Shortage of psychologists. But 1st we look at how Climate Change is meeting more and more people to flee their homes and ask if that as a solution. To our planets climate is changing at an alarming rate and leading to extreme weather patterns over the past 140 years since 880. 00 the earths average surface temperature has risen by just over one degree but the rise is already having an impact. Storms flooding and drought a causing more and more people to leave their homes the un says that 5205200 1000000 people will have been displaced by the effects of Climate Change. Where will they go. Grew up here in the highlands of guatemala. Shes grown potatoes all her life in recent years things have changed. This little plant and as you can see she isnt Strong Enough to survive if we cant use it for seeds or potato production its a loss in sydney. Every year drought and frost destroy many potato plants which is all her family grow on their fields. In guatemalas Western Highlands most people are small scale farmers and 3 quarters of them live in poverty during the rainy season from may to october the countryside changes from dusty and dry to lush and green for people are this would be the most trouble free part of the year if only rainfall patterns were like they used to be thanks. Then actually yeah man it is so important for us as a community because we have no Natural Beauty sources that we depend on the rainfall was here last just thats why we buy potato his and canisters to catch them i would. Say that but yet when the summer cannons thats the only way to store a bit of water is that its very important for our communities and our plantations lets start. Them without water we can do nothing thats. Around half the residents of thought or sometimes have gone to the United States after every drought more and more leave most of the men are now working in the us. Every month they send a few 100. 00. To last house was built with u. S. Dollars. The family also uses the money to pay the installments on a loan they took out to finance the trip and the people smugglers. Like most here and her family are mom and indigenous mayan people people our lives together with her children and grandchildren. If these. Are. The last husband emigrated 3 years ago they now make their decisions together over the phone. Here that its a commitment that my husband found it would be very difficult. That still no deagle he accepted definition for terms such as climate refugee even though the wild bank predicts that mexico and Central America will have at least 1400000 internal climate migrants over the next 30 years and many more who will migrate abroad. When davide ramos arrived in arizona 80 years ago there was no Reception Center for migrants. He still waiting for a permanent residence permit. It has a work permit that has to be renewed every 2 years even if he were to be expelled what hes achieved here is something that many back home can only dream of and he earns enough to help support his family in guatemala. Here in the u. S. He works as a freelance gardener. Gets mother its a very different from guatemala he is in a lot of roles in the hot season has been moving on theres hardly any water this. Arizona has a desert climate and a severe lack of water. Life here is only possible thanks to water pipe from a far away colorado river. But the cities of phoenix and tucson still use the resource wastefully. They counted among the least sustainable cities in the world. Hundreds of thousands of liters of water go into keeping golf courses in the deserts of greenland. In the arizona desert scientists at the biosphere 2 experimental station are trying to find out how to model and perhaps aid the earths major ecosystems. The biosphere started out as the Worlds Largest ecological experiment ever conducted with a closed door controlled environment to try to replicate or systems and a better understanding of. The Research Center houses 7 model ecosystems its a unique place where under close to real world conditions its possible to test how Natural Systems will respond to extreme environmental change the researchers can control the climate and measure how the ecosystem reacts. In the model rain forest an International Team of scientists are studying what happens when theres less rain why. Its important to know what will happen in the worlds forests in the future. And so what happens here in the us or what happens in europe or asia at some point is going to end back all of us so i think it behooves all of us to recognise that we are seeing changes that those changes have impacts on ecosystems on resources and we are dependent on those systems for our go. And so if they change so dramatically. Potentially if were not able to adapt. The law is seeking help to the 5 the extreme weather potatoes on her livelihood now shes lost not only a large part of the harvest but has too few seeds tubers for planting next year a seed bank helps farmers like. 53 domestic potato varieties grow in the fields here the seed bank gives people are this in return shell have to give up some of her next harvest. Up up. Yeah. A farming cooperative collects and stores seeds from local crops that way local growers can obtain seeds if need be so when the next drought hits theyre less likely to have to give up their farms and leave. In the highlands of guatemala the descendants of the maya believe that the Global Climate is out of kilter because humans have lost their respect. If we continue to destroy nature and here. In the future people will have nothing in their future trying to. Lebanon is a small country that has a tough time with its neighbors to its south israel and to its east war torn syria an estimated 1500000. 00 Syrian Refugees have come to lebanon its a heavy burden. Iran exerts extensive political influence on the. Trees militant Islamist Organization hezbollah lebanons many religious groups politics and governance a delicate balancing act the country is economically on its knees for months there have been widespread protests in which women are playing a key role. In. The revolution they chant wooden spoons and ponce hammer home their message lebanon has been rocked by protests since last october amid an economic crisis and frustration with the countrys political elite women like laurie high tyin are at the forefront of the protests. To hear women are playing in a very Important Role they are being everywhere wherever you see them they are being that in needing that there was racial and chanting and being like the barrier between the police the police and the the most traitors for peacekeepers shes not interested in just being confrontational more high tyin seeks to unite the crowds in beirut she hopes the protests will strengthen Civil Society and lead to more gender equality and will hopefully well have more women that are presented in the government currently we have 4 i hope that that would be 5050. 00 here we are as an owner and gas Industry Expert lauren works in a male dominated world and 20000 she ran for a seat in parliament but without success she was raised in a family where men and women are treated equally and now wants to see that implemented in politics for the past 4 years shes been meeting with women in management positions to discuss strategy. They come from various religious backgrounds and support different Political Parties what unites them is their desire for equality. That women are always active maybe during the crisis or of washington or wars and then when it comes to making receive that they are a 2nd drag and you have the men taking all. Have the Political Parties. That we are in a few minutes. So whenever a woman when you when she feels that she wants to be empowered or you know advance what it is thats always about here during the revolution all women in the front lines know what we want what we like to see whether it was really how that exactly how can translate now whats happening on the streets politics and this is what makes you doubt me. These days beirut is something of a mecca for party goers for years it was torn apart by a civil war that pitted lebanon for many different religious communities against each other. But now even the economic crisis doesnt seem to be dampening the party spirit here. But appearances can be deceiving in terms of gender equality lebanon lags way behind in the global index thats partly because many aspects of life are governed by religious traditions only men can pass on their lebanese nationality to their children. Many women are also under a lot of pressure to remain virgins until they get married. So being 16 beautiful and. The thought of it to look. Only in last man is a gynecologist she says many women struggle with a system that is unfairly stacked against them regardless of their social class or religion and Sex Education is lacking completely she says. I have to go through the game with a partner to solve the problem of washington and i just think that because they needed neither parent to take their daughter to a guess their society her use of the religion which. I do more harm in a place. So. I think its a problem for the men now but 8. Hi im a no plasty is a surgical operation to restore the vagal membrane associated with virginity she says shes helping to uphold in our camp tradition but the pressure of society is just too great. Thats especially true in rural areas in the mountains near the Syrian Border we come to the village of russia. Its home to her. Shes a member of the Druze Community a religious minority that it appears to centuries old traditions and women. Has had enough up until 5 years ago she was living in the United States it was only while there that she noticed the extent of the gender inequality in her homeland she returned hoping to effect change in her community she talks to the women from her village. As i cannot. See this do we have a think about the mens virginity we lock up our girls at home so that they keep their virginity. Even i brought my daughter here from the u. S. Because i was worried that she might get into a relationship with a man and lose have virginity so i just did it without even thinking. About it. Even though she rejects these traditions she still passing them on to her daughter because she doesnt want her daughter to be rejected by the community the roles for women are very clear nightclubs alcohol cigarettes tattoos and earrings are all banned. Sometimes i feel like im suffocating why didnt any of these rules apply to men they can do whatever they want. If i left the house and switched off my cell phone to be hell to pay theres no fun factor in life my role is to be a mother and a worker. Her mom lives with her parents and 2 daughters so shes basically a single mother her husband who is also a druze is working in the us it was an arranged marriage not a love match in keeping with the rules of the Druze Community. I feel like im locked in a cage they want us to be educated but at the end of the day if i start thinking about how im living and how the rest of the world lives i know im not in the right place. I dont belong here the problem is i was born here. But the ongoing protests and calls for equality which have now also reached russia give her cause for hope hope that her daughters will one day live in a lebanon that is more free and more equal than she has ever known.

As if i can i have to be able to recognize the problems they encounter especially here where theres very little awareness a lot of misunderstanding and misguided ideas like this someone is cursed for example someone who is psychotic is often thought to be cursed and needs to be tied out there that are narrow. The Friendship Bench Program has had amazing results only a few people have to be admitted to hospital a study has shown that the grandmothers have helped reduce the number of suicides in the country but they also do arts and crafts with the patients turning scrap plastic into bags it helps take their mind off their worries and can be a source of income.
