access to education more women work and are represented in parliament they also have a seat at the table of the so-called grand assembly which is holding talks about the future of the country right now but the fact is experts rank it as the worst place on earth to be a woman today a you. u.n. poll found that more than half of afghan women have experienced domestic abuse in their lifetime and

have found a safe haven from abuse and evenings and alyssa was just a girl on her wedding day her groom was eighteen years old. her think you know that of when i saw him i was shocked because i was

hospital i was unconscious when you're moving them. could asia says she tried to escape to her family but her own father rejected her. search of whom i went to him for help but he didn't understand and told me that i left the house with a white wedding gown and only my dead body could be brought back in there in a white shroud of the dead when you if you don't see. it is a familiar story in a country where impunity for violence against women is pervasive. at the shelter they offer victims a sanctuary education and a chance to rebuild their lives its founder says that despite advances in female empowerment making sure those gains reach the rural areas is vital this is the time for the fight for all of that it's because of the stand for our rights we should push the international community to hear her voice is a path government we will not go back. until fundamental changes realized across afghanistan this center will go on providing shelter to those bearing the scars of injustice. we move on to indonesia jakarta to be exact it's a mega city of around thirty million people and known for its congestion overcrowding and pollution the city is also prone to intense seismic activity and flooding plus did you know it's also sinking that's happening because of improper groundwater usage and rising sea levels officials are building a new seawall as a buffer but the situation remains critical and some scientists predict that ninety five percent of the city will. the below sea level by twenty fifty all of this has revived a decades long discussion to move the capital to a new location now indonesia's urban planning minister says president joko widodo has okayed the plan officials have not settled on a new location yet but the government wants any capital to be less vulnerable to natural disasters some are looking to the east of the country local media saying one option is palanker ah a city on the island of borneo well where ever the new capital will be the president says it's time for a move. to this idea has always come up during each and every presidential administration but it has never been decided were discussed in a planned and mature manner. moving the capital involves great details of planning in choosing a location based on geo political strategic factors including the readiness of funds and infrastructure. for us god willing i believe if we plan it well we will accomplish this great idea. so we dodos enthusiastic about this but what do people think we asked residents of palenque araya how they feel about the possibility their city might become the new indonesian capital. i'm going to fly after you agree in my opinion if the capital city moves to prolong it would improve the economic situation here. i completely agree with the idea of shifting the capital from jakarta to poland pariah why because it could be just the visibility of local artists and small industries in the area to a national level. i disagree because of many factors that should be considered one of them is increased competition for jobs people here would be at a disadvantage to job seekers who will come if. becomes the capital. became i don't agree with the idea i'm sure that people with higher degrees and qualifications will also move here and they will control the system. local students and residents are not get at their level but they're improving in my opinion the change would narrow opportunity and raise the unemployment rate here. we'll keep following this story for you in the meantime we'd like to know what you think is specially if you're in jakarta should indonesia keep or change its capital let us know on facebook or twitter on to thailand next where king ma how long corn has married just days before his
