我(们)是在某遍布作坊的城中村工作和生活的服装产业女工,这件衣服在我(们)的劳动和劳动的间隙中完成。我(们)在一匹165米长的布上印满了1月底以来网上对丰县事件的一些质疑,讨论和行动。每件衣服都是这个档案的一部分,这包里还有一些裁下的布碎。随你用来做点什么。

我(们)知道,消除性别暴力是一个漫长的过程,很高兴可以成为这个时候很多努力中的一份,人海茫茫,相互打气。

I (we) are female workers in garment industry who live and work in an urban village filled with workshops. This garment was completed during the intervals of our labor. I (we) printed on a 165-meter-long fabric some online questions, discussions, and actions regarding the Fengxian incident since the end of January (2022). Each garment is a part of this archive, and the package also contains some fabric scraps that were cut off. Feel free to use them as you wish.

I (we) know that eliminating gender-based violence is a long process, and we are delighted to be a part of many efforts at this time. In the vast ocean of people, we ought to encourage and inspire each other.

 

需要补充的是,在制作的过程中,一些参加的女工朋友是第一次听闻丰县事件。我们有感触和共情,但也有朋友是出于个人情谊前来参与,这让我们感受到,质疑,讨论,进而向公权力表达抗议和问责,可能更多是来自大学和城市的声音。十几年来城市高速发展的背后,是农民在种植中获得的过低收入,流动工人在城市缺失的福利和保障,留守儿童匮乏的教育资源,这些不平等使城乡阶层之间存在许多沟壑,想象中的女性共同体,也许还愿没有扩展到它应有的范围。希望大家由丰县事件开始的这些种种努力,可以朝向许多更广更远的连结。

 

It's worth noting that, during the production process, some female workers who participated heard about the Fengxian incident for the first time. While we felt touched and empathized by the public outrage, these workers participated because of personal relationships. This made us realize that the questioning, discussion, and subsequent protest and accountability to public power might come more from voices in universities and cities. Behind the rapid development of cities over the past decade lies the meager income farmers earn from cultivation, the missing welfare and protection for migrant workers in cities, and the scarce educational resources for left-behind children. These inequalities create many gaps between urban and rural classes. The imagined female community might not have expanded to its intended scope yet. We hope that the efforts stemming from the Fengxian incident can lead to many broader and more extended connections.

 

Hello, 我是你朋友的朋友,这件衣服经过几个人才传到你这里。这上面收录着这场行动中的人们,比如在鞋底刻着“关注丰县” 行走,并鼓励大家一起这样做的尹燃,比如去了现场探望受害者,遭遇了警察暴力并在微博中说出警察暴力的乌衣,比如在地铁上穿着“关注丰县”的T恤的女孩,比如发布自己关于妇女拐卖和性别暴力口述史的亲历者们。在过去的几个月,她们都遭遇了不同程度的来自安全警察的恐吓和监禁。因为快递实名制和疫情带来的封控,这件衣服的制作和流通也经历了各种各样的封锁,怀疑,恐惧,审查,辗转各个城市, 通过一些服装市场的朋友,快递员朋友和其他朋友的帮助寄到你手上。

这是一个纪念品,送给为这件事情关注过发声过的,我们未曾见过的朋友,你可以留下它,也可以送给你觉得会喜欢的人。

 

Hello, I'm a friend of a friend. This piece of clothing has journeyed through multiple hands to reach you. Embodied within it are the stories of those who sustained a movement: from Yin Ran, who etched "Pay Attention to Fengxian" on shoe soles and inspired others to follow suit, to Wu Yi, who faced police brutality after visiting victims and later exposed it on Weibo. There's also the tale of a girl who boldly wore a "Pay Attention to Fengxian" T-shirt on the subway, and of fearless individuals who vocalized their personal accounts of women's trafficking and gender-based violence. Over the past few months, these advocates have all faced varying degrees of intimidation and detention from security police. Due to real-name registration for deliveries and pandemic-related restrictions, the creation and circulation of this garment experienced blockages, suspicion, fear, scrutiny, and traveled through different cities. With the help of some friends from the garment market, courier services, and other channels, it was finally delivered to you. 

This is a memento, a gift for friends like you whom we've never met but have spoken out and shown concern for this cause. You can keep it or give it to someone you believe would appreciate it.
