always the get it because it's something that i will never find anywhere else in the world. i think so. i mean, hold on one that's, that's a $100.00 notes. come on now you can give me a disco and why is the state of the economy the way it's is, you know, library has been independent for many, many years, many decades. and one might think, well this should be the example for the rest of africa. yeah. so on, i mean the old as republic. um we've had some problems. you've had the civil war for 2 years. a one civil undergrad, so we had it for allow we've had the pool navaros and a couple of rough shown, you know, a, i mean is always in a few questions. i mean, i can't imagine how to survive all of that. you know, you said, well ebola corona and know we have an economic crisis here. how does it affect your society, particularly women? a lot. um, so you know, um if you look at this market, we looked at where we spent a lot of the sellers. you see that women and

a lot of them. um so this is because um a lot of the public thats the offices, the jobs and the offices and big jobs um on the z off. um lets say the read to z, i always demand out, you know, the always, the ones in the offices is upsets women so much. um and i one thing is because of the less the qualification, i think a lot of women are qualified. a lot of them i think we hold is a lot of i have high school graduates, women significantly under represented in all areas and fees, high levels of gender inequality, which is comfortable to countries like a scientist on. and he t, the number of men holding a uni, visits degree, is twice as high as that to women. even when women study, they often struggle to find employment and may end up working in jobs like those in this market. we're almost at the end of our shopping trip, actually a b ends,

but oh no you explaining to me the role of women in this society? how would you describe it? would you say the women generally empowered here? um no. is not that way. i think um the women i nationalized even in the legislature is fine women slicing women striving but yet again today and will follow eastern reading hearts with them. well, fact to thank you so much for your time this morning. i really appreciate it. yeah . and on that topic of women, that's actually where we're headed right now. we've got a group of young liberians and we want to find out from them. what exactly is the role of women in this culture that's coming up in our speech debates. but 1st, i'm going to change to answer this question because of some young people at the beach club outside monrovia, preparing for a st debates is always challenging and requires a big crew. and of course, panelists with the opposing views. yeah,

they switch you right. i know there's a way some written on the thing nice to be. so this was like 3 to the most important thing with these to be just yourself and the to hello and welcome back to the 7 to 7 percent street debate this week. we are a library of the capital of monroe via now you might be familiar with the expression strong african woman in this country. they suddenly having had a female president electronic johnson. but this strength in women is sometimes discouraged when he comes through a magic relationship,

particularly in the applicant, context sensitive. we want to find out why, who better to answer this question for me that some late periods. and we're going to start with the couple on the panel. we have a couple this so loved up austin insurance. hello. thanks for joining us. so let's start with the basic question of your day to day when you wake up in the morning giving me a little clue about who does what in the morning, what's your morning routine like sons, how you are really signing themselves? well, thank you. um in the morning i wake up around 55 like 530 a get my kid ready for school wide. he's dead getting ready for work. okay, so what do you say that's your domestic responsibilities. uh sort of equally splits between the 2 of you. yeah, it is. yeah. physically i'm able to wake up early morning and get hot water for the kids. i'm able to be beeping the little girl while she has to be ferrying cobra or something. so yeah, i think is good and i enjoy doing you abraham, where are you?

i know that you have a biblical name and also an old fashion stands on the concept of equality and relationships. tell me a little bit about that. for me. i come with uh, african quarter background. uh and they are. ruth described to me both men and women. i believe that most of your 1st choices, you know, are offered in context. uh uh, the responsibility of the women. but the make them be of help to let me tell you, i'm laughing because the women behind me, i'm really sighing you stuff to something then? yeah. what i would like you to complete it's fees. so you started by telling me women's responsibilities in their relationship. i had turned on, what did one do all the health choice? know i said, most of the risk response, most of your 1st choice is the woman's responsibilities. so what does the man do then? you know, will i be when setting is the head of the home he's responsible to, to, to provide for the home. okay. tell me what you're thinking. always the female is

a feminist and an activist. yeah. knowing that liberia was set on the basis of peach. iraqi just explains why they are a no saying these different things. but when you look at who said those rules, who's who give the responsibilities of a woman take in charge of the room and doing the choices. you wouldn't know that the men said those rooms and wish we'd be leave for very bias, right? because women's potential is way be your own. just taken care of who i want to hear from some people at the back, right. let me get some reactions. come close to to me, please. i'm a decent analyst. nice. then that gives the ego will mind having you go right. remain home and woman was based on mississippi and nobody's still happy like that. the only reason why we have is still in east loving women, the i to visit it because of the, of, of why that edition. okay, so quick question. i'm a woman here who's doing this job of asking questions,

and moderating. i would say i'm independent. does that bother you? a yeah, it, well ma'am, you know, african culture must not be dependent. what if i told you that in my culture, women actually the heads of the home by so culture, you know, gods and that was said yeah. and then back on to the women us know something. so let me come back to the couple of the even holding hands. let me tell you we are feeling so single today on this. so when you hear some of these sessions, i can imagine that there must also be people in your family who also have quotes similar views be committed to assess the letters you work up and you know, wash the dishes, you're the man. you work up. just get ready for work and move on, you know, and then you start to follow that. i don't get a while, you do that. so we're going to have the money. and what is going to shop people? is that in the mood you as a man, you benefit

a lot if those equality in the who your mother goes to visit you and then she's easy watching the dirty clothes. she's like, why is my phone rousing daddy clothes, let me hear from i do for a 2nd because we haven't spoken to her. you just want to investigate this idea of the head of a home. because because no one has talked about partnerships in the contemporary, well that's we live in today. do we still need that classical head of a home? well, i have no interesting relationship anymore. it is because of what i went through when i was a relationship. so i had to quit 2019 because uh i had an a b will save pregnant. but while it protective, and he was very abusive. so i went to it. i held my god like king. i have to look up in the morning and what so what sucks for bucks are in? what way? sweet. sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, i need to understand is, what do you mean put stokes. but what, what, what,

what helps him dress up in the morning, like a child was what i went extra martin, you know, helping my relationship. okay. and do i have a question for you as he was treating him as a king, as he was saying, which by the way, absolutely. was he treating you as a queen? well, he was abusive. he was really abusive. so it has actually to mid me until lost interest in having relationship. and when i see people are like, you know, couples and then i feel like they're not being true to each other. yeah. okay. so obviously not all relationships which have that dynamic will end up in abuse. yeah, let's just be clear about that. however, it can because there's a power dynamic that has not been addressed. so how do you, how do you navigate this? so for me, people always put or have

a negative connotation. when it comes to head, are we not saying that there will much would be there want to address you is not, is that it will most responsibility to address you if that is happening, that's abuse. knowing your rules is different from being abuse, but i'm saying that the i ascribe for men and women who hold them very clearly. okay. i mean that's your position and that's perfectly fine . we've had many things rights, including the traditionalists, we think that's we mentioned, even be educated, let me hear from, oh, i am so afraid to bring the microphone to you. but let's hear you say your point is in need of go back to our tradition was missing, but it was good to not have to do everything. and that is why we haven't been in the assuming this, but it's all about why you wanna edit. cuz now we make best buy and a new home. okay, so let me just, are you working for example?

and you must have female bosses. how do you respond to that? oh, of having a bus mean a female is going to come to get it because i really don't see her being submissive . sometimes she just, she just was point, know how to man and that is the high supposed to be. so what am i being a bus? the can be from abusive to me. oh, okay i, i honestly cannot believe that i am hearing these words in 2023 but but, but i, but i mean you'll, you'll, you'll view points, let me get one last one here with me. i am power one. yeah. etiquette telling me i learned this aside to become better because come on with carrier children in our rooms for 9 months, which is huge. so new on dustin relationship because we've gone with them for 9 months when they come outside that we've been with them. it even be a hoss wanting to, oh, we sometimes think of them as babies. yeah. alpha as bosses. but when you come on

the baby's man to support me, then what could be able to be the home and it society better. all right, normally at this point of the debates, i would be asking people for solutions. but after hearing all the diverse opinions, i am not sure that there is such a thing a solution. we started with a couple, i'd like to end with them. we've had so many view points here. do you think that the kind of relationship that the 2 of you have with some people might see us aspirational is on the threats? we work up in the morning as a man and getting ready for work. when you stand before that mirror, just the a human being. when you see your wife see a human being, she'd heard our way, man. you are going to be happy. if you bring that woman to the equal point, you're going to be happy because we are just equal and we have this agreement on odds and wish when a, with the hip, the idea that we're pushing, well, which is a better idea. we go about that. thank you. that is

a beautiful place to rock this debates. we have had some very controversial remarks today, but also what a nice way to wrap it up. think 1st and foremost of your partner as human the, the morning after the st to beach in monrovia, i'm still preoccupied with the topic compared to my hotel and they will be monroe view seems more conservative. unfortunately, the issue of equality will continue to be heavy in my mind for a long time as we minutes to have a long way to go before we can achieve true equality. but right now my focus is on an incredible person we've just learned about. so something interesting about a young lady here in the action is still using facebook is not incredible, and that's exactly where we found the story of, of the young e. he's the one we're hoping to meet at the airport just now. he's a librarian based in the you with a pilot who has made an insane journey across the atlantic when a single engine's clean up the young, the flu from maryland,
