人才的组织

is to look internally

思考内部问题

and identify unconscious bias of our people around those disabilities.

认识对身心障碍者无意识的偏见。

From there, validate and address their fears,

认出之后承认并处理他们的恐惧，

and work with your people to cocreate a solution --

彼此合作打造解决方案

an inclusive solution --

不把一个人落下

together.

一起努力。

This is how we can build and sustain

这样我们就能创造并维护

a safe space that nurtures healing

一个安全地带 供人们疗愈

and disclosure.

袒露心声。

Disclosure is the key to this systemic and intergenerational problem.

对于这世代以来的 体制问题袒露是关键。

Speaking from my personal experience,

根据我的个人经历，

the journey to embracing a disability

拥抱身心障碍的旅途

is painful.

很痛苦。

It's like coming out of the closet

就好比出柜

or sharing a story of sexual assault.

或说出被性侵的过往。

It forces us to revisit the hidden past

这迫使我们重新回顾藏在角落的往事

or confront an uncertain future.

正视未来的不确定性。

It is extremely difficult,

这万分艰难，

and it requires a strong support system,

需要有力的系统来予以支持，

something that you and I can build together.

我们可以携手打造这种系统。

So that ...

这样一来

hopefully, less and less people will ... suffer in silence.

希望默默受苦的人越来越少。

We need to effectively heal

我们需要有效的疗愈

to fight inequality.

以抗争不公平。

The only way for us to build,

我们若想建立，

to truly build a world where people can truly find belonging,

真正建立一个所有人都能 切实找到归属感的世界，

is to start with healing.

就必须从疗愈开始。

Thank you.

谢谢。

(Cheers and applause)
