Died after militants bombed this mosque in the Sinai Peninsula the president of egypt is now calling for unity in the face of terror. Military that i send my condolences to the families of the martyrs and my wishes for a speedy recovery for all the wounded. Once again i tell all egyptians that what happened will only increase our determination to face terrorism with all our strength. Im sarah harmer welcome to the day its good to have you with us now the Sinai Peninsula is no stranger to deadly attacks and gyptian police have been battling an insurgency there backed by the socalled Islamic State for years but fridays mosque bombing is egypts deadliest attack in modern history at least two hundred thirty five people died it occurred in egypt Sinai Peninsula near the provincial capital l. Irish witnesses say a bomb exploded outside the mosque that was packed with worshippers for friday prayers gunman then opened fire on people as they tried to flee the building so far theres been no claim of responsibility or earlier i spoke to correspondent karim alcohol re and i asked him why this particular mosque have been targeted. Well thats several serious is behind it of course we dont know any bill but the case response. We dont know of the real motives of the attackers but theres theres speculation about why this mosque and two series the first series that it is. A look that is frequented by these are followers of islam that follow a kind of first spirit of this is a partition of islam and this is a really right a very much hated by the religious islamists who have a more rigid. Everything. The other theory is that there is this village where the whole thing is a tribe living there there is no need to cooperate with the Security Forces and that might be the reason why the most argued that there were just some old scores settled in this attack. This sinai region is known to be a volatile one why is that. Where theres a small scale war between militant islamists and the state going on since many many years going back to the times of Hosni Mubarak but this will escalated in the last. Years in the last months we always had a pact that in the Security Forces hundreds of soldiers and policemen lost their lives in northern. Sinai we also had this year attacks against christians for the trial of the big exodus of the christian population from most i mean but this attack on a mosque is you call it the first time the gun mosque is attacked and return the president has promised a bortle response what do you think he means by that. Well i dont see gets much left to do because you over there is a proof you will already going on is not a china. Air force one from positions in the north china but this is also not the first time so i would want to see what the president can really do which is already done in most cities of course that there may be really gives a hoot again prisoner given that given that they cannot get the area under control. Well we know looking at these pictures the attack occurred as worshippers were attending friday prayers scream past a picture of what it would have been like at the last day. When there is conflicting reports some of them said this is a bomb that exploded to the most skilled people who were escaping and were who were fired upon. Other reports that basically the most course surrounded by armed men and it was started firing it to the most given it people really feel they must have had a lot of pride because there are also reports that they fired upon the algorithm because we try to approach the most the order to. Injure people so it mustve taken quite a long time until the Security Forces are right the other militants were forced to be all right and absolutely tragic situation for those people karim algo hari thank you for being with us today from cairo. A new United Nations report says a third of women in the world have been subjected to violence either in their relationship or Sexual Violence or people outside their relationship secretary general antonio terrorists has initiated a campaign called unite with a goal of eliminating violence against women by the year twenty thirty years ago terrorists with more. It is time to further our collective action to end violence against women and girls for good that takes all of us working together in our own countries regions and communities at the same time and towards the same goal the United Nations is committed to addressing violence against women in all its forms violence against women is fundamentally about power if youll only end when gender equality and full empowerment of women will be a reality. Well for more im joined now in the studio by ron John Mark Carney shes from Arabic Service and originally from syria i want to look with you for a second at a scene from a program that a colleague of ours Jaafari Karim was filming recently and this took place in jordan and we can pull the clip up now weve got a woman whos trying to speak out there a lot of Sexual Harassment that she is exposed to every day and watch what happens its in arabic but. Vehemently attacked by a politician in Jaafari Kanal who calls her a liar and says shes giving a false image of what life in jordan is like now unlike most of our viewers you can actually understand whats going on here are you surprised by what youre seeing or is this really par for the course actually i suppose of one think that some people who has this mentality they hide themselves they are not going on public so this is maybe surprised me that one of the politician he is i think he is the member in the parliament also he just gone on t. V. And talk and this hate i think hate speech so thats sort of the surprise and he was telling her what exactly that she shouldnt be speaking out and he said that first he said that you are not jordanian and then you are give me your id just i want to make sure and then he said stop talk about the by the name of the woman in jordan because this is not true you are distort the image of jordan and then you are a liar and then you just start to tell him that ok you have to respect all my guests or you have to leave and then thank you and then he left the studio so this is a really clear cut case of someone trying to shut down womens voices but the reality of violence and Sexual Harassment for women in the middle east is often a lot less obvious a lot less clear cut what one of your experience has been actually. Something woman and our board if i can say not even all the middle east because i dont know if they can really out through here so woman they some of them they didnt know that the harassment is like a crime they they they think this is a normal thing they they can face the everyday in the street and this is normal and also a lot of men think this is the right because if you are some times if you are just walking in the street without even if you are having a headscarf or even sometimes niqab that you are walking in the city so this is my right to harassing you because you are just show me your body or show me you are you yourself so this is also a thing and the other hand that woman them so they didnt they think ok maybe because of me maybe because i wear something not covered good so they all was like find. Excuses for people who are harassed and they weigh them selves you know how do you combat that it sounds so pervasive. Actually i dont know but maybe because of the tradition because the way that they grow up and also something surprising on social media when you can see some girl saying oh talk about her experience women themselves in comments say that you maybe because a few you did something wrong so this is also something. Sometimes its really surprising because when you are a woman and you have the same fear experienced you can understand that sometimes you didnt do anything and even if you are not wearing whatever you want this is not the right of the others to to her rest and you can be tough to speak at ramaj are lacking from my colleague from new delhi is Arabic Service thank you for being with us thank you and we want to be clear this is an issue that goes far beyond the arab world its not an issue of arab countries or some western countries or rich versus poor by once against women as a problem all over the world and so in honor. Of the uns International Day for the elimination of violence against women we want to devote some time today talking about the broader causes and some solutions im joined now via skype by louisa carballo she is the u. N. Womens regional director for the americas and the caribbean there is a thanks for being with us on news were just seeing a new u. N. Report that shows violence against women is particularly serious in latin america why is that. Thank you very much for helping us as it is able to go on the cruise but also we have to consider other things that are causing on the region where maybe it had something to consider that it did this because it has never had our group of laws that has been so comprehensive and so Second Generation the second thing is that we have also improved the quality of our data gathering the information that says that it might be the case also that we have never seen the highest mobilization of women peddling and all. The good prior names and so its out to create a momentum now so. To have the quality and the number of group of. People that didnt want to do the designing they are going to but please note that this is not yet we have not yet we are not there yet to the data to be grouped services or to be proved a more than it is in the nature of the culture and because of civilization of girls and boys we have to to do these are things because they have done because in the last twenty years women in formal movement is the region has achieved so much and it has been able to organize ourselves a message may be able to change laws to set up service because theyve done so relax and produce we already have seen in the region you can preserve very conservative conservative conservative core type of a conservative movement a game plan trying to really make sexual and reproductive rights policies in many countries and this is a sexual education ok we really are going to have a siren im feeling nice for interrupting the quality of the wine just isnt good enough im having a really hard time understanding and i think our viewers are as well we do apologize and we thank you for your time and for attempting to speak with us today thats always a carvalho she is a u. N. Womens regional director for the americas and the caribbean. Ok well we do have now jenny wrong gren she is the managing editor of the swedish magazine feminist perspective jenny a lot of people when they think of sweden they imagine a country that has really strong gender equality is a violence against women a problem that youre seeing there in sweden well yes actually i think that. We need to realize that no no come true in the world is equal yet and violence is something that upholds inequality and power structures so we of course have violence against women. We also Something Interesting about the nordic countries in comparison in the european perspective is that. We have high level of equality and also high level of violence compared to the countries weve seen you know a lot of online campaigns recently like this need to hash tag will women say i also was a victim of Sexual Assault theyre getting a lot of attention right now do you think theyre having a real concrete effect. Yes i do think so because i think sometimes it can be even. Very more theres a nother kind of stigma in a context where youre supposed to be free youre supposed to be equal youre counted as one of the most equal countries in the world and there are efforts made to come back to violence against women so then its even more sometimes stigma to admit that you have been subjected to Something Like that and i think that. Sometimes. What we have seen and the government who has also analyzed is that most of the efforts made now have been focused very much on saving the women from islands but what we also have to do and speaking about what the women have to do to become equal and to become free but we also have to speak about preventing crime and and most of the efforts have been in forms of projects and then when the project this over the knowledge about how to combat violence has not been forward at so i think theres a lot of. Action that needs to still be done and and of course every time you start a new effort it will take time before it have has impact also especially in prevention but its i think there is you know the campaigns always generate new. New action so this is very positive in the u. S. Recently weve seen a wave of naming and shaming of sexual abusers in recent weeks are you seeing anything similar happening in sweden. Yes i think that maybe sweden is the country where the me to campaign have had maybe the most impact we see groups of professions who are stand lighting up together and making statements. Witnessing about abuse they have been subject to in their workplaces and test been there like like a Snowball Effect that is been just growing and growing and just yesterday evening the Swedish Academy. Has to come out with a statement they are going to give out the nobel prize soon and theres this is a really symbolic Power Institution with the cult of the genius and everything like that and the and the have been collaborating with a man who has been named and shamed for. Abuse this event now in. The Swedish Academy the discussion what has come out of it is they are they are breaking all the collaboration they are not financing the this man anymore and also so his power is going to fall and also the Swedish Academy is going to investigate themselves their own so it sounds like youre saying some real consequences that youre describing with the Swedish Academy jenny wrong and we thank you so much for being with us today on the news and sharing your feminist perspective. In two thousand and four some toya brown was a sixteen year old American Girl and a victim of sex trafficking today shes a twenty nine year old woman serving a life sentence in prison her crime was shooting and killing one of the men who purchased her for sex she was trying to as an adult in the u. S. State of tennessee and she was given a life sentence now back in two thousand and eleven dan berman made a documentary about her situation but then the whole thing just kind of faded from memory recently though some toy story has come back into the spotlight more about that in a minute but first needs into a brow. Beat my oh my. My. My. What. Our. T. V. This is a kid who had some horrible experiences. With. Her and it wasnt just about sort of the thing but it was it was a lot of. To get involved. In. Why would you. Throw me away for the reason. Why. The. Rose clips are from dan bermans documentary film facing a life story he joins us now from past and dana dan thanks for being with us its really great to have you on the program was it lets be clear right off the bat that some toy admits that she killed this guy the issue isnt if she did it or not its the length of the sentence that she was given to tell us why is it unusual. To be clear do it is guilty words she knows that she she never denied that so that was not thats never an issue so later the issue deletes of the sentence becomes an issue actually began again two thousand and five when the Supreme Court of the United States started seeing a change of being of another of our laws of how we treat jewels of the jewel Justice System without having to without im not attorney obviously but i do know the laws pretty well all the laws now make it impossible for us to treat or make it difficult for us to treat juveniles as adults but sent to it was treated as an adult she was given an adult sentence of sixty seven years for her crime now this documentary they made its six errors old why is it coming back into public consciousness all of a sudden. Obviously this is a time that word sexual abuse is resonating in america its this is unfolding on a on a nightly basis where new cases every day its not ok to use the people and this is becoming a very hot news item the new station in nashville decided to do a story and since it was the team thats fighting for clemency for sin toyah and when they did that the story got out that story then was was put on instagram by various artists all around america yeah weve seen a lot of celebrities taking ups and toy is causing among them was really on a lets see if we can pull up what she wrote on instagram she was speaking about and toya and she wrote something is horribly wrong i want to system enables is rapists and the victim is just thrown away for a life we also saw the british model slash actress Cara Delevingne writing on instagram that the Justice System is backward she said this is completely insane and even the reality star kim carr dash and got on twitter and said you know we have to do better and do whats right crashing out of should call the her attorney to say what could be done to quote fix this dan im wondering do you think the car dash in legal team is going to have any effect on some tires fate. Yeah i dont know the answer because im not part of the legal teams i know that that since oil has competent legal representation in tennessee im certain that anybody whos stepping up to the plate to help will be in touch with her attorneys and they will have that conversation when was the last time you spoke to central and how did she feel about all of this becoming an issue again. Since oil is a is rather pragmatic i spoke with her actually as recently as today shes rather pragmatic about this she the Media Attention that shes seeing or that shes hearing about shes not seeing much of his she is after all a president shes heartened that the the whole conversation about sexual abuse and then sex trafficking is coming to the surface she doesnt see this as an as about her she sees this is a much larger picture this is what she has to do with her education is taking this on a much Bigger Picture shes shes now dedicated to look concept of sex trafficking and getting rid of that. Center i was speaking in your documentary or i suppose after about what she herself hopes this might have changed lets see if we can pull up that clip of some toya speaking in her own words. Some people may think rehabilitate themselves and think of themselves together against all the odds but just imagine what could happen and there are people who want to help them professionals who know what theyre doing. Maybe this found these issues for him in this family could help another child so now the mother and the father some of the family doesnt have to go through that. She sounds really hopeful for someone who has been in prison for more than a decade dandiya share her optimism. Is an ongoing fight i dont think theres an end in sight for dealing with aggression i dont think theres an end in sight for dealing with abuse against women i dont think there is an end in sight for any of this i think there is awareness insight and so i i am hopeful that our villain and other films and other whether other media can can really shed light on that you know one of the things i think is really important here is i took this on. As a as a documentarian because documentary can do Something Different we can take a very big complex message and condense it down to a smaller package we had and every film every idea that comes out is just a snapshot in time the ideas still need further discussion constantly this doesnt go away doesnt go away or were just got about a minute left and i want to give you the final word what message would you like to give to our viewers when it comes to some toya brown and her story. I think its entirely brown opened up her life for a variety of reasons she opened up for her life because she herself early on in the process and continually wanted it to be known that she knows the stakes she made and if by sharing her story she can help one child keep from going down the path that she went down its all worth it and at the same time if she can help one parent become a better communicator with his or her child and theyre raised in the growing process it might save us until the browns for the future are that stan berman is a documentary filmmaker who made facing life so toyia story dan thanks for being with us here on day getting asked.
