This is the first campaign of its kind at the UN 这次我们开创了联合国发起的同类活动的先河
We want to try to galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change,and we don’t just want to talk about it,We want to try and make sure that it’s tangible
我们希望能接力号召尽可能多的男人和男孩们,加入到寻求改变的倡导者行列,我们也不想仅仅开出空头支票,我们希望全力以赴,确保达成其实目标
I was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women six months ago,and the more I’ve spoken about feminism,the more I have realized that fighting for women ’s right has too often become synonymous with men-hating
If there is one thing I know for certain it is that this has to stop 我十分确信的是,必须停止这种认识
For the record feminism by definition is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities, 在此声明,从定义上来说女权主义是一种信念,认为男女应该具有同等权利和机遇
It is the theory of the political economic and social equality of the sexes
也是政治经济以及社会的性别平等理论
I started questioning gender-based assumptions a
long time ago
很久之前我就开始质疑种种基于性别的预设
When I was 8,I was confused about being called ”bossy”, because I wanted to direct the plays,that we would put on for our parents,but the boys were not 当我8岁时,因为我想编排给家长们的演出就被斥为“专横”,而男孩不会受到同样的指责
When at 14,I started to be sexualised by certain elements of the media,
当我14岁时,某些媒体开始渲染,我性感化的公众形象
When at 15 my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams,because they didn’t want to appear muscle-y
当我15岁时,我的女朋友们纷纷退出她们心爱的运动队,因为她们不像看起来肌肉发达
When at 18 my male friends were unable to express their feelings
当我18岁时,我的男性朋友们无法自如的表达他们的情感
I decided that I was a feminist,and this seems uncomplicated to me
那时我就决定成为一位女权主义者,对我来说这是件简单明了的事
But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word,women are choosing not to identify as feminists.
但我近期的调查表明,女权主义已经变为不受欢迎的词汇,女人们不愿意被认为是女权主义者
Apparently I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong “too aggressive”,isolating and anti-men,unattractive,even 很显然我被列为那类女性,措辞强硬,过于激进,自我封闭一味反对男性,甚至缺乏魅力
Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one 为何这个词已经让人如此不适
I am form Britain,and I think it is wright that I am paid the same as my male counterparts,I think it is wright that I should be able to make decisions about my own body,I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and the decisions that affect my life,I think it is right that socially,I am afforded the same respect as men
我来自英国,我认为我应该获得与我男性同行同等的资
金待遇,我认为我应该拥有自主支配自己身体的权利,我认为女性应该代表我参与到能影响我生活的政策制定中,我认为在社会上我也能赢得与男性同样的尊重
But sadly I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality,these rights I consider to be human rights 遗憾的是,我可以说世界上任何一个国家的女性体都未能完全拥有这些权利,至今无一国家能断言,他们已经实现了性别平等,这些权利我认为就是人权
But I am one of the lucky ones,my life is a sheer privilege, because my parents didn’t love me less because I was born a daughter,My school did not limit me because I was a girl,my mentor didn’t assume that I would go less far because I might give birth to a child one day
但我无疑是幸运的,我一直享受着特殊待遇,因为我的父母并没有因为我身为女儿就减少对我的关爱,我就读的学校也没有因为我是女孩就加以限制,我的导师也没有因为我日后将为人母而对我不予厚望
These influencers were the gender equality ambassadors that made me who I am today,they may not
