They fought hard for more rights and theyre not about to give them up. In december 28 teen protests erupted in sudan the spark was the countrys worsening economy but soon demonstrators began to demand the removal of longtime president omar al bashir. Women were on the front lines of the protests and for good reason for years theyve been denied fundamental human rights. Alba shares ouster open the floodgates of change sudanese women gained new freedoms and could lead more selfdetermined lives at least in the big cities. But theres still more work to be done and the brave women who are at the forefront of the revolution arent giving up. By an early is a 21 year old medical student in khartoum in late 2018 she joined the crowds in the streets protesting against the regime thats when she decided to take up thai boxing as a form of selfdefense. Sit him sit down and then sit down is not a safe place for women. And women get accosted and abused what i want to be able to hit back and defend myself on that you had to get a selfdefense. Trainer mohammed and more near 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 they 1st started it was common in legal actually for a male trainer to teach females in general are heinous and on 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 wear the driving force behind the protest movement and to this day basing 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. One year on the guardians of the revolution continue to fight for their rights. To show solidarity with women in need. To use of gun meal is a psychologist who devotes herself to female emancipation. I. Think for the fact that now in the Coronavirus Crisis were helping tea sellers cleaners and other women who are an urgent need of help. The government isnt doing anything for them. When i kind of. The group gather donations and buy food disinfectant and protective clothing they distribute the items to hospitals and to women in poor neighborhoods who have lost their jobs because of the pandemic and have been left with nothing. This volunteer work is also a way to keep the ideals of the revolution alive. Has had to fight with her family for her independence her parents work abroad and she lives with her grandfather when she wanted to go to the United Arab Emirates for a thai boxing competition he said no without his permission she could not go. But i was against it because its incompatible with the traditions of our country. This is all new for us. She is so small. They hit it in the end she relented by an early went and won bronze now her grandfather is very proud of her. Use of the gun neil and her 3 daughters enjoy their new one freedoms riding a bike and wearing trousers thats all new for women here they werent allowed to exercise out of doors until recently. That they love to ride their bikes and go roller skating other girls say its too dangerous but mine like it this generation is becoming more courageous and maybe my girls get it from me right when were standing right here 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. The use of camille would not let her daughters be mutilated in this way. If we are all just imagine a young child who doesnt know whats going on and feels terrible pain whenever she your image is whenever she moves but it imposes such limitations on playing and running its shutting. The fight for equal rights is arduous and wont be won overnight by and i live for one is a fighter who wont give up. Says 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. Mo. Violence 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 maybe 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 hate her and cut her with a knife. Journey installed a surveillance camera then one day he tried to strangle her. Returning morning i was used to being pushed around punched and hit my 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 by 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 and. This is where maria dippin your 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 come for 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 inadequate. To have all that i was outraged after the 1st verdict he was found guilty but he appealed and did not have to go to jail at that i mean my i 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 argue in brazil men dominate society. Sure of machismo has developed over time. Though courts go easy on men that machos receive light sentences. As. Mary at the opinion kept on fighting she called on parliament to increase the penalties for gender based violence against women a new and stricter law was finally passed and it bears her name. 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. To put in jail. Whats more thanks to the activism of maria the opinion of a 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 caused by you know at least once a week. She really days 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 yesterday alone his. Gone off. That means he had his electric Concord Monitor too close less than 200 meters away hes even set off a man on my mother. And that was yeah. He was a flash. The government in the capital brasilia certainly isnt doing much. The far right president show you both some out of as just 2 women in his cabinet and womens rights are anything but a priority for him funding has been cut the achievements of to vist such as maria the opinion face being undone at the end the women policies of the government make many women lawmakers furious im with you everything the only all the measures designed to combat violence against women including women shelters are at risk why somebody who was with the funding slashed the few shelters we have will probably have to close soon. Get out beyond its a disgrace for brazil i want a bit of an eye view mary or the opinion i was recently declared an honorary citizen of sao paolo courage and activism are widely respected but the battle is far from won. 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. So whenever 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 minutes 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 peninsula and rushes to ignore. The herd as are members of the nets people who have traditionally led nomadic lives. They 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 nets people for many years. Farmers living in the main problem is the condition of their herds because theyre different from varying death and their future means their Good Condition so theyre here. That future is anything but secure the arctic has been warming at about twice the rate of the planet as a whole. For the next herders its becoming more and more difficult to travel their traditional roots. 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 the threatening situation for all the northern friend a 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. 2 and a half 1000 kilometers to the east india the capital of the republic of south asia also known as yakutia. Is on his way to the institute for biological problems of the cryo litters and thats the region where permafrost prevails hes a biologist and studies wild reindeer whose numbers are declining. The head of the institute. Is worried. I dont yet have them sign me. In the cross my ask region there used to be more than a 1000000 reindeer. But theres not the latest count. There are just 3 or 400000. 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 do it. You can hear them i mean. 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. But obviously. The team have to be patient theyre watching out for any reindeer swimming across the river. When they spot one they have to act fast. Mark on them eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat. Eat 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. And when they take the animals portrait for the database and let him go. Theyve attached such devices to more than 40 wild ranges so far. The data have already revealed that migration patterns are changing. The rain to head north to cooler summer 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 with wild 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 or 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 aim to continue their trek south to their 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.
