Hi, my name is Elsa Marieds

0:00:03.469,0:00:06.432
and I'm the founder and CEO [br]of Red Dot Foundation

0:00:06.432,0:00:08.169
also known as Safecity

0:00:08.931,0:00:12.539
Safecity is a crowd map[br]for sexual violence in public spaces

0:00:12.539,0:00:15.059
and this is collected [br]as location based trends

0:00:15.059,0:00:17.217
visualised on a map, as hotspots

0:00:18.137,0:00:20.748
As you know, sexual violence [br]is a global pandemic

0:00:21.419,0:00:24.181
we have received [br]a lot of international recognition

0:00:24.181,0:00:28.758
for our work in crowdsourcing data [br]and technology to address it

0:00:30.055,0:00:34.653
As a result, we've been invited [br]to speak across the world

0:00:35.121,0:00:38.664
and share our work with several audiences

0:00:38.664,0:00:42.575
I speak in English, but my audiences [br]may not know English

0:00:42.575,0:00:44.210
as their primary language

0:00:44.614,0:00:49.227
Therefore, translation is critical [br]because it helps share my message

0:00:49.227,0:00:52.782
in the true context and meaning[br]that I intend it to be

0:00:54.442,0:00:57.209
For example, I'm in Argentina right now

0:00:57.209,0:00:59.464
and I've had several speaking assignments

0:00:59.464,0:01:02.148
with over five hundred people [br]at each of these places

0:01:03.478,0:01:05.891
Without the help of translators,[br]these people

0:01:05.891,0:01:08.179
would not have understood [br]a word of what I said

0:01:08.515,0:01:13.761
yet, they have appreciated my work [br]and they've got the context and meaning

0:01:14.276,0:01:15.574
of what we are doing

0:01:15.931,0:01:18.567
So in this International Translator's Day

0:01:18.567,0:01:22.278
I would like to celebrate [br]translators and translations

0:01:22.478,0:01:26.386
And thank you very much [br]because language is so critical

0:01:26.386,0:01:31.898
we have to find the bridges [br]to share our experiences with each other

0:01:32.921,0:01:33.927
Thank you.
