Trainer mohammed and lanier promotes gender equality in 2018 he opened the doors of his Martial Arts Center to women a bold move in a traditionally minded muslim and male dominated society until recently he and his female students could have been lashed for this. In the beginning when it 1st started it was coming in legal actually for a male trainer to teach females in general humans without so we kind of had to be at the beginning a little bit on the cover you know keep our doors closed. Change has come to sudan women have left behind their traditional roles at home they go out they work they serve in the government women were the driving force behind the protest movement and to this day they sing protest songs. That. A group of women from many walks of life including doctors engineers musicians and psychologists have joined forces to make sure progress will not be undone they call themselves the guardians of the revolution and continue to fight the establishment. Months of mass protests contributed to the ouster of longtime ruler omar bashir in april 29th the military then try to quell protests a crackdown in june killed and wounded many demonstrators but the protests continued until a Transitional Government made up of Army Officers and opposition leaders was formed.

And issue close to the heart of womens rights campaigners is female genital mutilation they are pleased that it has now been outlawed most women in sudan have been subjected to the dangerous and debilitating procedure. Of camille would not let her daughters be mutilated in this way. Just imagine a young child who doesnt know whats going on and feels terrible pain whenever she your unaids whenever she moves rigid but it imposes such limitations on playing and running its shouting. The fight for equal rights is arduous and wont be won overnight by and live for one is a fighter who wont give up. Said it because we want equality and nothing less that men should stop saying im crazy because i box it should be considered totally normal like men playing football and it would have. The pace of change in sudan right now is swift confident and independent minded women would make sure equality and freedom. Prevail. Linemans against women is a worldwide problem and in many countries women have few if any ways to defend themselves. According to the United Nations 243000000 women and girls experienced sexual or physical violence by an intimate partner over the span of one year. Latin america is especially dangerous the w. H. O. Says that more than a 3rd of all women there have experienced violence at the hands of their partners. The problem is particularly acute in brazil. The most dangerous place for women there is their own home and the isolation brought on by the corona virus has also given rise to a shadow epidemic of Domestic Violence. The husband beats up his wife at home. This video may be 2 years old but its still very upsetting to the victim christianity cut by your and her mother. My son in the church at the time i still hate my husband might change we dont even married for 4 months i had dreams he was the man of my life i called him my prince. It was wonderful until we got married. But then the violence of the ground. And he destroyed our family. And i. Just journeys then husband it was a wealthy and influential diplomat when they argued he would start to hit her and cut her with a knife. His journey installed a surveillance camera then one day he tried to strangle her. Retirement morning i was used to being pushed around punched in the head. When he choked me with a telephone cable that was. Its terrifying if you think you know maybe the most horrible thing thats ever happened to me. And i was rushed pride in my minds eye it was like a movie. I thought of my childhood or my parents washing. And then i knew i had to end the relationship thankfully i had the video as evidence but you see. Violence against women is a growing problem in brazil every 7 hours on average a woman is murdered because of her gender and the rate of femicide is rising the coronavirus lockdown has only made it worse the state of seattle is no exception. This is where maria dippin year lives shes at the forefront of the fight against gender based violence in brazil she was paralyzed when her then husband a shorter one night in 1903. But imagine. He wanted to cover up his crime to school i was sleeping when i heard a loud bang i wanted to move but i couldnt tell my thought he had killed me. With the help of her daughters she sought to have him brought to justice she was also among the 1st women in brazil to go public with the story of Domestic Violence but it was a struggle and the outcome in adequate. To have all that i was outraged after the 1st verdict she was found guilty but he appealed and did not have to go to jail but i my eye withdrew and wrote a book about what had happened. And about the contradictions in our legal system when the perpetrators are men. For the last quarter but i just want brazil men dominate society. Also gonchar of machismo has developed over time. Chords go easy on men machos receive light sentences. As ink. Maria they pin your kept on fighting she called on parliament to increase the penalties for gender based violence against women a new stricter law was finally passed and it bears her name but. You see that right means the judiciary can now take much more Decisive Action back then my former husband only spent 2 years in prison now under the new mary other penya law the term would be much longer attempted femicide warrants a tough penalty. But as who might go to prison. Whats more thanks to the activism of mary or the opinion the new kind of police unit has been established named after her especially to deal with Domestic Violence against women it was set up 8 years ago. The patrol comes by to check on christianity comes by you know at least once a week. She really does to go out nowadays because shes frightened of her former husband. The officers want to evaluate the risk he poses. For us and we are concerned with how the women are feeling and the dangers they face for me this is all very new and interesting. Maria de pena has changed me as a human being and as a man with them. Christianity still gets threats from her exhusband he was sentenced to 3 years house arrest but is nonetheless allowed to go out she has an Electronic Device to warn her if hes nearby. Not body after the alarm has. Going off. That means he had his electric Concord Monitor to close less than 200 meters away hes even set off a man on my mother look im doing. And what you. Will see fashions. The government in the capital brasilia certainly isnt doing much. The far right president ial year bosun out of has just 2 women in his cabinet and womens rights are anything but a priority for him funding has been cut the achievements of davis such as maria the opinion face being undone the anti women policies of the government make many women lawmakers furious i am with you everything the only control measures designed to combat violence against women including womens shelters are at risk was comforting it was with the funding slashed the few shelters we have will probably have to close soon i am going to get out because its a disgrace for brazil and i want my boy a bit of an eye view maria the opinion i was recently declared an honorary citizen of sao paolo carriage and activism are widely respected but the battle is far from won. My our society is still very sexist to change that we have to invest above all in education but this government is not doing that. Christianity kind of by your hopes the nightmare will end one day. And that her ex will leave her in peace. Or. If women such as maria depend you have not spoken out i might never have found the strength to report my husband and he would never have been sentenced to 3 years house arrest and. Despite the courage many women display gender based violence remains a massive problem in brazil. 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. In our global ideas series we focus on the growing impact of Climate Change this week we turn to siberia where record temperatures of nearly 40 degree celsius have helped fuel massive wildfires. Our next report takes us to russia alone limits region where a camera crew spent several months documenting the profound impact of global heating on the areas people and wildlife even in the depths of winter. Every autumn herds of reindeer are driven down the young peninsula in russias optic north. As a members of the net people who have traditionally led nomadic lives. To cross the frozen river which is several kilometers wide at this point at night and with great caution. Climate change is making the ice thinner by the nights when its colder theres less risk of it breaking. This Group Reaches the far shore at daybreak. Theyre accompanied by anthropologist Alexander Volkova whos been studying the life and customs of the net people for many years for American Families living in the main problem is the condition of their parents because theyre different from varying death and their future means Good Condition of their hair. That future is anything but secure the arctic has been warming at about twice the rate of the planet as a home. For the next herders its becoming more and more difficult to travel their traditional routes. Ice forms on the rivers ever later in the season forcing the families and herds to wait. And lots of families have no way out there is no possibility for them to move threatening situation for all the northern fringe of caring way of life so to say. The reindeer need to keep moving in any one spot theres not much to eat and they would quickly starve to death so the herders need to move with them. To one half 1000 kilometers to the east india could see the capital of the republic of south asia also known as yakutia killin is on his way to the institute for biological problems of the cryo little zone thats the region where permafrost prevails hes a biologist and studies wild reindeer whose numbers are declining. The head of the institute in a can is worried. I dont know. If youre in the cross and i ask region used to be more than a 1000000 reindeer. But. Thats not the latest count that there were just 3 or 4000048 little give me another one thats led us to pay special attention to the problem but if. We want to know whats happening to our reindeer populations but. When you thought it. Was a bonus for you you can see that many of. The 2 biologists say Climate Change but also human interventions are behind the steep decline in numbers one growing problem is competition between wild reindeer and herded reindeer. Killing is on an expedition on the menu river which cuts through one of the main routes of migrating wild reindeer. In order to find out more about their migration patterns he wants to attach transmitter collars to as many specimens as he can catch. The devices have been adapted to the conditions here in your cooties. Theyre waterproof. And they can withstand temperatures of minus 40 to minus 50 degrees celsius. For. The team have to be patient that watching out for any reindeer swimming across the river. When they spot one they have to act fast. Put in place. That it. Might not believe that he can believe. All of this young male probably weighs more than 130 kilograms. The procedure can be dangerous for the man and is probably a bit of a shock for the reindeer. The transmitter is designed to fall off once the battery is empty. But. When they take the animals portrait for the database and let him go. Theyve attached such devices to more than 40 wild reindeer so far the data have already revealed that migration patterns are changing. The reindeer head north to cooler some of pastors earlier in the season every year and in the winter they had deeper into the more southerly forests to find enough to eat and thats where the competition with domesticated ones is growing. You spoke of it world reindeer ive always been seen as rivals of domesticated hurts its impossible to breed them where there are lots of wild ones where there are both populations herding is hard domesticated reindeer often run away and join the wild ones and they compete for grazing. Food is becoming scarce even in the vast and undeveloped far north of russia. Based on data from the tracking devices strategies to be developed to mitigate Competition Among the diverse populations to benefit all of them. But the changing climatic conditions are also a challenge in particular the rising temperatures. The herd of families and their reindeer continue their trek south to that Winter Quarters in the forests they still have a long way to go. As conditions change the risks they face are changing too and the pressure to adapt is mounting. The very future of their way of life is at stake. Fighting for a better future. Demanding justice. Taking their lives into their own hands. Entrepreneurs bloggers human rights activists many of these women rarely stand in the spotlight but they move our world. Women who make a difference in our impact series. Of that is not is not just did it let it simulating the mind but its all still very powerful in a way that its breaking so many bad. And kids that are allowed to be kids again just plain simple childhood. And i dont want profit in the. Bank. Probably the right to believe. I just believe that working with these kids in giving them what they. Truly needed its not dissolved he truly needed this again shit in. The world is such a bad place and its filled with such bad elements and you know why is somebody a criminal and all of that in this world but if you trace it back it always goes back to their childhood. With kindness and love and empathy i think we can relieve the change the way this whole world functions. Devotedly what is right to play whats meant to have a being a child whos never had all these things of any stool. And because it has for many other problems. And a huge lever then i mean who would talk about leaving a child whos going on the.
