00:00:01,035 --> 00:00:03,469
Hi, my name is ElsaMarie DSilva

2
00:00:03,469 --> 00:00:06,432
and I'm the founder and CEO 
of Red Dot Foundation

3
00:00:06,432 --> 00:00:08,169
also known as Safecity

4
00:00:08,931 --> 00:00:12,539
Safecity is a crowd map
for sexual violence in public spaces

5
00:00:12,539 --> 00:00:15,059
and this is collected 
as location based trends

6
00:00:15,059 --> 00:00:17,217
visualised on a map, as hotspots

7
00:00:18,137 --> 00:00:20,748
As you know, sexual violence 
is a global pandemic

8
00:00:21,419 --> 00:00:24,181
we have received 
a lot of international recognition

9
00:00:24,181 --> 00:00:28,758
for our work in crowdsourcing data 
and technology to address it

10
00:00:30,055 --> 00:00:34,653
As a result, we've been invited 
to speak across the world

11
00:00:35,121 --> 00:00:38,664
and share our work with several audiences

12
00:00:38,664 --> 00:00:42,575
I speak in English, but my audiences 
may not know English

13
00:00:42,575 --> 00:00:44,210
as their primary language

14
00:00:44,614 --> 00:00:49,227
Therefore, translation is critical 
because it helps share my message

15
00:00:49,227 --> 00:00:52,782
in the true context and meaning
that I intend it to be

16
00:00:54,442 --> 00:00:57,209
For example, I'm in Argentina right now

17
00:00:57,209 --> 00:00:59,464
and I've had several speaking assignments

18
00:00:59,464 --> 00:01:02,148
with over five hundred people 
at each of these places

19
00:01:03,478 --> 00:01:05,891
Without the help of translators,
these people

20
00:01:05,891 --> 00:01:08,179
would not have understood 
a word of what I said

21
00:01:08,515 --> 00:01:13,761
yet, they have appreciated my work 
and they've got the context and meaning

22
00:01:14,276 --> 00:01:15,574
of what we are doing

23
00:01:15,931 --> 00:01:18,567
So in this International Translator's Day

24
00:01:18,567 --> 00:01:22,278
I would like to celebrate 
translators and translations

25
00:01:22,478 --> 00:01:26,386
And thank you very much 
because language is so critical

26
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:31,898
we have to find the bridges 
to share our experiences with each other

27
00:01:32,921 --> 00:01:33,927
Thank you.
