1 | South Korea: Women-Only Subway Car Meets Strong Opposition | Korea Atsimo: Misedra Fanakianana Mahery Vaika ny Fiara Natokana Ho An'ny Vehivavy Any Anaty Metro |
2 | The subway is one of the fastest, safest and most convenient ways to commute the busy streets of Seoul, South Korea's capital city. | Ny metro no fitaovan-pifamoivoizana haingana indrindra, azo antoka sy mety tsara mba hialàna amin'ny fitohanana eny an'arabe ao Séoul, renivohitr'i Korea Atsimo. |
3 | With subway sexual harassment on the rise, especially during rush hour and late at night, Seoul's municipal authorities have decided to launch a women-only subway compartment to curb sex crime rates, a move which has prompted fierce debate online. | Miaraka amin'ny fiakaran'ny fanavakavahana ny lahy sy ny vavy any anaty metro, indrindra indrindra fa mandritra ny ora mahabe ny mpivezivezy sy rehefa alim-be, dia nanapa-kevitra ireo manampahefana ao an-tanànan'i Séoul ny hametraka fiaran-dalamby natokana fotsiny ho an'ny andriambavilanitra mba hampiatoana io fiakaran'ny fanavakavahana eo amin'ny lahy sy vavy io, fihetsika izay niteraka fanehoan-kevitra nafampàna tokoa teo anivon'ny aterineto. |
4 | Seoul City announced on 20 July 2011, that it will implement a women-only section on subway Line No. 2 starting in September. | Nanambàra ny tanànan'i Seoul tamin'ny 20 Jolay 2011 fa hametraka fiaran-dalamby natao manokana ho an'ny andriambavilanitra ao amin'ny metro Zotra faha 2 manomboka amin'ny Septambra. |
5 | If it receives positive feedback from citizens, the City will expand the project. | Raha tsara ny tamberina avy amin'ny mponina, dia ho haparitaky ao amin'ny tanàna ilay tetikasa. |
6 | According to a local report quoting the subway police [ko], 550 sexual crimes were reported during the first five months of 2011, which represents a 22 percent increase from last year. | Araka ny tatitra iray avy ao an-toerana avy amin'ny polisin'ny metro [ko], herisetra ara-nofo 550 no naharaisana tatitra nandritra ny volana dimy voalohany tamin'ity 2011 ity, izay maneho fiakarana 22 isan-jato raha mitaha amin'ny tamin'ny taona lasa. |
7 | Another local report revealed [ko] that the number of sex offenders in 2010 reached 1,192. | Tatitra iray hafa avy ao an-toerana no namoaka [ko] fa nahatratra 1.192 ny isan'ireo mpanolana tamin'ny 2010. |

11 | Most netizens, doubting the idea's effectiveness, have strongly protested against the new system. | Ny ankabeazan'ireo mponin'ny aterineto, misalasala ny amin'ny mety ho fahombiazan'ilay hevitra, dia nanohitra mafy ilay rafitra vaovao. |
12 | Seo Yong-hwan (@a2n5) who runs an online women's shoe store tweeted [ko]: | Seo Yong-hwan (@a2n5) izay mitantana fivarotana kirarom-behivavy aty anaty aterineto dia nandefa bitsika hoe [ko]: |
13 | Whenever I ride the subway, I try to stay extremely low profile and careful in order to not to be mistaken as attempting any sexual harassment. | Isaky ny mandray metro aho, ezahako foana ny hietry ho faran'izay tsotra sy mitandrina mba tsy horaisina hoe manao faneriterena ara-nofo. |
14 | This is reverse discrimination. | Tena mifanohitra amin'ny fanavakavahana izany. |
15 | During the commuter rush hour, (I bet) there would be more women choosing subway compartments nearest to their transfer exit, rather than the women-only compartments. | Mandritra ny fivezivezena ao anatin'ny ora maha-betsaka ny mpandeha, (ilokako) tsy maintsy ho betsaka ny vehivavy tonga dia hisafidy izay fiara akaiky indrindra ny toeram-pifindràny, toy izay handeha hamonjy ny fiara natao fotsiny ho an'ny vehivavy. |
16 | Kang Hyun-ju (@nymphtintin), a female university student, tweeted [ko]: | Kang Hyun-ju (@nymphtintin), vehivavy mpianatry ny Anjerimanontolo, dia nibitsika hoe [ko]: |
17 | The women-only subway compartment is unreasonable. | Tsy mety kosa ilay fiara anaty metro natokana ho an'ny vehivavy fotsiny. |
18 | Even the already existing ‘seat for weak, old, disabled and pregnant women' is barely working. | Na ireo efa misy, toy ny ‘seza ho an'ny osa, ny antitra, ny kilemaina sy ny vehivavy bevohoka' aza zara raha misy asany. |
19 | It is not the first time that the idea of a women-only subway car has been tried out in real life. | Tsy vao voalohany izao ny hevitra hametrahana fiara natokana ho an'ny vehivavy any anaty metro no nandramana mivantana teo amin'ny fiainana andavanandro. |
20 | In 1992, a similar system was applied to subway Line No. 1, but was soon scrapped after people failed to stick to the rule. | Tamin'ny 1992, rafitra mitovitovy amin'izay no efa nampiharina tao amin'ny Zotra 1, saingy tsy ela dia nadaboka rehefa tsy noraharahain'ny olona ilay fepetra. |
21 | When it came to busy students and workers, the matter of catching the right subway train was much more important than sitting in the right compartment. | Rehefa ireo mpianatra na mpiasa rempotra no miala any, ny zava-dehibe indrindra aminy dia ny hoe tafiditra amin'ny metro tokony handehanany, fa tsy ny hifidy izay fiara sahaza any akory. |
22 | Gender segregation | Fanavakavahana ara-tsokajy |
23 | In South Korea's most active public forum, Daum Agora, net user RaphyRyu wrote [ko] that the segregation can hardly be a solution to the sexual harassment: | Ao anatin'ilay seha-pifanakalozan-dresaka Daum Agora, isan'ny tena be mpampiasa indrindra, nanoratra ilay mpampiasa aterineto, RaphyRyu [ko] fa sarotra ny hampiasa ny fanavakavahana ho fanalahidin'ny herisetra ara-nofo: |
24 | The purpose of women-only compartments would be to protect women from sex crimes. | Ny tanjoma amin'ilay hoe fiara natokana ho an'ny vehivavy any anaty metro dia ny mba hiarovana ireo vehivavy amin'ny herisetra ara-nofo. |
25 | If they are really determined about preventing crimes against women, they should rather strengthen the subway security and enforce the existing law with severe punishment, instead of isolating women in one enclosed area. | Raha tena mihevitra marina ny hisoroka ny heloka atao amin'ny vehivavy ry zareo, tokony ho ny fitandroana ny fahalemana any anaty metro no hamafisina ary ampiharina ny lalàna velona ampiarahana aminà sazy henjana, fa tsy hoe avahana aminà toerana iray mihidy ny vehivavy. |
26 | This new system may seem like ‘preventing crimes on a fundamental level' at first glance, but in fact, it is none other than ‘running away from the problem' because they are incompetent. | Io rafitra vaovao io dia tahaka ny hoe ‘fisorohana ny heloka avy any ifotony' raha atao indray mipi-maso, nefa raha ny marina, tsy hafa fa ‘fandosirana ny olana' ihany satria tsy hain-dry zareo ny misahana azy. |
27 | Think of the opposite case; women riding ordinary compartments or taking subway during hours where there are no women-only subway cars. | Saino ny mifanohitra amin'izay; vehivavy mandray fiara toy ny mahazatra ihany na mandray metro ary amin'ny ora tsy misy ilay fiara natokana ho an'ny vehivavy na iray aza. |
28 | (When something happens to women in those cases,) they are left unprotected. | ( Rehefa misy zava-manjo ireo vehivavy ireo amin'ny tranga tahaka ireny,) tsy misy mpiarao ry zareo. |
29 | Many net users, such as Min-goon, reminded [ko] others of the 1997 subway fiasco when the women-only car was implemented, only to be abandoned right away. | Betsaka amin'ireo mpampiasa aterineto, toa an'i Min-goon, no nampahatsiahy [ko] ny hafa ny tsy fetezan-javatra tamin'ny metro tamin'ny taona 1997 rehefa napetraka ilay fiara natokana ho an'ny vehivavy, avy eo nadaboka nialàna fotsiny tamin'izao. |
30 | Men, potential sex criminals? | Zareo Lehilahy, tena manana fironana hanao heloka ara-nofo? |
31 | Net user Green note who introduces himself as a 20-year-old college student who takes the subway on almost everyday wrote [ko]: | Mpampiasa aterineto i Green note izay milaza ny tenany ho mpianatra eny amin'ny Lisea ary 20 taona mandray ny metro saika ho isanandro mihitsy, nanoratra izy[ko]: |
32 | I get out of my house and take a bus to get to the Jamsil subway station and see a crowd of people standing there. | Mivoaka ny trano aho ary mandray fiara fitaterana ho any Jamsil, toerana fandraisana metro, ary mahita vahoaka be mitsangana eo. |
33 | When there is a long line of people waiting for the subway train, I think to myself, “God. | Rehefa misy laharana be eo miandry metro, hoy aho any an-tsaiko any hoe “Androamanitra o. |
34 | This gonna be an uncomfortable ride”, because there is a high chance of involuntary touchings occurring during the ride. […] The idea of women-only compartments says that they see every men as ‘potential' sex offenders. | Tena ho dia tsy hahazoana aina ity niany”, satria tsy maintsy hitranga ny fifampikasohana tsy iniana mandritra ny dia. […] Ny hevitra amin'ilay fiara atokana ho an'ny vehivavy milaza hoe ny fahitan-dry zareo ny lehilahy tsirairay dia ‘tena mety' ho mpanolana avokoa. |
35 | Most of the online responses to the new system have been negative. | Ny ankabeazan'ireo valinteny ao amin'ny aterineto momba ilay rafitra vaovao dia miiba avokoa. |
36 | However, there are still a few people defending the system. | Na izany aza, misy ampahan'olona vitsy ihany miaro ilay rafitra. |
37 | Dong-hyun (@Beautiful_KWON) tweeted [ko]: | Nibitsika i [ko] Dong-hyun (@Beautiful_KWON) : |
38 | [The supporting side's] argument is ‘think of your family members and your girlfriend'. | [Ny lafy manohana] ny tohan-kevitra dia ‘Hevero ny amin'ireo olona ao anatin'ny fianakavianao na ny sipakelin'ingahy'. |
39 | This is really strong. | Tena henjana ity an. |
40 | I'd vote for it. | Izaho hifidy an'io. |
41 | A previous online vote [ko] which was made several weeks prior to the City authorities' decision, showed in fact that South Korean net users initially liked the idea as it could prove beneficial to both sides: women could feel much safer, while men would be able to escape any unnecessary misunderstandings deriving from the inevitable accidental close encounters that occur within the crowded subway system. | Nisy fifidianana taty anaty aterineto teo aloha teo [ko] izay natao herinandro maro nialoha ny fanapahan-kevitry ny tanàna, naneho marina fa tany ampiandohana ireo Korea Tatsimo mpampiasa aterineto dia nitia ilay hevitra satria hiteraka vokatsoa ho an'ny andaniny sy ny ankilany io: hahatsiaro tena ho tsara aro ny vehivavy, raha ho afaka amin'ny hevitra tsy mifankahazo tsy misy ilàna noho ny kisendrasendran'ny fifanosehana any anaty metro manao fatra-tsaonjo kosa ny lehilahy. |
