Watching the seventy seven percent thanks for joining us now can you box your way to better selfesteem a group of girls in south africa is doing just that we have this and a whole lot more for you on today show. Young kenyans are joining the doctors to help communities in remote areas from hocking. Street debates reports. To kampala to find out more about womens empowerment in uganda. And finally nigerians see me around us ling metropolis of live in our my c. T. Feature. Now making the journey for change thats the motu of the safari doctors this change of young people babies and kenyas county brings medical care to removed communities safari doctors travel to the islands in the long ago and ive a hard to reach areas near the somali border by the time they were ten there would have treated hundreds of people not forget and animals too so its no surprise that in twenty seventeen theyre going. Was named person of the year by the un in kenya thats one more incentive for the safari doctors to keep making the journey for change. The islands on kenya cost and a beautiful spot for visitors but for the local communities the remote location means it can be a struggle to a vital health care. These are the safari doctors the team from long island braves the ocean in a bid to offer free medical care to isolated communities. We access ten to twelve villages at the moment and experiences about one hundred people so we travel with a medicine to address the basic illness this is a lot of respect three issues you know this Carbon Monoxide cooking theres a lot of dermatology issues. So far the doctors is the brainchild of thirty four year old omer omar a resident of shes not a medic herself but she got together with nascar in ten to fifteen to start the project today the safari doctors team has eleven regular members as well as international and local volunteers. Dr abdul hakim is one of the volunteer medics so there are many reasons why. They are not enough maybe it was often in here especially nasas. Because one i think this is that he wants this second thing because of security although well some of the villages border somalia and face the threat of attacks from the militant Group Alshabaab the first attack happened in twenty eleven since then local civilians have regularly been caught in the crossfire between the fundamentalist group and the kenyan military. Treated one who had picked him off the bomb blast and then. We talk hard to get job here for treatment. But unfortunately that last leg of. The terrorist threat is very real for the doctors to. One time i would have come to monk i happened even to ban our motorbikes which we were using. But even terrorist threats from over the border cannot deter these team they know that without their help people in marginalized communities simply wont get the medical care they need. With you oh my god i had a bad cold which brought on least as you can see here its painful i cannot time like this. I wanted to go to ram to the hospital but transport here is difficult for us and we dont have a health care center. And i have played. I have now been treated well and im grateful. Ulcers a headache and a cold. Im happy with the safari doctors came. But people from the neighboring villages theyre not so lucky. In many parts of the country people still rely on traditional media scene but thats really sufficient to make up for the lack of proper treatment the government has committed to improving security and universal Health Coverage but it will take time for these wealthy plans to become a reality in isolated communities until then villages will continue to rely on Community Projects to plug the gap we provide them with some of the supplies and that is when they go to an outreach and social communities like since. You also do. Allow some of the softer gentler this so to just help us reach some of those villages that you might i want to challenge reaching for in a way that is being you know how i listen to dividing those primary Services Services that we give are at no cost and the concept is how we can make it sustainable through the universal health care pledge which county has fully subscribed to the plan. Of what they want as well as getting medical supplies from the government so far doctors has established partnerships with various tech holders in order to keep the project running. Obra omar and had team a lifeline to these island communities providing health care and hope in equal measure and. What a Great Initiative and much respect to those brave young people now on our street e bay said mens we regularly present undiscussed an important topic that affects young people in africa this week its all about female empowerment how can we do more to lift up women in african societies and i chief gender equality. But first we take you to the outskirts of cape town in south africa where women and girls live in an informal settlements i specially at risk of assault so then be sung on the end you. Decided to do something about. What hold on to join the league its almost thirty degrees in the schoolyard but it doesnt stop. And how bucks gallos from giving it their all to the ghostface is more than just a workout. Confident interest to empower them as a woman like just for them to grow up knowing that like that woman they have a power they have a say and they can motivate others they could be the leaders of tomorrow. Tembisa works as a facilitator for boxcars the n. G. O. s teaches girls how to defend themselves against Violent Attacks like most of the guards she is coaching she also comes from the township of khayelitsha almost four hundred thousand people live in this township of kept on a lucia is one of the poorest parts of the city and up to a third of its inhabitants believe in informal dwellings crime rates and violence are high. Women and gars especially vulnerable over forty thousand rape were reported in south africa in the last year but the actual number is likely to be much higher as only one in nine women would reported to the authorities tembisa and boxcars want these disturbing statistics to become a thing of the past five times a week she coaches a group of twelve to thirteen year old goers at a local Primary School along with boxing tembisa also helps the girls with their homework gender equality and female empowerment at the core of ten business work our goal to remove that negative mindset that boxing its all men for fulfillment but also like men for for the woman as well actually like any kind of sport theyve in any specific sport for women or for the men after the homework is done its time to get moving. And be so once the girls to know that they are just as strong as the boys this mindset has already rubbed off on some of the cars had i like folks girls and i like the boxing basics because it protects me against the boys who sometimes bullied me. Tembisa is proud of the positive. She hunts on the guards she has self was the victim of a violent attack when she was twenty years old two men tried to up and stabbed her twelve times she still has numerous scars from the incident through counseling she has slowly regained trust in men still how wish for the future is to see more women in positions of power. Not every man like sympathized with us as women or feel the same pain that a failing end in those politics will find leg everywhere every time they leave it to maine i think if that could shift a bit being a woman here that will decrease the number. Of violence and teenage pregnancy and expansion. On a Grassroots Level tembisa hopes to transform African Women into strong and empathically leaders and yes lets hope that those young women will be the agents of change in their country now although women are vital when it comes to supporting their communities in africa they represent only about fifteen percent of the regions land owners theyre also far more vulnerable to Sexual Assault and have a higher rate of illiteracy but its no secret that empowering women can promote selfconfidence generated better income for families and even prevent early pregnancies in this weeks street debate all reports are that commanding isnt kampala with some exciting guests she asked them to share their thoughts on what can be done to empower women uganda. We are in kampala uganda vis is the capital and the rain gods have opened on us but guess what the show must go on because today were going to be discussing a very fiery topic here gender parity or lack thereof it is in this country that the minister of tourism suggested that women should be added on to the list of attractions for tourists that garnered a lot of reactions and were going to get some of them right here so lets open this discussion with i suppose well come to you patricia what gives what is the Current Situation in uganda in a surprise egalitarian islam is concerned i mean i think that uganda is a lot like. You know its very nature so this is a country where i mean you can get on t. V. And see that women are Tourist Attractions just for the same country where. Telling women that because theyre educated. Its a sim country where an m. P. Can get up and say women need to be displayed into by their husbands i think that the few feminists who exist in this country and exist loudly are met with constant attacks so i guess in a lot of ways we sort of a long way to go ok you say that you have a long way to go but not everybody thinks that this is actually any reason to go anywhere monday you say that theres no need for changing anything society was created like this while for fathers for reasons women i dont have as many of changing anything but im saying that the speed at which the women want things changed is what actually is very very women they played the role of making a home so implying that the who may. Be in the position of that men would come to the. And thats why we have the homes breaking because they are running go from there at the moment to just been creating an overview but i want to get into the very specifics of this everyday sexism can you tell me in practical sense what. For you to be a woman in uganda it means that my my body is not mine i feel like my body is. Especially in regards to street harassment terrifies me any man can come up to me is entitled to come up to me and ask me what im doing why im doing it why im there im the lawns im big in fun tell lies every single. Even i know hes there in front of me if i put it in terms of the leadership that we have so last year i think you proved the minister of Public Service issued a new dress code for women thats extremely oppressive its like something out of the one nine hundred twenty s. Women cannot show cleavage women cannot have sleeveless tops women should not wear anything above the knee where we should question by the way we should specify that this is for women in Public Service when women on the list Public Service if you walk in the National Hospital is any any Public Service then this is for you so it was one of the real question is why you know because for them it just like what women should just like this some men dont like this woman dont repute men dont harass and dont talk to men like this of this is the logical steps the logical sex the kind of then controlled. I mean i think it was ok i think i want to go back to the point that lindsey was making that this sort of sexism is not only social cultural but its also systemic it exists in law it exists in organizations how do you react to that i mean you can argue with that my point is simple is that i think if you have a chip on your shoulder and you think that the world is out to get you youre going to view every obstacle that you face as a result of some nefarious actors or in the ferias class of people that are trying to put you down in this case men which is what activists will sink the feminists and i feel like this is unfair that so many women that have succeeded who have gone on to do great things there are many terrific brilliant business women in this country brilliant women in parliament brilliant women in all walks of life in every profession look its a double edged sword. Right there are women who do take advantage of their femininity to know what way to get lots treatment you know theyre going to smile at their supervisor and hope that he treats them a little bit more leniently there are some women that will try to date men at a high level some men abuse of power to gain Sexual Attitudes to women other women utilize their power to advance their careers ok its just the world we live in joyce are you using your sexual your female wiles to to to advance in your career is this what is happening is there any truth to what fat boys say yes there is truth to what you saying some women have ignorantly done that some we milk a but let me ask you why do you think the feel the need to. Thats what i was going to talk about because the fat boy in me. Taking advantage but some in some cases someone has no option it is not the only option he lives oh ok theres a lot of nothing here theres a lot of flattery here so like i dont know like how you think that the plane is leveled just because there are women that are like taking advantage of the fact that they are women do you understand that they have been told that this is what they need to do like it is not fair like it is not enough for me to just be intelligent to be really hard working i have to open my legs for someone to sleep with me for me to be on the same level as you so im going to come back to monday because this question is actually in direct contradiction to what you said that some of the cultural norms which we have normalize ones like and things that some of the cultural norms we have normalised may be normal but theyre not right when the minister Public Service or when youre going to comes up with the police and say look here we must be seen to race because the moms body as my sister was saying but doesnt that mean that the body belongs to the man and he has authority on around you. Oh yes this is. Oh no no no no i have to remove the microphone right there women do not belong to society and. To themselves to them so let them show them some give an example let me give an example if. It is the. Devil when you see it means that when you see things that you. Somebody. Remember. In its own well well well well well well well ok hold on hold on lets keep going with this conversation i know its getting heated but my question to the people standing here is do you think uganda will ever be egalitarian house and what is the role of men in creating this equality that we have set as an ideal for men to be part of the solution to achieve gender equality men need to accept to share power and to share Decision Making and men need to do to have respectful relationships that is never ok and. Im not even sure if i should come to you because you might you might open another can of worms but monday i have to ask you is there ever going to be equality in uganda gender or what do you want to say is that they were equally taken on libby funny that dictionary enough said well weve had a very good number of comments here today i think this is definitely one of the most heated debates weve had so far and we absolutely enjoyed it please do let us know what you think and thank you for watching.
