Noy Thrupkaew: Human trafficking is all around you. This is how it works

譯者: Adrienne Lin 審譯者: Regina Chu

About 10 years ago, I went through a little bit of a hard time.

大約十年前， 我經歷了一段艱難的時期。

So I decided to go see a therapist.

所以我決定去看心理醫生。

I had been seeing her for a few months, when she looked at me one day and said,

我持續去看了幾個月， 有一天她看著我說：

"Who actually raised you until you were three?"

「到底是誰把你扶養到三歲的？」

Seemed like a weird question. I said, "My parents."

這問題好怪。我說：「我的父母。」

And she said, "I don't think that's actually the case;

她說：「我不認為那是真的；

because if it were,

因為如果是真的，

we'd be dealing with things that are far more complicated than just this."

那我們面對的問題將會更複雜。」

It sounded like the setup to a joke, but I knew she was serious.

這聽起來像是設計好的笑話， 但我知道她是認真的。

Because when I first started seeing her,

因為從我一開始看這位心理醫生，

I was trying to be the funniest person in the room.

我就試著要成為 房間裡最幽默的人。

And I would try and crack these jokes, but she caught on to me really quickly,

我會試著說些笑話， 但她馬上知道我要說什麼，

and whenever I tried to make a joke, she would look at me and say,

每當我試著要開玩笑， 她就會看著我然後說：

"That is actually really sad."

「真的很可悲。」

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

It's terrible.

真的很慘。

So I knew I had to be serious, and I asked my parents

我知道我要嚴肅起來， 於是我問了我的父母

who had actually raised me until I was three?

到底是誰把我扶養到三歲？

And to my surprise, they said

出乎我的意料之外，他們說

my primary caregiver had been a distant relative of the family.

主要照顧我的人， 是我家族裡的一個遠親。

I had called her my auntie.

我叫她阿姨。

I remember my auntie so clearly,

我記得非常清楚，

it felt like she had been part of my life when I was much older.

當我年紀大一些， 感覺她是我生命的一部份。

I remember the thick, straight hair,

我記得她那濃密的直髮，

當她彎腰抱我時

and how it would come around me like a curtain

那頭髮就像窗簾布一樣包圍我；

when she bent to pick me up;

her soft, southern Thai accent;

記著她那柔軟的南方泰國口音；

the way I would cling to her,

我喜歡黏著她，

even if she just wanted to go to the bathroom

甚至她只是要去廁所，

or get something to eat.

或是拿點東西吃。

I loved her, but [with] the ferocity that a child has sometimes

我愛她，但殘忍的是 有時一個小孩

before she understands that love also requires letting go.

不了解愛也是需要放手。

But my clearest and sharpest memory of my auntie,

她在我腦海中留下最清晰的回憶，

is also one of my first memories of life at all.

也同時是我人生中最初的回憶之一。

I remember her being beaten and slapped by another member of my family.

我記得她 被我家族裡的另一個成員打，

I remember screaming hysterically and wanting it to stop,

我歇斯底里地尖叫， 想要讓暴力停止，

as I did every single time it happened,

當她被打，我都這樣做，

for things as minor as wanting to go out with her friends,

被打的原因是 她想和朋友出去玩，

or being a little late.

或是稍微遲到之類的小事。

I became so hysterical over her treatment,

看到她被虐待 我會表現得很激動，

that eventually, she was just beaten behind closed doors.

後來，她在我看不到的地方被打。

Things got so bad for her that eventually she ran away.

情況越來越糟， 最後她逃離這個家。

As an adult, I learned later

成年後我才知道

that she had been just 19 when she was brought over from Thailand

她十九歲時， 被人從泰國帶到美國

to the States to care for me, on a tourist visa.

來當我的保母， 以旅遊簽證居住在美國。

She wound up working in Illinois for a time,

她在伊利諾州工作一段時間後，

before eventually returning to Thailand,

又回到泰國，

which is where I ran into her again, at a political rally in Bangkok.

在曼谷的一個政治性的遊行中， 我再次遇見她。

I clung to her again, as I had when I was a child,

就像小時候那樣， 我緊緊地抱住她，

and I let go, and then I promised that I would call.

放手後，承諾我會與她保持連繫。

I never did, though.

但我沒有如此做。

Because I was afraid if I said everything that she meant to me --

因為我怕如果我說 她對我而言意義重大，

that I owed perhaps the best parts of who I became to her care,

我人生中最美好的部分 是我受到她的照顧，

and that the words "I'm sorry" were like a thimble

我只能以一句「對不起」

to bail out all the guilt and shame and rage I felt

來表達我感受到的 罪惡、羞愧和憤怒，

over everything she had endured to care for me for as long as she had --

她為了照顧我而忍受的一切，

I thought if I said those words to her, I would never stop crying again.

我想如果我對她說出這些話， 我又會哭不停。

Because she had saved me.

因為她救了我。

And I had not saved her.

可是我沒有救她。

I'm a journalist, and I've been writing and researching human trafficking

我是記者， 我撰寫、研究人口販賣

for the past eight years or so,

大約有八年了，

and even so, I never put together this personal story

儘管如此， 我之前從沒把這起個人的故事

with my professional life until pretty recently.

與工作湊在一起。

I think this profound disconnect actually symbolizes

這種全然的分割 實際上是象徵著

most of our understanding about human trafficking.

我們大多數人對人口販賣的理解。

Because human trafficking is far more prevalent, complex and close to home

因為人口販賣 比我們想像的還要普遍、

複雜且近在身邊。

than most of us realize.

I spent time in jails and brothels,

我採訪過監獄和妓院，

interviewed hundreds of survivors and law enforcement, NGO workers.

數百名倖存者、執法人員 和非政府組織人員。

And when I think about what we've done about human trafficking,

當我理解到我們為解決人口販賣 所做的一切時，

I am hugely disappointed.

我感到極度的失望。

Partly because we don't even talk about the problem right at all.

部分是因為我們沒有 正確地討論這個問題。

When I say "human trafficking,"

當我說「人口販賣」，

most of you probably don't think about someone like my auntie.

大部分的人不會 想到我阿姨這樣的人。

You probably think about a young girl or woman,

你或許會想到 年輕女孩或女人，

who's been brutally forced into prostitution by a violent pimp.

被老鴇殘忍地逼迫賣淫。

That is real suffering, and that is a real story.

這的確是個苦難， 也是一個真實的故事。

That story makes me angry

一個讓我憤怒的故事

for far more than just the reality of that situation, though.

不只因為它是真實的情況。

As a journalist, I really care about how we relate to each other through language,

身為記者，我很在意我們之間 是如何使用語言溝通，

and the way we tell that story, with all the gory, violent detail,

我們說的故事充滿 血腥、暴力細節，

the salacious aspects -- I call that "look at her scars" journalism.

與猥褻有關的—— 我稱它為「看她的傷疤」新聞。

We use that story to convince ourselves

我們利用這個故事來說服我們自己

that human trafficking is a bad man doing a bad thing to an innocent girl.

販賣人口是 壞人對無辜的女子做壞事。

That story lets us off the hook.

這個故事讓我們有台階下。

It takes away all the societal context that we might be indicted for,

它抺去所有可能 被控訴的社會背景，

for the structural inequality, or the poverty,

如結構性的不平等、 貧窮、

or the barriers to migration.

或是遷徙的限制。

We let ourselves think

我們自己認為

that human trafficking is only about forced prostitution,

人口販賣只是被迫賣淫，

when in reality,

但事實是，

human trafficking is embedded in our everyday lives.

人口販賣潛藏 在我們的日常生活中。

Let me show you what I mean.

讓我來解釋給你們聽。

Forced prostitution accounts for 22 percent of human trafficking.

被迫賣淫 佔人口販賣的百分之二十二。

Ten percent is in state- imposed forced labor.

百分之十為強制勞動。

but a whopping 68 percent is for the purpose of creating the goods

但高達百分之六十八 是從事生產產品

and delivering the services that most of us rely on every day,

以及從事我們 日常不可或缺的服務業，

in sectors like agricultural work, domestic work and construction.

像是農事， 家事服務以及建造的工作。

That is food and care and shelter.

就是食品、照護和庇護的工作。

And somehow, these most essential workers

但，這些最不可或缺的工作者

are also among the world's most underpaid and exploited today.

是當今世界上 酬勞最低、被剝削的一群。

Human trafficking is the use of force, fraud or coercion

人口販賣是使用暴力、欺騙 和強迫的手段

to compel another person's labor.

來強迫他人勞動。

And it's found in cotton fields, and coltan mines,

可在棉花田或鈳鉭鐵礦場看到，

and even car washes in Norway and England.

甚至出現在挪威和英國的洗車場。

It's found in U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan.

在伊拉克和阿富汗的美國軍營裡。

It's found in Thailand's fishing industry.

在泰國的捕魚業。

That country has become the largest exporter of shrimp in the world.

泰國是世界上蝦子 最大的出口國。

But what are the circumstances

但便宜又大量蝦子的背後

behind all that cheap and plentiful shrimp?

有著什麼情況？

Thai military were caught selling Burmese and Cambodian migrants

泰國軍隊被發現 販賣緬甸和柬埔寨籍的外勞

onto fishing boats.

上漁船捕魚。

Those fishing boats were taken out, the men put to work,

漁船出海捕魚， 他們在船上工作，

and they were thrown overboard if they made the mistake of falling sick,

他們會被丟下船 如果他們犯錯、生病

or trying to resist their treatment.

或反抗。

Those fish were then used to feed shrimp,

捕到的魚用來餵蝦子，

The shrimp were then sold to four major global retailers:

然後把蝦子賣給 四個主要零售商：

Costco, Tesco, Walmart and Carrefour.

好市多、特易購、 沃爾瑪和家樂福。

Human trafficking is found on a smaller scale than just that,

人口販賣也發現在小規模的地方，

and in places you would never even imagine.

你永遠也想不到地方。

Traffickers have forced young people to drive ice cream trucks,

人口販強迫年輕人開冰淇淋車，

or to sing in touring boys' choirs.

或是在男子巡迴演唱團裡唱歌。

Trafficking has even been found in a hair braiding salon in New Jersey.

販賣行為也被發現 在紐澤西的髮廊。

The scheme in that case was incredible.

販賣的詭計 令人不可思議。

The traffickers found young families who were from Ghana and Togo,

人口販子找到迦納和多哥的 年輕家庭，

and they told these families that "your daughters are going to get

告訴他們： 「你們的女兒會在

a fine education in the United States."

美國接受良好的教育。」

They then located winners of the green card lottery,

然後找到那些 中了美國綠卡樂透者，

and they told them, "We'll help you out.

告訴他們： 「我們會幫助你。

We'll get you a plane ticket. We'll pay your fees.

我們會付機票錢。 付所有的費用。

All you have to do is take this young girl with you,

只要你帶著這個年輕女孩，

say that she's your sister or your spouse.

說她是你妹妹或是你老婆。」

Once everyone arrived in New Jersey, the young girls were taken away,

當所有人到達紐澤西， 年輕女孩就會被帶走，

and put to work for 14-hour days,

被逼每天工作 14 個小時，

seven days a week, for five years.

每週七天，連續工作五年。

They made their traffickers nearly four million dollars.

人口販因此獲利近四百萬美金。

This is a huge problem.

這是個大問題。

So what have we done about it?

我們為此做了什麼？

We've mostly turned to the criminal justice system.

我們大都求助刑事司法系統。

But keep in mind, most victims of human trafficking are poor and marginalized.

但請記得，大部分人口販賣的受害者 是貧窮和被邊緣化的人。

They're migrants, people of color.

他們是外籍勞工，有色人種。

Sometimes they're in the sex trade.

有些從事賣淫。

And for populations like these,

面對這些人，

the criminal justice system is too often part of the problem,

刑事司法系統經常是問題的一部分，

rather than the solution.

而不是解決問題的方法。

In study after study, in countries ranging from Bangladesh to the United States,

在一次又一次的研究中， 從孟加拉到美國，

between 20 and 60 percent of the people in the sex trade who were surveyed

經調查有 20-60% 的性交易者

said that they had been raped or assaulted by the police in the past year alone.

說他們在過去的一年 被警察強姦。

People in prostitution, including people who have been trafficked into it,

賣淫的人，包括人口販賣受害者，

regularly receive multiple convictions for prostitution.

時常因賣淫而被多次定罪。

Having that criminal record makes it so much more difficult

有這些犯罪記錄 使得他們

to leave poverty, leave abuse, or leave prostitution,

想要擺脫貧窮、虐待或賣淫，

if that person so desires.

也是非常困難。

Workers outside of the sex sector --

色情以外的工作者，

if they try and resist their treatment, they risk deportation.

如果他們抗拒， 他們有可能會被驅逐出境。

In case after case I've studied, employers have no problem

在我研究的案件中， 僱主會

calling on law enforcement to try and threaten or deport

叫警察以威脅或驅逐出境

their striking trafficked workers.

這些罷工的非法交易工作者。

If those workers run away,

如果這些工作人員逃跑的話，

they risk becoming part of the great mass of undocumented workers

大部分的人冒著危險變成 沒有合法身份的工作者，

who are also subject to the whims of law enforcement if they're caught.

如果他們被抓 他們會被警察凌辱。

Law enforcement is supposed to identify victims and prosecute traffickers.

執法人員應該找出受害者 和起訴人口販子。

But out of an estimated 21 million victims of human trafficking in the world,

但全世界大約有 2100 萬 人口販賣的受害者，

they have helped and identified fewer than 50,000 people.

受過協助和確認的人數 低於 5 萬人。

That's like comparing

這好比

the population of the world to the population of Los Angeles,

全世界的人口之於 洛杉磯的人口，

proportionally speaking.

以上是依比率來作說明。

As for convictions, out of an estimated 5,700 convictions in 2013,

至於定罪，2013 年 約有 5700 人被判有罪，

fewer than 500 were for labor trafficking.

但因販賣勞工而判刑的 不到 500 人。

Keep in mind that labor trafficking

請記得販賣勞工

accounts for 68 percent of all trafficking,

佔人口販賣的 68%，

but fewer than 10 percent of the convictions.

被定罪的卻少於 10% 。

I've heard one expert say that trafficking happens where need meets greed.

我聽一位專家說 人口販賣發生在需求加上貪婪。

I'd like to add one more element to that.

我要再加入一個個人見解，

Trafficking happens in sectors where workers are excluded from protections,

人口販賣發生在 勞工沒有受到保護的地方，

and denied the right to organize.

他們被剝奪組成工會的權利。

Trafficking doesn't happen in a vacuum.

人口販賣並非與世隔絕。

It happens in systematically degraded work environments.

它發生在被系統化剝削的工作環境。

You might be thinking,

你或許在想，

oh, she's talking about failed states, or war-torn states, or --

她說的是失敗國家， 或是受戰爭蹂躪的國家，或——

I'm actually talking about the United States.

其實我說的就是美國。

Let me tell you what that looks like.

讓我來告訴各位真相。

I spent many months researching a trafficking case called Global Horizons,

我花了好幾個月的時間研究 人口販賣「全球地平線」的案子，

involving hundreds of Thai farm workers.

包括數百名泰國農人。

They were sent all over the States, to work in Hawaii pineapple plantations,

他們被分配到全美各地， 在夏威夷鳳梨田裡工作，

and Washington apple orchards, and anywhere the work was needed.

在華盛頓蘋果園， 及其他需要勞工的地方。

They were promised three years of solid agricultural work.

他們被承諾 做三年的農事工作。

So they made a calculated risk.

他們算了一下風險。

They sold their land, they sold their wives' jewelry,

賣掉他們的土地、 老婆的珠寶，

to make thousands in recruitment fees for this company, Global Horizons.

被「全球地平線」這公司 收了數千美元的招聘費。

But once they were brought over,

他們一旦被帶到美國，

their passports were confiscated.

他們的護照被沒收。

Some of the men were beaten and held at gunpoint.

有人被打，受槍口威脅。

They worked so hard they fainted in the fields.

他們過勞而昏倒在田裡。

This case hit me so hard.

這案子令我很心痛。

After I came back home,

回到家後，

I was wandering through the grocery store, and I froze in the produce department.

我在雜貨店裡閒逛， 佇足在農產區。

I was remembering the over-the-top meals the Global Horizons survivors

我記得我每次採訪他們時，

would make for me every time I showed up to interview them.

這些從苦難中逃生的人 都會為我準備美味食物。

They finished one meal with this plate of perfect, long-stemmed strawberries,

飯後提供一盤很棒的長莖草莓，

and as they handed them to me, they said,

在遞給我的同時，他們說：

"Aren't these the kind of strawberries you eat with somebody special

「在美國，這種草莓不就是 你和重要的人

in the States?

一起吃的那種？

And don't they taste so much better

當你認識 親手摘下給你吃的人，

when you know the people whose hands picked them for you?"

它的味道是不是更好？」

As I stood in that grocery store weeks later, I realized I had no idea

幾週後，我站在雜貨店內 我不知道

of who to thank for this plenty,

要感謝誰提供這豐富的食物，

and no idea of how they were being treated.

不知道他們是如何被對待。

So, like the journalist I am, I started digging into the agricultural sector.

我是記者， 我開始深入研究農務工作。

And I found there are too many fields, and too few labor inspectors.

我發現田地很多， 但勞動調查人員卻很少。

I found multiple layers of plausible deniability

我發現各層級互相推委責任，

between grower and distributor and processor, and God knows who else.

從種植、批發到加工程序， 只有上帝知道還有誰參與其中。

The Global Horizons survivors had been brought to the States

逃離「全球地平線」的人 最初被帶到美國，

on a temporary guest worker program.

是以臨時工的身份進入美國。

That guest worker program ties a person's legal status

臨時工的法律身份

to his or her employer,

與他們的僱主綁在一起，

and denies that worker the right to organize.

同時也拒絕 臨時工人組成工會的權利。

Mind you, none of what I am describing about this agricultural sector

請注意，我所說的農務工作

or the guest worker program is actually human trafficking.

或外籍勞工 其實就是人口販賣。

It is merely what we find legally tolerable.

這走在法律邊緣。

And I would argue this is fertile ground for exploitation.

這可說是剝削的溫床。

And all of this had been hidden to me, before I had tried to understand it.

我一直被矇在鼓裡， 直到我試著去了解這件事。

I wasn't the only person grappling with these issues.

我不是唯一想解決這問題的人。

Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay,

eBay 的創辦人 皮耶‧歐米迪亞，

is one of the biggest anti-trafficking philanthropists in the world.

是有名的 反販賣人口的慈善家之一。

And even he wound up accidentally investing nearly 10 million dollars

他也在不知情狀態下， 投資將近一千萬美元

in the pineapple plantation cited as having the worst working conditions

在「全球地平線」中 被舉證為工作環境最差的鳳梨園。

in that Global Horizons case.

When he found out, he and his wife were shocked and horrified,

當他發現後， 他和他的老婆震驚了，

and they wound up writing an op-ed for a newspaper,

他們給報社寫一篇專欄，

saying that it was up to all of us to learn everything we can

說我們應盡所能去了解， 視為自己的責任，

about the labor and supply chains of the products that we support.

了解我們所支持的產品 其生產勞工和供應鏈。

I totally agree.

我非常認同。

What would happen if each one of us decided

情況會是如何， 如果每個人都決定

that we are no longer going to support companies

不再支持那些公司，

if they don't eliminate exploitation from their labor and supply chains?

如果他們不杜絕 勞力和供應鏈剝削？

If we demanded laws calling for the same?

如果我們要求法律也這麼做呢？

If all the CEOs out there decided

如果企業的執行長決定

that they were going to go through their businesses and say, "no more"?

在他們的企業 將不再剝削勞工？

If we ended recruitment fees for migrant workers?

如果不再收取外籍勞工的招聘費？

If we decided that guest workers should have the right to organize

如果我們決定外籍工人 有權組成工會

without fear of retaliation?

無需擔心報復的問題？

These would be decisions heard around the world.

所有人要下決心執行。

This isn't a matter of buying a fair-trade peach

這不是買公平交易的產品就可解決的，

and calling it a day, buying a guilt-free zone with your money.

用錢來免除自己的罪惡感。

That's not how it works.

這不是解決事情的方法。

This is the decision to change a system that is broken,

而是要決定 去改變一個壞掉的系統，

and that we have unwittingly but willingly

我們不知原委，但欣然樂意

allowed ourselves to profit from and benefit from for too long.

接受我們長期從中獲取 及享受的利益。

We often dwell on human trafficking survivors' victimization.

我們時常專注在 逃離人口販賣者的傷痛上。

But that is not my experience of them.

但這不是我所得到的經驗。

Over all the years that I've been talking to them,

在我和他們接觸的那幾年，

they have taught me that we are more than our worst days.

他們讓我瞭解 我們最壞的情況不能代表一切。

Each one of us is more than what we have lived through.

我們每個人的痛苦經歷 也不能代表一切。

Especially trafficking survivors.

特別是逃離人口販賣的人。

These people were the most resourceful and resilient and responsible

他們在社會中 是經驗最豐富、

in their communities.

有活力、負責任的人。

They were the people that you would take a gamble on.

他們是一群值得你去冒險的人。

You'd say, I'm gong to sell my rings, because I have the chance

你會說，我要去賣戒指， 因為我有機會

to send you off to a better future.

去為他們創造更好的未來。

They were the emissaries of hope.

I was so reluctant to share my story of my auntie with you.

我實在不太願意分享 我阿姨的故事。

Before I started this TED process and climbed up on this stage,

在站上 TED 演議台之前，

I had told literally a handful of people about it,

我只告訴少數幾個人，

because, like many a journalist,

因為，如其他眾多記者，

I am far more interested in learning about your stories

我比較喜歡聽別人的故事

than sharing much, if anything, about my own.

甚於分享自己的故事， 如果我的故事有什麼可說的。

I also haven't done my journalistic due diligence on this.

我尚未克盡記者職責。

I haven't issued my mountains of document requests,

我尚未發出堆積如山的申請文件，

and interviewed everyone and their mother,

The story as I've told it to you is messy and unfinished.

我向各位講的這個故事雜亂不全。

But I think it mirrors the messy and unfinished situation we're all in,

但我想這故事反映出 我們都身處在這雜亂不全的狀況中，

when it comes to human trafficking.

談到人口販賣，

We are all implicated in this problem.

我們都和這個問題有關連。

But that means we are all also part of its solution.

也表示我們都可以為這件事 盡一份心力。

Figuring out how to build a more just world is our work to do,

找出如何建立一個更公平的世界 是我們的工作，

and our story to tell.

也是我們的故事。

So let us tell it the way we should have done,
