Good morning. Violence against women and girls, in all its myriad(无数的，多种多样的) forms – physical and mental, blatant(公然的，明目张胆的) and insidious(隐蔽的，潜伏的) – is a global challenge. It reaches back through millennia and, lately, it has been turbo-charged(强力推动，加速) by technology, which offers abusers new ways to shame, harass(骚扰，侵扰) and monitor victims. What would it take to eradicate(根除，消灭) it?
早上好。针对妇女和女孩的暴力，以其形形色色的形式——身体的和心理的、公然的与隐蔽的——是一项全球性挑战。它回溯千年，而近来又被技术强力助推，技术为施虐者提供了羞辱、骚扰和监视受害者的新途径。要根除它，需要什么？
Scotland’s first minister John Swinney wants to find out. Today, he will set out(阐述，提出) his programme for government (the Holyrood(苏格兰议会所在地，代指苏格兰政府) equivalent of the King’s speech(英国君主在议会开幕时的演讲，阐述政府议程)), and Swinney surprised many when he pledge(承诺，保证)d to put ending violence against women at the heart of(在……的核心) his government’s ambitions for the coming year and beyond.
苏格兰首席大臣约翰·斯温尼想找到答案。今天，他将公布政府的施政纲领（相当于威斯敏斯特的国王演讲），而斯温尼承诺将终结针对女性的暴力置于政府未来一年及更长远目标的核心，这让许多人感到意外。
But haven’t we been here before? Scotland has produced a raft of(大量的，许多) radical(激进的，彻底的) strategies, as well as legislation hailed as(被誉为) the international gold standard on domestic violence. So what hasn’t changed? For today’s newsletter, I spoke to equalities campaigner(活动人士，倡导者) Talat Yaqoob, who co-chair(共同主持，联合主席)ed the Scottish government’s National Advisory Council on Women and Girls after four years until last month. I asked her what government – and societal – action constitute(构成，组成)s meaningful change, and what other countries can learn from Scotland. But first, the headlines.
但我们以前不是经历过吗？苏格兰已经出台了一系列激进战略，以及被誉为国际家庭暴力黄金标准的立法。那么，什么没有改变？在今天的通讯中，我采访了平等运动人士塔拉特·雅库布，她在过去四年直到上个月，一直担任苏格兰政府妇女和女孩国家咨询委员会的联合主席。我问她，政府和社会的哪些行动构成有意义的改变，其他国家能从苏格兰学到什么。但首先，来看头条新闻。
