For 9 years syria has been embroiled in war 9 years of fighting and suffering and with more than a dozen different groups and countries involved all following their own interests there seems little hope of peace its no longer even clear exactly who is fighting whom but what is. Its clear is that people are dying as many as 400000 have lost their lives since the war started nearly 12000000 people have been displaced from their homes the economy is in ruins with g. D. P. Just a 3rd of its prewar level skilled workers are in high demand and that includes women. This remains career is still a very unusual one in syria she repairs the connections on high tension power cables. A woman doing this would have been unthinkable before the war. I 1st worked in the office and never went out but with the new situation the war and the crisis i wanted to go out into the field like the men to share the work that i wanted to prove that a woman can do the job as well as a man. That. Gender equality is not the norm in rural syria in regions like the conservative west women have very little say. Except in those dreams family that is. Here the daughters play soccer and with their brothers of course theyre growing up as equals. Their mother wouldnt have it any other way. His whole. Serene helps her children with their homework she wants her daughters to also have good jobs their opportunities nowadays women are in demand everywhere else really is a qualified electrician. Was an office in red willow its mystery 3 courses of all the young men were drafted into the military 3 quarters of them went to the syrian army ive been married for 10 years to begin with i was only a housewife then their advertised jobs at the Electricity Company and i applied. But. This rain is making her way to the next broken electricity pylon her husband works in the Financial Sector he didnt have to join the army because he isnt a filmi son. They live in the province of homs like so much of the country it has been devastated by the war reconstruction is an enormous challenge. Millions of men either fled or were killed others are still in the army or militias. Without women in the workforce syria would collapse thousands of power pylons have been destroyed and theres no end of work for nasreen and her colleagues and no end of criticism either. For religious conservatives its scandalous to see women in tight trousers climbing poles. Almost. Thank god i was able to get over this social stigma that says women cant know we can a woman is as good as a man we can help them i hope we have a come the idea that women can only do office work and then we have to get out and deal with reality that i did not write experience. Theres Something Special out here in the countryside. The family going out for supper after a long days work. For nothing its important that her daughters learn to ignore conservative bigotry. I never. Im proud of my mom she works at home and outside she has a great and difficult job. You know because im the one who encouraged my wife the most for us and then and women are equal at work and elsewhere. No serene worries about what will happen after the war when the men come home from the army and want to go back to normal life will they turn back the clock on the screen and other working women. Then no one can make and when we started there were just one or 2 of us but now there are 20 women at the Power Company that all work outdoors its a lovely experience there are problems but i think our numbers will grow. As a. Nose ring says womens time has come theyre irreplaceable when it comes to reconstruction there is more than enough for everyone to do after 9 years of war in syria. Repression and discrimination are part of life for many women around the world on our new Facebook Channel d. W. Women youll find stories about those taking a stand and inspiring others to do the same d. W. Women gives a voice to the women of our world. And now we head to mexico a country deemed to be one of the worlds most dangerous last year in mexico recorded 36000 murders and 60000 missing people most of the violence is linked to drug cartels but it can also devastate the lives of those trying to be a force for good 2019 sore 23 environmental activists killed their efforts to protect the countrys plant and animal life got in the way of those whose priority is making a profit. Model gomez takes care of his older brothers grave. For mayor of gomez was an environmental activist he disappeared on january the 13th and was later found dead. He was our pillar of strength he always encouraged and supported us my brother was the greatest. I dont think you can ever get over such a loss he will always remain my heart and i would always look up to him. Gomes was devoted to the cause of monaco butterflies. Many members of one subspecies migrate 5000 kilometers from east to north america to this corner of the mexican state of michoacan where they spend the winter they always manage to find the same area of lush forest across generations.

A model had the dismal task of identifying the corpse. But to be honest i felt fear and anguish i was nervous at the thought that it could be my brother i prayed silently please let it not be him after searching for 16 days i didnt want to find him you dead. 16 days of uncertainty had also been agonizing for his wife and their 4 children. But they would decide themselves they cry they called for their father. For one week it was painful and frightening. I wanted to cry oh. They did that where are you if path. Public prosecutors have so far failed to identify any suspects all likely motive while meadows wife rebecca is certain that it was not an accident she thinks his Environmental Activism made him enemies and that he was mad at conservationists fear others will now be too scared to get involved in protecting the forests and the butterflies. Everything that reason was timber of personal vendetta avocadoes its better to know what happened than live with the uncertainty.
