Hannah is excited to be going to college. She couldn't wait to get out of her parents' house, to prove to them that she's an adult, and to prove to her new friends that she belongs.
Hana je uzbuđena što ide na fakultet. Jedva čeka da se izvuče iz kuće roditelja, da im dokaže da je odrasla i da dokaže svojim novim prijateljima da pripada tu.
She heads to a campus party where she sees a guy that she has a crush on. Let's call him Mike. The next day, Hannah wakes up with a pounding headache. She can only remember the night in flashes. But what she does remember is throwing up in the hall outside Mike's room and staring at the wall silently while he was inside her, wanting it to stop, then shakily stumbling home. She doesn't feel good about what happened, but she thinks, "Maybe this is just what sex in college is?"
Kreće na žurku na kampusu gde vidi dečka koji joj se dopada. Zovimo ga Majk. Sledećeg dana, Hana se budi sa užasnom glavoboljom. Protekle noći seća se samo u obrisima. Ali seća se da je povraćala u hodniku ispred Majkove sobe i da je tiho zurila u zid dok je on bio u njoj, želela je da prestane, a onda se vratila kući, tresući se. Ne oseća se dobro zbog toga što se desilo, ali razmišlja: "Možda je ovakav seks na fakultetu?"
One in five women and one in 13 men will be sexually assaulted at some point during their college career in the United States. Less than 10 percent will ever report their assault to their school or to the police. And those who do, on average, wait 11 months to make the report.
Jedna u pet žena i jedan u 13 muškaraca biće seksualno zlostavljani u nekom trenutku tokom studiranja u Sjedinjenim Državama. Manje od 10 procenata njih napad će prijaviti školi ili policiji. A oni koji ga prijave u proseku čekaju 11 meseci da prijave slučaj.
Hannah initially just feels like dealing with what happened on her own. But when she sees Mike taking girls home from parties, she's worried about them.
Hana na početku misli da će sama da se snađe sa onim što se desilo. Ali kada vidi Majka kako kući vodi devojke sa žurki, ona brine za njih.
After graduation, Hannah learns that she was one of five women who Mike did the exact same thing to. And this is not an unlikely scenario because 90 percent of sexual assaults are committed by repeat offenders. But with such low reporting rates, it's fairly unlikely that even repeat perpetrators will be reported, much less anything happen if they are.
Nakon diplomiranja, Hana saznaje da je bila jedna od pet žena kojima je Majk uradio istu stvar. A ovo nije neverovatan scenario jer 90% seksualnih napada počine oni koji ponavljaju zločin. Ali sa tako niskim stopama prijave, malo je verovatno da će biti prijavljeni čak i oni koji ponavljaju zločin, a kamoli da im se nešto desi ako ih neko prijavi.
In fact, only six percent of assaults reported to the police end with the assailant spending a single day in prison. Meaning, there's a 99 percent chance that they'll get away with it. This means there's practically no deterrent to assault in the United States.
Zapravo, samo šest procenata napada prijavljenih policiji završi tako što napadač provede makar jedan dan u zatvoru. To znači da postoji šansa od 99% da će se izvući. To znači da u Sjedinjenim Državama zapravo ne postoji ništa da spreči napad.
Now, I'm an infectious disease epidemiologist by training. I'm interested in systems and networks and where we can concentrate our resources to do the most good. So this, to me, is a tragic but a solvable problem.
Po struci sam epidemiolog za zarazne bolesti. Zanimaju me sistemi i mreže i gde možemo da koncentrišemo resurse da učinimo najviše dobra. Za mene, ovo je tragičan, ali rešiv problem.
So when the issue of campus assault started hitting the news a few years ago, it felt like a unique opportunity to make a change. And so we did. We started by talking to college survivors. And what they wish they'd had in college is pretty simple; they wanted a website, one they could use at the time and place that felt safest to them with clearly written information about their reporting options, with the ability to electronically report their assault, rather than having the first step to go in and talk to someone who may or may not believe them. With the option to create a secure, timestamped document of what happened to them, preserving evidence even if they don't want to report yet. And lastly, and perhaps most critically, with the ability to report their assault only if someone else reported the same assailant. You see, knowing that you weren't the only one changes everything. It changes the way you frame your own experience, it changes the way you think about your perpetrator, it means that if you do come forward, you'll have someone else's back and they'll have yours.
Kada su vesti o napadima na kampusima došle na vesti pre nekoliko godina, to je bila jedinstvena prilika da se napravi promena. To smo i uradili. Počeli smo tako što smo pričali sa žrtvama s fakulteta. Ono što su želeli da imaju na fakultetima prilično je jednostavno: želeli su vebsajt koji bi koristili u vremenu i na mestu koje je za njih najbezbednije sa jasno ispisanim informacijama o mogućnostima prijavljivanja, s mogućnošću elektronske prijave svog napada, umesto da prvi korak bude da idu i pričaju sa nekim ko će im možda verovati. Sa mogućnošću da se stvori bezbedan, vremenski obeležen dokument sa zapisom toga šta im se desilo, čime bi se sačuvali dokazi, čak i ako ne žele još da prijave nekog. Poslednje i možda najbitnije, s mogućnošću da prijave napad samo ukoliko je neko prijavio istog napadača. Vidite, kada znate da niste jedini, to menja sve. Menja način na koji oblikujete sopstveno iskustvo, menja način na koji mislite o svom napadaču, to znači da ako istupite, čuvaćete nekom drugom leđa, kao i ta osoba vama.
We created a website that actually does this and we launched it [...] in August, on two college campuses.
Stvorili smo sajt koji radi upravo ovo i pokrenuli smo ga [...] u avgustu, na kampusima dva fakulteta.
And we included a unique matching system where if Mike's first victim had come forward, saved her record, entered into the matching system and named Mike, and Mike's second victim had done the same thing a few months later, they would have matched and the verified contact information of both survivors would have been sent to the authorities at the same time for investigation and follow up.
Uključili smo i jedinstven sistem uparivanja, tako da ako bi istupila Majkova prva žrtva, sačuvala svoju izjavu, unela je u sistem uparivanja i imenovala Majka, a Majkova druga žrtva bi uradila istu stvar mesecima kasnije, oni bi se podudarili i verifikovane informacije za kontakt obe preživele osobe bile bi poslate vlastima u isto vreme za istragu i naknadne procese.
If a system like this had existed for Hannah and her peers, it's more likely that they would have reported, that they would have been believed, and that Mike would have been kicked off campus, gone to jail, or at least gotten the help that he needed. And if we were able to stop repeat offenders like Mike after just their second assault following a match, survivors like Hannah would never even be assaulted in the first place. We could prevent 59 percent of sexual assaults just by stopping repeat perpetrators earlier on. And because we're creating a real deterrent to assault, for perhaps the first time, maybe the Mikes of the world would never even try to assault anyone.
Da je ovakav sistem postojao za Hanu i njene vršnjake, bilo bi verovatnije da će dati izjave, da će im verovati i da će Majk biti izbačen sa kampusa, stavljen u zatvor ili, u najmanju ruku, da će dobiti potrebnu pomoć. A kada bismo mogli da zaustavimo one koji ponove zločin, poput Majka, već nakon njihovog drugog napada i sparivanja, preživeli poput Hane ne bi nikad bili napadnuti. Mogli bismo da sprečimo 59% seksualnih napada time što bismo rano sprečili one koji ponavljaju zločin. A pošto stvaramo pravu odbranu od napada, možda i prvi put, možda bi Majkovi na ovom svetu prestali da pokušavaju da napadnu nekog.
The type of system I'm describing, the type of system that survivors want is a type of information escrow, meaning an entity that holds on to information for you and only releases it to a third party when certain pre-agreed upon conditions are met, such as a match. The application that we built is for college campuses. But the same type of system could be used in the military or even the workplace.
Vrsta sistema koji opisujem, vrsta sistema kakav žele preživeli, to je veza informacija, entitet koji za vas čuva informacije i daje ih nekom trećem samo kad se ispune unapred određeni uslovi, poput podudaranja. Aplikacija koju smo napravili je za kampuse na fakultetu. Ali isti ovakav sistem može se koristiti u vojsci ili čak na radnom mestu.
We don't have to live in a world where 99 percent of rapists get away with it. We can create one where those who do wrong are held accountable, where survivors get the support and justice they deserve, where the authorities get the information they need, and where there's a real deterrent to violating the rights of another human being.
Ne moramo živeti u svetu gde se 99% silovatelja izvuče za svoj zločin. Možemo stvoriti svet gde su oni koji zgreše odgovorni za svoja nedela, gde preživeli dobijaju podršku i pravdu koju zaslužuju, gde vlasti imaju neophodne informacije i gde postoji prava prepreka kršenju prava drugog ljudskog bića.
Thank you.
Hvala vam.
