你有没有过这样一个瞬间——
随着自己慢慢长大
某一刻，你突然发现世界的一些规则
与自己认知中的不太一样
有时候并不是黑白分明
“规则”也不是同等地适用于所有人
同样的事
有的人做是“勇敢”，有的人做是“出格”
同样的诉求
有的人说是“合理”，有的人说是“极端”
于是你开始困惑：
为什么一个本该不言自明的问题
到今天还在被争论？

探讨这个问题
它也许并没有给出完美的答案
但它提出了值得我们每个人
认真去思考、去面对的问题

Before I gave this speech, I received a lot of feedback from my friends. Many of them told me my topic was too political, too controversial, and that I should present it more euphemistically. For a moment, I actually considered changing it. However, then I realized something:If the truth can be sugarcoated and made more comfortable, is it the truth at all?
As a 14-year-old, I recognize that I couldn't solve centuries of inequality with a single speech. But I also felt that staying silent would mean accepting the idea that these issues are simply too uncomfortable to talk about.I wanted to use my voice not just for myself, but for the millions of women and girls who have experienced injustice because of the systems or governments around them.
When writing this speech it was actually particularly challenging. I had to see the truth without the disguise, reading stories from victims all over the world, many of them leaving me gagged and appalled. However, this also convinced me that speaking about this matter is necessary, andif my speech encourages even one person to question an unfair belief or to better understand what feminism truly stands for, then I believe it has fulfilled its purpose.
在我发表这次演讲之前，我收到了许多朋友的反馈。他们很多人告诉我，我的话题太政治化、太有争议性，我应该用更委婉的方式来表达。有那么一瞬间，我确实考虑过换一个题目。然而，后来我意识到一件事：如果真相可以被粉饰得让人更舒服，那它还能称之为真相吗？
作为一个14岁的青少年，我明白自己无法通过一次演讲就解决数百年的不平等。但我也感到，保持沉默就意味着默认这些议题“过于令人不适而无法谈论”。我想用自己的声音，不仅为自己，也为全世界那些因周遭体制或政府而遭受不公的数百万女性发声。
撰写这篇演讲稿实际上非常具有挑战性。我必须剥去伪装去看清真相，阅读来自世界各地受害者的故事，其中很多让我震惊不已、哑口无言。然而，这也让我确信，谈论这件事是必要的——如果我的演讲能促使哪怕一个人去质疑某种不公正的观念，或者更好地理解女权主义真正代表什么，那么我相信它就完成了自己的使命。
Some writing tips I would like to share, is to choose a topic that you are genuinely passionate about, becausepassion is what makes a speech memorable and motivational. When you truly care about what you're writing, your emotions come across more naturally, and it makes you more authentic and charismatic.
Also,do not be afraid of difficult topics.If a subject matters to you, don't avoid it simply because it is controversial. Instead, make sure your points are well-researched and supported by credible evidence.
我想分享一些写作技巧：选择一个你真正充满热情的话题，因为热情是让一场演讲令人难忘且富有感染力的关键。当你真心在乎所写的内容时，你的情感会更加自然地流露出来，这也会让你显得更真诚、更有魅力。
此外，不要害怕困难的话题。如果一个议题对你来说很重要，就不要仅仅因为它有争议而回避它。相反，要确保你的论点经过充分研究，并有可靠的证据作为支撑。
When I was just a child I thought the world was either black and white, fair or injust, right or wrong. I thought equality was already achieved. But growing up felt like watching color slowly bleach into a utopia I didn’t question before. I began seeing the shades between. Realizing for many women and girls, the rules were never the same to begin with.
I remember going on my youtube “for you” page and seeing there was a debate between anti-feminists and feminists. I wondered why? Why is this even a question to begin with. Feminism stands for equal rights for all. And We as young women, somehow, are labeled as extremists, misandrists simply for believing we deserve the same opportunities as a man would. Since when did asking for fairness become something radical? Since when did wanting to be heard become something controversial? We are not asking to be above men. In fact, we are just asking to be given the same chances without having to prove we are worthy of them first. And judges, this is where I began to see feminism differently.
Feminism is often mistaken for misandry, hate.towards.men. however it’s the opposite... and i bring this up because this isn’t just fight for women, it’s a fight for all of us, both genders.
And what’s interesting judges, is a few months ago I read a report by theguardian.com about a woman in Afghanistan who was beaten by her husband with a cable wire. When she sought justice, a judge told her, “A little anger and a few beatings won’t kill you.” Under Taliban law, men are allowed to beat their wives as long as they do not leave severe injuries, and for this, they may face 15 days of imprisonment 15 days ladies and gentleman , 15 days. No words can I be able to describe how enraged and gagged I was. It is absolutely repulsive, how many more women are to endure this humiliation, how many more deaths need to be seen just to prove that what humanity is doing is wrong. How many more bodies have to fall to prove that this is insane? When a system tells a women that their pain is insignificant, it can be worse than physical harm, it erases their humanity.
Another major issue is Sexual violence, a reality too many women live with every single day. Around the world, women are harassed in the streets, silenced in their workplaces, and made to feel unsafe even in spaces that are meant to protect them. According to nomadsister.com in India women should avoid traveling alone at night. This shifts the burden onto the wrong people. Telling women to avoid traveling alone at night isn’t really about the women’s behavior it’s the failure to address why that fear exists in the first place, it comes from men who choose to assault and harm. Yet instead of confronting that, society often teaches women to shrink their freedom: don’t go out, don’t be alone, don’t attract too much attention. according to the US department of justice “78 women are raped each hour in America”.
Women should have never have to plan their lives around avoiding violence. And The culture surrounding it the doubt, the blame, the expectation to stay quiet. Too often, are women told to change how they dress, how they speak, how they exist. Too often are they left with no voice to ask for a solution.
Now, I know when a problem is posed it’s suppose to offer a potential solution to “fix” it. But how do I compress centuries of inequality into one simple point? How do u create a solution intricate enough to address systemic injustic, yet simple enough to explain in a few mins?
The truth is, feminism is not a problem with a single cure. So no, I cannot stand here and pretend, i cannot promise to solve feminism today. But I can ask you to move society one step closer to fairness than it was yesterday. Firstly, I hope we learn not only to protect our daughters, but also to educate our sons. You cannot kill a weed by trimming the leaves you must pull them out by the roots. For far too long women have been told to cover themselves up because MEN cannot control where their eyes should be. And for FAR TOO long have women been under the oppression disguised as “tradition,” “protection,” or “discipline.” Feminism is about challenging the status quo, questioning the norms that have been accepted for far too long. So Perhaps feminism is not about achieving perfection. Perhaps it is simply about refusing to leave the world as unjust as we found it.
Ladies and gentlemen, When I was younger, I believed the world was simple, black and white, fair or injust, right or wrong. But growing up taught me that injustice is created by normalization. And we can’t afford to do that. We cannot afford to look at suffering and label it as extremists. Because behind every label are real people, real lives, and real voices being silenced. So I ask you, judges, if we continue to ignore these injusts, what does that say about us? If we stay silent, are we allowing it to continue? And by allowing this to happen, what future are we trying to create?
Because the question is no longer whether feminism is needed or not, it is, how much longer can we justify a world as it is right now?
Thank you
“也许女权主义并不是为了达到完美，
它只是拒绝让这个世界
像我们刚发现它时那样不公。”

她知道自己力量微小，但她拒绝麻木
或许，改变的第一步
从来不是什么宏大的方案
而是我们每一个人都开始思考
并对世界发问
