A life of discrimination and poverty but that starting to change. But first we go to the United States where the less privileged are increasingly speaking up for their rights. In. Mass protests in the u. S. In january two thousand and seventeen millions of women hit the streets calling for their rights and voicing their anger over Donald Trumps election victory in march two thousand and eighteen hundreds of thousands of students called for changes to u. S. Weapon lolas now a new movement is giving the countrys struggling citizens a voice in the u. S. One hundred forty two Million People are considered income and all of them forty million live below the poverty line. No no there are no pastors listing your house and William Barber are leading the campaign. Now thousands are heeding their call for civil disobedience im. Sorry. For her. When we will be our wonder with all the people who are poor sick or disenfranchised are determined to have their voices heard. Theres a higher ridge in our society and were willing to. Ignore the red lights of the Current System and. Its sunday evening in the heart of washington the people here are warming up for the mass rally many of come a long way from michigan alabama even alaska. The campaign is financed with donations otherwise many couldnt afford the journey this country is a mess this is not a great country we have over one hundred forty Million People that are in poverty. And. The original Poor Peoples Campaign was launched by dr Martin Luther king in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight according to lose thier how hours since then the gap between rich and poor has grown she believes that with donald trump as president the situation is only growing worse and she insists that something must be done. Take away our poverty not our children your ear. Starts. To spend twenty years working with grassroots antipoverty groups she had long wanted to launch a campaign. If we do about hear about the poor its to have you know race bait people its divide people its to blame for the problems that everyones having and its to say that that poor people are lazy crazy and under starving when you know again eighty percent of americans at some point in our lives will experience hardship so you know are all of us lazy crazy and good for nothing. The next morning on capitol hill. And her group want to Pressure Congress to finally take action there demanding higher minimum wages Health Insurance for all and affordable housing. Well over the initiators of the campaign say they wont get anywhere unless they shake up the nation on the line to lug all of their demonstrations include personal stories like that of cali greer five years ago her daughter died of cancer kelly greer says her daughters treatment was delayed because she wasnt insured and then it was too late. I was. That. They said no that you. This is a fact. And magnets. Break this country was hard enough so it can be put together. The personal stories are the most moving and unsettling moments. Its happening all the time and with the site with disposable people when visible people and the need for those people to come out and add their voice in this campaign and you know theyre willing to mind so that the clinton echo in this in this place so that it wakes these people support. The Campaign Takes to the streets week after week hoping to shock and galvanize people into action was. That Young Campbell you will be quite so nowhere professor sevier warning here peaceful but determined and well organized you know that somebody. Was. Committed to a. Level or i. Loathe the demonstrators no theyre likely to be confronted by police. We are low. Being in a time where real change is absolutely needed and so i think the fact that thirty five states and washington d. C. People are willing week after week to put themselves out there and to risk arrest. Shows the kind of urgency of now. Every week hundred charge of change and every week there were new headlines this the or harris says too many are suffering and the time is ripe for a mass movement. That. Around a billion people worldwide have a physical or mental disability thats fifteen percent of the worlds population eighty percent live in developing countries and many experienced severe social disadvantages people with disabilities are less likely to finish school and often end up on employees that means theyre more likely to live in poverty than people without disabilities down syndrome affects around six Million People worldwide. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder which in most cases is caused by trisomy twenty one thats when a baby has three copies of chromosome twenty one. She is born with mental and physical disability of varying degrees but has one dynamic Sister Company in berlin proves people with down syndrome can indeed have many talents. I think four months of moby dick at the romber zomba theatre in berlin actors with and without down syndrome bringing Herman Melvilles novel to the stage it deals with death insanity and elusive white whale. Is the theaters director his brother moritz who has down syndrome is among. The stars of the theater which was founded in one nine hundred ninety. Down syndrome is a congenital condition which comes with varying degrees of physical and cognitive effects. The main point is that people with down syndrome have their own forms of artistic expression and the way they convey a character is different from the way i might do it and they have different timing and different ideas. And as i might use language to convey something well actors with a disability do it with movement and i think. What begins as an ordinary whaling expedition hearings into a fatal quest for. Us to pull has been with the group since twenty fifteen. Over. Acting is a strength thats very important to people with down syndrome. There are people in the theater that have difficulty speaking and are speech impaired. They can only communicate by acting it out. In germany there are few opportunities for people with down syndrome to live like other young adults there arent many shared living options. You know simple was lucky and then. Im the type of person who reaches out to people. Enjoy talking doing things with them. Im a very sociable person who likes writing poetry. Im also interested in acting and art. We definitely have to fight to make it clear that not everybody is the same. Otherwise there wont be any diversity we also have rights. I. Owe. Ramos dumba has been bringing together people with and without disabilities for twenty seven years. As with moby dick many of their productions include actors from other ensembles. Stuff that. I figured id drop by and watch a rehearsal in the morning i watched and in the afternoon i joined in time for. What really drew me in was the amazing energy. The infields unmediated free of self reflection is when more like the different minds. For the dance and acrobatic scenes in moby dick the theatre brought into kayaker first in spain they say they can learn quite a lot from their colleagues with disabilities. If you know how sophie entered but we caught like we had so many like. I can not do this because its like im like theyre like more free they feel so much freedom yeah and its really like it gives you the freedom of training seeing or getting to be more deeper into some seems like its much easier actually but yeah so professional. The theatre has gained International Acclaim a Japanese Television network is filming a documentary about. You. We see ourselves as an ensemble of the future as a city theater of the future we bring in other kinds of people the minority becomes the majority. The path to a more Inclusive Society as a long one. Is staying the course. You have. This week on global ideas where often uphold the mountainous country is home to three and a half Million Dollar members of hinduism cost for donitz life is often very challenging and thats especially true for women but as our report. Found out some courageous women breaking with tradition. Saw me has never had it easy she lives in a ten or fifteen square meter corrugated iron heart with her husband and son nick katmandu. Every now and then she works as a day laborer at construction sites or in the fields. The equivalent of three or four euros but she sees no need to complain and says shes happy the only thing that really bothers her is discrimination. As a doll it woman i think many problems living here. Im a day laborer when i work for someone in an upper caste house they usually do. Give me food for thought i have to go to a cafe at the cafe they ask me to eat my meal outside and rinse off my dishes myself any. Dull its are traditionally considered impure in the cost system theyre the lowest of the low that often means being denied access to education and jobs and above all a lack of respect. The centuries old caste system is rooted in hinduism. Many believe that their own fate is determined by destiny and with good karma so might be reborn into a higher cost. Many nepalese are deeply religious especially in rural areas high in the himalayan mountains. The village of ravi opi is a two hour drive from katmandu it slopes are steep the soil is dry and now the monsoon season is about to begin. The minotaur lunging belongs to them cost the mountain dal its she faces even more hurdles due to a lack of well paid jobs her husband has left the country now he works in malaysias oil industry but he doesnt know exactly what he does. Last summer he left for at least three years hes never seen their young daughter. Just the sunday that are you and you so much better if my husband could stay here in the paul and if you found a job in farming or some other kind of job i think he would be a helping hand. Man aside you could take the children to school or help when someone is. Sick i think we have no choice on this still access. Thanks to her husbands earnings be not all and she has some livestock the house is larger than some of the others here. She used to mainly tend to the household and work from time to time as a day laborer. But then her life took an unexpected turn to the International Climate protection and Development Organization is seem odd but again providing agricultural training to women in the region giving priority to those whose husbands have left to find work a project coordinator from a local ngo pays regular visits today hes showing the women the correct way to plant tomatoes. We gather it here we really practical ideas how to group of plants or how they can sans the. Decides to go by pretty sight so youre smart getting them here to give or organizing get to some parts practical training already peerless course so this is how we are training its why i went out or i wasnt all that interested in agriculture and i only use traditional farming methods which dont provide much income. After the first people left trying work the ones left behind just sat idle by us but now we understand agriculture and we can put our time to good use the uses to have. For many local dialects the program has been a boon. To the District Administration believes that giving opportunities to the lowest cost is long over due. To some of the caste system in the paul follows a centuries old philosophy it divides society into forecasts with dollars at the bottom dollars have long been part of our labor force supporting development and improving society in our society is undergoing a very rapid change its becoming more inclusive this caste based way of thinking will be eradicated very soon. So optimistic they fear the longstanding discrimination they face wont change anytime soon yet many nepalese especially the Younger Generation dream of a country without a caste system. The village of culture basi where you seem odd has launched its Training Program shows what this future might look like the local women many of them dull its have joined forces farming operation is thriving theyve invented a new kind of organic fertilizer made of plants cow dung microorganisms and water which they spray on their fields these cute cumbers and pumpkins are grown organically the women tell us. Every few days traders come by to pick up the vegetables and then sell them at markets. The project originally aimed to prepare local women for the impact of Climate Change including drought and erosion but the women soon took charge themselves ignoring caste distinctions in the process now and kitchell agro while helped get the project off the ground we try to work with the people to find out what is the simple thing they can do them stealth to improve their country sense to improve their livelihood or to manage that is at that time we did not even imagine that it will go to the extent that it will really spread and people will then start doing a lot of things so by us i mean from the suburb of kathmandu has also taken matters into her own hands shes building a larger house. Progress is slow because she always has to save up the money for the next step. But shes patient and determined. And shes no longer willing to accept discrimination for being a tallit. I get you any. People dont understand where all the saying that they think im weak but im not. Im Strong Enough to fight being treated like that if some in the community dont want to see it that way thats their problem i dont want to be treated like im inferior to others ill fight that however long it takes they are looking. For saw me and others its a fight for dignity and respect and a future in which nepal is finally free of its cost system. In many countries education is anything but a given around two hundred sixty four million children and young people while white have no access to it and just forty five percent of fifteen to seventeen year olds actually finish that schooling. In developing countries only around a quarter of twelve to seventeen year olds have even a basic knowledge of math reading and writing brazil is one of the countries taking part in a study into education standards being conducted by the organization for Economic Cooperation and development and that shown that kids that a struggling. On route in his hometown. Cloudier says arche lives and works in sao paolo the business and finance capital of brazil the social differences here are especially extreme. I feel. Anger for sure i feel. That we can not wait for government to do anything to solve because its not a matter of having the resources is how you deploy those resources and clearly the you know resources have not been the point where when you get your sector just look at the outcomes. Schools in brazil are often poorly equipped teaching materials out of date only private schools such as the colicchio home in sao paulo are different those who have enough money just a small. A portion of the population do not send their kids to state schools. Brazil is a country in which to drop Operation High School is roughly fifty percent of those who finish House High School about ten percent learned the basics in portuguese and math so. An even access to high quality education is the worst problem we have as a country. Cloud has four children himself and wants to make education accessible for all with his Digital Learning programs thats why he founded geeky a digital platform that has already been used by millions of pupils in brazil. The lessons are presented in a more exciting and entertaining way than in classrooms. So every pupil contest his or her performance. And access costs no more than ten or two euros fifty per month says aki is already working with many schools both private and state run. Pieces of. Video we need to change our teaching methods and present topics differently much for. What my interests the peoples about a subject how do we transmit knowledge they need for life and show the peoples what they can do is that in everyday life and as citizens he but ive. Seen it isnt when you put it there its but. These programs are very important. Theyre much better than always just books and worksheets and silat but its in a good and we work on our mobile phones and computers think visit my so were always connected via the internet i guess is that they may have deployed so they took a look at. A good education helps overcome social imbalances so sakhi is convinced of that and he has experienced it himself. My grandparents came from japan to brazil and to work in coffee plantations so it was really almost like slave labor in a way and their vision to improve their lives was true provide their kids access to good education so thats how my parents were raised and my mother she was a teacher in private schools and public schools. Cloudy he was one of the best students in his class he went on to work in the u. S. For major investment banks then he returned with his family to brazil in order to revolutionize education in his homeland. Six years ago he started his company in sao paolo. Education and Digital Technology come together in a playful way modules can be personalized for every student and their fun. Kiki now has a staff of about three hundred but things were not always easy there was often a lack of resources and the founder had to do a lot of convincing to persuade good people to come and work for him. To find. People who know how to work with Machine Learning on face one trick or two intelligence applying to a location its a its a very unique so we are constantly. Fighting for resources and talent against it like Google Microsoft facebook not only in brazil from overseas but.

If we dont educate our people to have the skills that they need to. Be able to be more productive to be more efficient in whatever work they do. So sakis learning programs are now being used across brazil the next step he says is to expand into argentina. And that sold for three thousand were back again next week.
