Kućepaziteljkama su povereni nadragoceniji aspekti ljudskih života - one su dadilje, brinu o starim licima, održavaju čistoću kuća i rade posao koji omogućava sve druge poslove. Prečesto su nevidljive, uzimaju ih zdravo za gotovo, otpisane su kao „pomoć“, ali i dalje nastavljaju da daju sve od sebe za porodice i domove za koje su zadužene. U ovom senzacionalnom govoru, aktivistkinja Aj-džen Pu govori o svojim nastojanjima da obezbedi jednaka prava i prikladnu zaradu za kućepaziteljke i objašnjava kako nas one mogu inspirisati. „Razmišljajte kao kućepaziteljka koja se pojavi i brine bez obzira na sve,“ kaže ona.

And the work itself is associated with
work that women have historically done,

Sam posao je povezan sa poslom
koji su žene obavljale kroz istoriju,
koji su žene obavljale kroz istoriju,
00:55
work that's been made incredibly invisible
12
43400
3202
poslom koji je postao nevidljiv
00:58
and taken for granted in our culture.
13
46626
2594
i koji se u našoj kulturi
uzima zdravo za gotovo.

01:02
But it's so fundamental
to everything else in our world.

14
50228
4624
Ali predstavlja temelj
za sve ostalo u našem svetu.

01:06
It makes it possible for all of us
to go out and do what we do in the world

znajući da su najdragoceniji aspekti

01:19
But we don't think about it that way.
18
67239
2079
Ali mi ne razmišljamo tako o tome.
01:22
It's almost defined by its invisibility.
19
70026
3521
Gotovo da taj posao definišemo
njegovom nevidljivošću.

01:26
You could go into any neighborhood

and not know which homes
are also workplaces.

Nema spiska ili registra.
01:35
It's just invisible.
24
83926

Prosto je nevidljivo.
01:39
And it's this work that is not even
referred to as real work.

25
87791
5983
Taj posao ni ne nazivaju pravim poslom.
01:45
It's referred to as "help."
26
93798
2272
Nazivaju ga „pomoć“.
01:48
It's often seen as unskilled,
27
96681
3204
Često ga smatraju nekvalifikovanim
01:51
not seen as professional.
28
99909

And race has played a profound role
in how we value this work in our culture.

work incredibly hard
41
150098
1683
rade neverovatno naporno,
02:43
and still can't make ends meet.
42
151805

a ipak ne mogu da spoje kraj s krajem.
02:46
They earn poverty wages

Most recently, we've been really excited

64

pristup povlasticama po prvi put.
04:15
So really important progress
is being made.
is being made.
65
243554
3518
Tako da se ostvaruje značajan napredak.
04:19
But I would argue tonight
66
247794
2439
Ali, večeras se zalažem
04:22
that one of the most important things
that domestic workers can provide
that domestic workers can provide
67
250257
5227
da je jedna od najvažnijih stvari
koju kućepaziteljke mogu da nam obezbede
koju kućepaziteljke mogu da nam obezbede
04:27
is actually what they can teach us
68
255508
2525
ono čemu nas mogu naučiti
04:30
about humanity itself
69
258057
2122
o samoj ljudskosti
04:32
and about what it will take to create
a more humane world for our children.
a more humane world for our children.
70
260830
5430
i o onome što je neophodno da stvorimo
humaniji svet za našu decu.
humaniji svet za našu decu.
04:39
In the face of extreme immorality,
71
267774
2759
Kada smo suočeni sa ekstremnim nemoralom,
04:42
domestic workers can be our moral compass.
72
270557
3959
kućepaziteljke mogu biti
naš moralni kompas.
naš moralni kompas.
04:47
And it makes sense,
73
275309
1918
I to ima smisla,
04:49
because what they do is so fundamental
74
277251
2906
jer ono što rade je tako fundamentalno
04:52
to the very basics
of human need and humanity.

They are there when we
are born into this world;
are born into this world;
76
285184
3803
Tu su kada dolazimo na ovaj svet,
05:01
they shape who we become in this world;
77
289011
3846
oblikuju nas na ovom svetu
05:05
and they are with us
as we prepare to leave this world.
as we prepare to leave this world.
78
293611
4414
i sa nama su kada treba da ga napustimo.
05:11
And their experiences
with families are so varied.

79
299215
3505
Njihova iskustva sa porodicama
su jako raznovrsna.
su jako raznovrsna.
05:14
They have some relationships
with the families that they work for
with the families that they work for
80
302744
3074
Neke od njih imaju odnose
sa porodicama za koje rade
sa porodicama za koje rade
05:17
that are incredibly positive
and mutually supportive
and mutually supportive
81
305842
3108
koji su jako pozitivni i puni podrške
05:20
and last for years and years.
82
308974
1958
i traju godinama.
05:22
And then the opposite also happens.
83
310956
2675
Dešava se i suprotno.
05:26
And we've seen cases
of sexual violence and assault,
of sexual violence and assault,
84
314209

Videli smo slučajeve
seksualnog nasilja i napada,

We've seen cases of human trafficking.
86
323753

Imali smo slučajeve trgovine ljudima.
05:39
Domestic workers live
in poor neighborhoods,

87
327696
3238
Kućepaziteljke žive
u siromašnim naseljima,
u siromašnim naseljima,
05:42
and then they go to work
in very wealthy ones.
in very wealthy ones.
88
330958
4035
a idu na posao u bogata naselja.
05:48
They cross cultures and generations
and borders and boundaries,
and borders and boundaries,
89
336112
5990
One prevazilaze kulture,
generacije i mnogo granica,
generacije i mnogo granica,
05:54
and their job, no matter what,
90
342126
3125
a njihov posao, bez obzira na sve,
05:57
is to show up and care --
91
345275
2875
je da se pojave i da brinu -
06:01
to nurture, to feed, to clothe, to bathe,
92
349872
5361
da neguju, hrane, oblače, kupaju,
06:08
to listen, to encourage,
93
356406
3501
da slušaju, ohrabruju,
06:12
to ensure safety,
94
360908
1882
da obezbede sigurnost,
06:15
to support dignity ...
95
363415
1797
da podrže dostojanstvo...
06:18
to care no matter what.
96
366070
2706
da brinu bez obzira na sve.
06:22
I want to tell you a story of a woman

and help them care for their children.
103
387848
1884
i koja bi im pomogla oko njihove dece.
06:42
They offered Lily's family that
if she came to work as their nanny,

104
390295
5127
Ponudili su Lilinoj porodici,
ako ona dođe da radi kao njihova dadilja,

06:47
she would be able to have access
to a US education,

105

06:57
They decided it was a good idea
107
405819
1937
Odlučili su da je to dobra ideja
06:59
and decided to take the opportunity.
108
407780
2894
i da će iskoristiti tu šansu.
07:04
Lily held up her end of the bargain
109
412184
2656
Lili je održala svoj deo pogodbe
07:08
and helped to raise three children.
110
416125
2261
i pomogla je u odgajanju troje dece.
07:11
But all communication
with her family was severed:

07:15
no letters, no phone calls.
112
423604

ni pisama, ni poziva.
07:18
She was never allowed to go to school,
113
426665
2523
Nije joj bilo dozvoljeno da ide u školu,
07:22
and she was never paid --
114
430160
2045
i nije bila plaćena-
07:24
for 15 years.
115

07:27
One day, she saw an article in a newspaper

439512
2449
sa pričom jako sličnom njenoj,
07:33
another case that I was
working on at the time,
working on at the time,
118
441985
2746
još jedan slučaj na kome sam tada radila,
07:36
and she found a way to reach me.
119
444755
1997
i pronašla je način da dođe do mene.
07:39
She also found a way to reach her brother,
120
447777
2622
Takođe je pronašla način da dođe do brata,
07:42
who was living in the United States
at the time as well.
at the time as well.
121
450423
2751
koji je isto živeo u SAD-u tada.
07:45
Between the two of us,
we were able to help her escape.
we were able to help her escape.
122
453198
3290
U tajnom dogovoru,
pomogli smo joj da pobegne.
pomogli smo joj da pobegne.
07:49
And she had the help
of one of the children.
of one of the children.
123
457525
2951
A imala je i pomoć jednog deteta.
07:53
One of the children
was old enough to realize
was old enough to realize
124
461071
3824
Jedno od dece je bilo
dovoljno odraslo da shvati
dovoljno odraslo da shvati
07:56
that the way his nanny
was being treated was wrong,
was being treated was wrong,
125
464919
4155
da je način na koji tretiraju
njegovu dadilju pogrešan,
njegovu dadilju pogrešan,
08:01
and he gave her the money that he
had been saving through his childhood
had been saving through his childhood
126
469098
3378
i dao joj je novac
koji je štedeo celo detinjstvo
koji je štedeo celo detinjstvo
da joj pomogne.
08:04
to help her escape.
127
472500
1233
08:07
But here's the thing about this story.
128
475304
2176
Ali evo u čemu je stvar u ovoj priči.
08:12
She was essentially enslaved for 15 years.
129
480210
4596
U suštini, ona je bila rob 15 godina.
08:18
Human trafficking and slavery
is a criminal offense.
is a criminal offense.
130
486248
3300
Trgovina ljudima i ropstvo
su krivična dela.
su krivična dela.
08:22
And so her lawyers and I asked Lily,
131
490230
2950
Njeni advokati i ja smo pitali Lili
08:25
did she want to press criminal charges
for what had happened to her.
for what had happened to her.
132
493204
3781
da li želi da podnese prijavu
za ono što joj se desilo.
za ono što joj se desilo.
08:29
And after thinking about
what it would mean,
what it would mean,
133
497731
2965
Nakon što je razmislila šta bi to značilo,
08:32
she said no,
134
500720
1589
rekla je ne,
08:35
because she didn't want the children
to be separated from their parents.
to be separated from their parents.
135
503222
4235
jer ne želi da deca
budu odvojena od svojih roditelja.
budu odvojena od svojih roditelja.
08:42
Instead, we filed a civil lawsuit,
and we eventually won the case,
and we eventually won the case,
136
510113
4449
Umesto toga, podneli smo građansku tužbu,
i na kraju smo dobili slučaj,
i na kraju smo dobili slučaj,
08:46
and her case became a rallying cry
for domestic workers everywhere.
for domestic workers everywhere.
137
514586
3701
i njen slučaj je postao ratni poklič
za kućepaziteljke svuda.
za kućepaziteljke svuda.
08:50
She was reunited with her family
and went on to have a family of her own.
and went on to have a family of her own.
138
518311
4566
Ponovo je bila na okupu sa porodicom,
a kasnije je zasnovala i svoju.
a kasnije je zasnovala i svoju.
08:55
But the thing that's so profound
to me about this story
to me about this story
139
523909
3346
Ono što je za mene jako duboko
u ovoj priči je što,
u ovoj priči je što,
08:59
is, despite having 15 years
stolen from her life,
stolen from her life,
140
527279
4911
iako su joj ukrali 15 godina života,
09:04
it did not affect the care and compassion
that she felt for the children.
that she felt for the children.
141
532214
5784
to nije uticalo na brigu i saosećanje
koje je gajila prema toj deci.
koje je gajila prema toj deci.
09:11
And I see this from domestic
workers all the time.
workers all the time.
142
539030
3229
I to stalno uočavam kod kućepaziteljki.
09:14
In the face of indignities
143
542283
1887
Uprkos poniženjima
09:16
and our failure to respect and value
this work in our culture,
this work in our culture,
144
544194
3791
i tome što ne poštujemo i ne vrednujemo
ovaj posao u našoj kulturi,
ovaj posao u našoj kulturi,
09:20
they still show up,
145
548009
2290
oni se ipak pojave
09:22
and they care.
146
550323
1453
i brinu.
09:24
They're simply too proximate
to our shared humanity.
to our shared humanity.
147
552780
3589
One su prosto previše bliske
našoj zajedničkoj ljudskosti.
našoj zajedničkoj ljudskosti.
09:28
They know how your toddler
likes to be held
likes to be held
148
556393
3159
Oni znaju kako vaše dete voli da ga drže
09:31
as they take their bottle before a nap.
149
559576
2404
dok uzima flašicu pre dremke.
09:35
They know how your mother likes her tea,
150
563011
2770
Znaju kakav čaj vaša majka voli,
09:37
how to make her smile and tell stories
despite her dementia.
despite her dementia.
151
565805
4071
kako da je nasmejete i pričate joj priče,
uprkos njenoj demenciji.
uprkos njenoj demenciji.
09:42
They are so proximate to our humanity.
152
570924
3716
Toliko su bliske našoj ljudskosti.
09:47
They know that at the end of the day,
153
575688
2151
Znaju da su, na kraju krajeva,
09:49
these are people
who are part of families --
who are part of families --
154
577863
3104
ovi ljudi deo porodica -
09:52
someone's mother,
155
580991
1861
nečija majka,
09:54
someone's grandmother,
156
582876
2251
nečija baka,
09:57
someone's best friend
157
585151
2450
nečiji najbolji prijatelj
09:59
and someone's baby;
158
587625
2140
i nečije dete;
10:03
undeniably human,
159
591773
2105
da su nesumnjivo ljudi,
10:06
and therefore, not disposable.
160
594656
3091
i da, stoga, nisu za jednokratnu upotrebu.
10:11
Domestic workers know that any time
a single person becomes disposable,
a single person becomes disposable,
161
599715
6521
Svaki put kada jedna osoba
postane potrošna, kućepaziteljke znaju
postane potrošna, kućepaziteljke znaju
10:18
it's a slippery slope.
162
606260
1742
da je to tanak led.
10:21
You see, the cultural devaluing
of domestic work
of domestic work
163
609284
3954
Vidite, kulturno
obezvređivanje kućepaziteljki
obezvređivanje kućepaziteljki
10:25
is a reflection
of a hierarchy of human value
of a hierarchy of human value
164
613262
3976
je odraz hijerarhije ljudske vrednosti
10:29
that defines everything in our world,
165
617262
2412
koja definiše sve u našem svetu,
10:32
a hierarchy that values
the lives and contributions
the lives and contributions
166
620549
3916
hijerarhije koja ceni živote i doprinose
10:36
of some groups of people over others,
167
624489
3194
nekih grupa ljudi više od drugih,
10:40
based on race, gender,
168
628714
3578
na osnovu rase, pola,
10:44
class, immigration status --
169
632316
3633
klase, imigracionog statusa
10:47
any number of categories.
170
635973
2239
i mnogo drugih kategorija.
10:51
And that hierarchy of human value requires
stories about those groups of people
stories about those groups of people
171
639514
6684
Ta hijerarhija ljudskih vrednosti
zahteva priče o tim grupama ljudi
zahteva priče o tim grupama ljudi
10:58
in order to sustain itself.
172
646222
2693
kako bi se održala.
11:00
So these stories have seeped
deep into our culture
deep into our culture
173
648939
3111
Ove priče su se infiltrirale
duboko u našu kulturu,
duboko u našu kulturu,
11:04
about how some people
are less intelligent,
are less intelligent,
174
652074
4381
o tome kako su neki ljudi
manje inteligentni,
manje inteligentni,
11:08
some people are less intuitive,
175
656479
3237
neki manje intuitivni,
11:13
weaker,
176
661081
1820
slabiji,
11:14
by extension, less trustworthy,
177
662925
3812
nadalje, nepouzdaniji,
11:19
less valuable
178
667371
1368
manje vredni
11:21
and ultimately,
179
669652
1789
i na kraju,
11:23
less human.
180
671465
1545
manje ljudi.
11:26
And domestic workers know
it's a slippery slope
it's a slippery slope
181
674448
4217
A kućepaziteljke znaju da je tanak led
11:30
when we start to see a worker
as less than a real worker,
as less than a real worker,
182
678689
6650
kada radnika posmatramo manje kao radnika,
11:38
to a woman as less than a woman,
183
686318
3326
ženu manje kao ženu,
11:42
to a mother as less than a mother,
184
690367
3911
majku manje kao majku,
11:47
to a child as less than a child.
185
695365
3385
a dete manje kao dete.
11:52
In the spring of 2018,
186
700519
1600
U proleće 2018. godine,
11:54
the Trump administration announced
a new policy at the US-Mexico border,
a new policy at the US-Mexico border,
187
702143
4694
Trampova uprava je najavila novu politiku
na meksičko-američkoj granici,
na meksičko-američkoj granici,
11:58
a zero-tolerance policy,
188
706861
2436
politiku nulte tolerancije,
12:01
to forcibly separate all children
from their parents,
from their parents,
189
709321
4841
kako bi na silu odvojila
svu decu od roditelja
svu decu od roditelja
12:06
who were arriving at the border
seeking asylum;
seeking asylum;
190
714186
3253
koji su dolazili na granicu tražeći azil;
12:09
children as young as 18 months,
separated from their parents
separated from their parents
191
717463
4033
decu staru samo 18 meseci
bi odvojili od roditelja,
bi odvojili od roditelja,
12:13
after a long and arduous journey
to reach the US-Mexico border
to reach the US-Mexico border
192
721520
5088
nakon dugog i napornog puta
kako bi stigli na granicu
kako bi stigli na granicu
12:18
in search of safety and a new beginning.
193
726632
2905
u potrazi za sigurnošću i novim početkom.
12:22
Thousands of children separated.
194
730542
2475
Hiljade dece je odvojeno.
12:26
And because they were migrants,
195
734765
2780
I zato što su bili migranti,
12:29
they were treated as less than children.
196
737569
3472
tretirani su manje kao deca.
12:35
In response, I helped to organize
the Families Belong Together Vigil
the Families Belong Together Vigil
197
743446
4497
Zato sam pomogla u organizaciji
bdenja „Porodice pripadaju zajedno“
bdenja „Porodice pripadaju zajedno“
12:39
at the Ursula Border Patrol
Processing Center in McAllen, Texas,

12:46
Inside that processing center,
there were hundreds of children

200
754065
3294
U tom obradnom centru bilo je stotine dece
12:49
who were being held, processed

757383
2728
koja su zadržana, ispitana
12:52
and then prepared to be

kako bi bila zatvorena u ustanove

stotinama milja daleko od roditelja.
13:01
I saw with my own eyes
204
769522
2161
Svojim očima sam videla
13:03
children not [old] enough for kindergarten
205
771707
2868
decu nedovoljno staru za vrtić
13:06
in unmarked buses,

207
776108
4265
transportovanu u zatvore

stotinama milja daleko.
13:13
And as they passed us by,
208
781904
2683
A dok su prolazili pored nas,
13:16
they reached for us through the windows,
209
784611
2478
posezali su za nama kroz prozore,
13:21
as we stood vigil to let them know
that they are not alone,
that they are not alone,
210
789485
3848
dok smo stajali bdijući nad njima
kako bi znali da nisu sami,
kako bi znali da nisu sami,
13:25
and we are fighting for them.
211
793357
1644
i da se borimo za njih.
13:27
Domestic workers came from all over Texas
to be a part of the vigil.
to be a part of the vigil.
212
795906
4331
Kućepazitelji su stigli
iz celog Teksasa da budu deo bdenja.
iz celog Teksasa da budu deo bdenja.
13:32
They saw in those families
their own family stories.
their own family stories.
213
800261
4566
U tim porodicama su videli
sopstvene porodične priče.
sopstvene porodične priče.
13:36
They had also come here
in search of safety and a new beginning,
in search of safety and a new beginning,
214
804851
5795
I oni su stigli ovde u potrazi
za sigurnošću i novim početkom,
za sigurnošću i novim početkom,
13:42
a better life for their families,
215
810670
1576
boljim životom za svoje porodice,
13:44
and they saw in the eyes of those children
216
812270
3669
i u očima te dece su videli
13:47
their own children.
217
815963
1551
sopstvenu decu.
13:51
And through our tears,
218
819052
1820
Kroz suze
13:53
we looked at each other
and we asked each other,
and we asked each other,
219
821650
2877
smo gledali jedni druge i pitali se:
13:56
"How did we get here,
220
824551
2070
„Kako smo stigli do ovoga,
13:59
to putting children in cages
221
827732
2794
da stavljamo decu u kaveze
14:02
and separating them from the people
who love them the most in the world?"
who love them the most in the world?"
222
830550
3926
i odvajamo ih od osoba
koje ih vole najviše na svetu?“
koje ih vole najviše na svetu?“
14:07
How?
223
835159
1411
Kako?
14:10
And what I thought to myself was:
if domestic workers were in charge,
if domestic workers were in charge,
224
838171
5933
Pomislila sam u sebi:
da su kućepaziteljke nadležne,
da su kućepaziteljke nadležne,
14:16
this never would have happened.
225
844128
1804
ovo se nikada ne bi desilo.
14:18
Our humanity would never
have been so disposable
have been so disposable
226
846916
4930
Naša ljudskost nikada
ne bi bila tako potrošna
ne bi bila tako potrošna
14:23
that we would be treating
children in this way.
children in this way.
227
851870
2673
da bismo tretirali decu na ovaj način.
14:29
The Dalai Lama once said
that love and compassion are necessities,
that love and compassion are necessities,
228
857304
5780
Dalaj Lama je jednom rekao
da su ljubav i saosećanje potreba,
da su ljubav i saosećanje potreba,
14:35
not luxuries.
229
863877
1648
ne luksuz.
14:38
Without them, humanity cannot survive.
230
866597
3640
Bez njih, čovečanstvo ne može da preživi.
14:44
In other words, they are fundamental
to human existence.
to human existence.
231
872341
3763
Drugim rečima, oni su neophodni
za ljudsko postojanje.
za ljudsko postojanje.
14:49
Domestic workers are in charge
of the fundamentals.
of the fundamentals.
232
877644
4995
Kućepaziteljke su nadležne za osnove.
14:55
They love and they care,
233
883980
2012
One vole i brinu,
14:58
and they show compassion no matter what.
234
886016
2977
i pokazuju saosećanje bez obzira na sve.
15:04
We live in a time of moral choices
235
892016
4425
Živimo u vreme moralnih odluka
15:09
everywhere we turn:
236
897417
1660
gde god se nalazimo:
15:11
at the border,
237
899101
1654
na granici,
15:12
at the ballot box,
238
900779
2220
pored glasačke kutije,
15:15
in our workplaces,
239
903023
1875
na našim radnim mestima,
15:17
right in our homes, full of moral choices.
240
905930
3543
u našim domovima, puno je moralnih odluka.
15:23
As you go about your day
and you encounter these moral choices,
and you encounter these moral choices,
241
911267
6006
Dok idete za svojim obavezama
i srećete se sa ovim moralnim izborima,
i srećete se sa ovim moralnim izborima,
15:29
think of Lily.
242
917297
1502
setite se Lili.
15:32
Think like Lily.
243
920323

Razmišljajte kao Lili.
15:35
Think like a domestic worker
who shows up and cares no matter what.
who shows up and cares no matter what.
244

Razmišljajte kao kućepaziteljka
koja se pojavi i brine bez obzira na sve.

15:42
Love and compassion, no matter what.
