To live in isolation unable to cope with the pressures they feel society imposes on them. A social animals say sociologists and traditionally life was lived in tribes or extended families that made things like gathering food looking after one another and surviving both easier and more likely but over time we became increasingly selfreliant now people are often left to fend for themselves in densely populated Cities Community tends to be something that takes place only on line the result is a sharp rise in loneliness millions of men and women cut off from society devoid of a sense of belonging. To. Me in the area. One europe wide study revealed that around for. 30000000. 00 europeans regularly feel lonely thats 7 percent of the overall population. In japan too many people live in total isolation for years even decades. Tokyo a vibrant mega city home to 15000000 people but some tokyo residents find it a challenging place to live they say its too busy too noisy so they simply dont leave their homes sometimes for a few months sometimes for decades. Aga turkey is one of these modern day hermits he hardly ever leaves his room he decided to become a recluse 15 years ago. I was learning french at the time the teacher would always ask us what weve done that will look like i didnt have a job so i never did anything to say i couldnt have a conversation and so i retreated more and more from the world. This remarkable. Turkey is whats known in japan as a mori which basically means pulling inward being confined they spend their days cooped up in their homes on the internet playing video games they cant cope with the pressures of the outside world. You might be looking at the same view for 35 years. To post some might say its a lovely view. When im not feeling well i see everything as though it were shrouded in the greatest is just all grey some stuff. Japan is now reportedly home to over a 1000000 he komori possibly even more its hard to compile exact figures they fear school or work they fear failure in Japanese Society being different or standing out is frowned upon without outside help its hard for these people to find a way back into normal life. Is a qualified nurse 5 years ago she founded a Health Organization for these social recluses its called heat m. R. E. Which translates as a place in the sun. We need to help them build confidence the aim is to find them jobs but there are many small steps that have to be taken before we get to that point we go for walks outside with them we encourage them to speak to their parents and develop a daily routine it. Earlier this year 2 people died when he could more attacked a group of schoolchildren in college sarky days later a Government Official stabbed to death his reclusive son fearing he might harm others meo gotos says incidents like these are the stigmatized morry worsens their anxiety and exacerbates the problem quite isolated events of this kind make people afraid of he could comare. When the parents no longer feel able to talk openly about their children and share their concerns with others its not enough that makes it even harder to help them. Most to keep good morning. Goto and her team see themselves as their big sister can suki and di suki dont want to be recognised the fact theyve managed to leave their rooms to attend a consultation is already a major achievement. On a scale of one to 10 today i feel minus 3 its. A bad mood. When im in my room. How can i get out of here. And how can i stop being a burden on my parents. The parents of he could morrie often suffer as much as they do they often feel a strong sense of shame publicly admitting that their child has no job and no friends would be humiliating so they keep quiet often hiding them from their neighbors for example in this way theyre complicit in maintaining their childs isolation its a problem that set to become even more acute in the coming year. In japan we talk about the 8050 problem. When the parents are 83rd children or 50. And the older their parents get the harder it is for them to look after their children. Traditionally Japanese Culture emphasised conformity for people who feel different staying within their own 4 walls can seem like a safe option but this selfimposed exile can become impossible to escape now aged 40 or guitar he wonders if hell be able to reenter society. Quite. My biggest worry is taking the 1st step out of credit thats the hard bit. Should i leave my home for you should i leave my father who looks after me with me maybe a fire on my own i would have more clarity about what sort of life i want to live. Near that could come soon then. Leaving the house should be so easy but for he more a its a terrifying step if the world outside better understood the condition perhaps it would help them reintegrate. And now we had to africa rwanda is known rather poetically as the land of a 1000 hills but such topography makes farmers lives anything but easy rainfall to come in the leads to funding and erosion on a recent assignment there are reports of fires saying are trudged through a fashion or of mud she met with people in northern rwanda who are taking measures to reduce the incidence of flooding. The farmers of the cooperative are distraught what looks like a lake is actually potato and corn fields everything is under water the harvest is lost. The only road through the valley is also flooded. Everything that needs to be transported now has to be carried around the lake yet the valley is supposed to be protected against floods. Hi youre persian. First of all a project manager from the Adaptation Funds came to see us this and found that other people came to prepare the construction work and to get an idea of the terrain and. Some. Once they were finished with their work we were finally able to plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating your mess in the they dug drainage ditches everywhere. Then the project was over. But not long after they left we realized the problem still wasnt solved the water just came back this one up with saddam. The Adaptation Fund is a United Nations initiative that aims to help developing countries cope with Climate Change rwanda has a High Percentage of fertile volcanic soil that means even the High Mountain slopes can be used for our poll farming the problem is heavy rain washes the soil down into the valley the solution is to build terraces into the slopes following the example of the incas in south america. For we knew about building terraces the soil on the slopes just used to get washed into the valley. There was no point in using the newer fertilizer. But now whatever we use stays where its meant to be so the crops on the terraces are growing faster and we have better harvest. Now all the mountain villages here have built terraces its a time consuming process the steps in the slope need to be at least 5 metres deep one is complete the ground then needs to rest for 3 months sometimes there are unexpected obstacles farmers have stumbled across on mt graves left from the genocide in 1904 which killed around a 1000000 people. We found bodies under this field of People Killed during the genocide. So we didnt get any further there used to be a house here presumably there was a massacre and they just dumped all the bodies under there we dont dig terraces in an area like that. You had. A few valleys further own as the cabbie Green Village its one of many socalled Green Villages in rwanda helping to promote sustainable development. Each village has its own school. Local families each given a plot of land to farm. Sanitation facilities and rainwater tanks ensure clean water is available and each family is also given a cow. More than 200 flood victims from the region have found a new home in cabbage. Our lowest retire his ear a is one of them. Meanwhile ive planted potatoes beans and corn on my land. Now and what ive also specialized in leafy vegetables. Are especially good for the children to ensure they get a balanced diet plus the chard and spinach sell for a particularly good price and. The profits he makes some selling his fruit and vegetables has allowed him to build up a flock of sheep again. He now has a few chickens too. Just one year ago things were very different. With them along with a new order to get a house and cover yards or you 1st had to prove that you were a victim of the floods. Lost everything in a single night. Before that i had been a very successful businessman. But in one fell swoop all of my 63 cars were gone everything i possessed was destroyed by the rain. I thought i would lose my mind. But his neighbors gathered signatures to ensure he got a house in the Green Village today the string that washed away his house looks quite harmless. And now the building has been put out where his once stood with a new Family Living in it. He warned them about how dangerous it is here but in densely populated rwanda every piece of farmland is needed and jobs are in short supply. Work outside of the farming sector is especially hard to come by in rural areas but a center for regional handicrafts opened recently here a small group of women are running that i mean tailoring business. They make everything from festive gowns to more every day items with bags and other accessories to match. And its so much easier to make a living from sewing the work here is seasonal too but i earn well between 25 and 30000 rwandan francs a week. You can live while a lot. To. Me is. We make our way back to the farm as cooperative. Anyone capable of holding a shovel is out in the fields doing their bit everyone is hoping that if they can move enough mud out of the way the water will drain off. The women dig out the big stones. They then carry them to one of the many small water channels. But in this way theyre building dams designed to filter the water and prevent further mudslides and finally theres relief all round as the water starts to drain away. The gun in the desert were you screaming movie the sound of water flowing is really music to my ears sunday and makes me happy where you are about iraq because it means weve got control of the floods for now at least one who would know where you utility. We dont know how long it will last time news are quite good. But its too late to save the harvest what the farmers really need is a more permanent solution that hoping and praying for a change. Weve got another snack for you and this time its from england its fast food many brits confident enough. For the english city of oxford is best known for its elite university its one of the oldest in the world and has just under 24000 students.

The ruins of the ancient city of Matthew Picchu lie in the peruvian andes the site is a tourist magnet but many wouldnt manage the journey without the help of portions which these days may very well be women.

Theyve broken into a male dominated world by becoming the 1st female porters in peru with the help of a one man. Boss also comes from a rural area so hes aware that women arent toys on an equal footing with men thats why he lets us work in the terrorism industry. After setting up the turns the women help the chef they barely take a break. The tourists get only the best treatment at this High Altitude theyre served a nutritious 4 course dinner including fresh trout served with a salad. The next morning the tourists set out for the next campsite while the porters stayed behind to pack everything up luggage tents and cooking gear its a tough job but it provides them and then calm and allows them more independence from the man. In. The mountain truck to much you picchu takes 3 days during that time the porters children are being looked after back home by their grandparents as 27 year old malini explains. That in the broader picture we stayed home and all we could do with salvage doubles which is hardly anything but now thanks to this opportunity where anything much more. And thats good and its also benefiting our children. To see. The tourists struggle with the lack of oxygen up here in the mountains this old ink and path rises to an altitude of 3 and a half 1000 meters. Having grown up here giora and knowing me are used to it so they usually overtake the visitors. And they get far ahead of them in no time at all that allows them to set up the tents in advance and have them ready before the group arrives. The temperatures up here are close to freezing but that doesnt seem to bother the porters. Leandro from argentina is happy to have managed the 1st stage. Unbelievable you give your all and the porters march right past you all the same right now let me know what its like to be in the evening the porters are introduced. The mountain guide explains that theyre now consciously hiring more women to promote greater equality. Here malini earns 90 euros a week which is not a bad wage for the peruvian andes. In the morning its minus 3 degrees celsius the next part will be the most difficult leg of the hike ascending to the pass at 4650 metres. Daughter korea is travelling this route for the 1st time even though its hard work shes very proud to have gotten this job. If we end up coming out of yourself thats.

Im only now as a porter my washing up after lunch money explains just how much things have changed in her generation and.
