And in paris we hear about how forced sterilization has shattered the lives of hundreds of thousands of women. Contraceptives come in all kinds of shapes and sizes but the most common method of all is sterilization this involves undergoing a procedure to be made in first tile. According to a two thousand and fifteen study nineteen percent of all women in the world was sterilized most of them in developing countries in india the number was thought to be thirty nine percent thats all well and good as long as the women chose the option for themselves but shockingly that tends to be the exception rather than the rule around twenty years ago in an effort to tackle poverty the peruvian government had more than three hundred thousand women forcibly sterilized the results lifelong pain and suffering. Its the start of another day. Booties and uga as the forty eight year old makes breakfast for her husband daughter and grandchild she struggles with pain in her knees her hips and her back. Its been the same every day for the past twenty years ever since she was sterilised in an operation performed against her will. That i dont wasnt tied to the bed and my legs to. Press my head against the mattress and injected me with an anesthetic. I mean while they carried on talking to me i lost consciousness although not completely oh look a mess that i look at i could feel when there was sewing the other after the operation and those that i thought that meant that it was very painful. Only in. Twenty years ago forced sterilizations were a widespread practice here in the groovy undies the area is poor and largely dependent on agriculture. Since the operation routine has been unable to work in the fields without pain as a result shes rarely able to help her family. Experience is no isolated case up to three hundred thousand indigenous peruvian women are thought to have been forcibly sterilized today shes meeting with other local women who are willing to speak out about their experiences. The doctor said you already have four children how many more do you want get yourself sterilized otherwise youre no different from a dog or a pig in the us then the man to mention. Router has managed to persuade the women to open up about the problems theyre experiencing. Since the sterilization everything hurts from my knees right up to the scar which got infected. For years the forced procedures were to boost subjects here in this Traditional Community but more and more women are no longer willing to keep quiet about the problems and the impact on their families. My husband wanted to beat me right there in front of the nurse he cried out what are you doing here. He thought i was there voluntarily. I dont even want to think about how fate dealt me such a hand. Theres not the sense that a life with my husband has never been the same. It was usually nurses and Police Officers who came into the villages and took the catch of our women away they were brought to this local Health Center they say the same doctor who sterilize them washington ortiz is still working here twenty years later but were unable to find him either here or in the private clinic next door where hes also set to work. We get turned away and are written requests for an interview go unanswered. A short while later takes us to see a woman who has had an especially rough time serafin with so heavily and he said her eyes that she was initially thought to be dead. My family was told that someone in the mortuary had been resuscitated and was calling for them and i was dead but i was fortunate enough to come back to life. Thats terrible experience took place here at the old battle array in a hospital in ca school. A place meant to be dedicated to preserving life we meet a nurse whos willing to talk to us about what happened libya pinout is says the sterilizations were carried out systematically on the orders of the peruvian government where i would have these but it was a directive from the Health Ministry says so hospitals like us were required to carry out the procedures. That. The directive applied here in cusco and in many other terms with the majority indigenous population libya tells us it was a campaign directed against the indigenous catch was that when i met they had to fulfill a monthly quota you know otherwise wed have been fired as it was so extreme that nurses were even getting themselves sterilized to meet the quota. And if you gave the orders we asked. The Health Ministry in lima it came from the government of president fujimori of people. Throughout the one nine hundred ninety s. Peru was governed by Alberto Fujimori who was later jailed for human rights abuses his Family Planning program was officially aimed at fighting poverty but not only were most of the sterilizations carried out without the womens consent the program was also deeply racist targeting only the indigenous minority. Now protests are growing more and more people say its time for justice to finally be served. Looters and he go has suffered for twenty years from complications linked to the operation but to this day shes never received any compensation. But i think the overall overall fairly well my husband and i can no longer be happy because the small amount of money that we earn always has to be our last formal education so. I dont but also i cant work in the fields anymore thats all just so horrible. A bitter fate shared by many of the women here high up in the andes. And to this day the peruvian state refuses to accept responsibility for the grave injustice suffered here.

What more could tourists on safari wish for than to see wild animals in their natural habitat sadly however widespread poaching is threatening some species with extinction. One African Elephant is killed every fifteen minutes on average because their tasks are worth big bucks that adds up to thirty five thousand grey giants every year but the most sought after animal is the pangolin scaly anteater a shy creature thats rosendahl planet for millenia up to one hundred thousand of them are killed every year theyre found in southern asia or in Subsaharan Africa and Animal Rights activists in south africa are trying to save as many as they can. Into legs have their own protective armor and require armed guards. One on watch every time animal keepers take the pangolin out for a while. And thats because theres a high risk. Being abducted her scales with fifteen thousand euros on the black market. Was just a juvenile when she was rescued from poachers. So we have many security measures in place which we dont make known to the public so security helps us and the unpredictability of rehab of penguins we constantly changing socks and. Some days theyre well not well so theres no set pattern as to when we are out in the bush or where were going. Sometimes police seize illegally trafficked pangolin scales like here in malaysia hundreds of pangolins died to fill the contents of these sacks many believe the scales can help against cancer or promote a better sex life but theyre actually made of the same substance as fingernails. Pangolin meats is also highly sought after in parts of africa and china a bowl of soup served with a baby penguin console three thousand euro. The animals that naturally rotten century were all rescued from the hands of poachers some of the penguins need medical help when they arrive because they havent eaten in weeks poachers dont kill penguins immediately preferring to trade life specimens. Some animals are still so young that Natalie Rogers has to feed them milk from a syringe. Or a needs to gain weight to every day she gets put on the scales today shes four point eight kilos since she arrived at the end of century five months ago shes gained about a kilo. One more and she can be released. Theres still so much still to learn on them. On her white that she arrived at they were usually still be in the mothers territory not dependent but still within the mothers territory before they became efficient enough to find their own food and find their own territory. What happened to. It team of rangers instead a case it specifically to tracking down the poachers Glen Thompson is in charge of the group he shows us and tracks but he says tracks left by penguins are hard to find in the bush over the course of many years observing animals in the liles he and his colleagues have only ever seen one penguin if you look at the bottom of it theyve got a very similar to an elephant so its like very soft theyve got the lines in it and you walk in there to back feet so most of the time to find the sign of the penguin is when its walking the tail leave marks in the road like this as a team and goes on and its extremely difficult to see this work. Glen thompson and his rangers know how rhino poachers hunt but they can only guess how illegal hunters tracked down the hidden penguins probably suggest that the problem using dogs. During the day. Around the bar is during the day so we suspect its a lot of dog poaching i mean if they saw it theyd pick it up. Thompson and his team have repeatedly confiscated illegal goods and large animals theyve also arrested a number of coaches although theyve probably caught only a fraction of the criminal gangs that operate here. The rangers are dependent on tips from local residents so well get information that someone in the village wanted and soon as we get that information and we can verify there is a lot of penguin well set up a sting operation with a c. P. S. And then well go in and go effect the race collect the penguin and then take it for medical treatment and medical assessment. These coaches stop to refuel their car the pangolin was still alive and lying in the cargo area the rangers had received a tip from a witness. A rescue mission like this is what saved and gave her new temporary home. Now she can at least go for walks back in the bush at the moment still accompanied by her own personal bodyguard. Protecting our planets wildlife and climate requires a lot of dedication. Series testifies to that this week we take a look at the effects of slash and burn agriculture a method practiced by up to five hundred million small holders worldwide and one with devastating consequences for the environment. Travelled to billys to meet with activists in the tornado region who are promoting more environmentally friendly alternatives. April and may are the hottest months of the year in belize. Its a time when many farmers set fire to their land a tradition that dates back to ancient times. And it destroys biodiversity the soil destroyed crops community. Its just so destructive its not. Slash and burn the fires actually make the fertile for a short time because plant remains fall to the ground and mix with the otherwise barren soil but the fires also release huge amounts of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. Weve come to toledo in the south of belize the district is home to the indigenous kids who trace their roots back to the ancient maya. Theyve kept many of their forefathers traditions including slash and burn agriculture in the past it was more sustainable because farmers only cultivated enough land to feed their families my ancestors. Knew what it was. They knew that they were. Sure. We start making money. So we sacrifice all of those things like nature and unsustainability to make money gustavo to cain that works for the Nonprofit Organization jack the ngo is working with local farmers to introduce methods that are more sustainable for our modern times. Another problem with the fires is that they often get out of control like this one which has spread to a neighboring field. Our goal was not eliminate fires completely because it is a part of the culture on the part of the tradition what we would want is to put in place the best practices to ensure that we partake biodiversity farms because fires do also a freshman at a pharmacy because when a fire escapes so you have no control over it you can damage communities and peoples lives so alternative options are needed gustavo like a man and his ngo are pursuing a number of different strategies including cocoa farming in a protected forest area which jack jay has the right to use smallholder farmers are being told how to grow organic cocoa that gives them an income without having to damage the forest. Because the cocoa plants actually need the shade of the other trees in order to grow properly. Here in reserve yesterday. For example. Use of. Chemicals you. Use a fire is is is controlled in another part of the forest outside the protected reserve there are plans to start growing corn and beans instead of slash and burn agriculture even got trees are making the ground here for tile from orlando cool planted them three years ago the tops of the trees now form a canopy overhead and the leaves and seeds that will fall into the ground have created a nitrogen rich soil as fertile as after a fire you can even find the mulch blocks fee which we had restored but. It is more for it as you can see with help from jack jay he plans to sow the first maize seeds in a few weeks but first hell cut off the tops of the trees to allow more light for the plants the trees will grow back again later when he used to slash and burn the land would lie waste for years after the harvest and now wildlife is starting to return. First i dont even see anymore birds are all and even rabbits and even there there was a visit thirty i did there was a deer here. Coming buck closer because if i was going to do burning all this fire going to chase some which. Ones are afraid of fire so they got the wrong. Gustavo decay nice hoping to convince more farmers of the benefits of the Sustainable Farming methods he says its obvious that things need to change here another piece of forest has just been burned to the ground. But. Of course i do feel saddened when i look at it but ill saw feel proud because it shows that if i dont do it and if my organization dont doesnt do it if my colleagues on good then who is going to do it so it gives me a sense of pride for more that we are doing the right thing. Whats the secret to a successful marriage. How to married couples remain happy together well into old age. Its not always easy. Especially for couples whose faith prohibits them from living together before the wedding in these cases premarital counseling can be worth its weight in gold. In the two can after matter getting married and theyve bought this apartment but theyve no plans to live in it yet. To come after measure strict muslims and that means they cant live together before being married theyll move in after the wedding if its ready by them right now theres still plenty to do.

Its also known as the fact white house as its responsible for drafting religious edicts as well the couple is interested to see what the classes will be like at the very conservative situation. So on and shake ahmar is something of a star among the clerics here todays giving advice to young people who want to marry with a mixture of the ology knowledge of human nature and a good dose of humor. A night of ourselves but i have a question. Outside of the how who is more able to deal with suffering a man or a woman maybe want to raise your hand if you think its a man. If. Only the men are raising their hands not a single woman not. So much fun at the venerable fatwah house is unusual a theologian who not only preaches but gives advice without talking down to people and he even hands over to a woman to a non theologian russia is a couples therapist incorporating psychology at this official center for religious instruction is an unusual approach for the muslim world. Calkins what i didnt know is that happiness is a decision if i want to hurt me i have to make a decision and accept the challenges of. The courses are also designed to help couples figure out if theyre even well matched. That led some to no longer want to get married. But today shake ammar is on his way to visit a couple for whom it worked out. Mahmoud was in shake marriage counseling class with his now wife ameena. Theyve been married for nine months now and they have a small farm together. Or wants to know what they thought was the main thing they learned in his class. And i know that her. I was in the valiant of. Their league and i learned in the class that i cant just assume certain things why is a good for example that the man will be dominant and the woman us to be submissive isnt. About oppression instead its more about understanding had his mother failed. To accept that the other person has a different opinion and thinks differently makes life easier. But shake armors approach doesnt go over well with everyone an attitude of acceptance towards those who think differently whether women christians or foreigners many orthodox muslim see this as a betrayal of islam but the shaykh says the fatwa house tries to keep an open mind even when it comes to science that was unthinkable for a long time. Sociology and psychology are deeply rooted in religion and in religion itself there are three things that are important you have to understand the text understand the religious values and know how to apply them in the real world. Without the sciences we cant grasp reality or apply religion to reality.

There are two sides to married life and its good that were dealing with both the religious and the secular and i thought it would be all about religion which im very interested in because in my view thats more important but i think its good that they brought the two topics together the particles that are as they prepare for married life took on ahmed are learning that its all a matter of finding the right balance thanks surprisingly to cairos normally very conservative fatwa house.
