From the us to the other side of the world iran a nation where womens freedoms are heavily restricted that even activities like applying for a passport or traveling require permission from then and getting a divorce if youre a woman is extremely difficult iranian women have been campaigning for equal rights since the beginning of the last century back in one thousand nine hundred eighty six the first women were admitted to university in the country now over hof of all iranian students a female. Despite that advance women are still prohibited from do. Many sames in public. Its particularly hard to break with traditional setups in Rural Communities and yet time and again some courageous women do exactly that. Suzanne rushdie lived as a nomad in the kurdish region of northwestern iran. During the winter she and the other members of her Community Head south to warmer climes she always has plenty to do women here work just as hard as the men. But they dont enjoy the same rights. There are certain customs and rules that we have to obey the traditions are especially strong amongst us kurdish nomads. For example girls arent allowed to participate in sports for ages i didnt dare tell my parents that i wanted to do sports and i finally did my father was furious. But she remained undeterred and despite her fathers displeasure she took up kick boxing. The memory of her childhood struggles makes suzanne sad the restrictions placed on her as a woman have had a profound effect on her. Own path her first love the music neighbors and family members looked down on my father because of me. They talked about me behind my back. Many also said bad things to my face but i ignored it and continued to do my sport. So even when i started winning tournaments and all the media reported on this nomad girl who had become a winner. It still wasnt acceptable for the people here the mature dont know your photo. But it was acceptable for one person such as ms i. E. A young man from a nomad family from a lamb in southwestern iran. He had been acquiring some sand from a farm he was impressed by her courage and strength. When he asked her to marry him she had one condition that he not interfere in her sporting life a condition thats not judd was happy to accept. The man. Zonal march first people when i see men and women as equals women can do sports just like men i have no problem with that regardless of what other people say. In fact im proud that my wife is a kickboxer i like that and i support her as much as i can. Give it to now call my question but im sad that. The couple have decided to continue living this low months thats unusual for people of their range. Most of the Younger Generation have nuf to the big cities in the hope of having a better future. But sutton finds a sense of freedom in this solitude. Suzanne loves the Great Outdoors too and she loves her new life struggles as a young girl paid off. She has won kick box competitions at the National Level she has a supportive husband and has achieved more than she ever dreamed of after the next tournament is coming up soon so suzanne needs to practice extra hard. And here to her husband is happy to help. Suzanne was first inspired to do kickboxing when she was a child and saw bruce lee in movies she said she wanted to be like him. She noticed five moves that she secretly practiced at night but sharp left right right left right right. Far as i owe them you can come out of oh no we women just need places to train ive never seen such strong minded women as here in iran. Iranian women are really strong theyre able to achieve what they want even under the most difficult conditions all they need are opportunities to practice places where they can train that are safe and secure. Im near thats supposed to. Both. Suzanne didnt wait for someone else to take the initiative she opened up her own kickboxing school in none the city nearest town i come of and dominates the public sphere in this conservative city which is home to fifty thousand people there arent many women on the streets here unemployment and frustration abound married women are often the victims of domestic violence. When suzanne decided a few months ago to teach kick boxing to girls the students came in droves. Thank you thank you. Thank you. Michel let me when i hung up a poster offering kickbacks and classes thirty girls immediately signed up i thought wow this is only a small city as so many want training and it would be worth opening a school that. Since then the girls have been winning one tournament after another. But home attack in the evening suzanne proudly shows us how medals she only has one regret. That i dont have a single photo or video of me actually fighting. This here is all i have because in iran youre not allowed to film women doing sports. And thats why i cant show my students or children footage of me competing in the tournaments. The Security Services wouldnt allow that. Exist on pursued her dream against all the odds now her students are following in her footsteps that inspiration instructor has given the confidence to believe that the sky is the limit if theyre prepared to fight. In this week that was very devout global ideas they raise we travelled to sumatra over the past fifty years deforestation has destroyed all because a fraction of the countrys rain forest the natural habitat of the orangutan now new National Park is one of the animals few remaining refuges. Three years ago all reports to see witness the reintroduction of a female around the town into the wild now shes forced her way back through the forest to see how dora is doing. Were on a mission to find dora shes here somewhere deep in the sumatran jungle. Was one of the pay to party or to steam release the orangutan into the wild equipped with a transmitter. Dora has been in the jungle for quite a while now so we can no longer predict where she is we have two thousand square kilometers of forest here so it takes time but then suddenly you hear a rustling in the trees. And its if you go. In the end doris curiosity gets the better of her when she appears. Shes not eighty years old. Three years ago. She was released into the wild. But recall that shed been told all she needed to know to survive in the jungle how to climb how to build a nest and how to find food. These are things baby orangutans normally learn from their mothers but dora was an orphan shed spent most of her life being kept illegally as a pet. For. Fact. As a result shes very tame even after three years in the wild she readily takes to humans. But. The conservationists are keeping a close eye on dora right now theyre worried because she appears to be losing weight. So you think. If i love. Your arm because. I dont i will. Is. In fact. Very well also but. Smart. In the jungle. Pater priority has been working with around the towns for seventeen years he and his team have released one hundred seventy into the wild so far. But theyll need twice that number to produce a population that can survive on its own. Our main aim is to protect the lowland rainforest the orangutan is like our poster child the ambassador of the rainforest if you will and if we dont protect it well lose the. Eighty percent of sumatra as rain forest has disappeared over the last fifty years that means the iranian towns natural habitat is disappearing none of them could survive in an acacia plantation these monocultures are completely different from their natural habitat thats why its so important that we preserve the remaining twenty percent of the rainforest. The focus now is on preserving the protected areas that already exist its too late for anything else. Family has also found a new home in the book it to go pull National Park where shes now living in the wild. All the orangutans in this nature reserve were born in captivity each one with its own story. For him bonnie has lived in the wild for years right now shes coming back to the center regularly to show off her young son roger. When you have a servant around it and you often see behaviors that are typical of human beings you can really see that were closely related. Each animal is an individual with a different face a different character and a different speed at which they learn new things theyre like one big family. Veterinarian and honey how tante is going to check dora over. So not only has she been losing weight shes also been having difficulties climbing. Probably because she was in a fight with another orangutan and is injured. One of our staff phoned her already on the ground and. Are a problem. For you know. Yet. The name of this National Park a bookie to go means ferdie hills its one of the. Land rain forests and one of the last remaining sanctuaries for orangutans. You. Can survive here than tigers and all the other animals will be automatically protected to you thats why its so important to preserve what we have here. Continue to observe the orangutans they release into the wild critters least two years the project will only be considered a success if the animals have offspring. Our hope is that the population here will become so large that the towns can survive on their own and reproduce so that there will be a new population. Long term. Perhaps when shes a few years older also have a baby to show off. Helping to ensure that the Orangutan Population in some continues to grow.
