the set you up to date up next here on b w, i documented it takes a closer look at 10 years, 1st female messiah ranges, and that will be back up. it'll be a good day. the and he said, go to the special hot spots in germany. dw travel extremely worth a visit the

wild animals room at the foot of mount kilimanjaro. courageous women are defined traditions to protect some timberline, the team lioness. with the team of the lionesses. the lion is the most dangerous animal, and we're the bravest women in the world. that's why we call ourselves lionesses. after all, we are women. we can't say we are lying. the it's monday morning. the rangers begin the new week, searching for tracks and traces of wild animals. no matter. they came this way. what are they like to see for tracks? okay, there's a level level, so that's

a zebra print fix and it went this way. sandra does eve or who aren't close and then they're like donkeys have got to come out. that's why they're easy to recognize. so isn't differentiate that i've got 3 full, 5678 a to get on because this does have 123 purity has been on the job for 4 years, 3 miles got sadly from the my problem about is courtney and most i think i cindy sees supervisor, the purity and leah had to fight hard for their jobs. training was only opened up to women 4 years ago. the area they cover is around and bassetti national park. it's on the border between kenya and tons,

and the the park itself is a reserved almost 400 square kilometers in size. it has the densest the population of wild animals in east africa. the, of course, the wild animals repeatedly make their way into the neighboring messiah villages. and so that causes conflicts will not be my one best buy. i could tell we had to face many challenges, some of the why number of people and animals live here side by side of the book a. it's clear wild animals because accidents again and again m. so listen, i never come especially the lions and elements wake of somebody in the front of the

somebody mess m w is the most important thing for us is to protect the wild animals and ensure they're doing well and not being threatened by poachers. even though i know my body not yet cubical me tell me that she could not how i know my for people and animals should live together here peacefully. she without getting in each other's way. let them not be left. yeah, they know them to some boy and then my body lia comes from one of these beside villages. she's been a ranger now for 6 months. a new modest amount for somebody who is who will not come on. we know this is a very dangerous place. mean, wild animals could be hiding here anywhere. campbell, if they pick up your sense, most of the time to disappear into the bush. got a new, but they can also attack you before you even realize they're. they're actually cute, says us. the rangers risk their lives at work daily,

the height 25 kilometers to the savannah, the habitat of elephants, lions, and eat us drawing their patrols. they've counted as many as 2000 wild animals in 6 months. so most of our heard are they have the most trouble with the wildlife because they come across the animals again and again. the reason why not when did the lions protect your call night last week? the lion little will know yes, without teeth, but with close, watching so on i will. yes, he's old and we that he's already a touch my her twice as the be just attacks but can't really get the way you heard some with as well as actually has a way i got a lot more love happens to the cough i find on this hill,

it's head was to and i'm never home page, you sleep on this hill you'll put in at the bottom of it, and then it'll be going to how many animals have you lost already have them, but i don't know what all in the loads is good i know that that seems like how do you deal with the number on the side, but what can i do against me and not to kick out when i get it? it's not easy. one, a lion kills a call that the owner is your, your one would like to kill by and get some of that because it killed his town by, you know, i'm a ranger, but i'm also a teacher and for the community money then become a trust to me and it's not in the act on my lease or a number. yeah, me, me. i teach them how to deal with the wild animals. what's the level community, what i'm taking that opinion off from the design before i die from. but i know i know my party, it's important to team line is that they have close contact with the surrounding

villages. on a, we would be the, the, the mold in front of your face, hold it really tight and take the model. i'll show you how you can do it. you know, i always do it at home. the one i saw and that's what i mean because i love the women. it cost us to chat with them when we visit. oh, we just couldn't get oh, can i? what does that mean that they ask them if they noticed anything? well, they were collecting firewood. which animals did they see it? yeah, look at the guess study. what to magical doesn't meant. they're usually the best

informed about what's going on around them. now on the way i can then, the nice that you visiting again, given one of the while, you're always very welcome the law or did you make them yourselves? aren't they heavy? you know, we don't know them saying that is that a james and the know it would be too short when it's finished or close it into a bracelet. let's begin with them. we'll develop the buffalo, let's say one comes to a watering hole, then goes back into the bush and then the father, you know, we don't fetch will to every day i wrote to women in the messiah and culture, have little to say, and don't work for pay phone book when the and i was 10 years

old and i understood it wasn't easy to be a woman in the must die culture life. i watched my mother the number month how she worked every day, like she got up and milk the cows or does she lived? and then she got us ready for school and heard the cows out to grace down one down in the much. she fetched water and brought the couch back in their shelter. she was responsible for every thing that goes to glen just off. she worked from 4 am to 11 at night and then communion and custody show gloves. here is that the men looked down on us. women clout and i'll have a feeling when are they say we don't do anything on the funds. they say we can't even do housework right now. and because the anxiety or find a job findings like we have on the lion, is that a kazi or marriage? you welcome on related to suicide. last, the,

during the work week purity in the as the that kept limo together with their meal colleagues, they relax, sleep and eat under one roof. normally, the messiah, his daily routine separates the genders the to the messiah in maine and the can. living together with their female colleagues took some getting used to at the start and their culture flows contact with women is limited to family members. you always have to be informed about what's going on . that's right. would you stand up so i can move forward? well, no, no, no communities of men in our village are very different from our colleagues,

because we live closely with our co workers. so i'm not like with siblings mixed and that's why the people in the villages don't have a very good opinion about why not. why not want to give you feedback. now they look down on us and also about us. it's really not very supportive focused on the individual ground by the i is. when the appraisal come through sunday, the hopefully god will send you twins. let's just pray. i'm sending carla weiss, protect the government and that everyone should pray for that. you are blessed that you'll make god send us luck. may he guide us when we are walking in the bush? may he protect us with his lovely, fragrant the purity being allowed to see the dinner time prayer is a small child,

because that's traditionally a male domain. she and lee had to apply to the village elders to get their jobs on team lioness. they also had to prove they were physically fit and well educated was on me when i come a at the start, the others thought we would just have a good time with matt. and i came in all alone with them in the bush. but people had really dirty thoughts go for over time. they came to understand how good we were here for work. how about a no other reason you owe on this? give us it's february. the sun rises at 6 45 am. it's time for roll call. good, go, don't, don't be done. running on the bus monitor, went to it. it went to the

couple lines a can you find the quest? oh no, not the beginning. a male rangers didn't believe we'd be up to the challenges, encore and the newcomer had to go is that the job is so hard a quote, but we have to hike through the bush for an hour. and i came, there might ask who i'm sending you, the thought we'd never coupon because we were women. is the single on the funds of they didn't know any women before. so did this type of work to help on buying? we are the 1st all fund. 6 those it is, i believe that's why i associated it 6 louder. we just reason your leg due to i don't was abo down the

i'm not sure it was well own the, the more than 800 elephants are living in the region at this time. there are no national park boundaries for them. they migrate from park to park and regularly across most side territory. the female rangers are called out again and again. a herd of elephants says approach the village. the elephant cows are restless because they are young. with that, it's a dangerous situation for the female rangers to combo santa can you find on the funds on one of my 1st patrols we were attacked by

a buffalo and some were injured. yeah, i was quite frustrated and wanted to quit the job show up on our colleagues were so encouraging and my part of the name was, you know, from those put in the 7th day, i know that these are the challenges i have to face on one the book on way now among the telling to somebody as laughter that some i never thought of getting up. somebody and i just dangerous missions make for a strong bonds. liberal. yeah. yeah. it was, it was the name on the how i love this works. i'm having it pleases me where you what do you think purity knew the longer that and then i think of this job without this job and then we must die when i wouldn't get any recognition in our community in a lot of my sites. i so saw the work has improved our personal situations, middle models, you know, my, the, and the, well, i mean i have a question, how do you want to have a future? and we are making it possible for you to nag them. and we are also aside from the

global, our women and think of other stuff that we are getting out of that out on the on. i want work like you do, you owe the money. i. um, i bring home and share with my husband invested together in our children's education. who do you? oh, yes, unity seasons and offered to the mazda in our time has car will, over the years. finally got a few days off after 3 weeks of really hard work. she's visiting her parents in the just 10 kilometers from the camp. the a grew up with 9 siblings. here. her mother is always the 1st person she greets my mom and how are you? gives me a buy

a home at last. yeah. yeah. i am tired. i say hello. how are you? good. how are you? good. hey, we don't have anything to worry about anybody in there. we took part of the hud into the forest for a regular boat. whether you get leah finished high school 2 years ago, or 5 sisters only have a basic education. early on, leo was determined to fight for her education. her parents supported her decision to have a career the, the is the only woman in the village who earns money. the

when lia is with her family, she lives the traditional life of the messiah news quarter folk taking them with some of them at home. i'm a completely different person. so give me a, as in defense, my obligations in the village are very different from those that work then says franco, most people have a bad opinion of my work. because my side women normally don't move out of their family homes. so i'd please, well, that's a level send us the said i change too much by the end i lose sight of my goals and i think that's what the my part to i'm only thing done by delete to know what time you know. so this is a how important or he'll po and well, and i've seen him up on the i don't care when you see my mia the way they see it.

an independent woman only causes problem is that because she's too dominant for that. she can feed herself acute to earns her own money, not get in and is independent of her family. the actually should have already been married some time ago. many, most women, though betrothed to men, when their children, the price of a few goats or sheep, laid to equal i owe to be our traditions destroy young people's dreams. especially those of women who stand. i always wanted to be a veterinarian said love we. everyone here just made fun of me and said, no, you want to be yvette and, you know, you ski a fleet, you're just a woman. you can become a vet, kindly you should get married. you have children, start a family, you know, fuck window cornell and i feel what i'm asking for, but i understood them. yeah. that they wanted to destroy my dream. the pool. me go

on that one on so cool. what, when leo, the education is the only way to develop a new level of consciousness among the children. to know now ro, school was opened to a short time ago. in the sy region. 200 girls and boys are being taught in mixed classes. that should reinforce together this hello children that can get like what do you think when you say this uniform a range? oh, that's right. yeah. a range or a community. my name is charity like that of charity like car. i'm just, i'm a ranger. the most female ranger the scene. this is

a 40. mm hm. so what do you do when you find a deadline? i think the plaza miss 1154 hours and i tried to find out why she died. not that wasn't a natural gas, or was he poisoned? i mean it was, he smeared or stab or caught in a snare to make us nest. when you take breaks or do you work all the time? so let the plug in got took off. do you see us often in the bush after lunch, when we get a short break, then we have to work on weekends too. we work as a whole week with only when i'm sitting there or very exhausted, and then i can have some time off. and as opposed to letting much but the missile man and i went to a remote school just like this one. how do i and today i'm standing here because i worked hard before was gust. i'll tell you everything is possible long as we're boy's mind. yeah. and girls stand as long as you make the effort. you're welcome.

thanks for listening. protect you the discipline and keep on working hard. thank you very much and see you later about the purity as an example for the school pupils a role model. they can follow sharon's money and can determine the course of her own life. the leo didn't have any role models in her youth. no one who is scared to lives the way she dreamed of. most of the women around her are dependent on their husbands.

via has turned down all offers of marriage up to now. she simply bumped the goats and sheep herself from her salary as a ranger. yeah. does this money have a kid? yes. and where is it? zillow here. did you milk this one? no. no, no, don't spilled a little bit. we have the nama hold onto her. she has lots of milk. let's give his 9 proud. i own goats and sheep because an arm assign culture unmarried women aren't normally allowed to own animals level. now the once you get married, you get animals has yes. can you say, hey, can you possibly,

but i already have some now you'll be known. you sent me an email from one of that and he's respect in my family, so funny. not in the oh no, probably i'm no longer powerless that i that one. i can ask my siblings for a favor. so you can, even when i'm not here, when you, when they help me because i can pay them for it. i have something to pay or from the beginning them plenty of them. so it would be a good, nice town of the i guess i don't know the toil fast. i mean, you're still young. you don't know how to grew up. see now. yeah, i know how it works. the is mother wasn't allowed to attend school as a child and she's always supported her daughter's dreams for exactly back reason

i live in a lot of other than the from ivy. i love how for and i you will, you know that she went to school illness. i hope she'll still retrieve, even though i thank god she worked so hard and has reached out yet so much. i've always prayed for the by when i'm not, i'm not going to let you down by the lead, still dreams of becoming a veterinarian working as a ranger is paving the way to that goal. the work of team lie and this is also paying off for the animals. despite the government benz poacher, still hunt elephants illegally the

each year in can you alone $100.00 tons of i for the or confiscated the prize for test guy avery can be around $1000.00 euros a key low the in the meantime there are hardly any poachers and the female rangers patrol area the team's daily presence has frightened off many a criminal in our culture. a man is only a real man when he is hills alliance lesson by me and people only respect him when he is killed. the 10 lions that will make for the men today don't kill lions anymore. so that's like a lead protecting the lion and get together with the man. man does not invalidate the

cause of it. hey man, i've been part of the same lie and assign it, but there been lots of positive changes. so i know that we're placing so much more value on protecting animals. and there aren't any cases of poaching anymore in this area. i do sometimes i cannot condone, will can go go to come. i you what sometimes someone feels like a zone but not for economic gain to laugh at it because people are hungry for food for, for my show on. know if these cases are very rare that the cases of the over there and here it

is like a tortoise in. oh yeah, that is a sleeping. yes. yes. again, i realize and the other one, the other one that i was the police is bless you. the only reason they said he must say, we believe he does. those more kids went to internet and the bed for a refund. the needed the, the been always drive away from purity and lee is, can, is a small town with almost 1000 residents. it's called to keep on their shopping opportunities, a clinic schools and businesses keep on a is a commercial center for them aside.

the tuesday is market day. the women go shopping for ranger camp supplies. we come in the key, ryan could tom boy, every one lovingly cause mama esther has set up a commissary here. this is the food we're taking with us today. hasn't been weighed. not yet. here those beans including me or she'll get an oil back to you. mama esther was one of the 1st people to campaign for the rights of messiah women. she can vincent international fund for animal welfare to support the team lion this as a pilot project.

i'm so happy when i see all goes from the messiah villages, learn from the proves, they don't have to get married to to i'm can work independently in glanville, their own elias on video. and neither of them come in who waste has to be right? fill it up, some more lead, lifted together, the good we were wrong for a long time, but now we can except that all children must go to school, then most of these young people will lead us into the future. the

cartoon is coming to the women from team lion. this can change our culture. we can do the same hard work, is the man to be a part of that. we've got to make the young generation aware that it's a good job, the job. and you can make yourself independent by doing it, they say a comma in doing that, something good with the new to new issue. and what key at that to your life to you? so we're enriching our culture to what you're doing. so to sign up for the remainder to india, india, we lock on the the women make time to chat between the afternoon shift and dinner. they talk about all sorts of things, fashion men,

but also about their cultural burden. many my side are subject to painful rituals. the focus drum was when you get brown to, to my, you'll always touch and they become ragin supposedly me. and you're done, we can, well, you can say it heels faster. and if it bleeds a little community that was true for me, but what i really have is the removal of the bottom 2 front teeth. i hate that too . i can't pronounce some words, a tool any more. let me speak to them out, even though you didn't want it, and you need to like the more violent be taken out when i was 4 years old. they just, i can still remember the day. isn't they used to now? yeah, susan, their allegedly doing it for beauty, maybe say oh, that's what they can see. your messiah from the brand. unless you get to a new must say, f o, some people believe you must have food with the donkey. if you'll tease, don't take them out. when that is that true follow as well? so like you, you share with the dog. right?

but the community it is out there are traditions that we've got to get rid of like of e mails or conversation and some of those i, you didn't have a say that doesn't help anyone do that. i would say it's torture for the women and denies. oh, they're right, come across to us and the party is mutually so the misses and so forth. you are, there are long term consequences. in your mind, you're going to ask that. mm hm. and what's the worst that can happen inside the center name? no one that you can get diseases like cutting them from the rusty razor blade for a couple and giving birth is difficult so we can do a scan and emailing why no one e e s or not even in my budget. and that's doing. there are already positive changes in our culture because them but and the younger generation is reading. unfortunately, majority po come up,

but the not good messiah cultural tradition to him. but most, we should get rid of that. can you say what the bad militia, female genital mutilation. shows how long the process of change can take. it's still being practiced as a matter of course, in remote regions. today, the giraffes, news and elephants move through regions populated by them aside as they forage and search for water. the predators like i e minus approach the villages to the messiah's goats and sheep are easy prey, but village residents lives can be threatened as well. when people are attacked. the female rangers are always called the

of the readings that they get. mm hm. i'm wondering, my name's lot of time. we spent the whole day out with the goats and sheets. we were leading them to water whole night. i watched them carefully until the evening until we got lost in them. hygienist showed up all at once and scattered the herd of the new golden initially, and they found the boy ran one way and i ran the other all of them. okay, what sort of a might i do normally mean? what are you most afraid of when the wild animals nothing

mean down the about it. mm hm. and when the hyenas and elephants came closer, my boy started to cry. and then i thought i was going to die. mm hm. the me where they can even don't be afraid. we're here for now, or the mazda, or letting you know, we're looking to, you know, help you get over it and make, i would run into like a mega you. god will cheap, protecting off walking 9 meg. i mean, we work into the night time law cases assign the whole body funds. i was trained for situations like that and i handle people with understand

the again definitely into them. yeah. they is the same. i mean, yes of the pile of male colleagues often react with roughness and toughness. when they speak to villagers, paula. so that was in your own. got no one knows going to come up with now. i a cheese my and by handling them with a sensitive and all of these and never reacting aggressively as amanda and see you soon goodbye. the, the rainy season ends in february, then a great many animals come into the female rangers area. the, the water holes are full, the

that means really long working days for purity, the, and the rest of the team. the use the opportunity to observe the animals up close the do you still know what to use cold? no, i've forgotten some water buffalo. we're getting really close to move 0 bowls. the name of the this is their small. they've just come out of the water quite the way. you might decide that one is aggressive. you're right. a fighter

for the us. if you guess how now the through the a and then when i talk to purity, you're speaking from experience once. she was suddenly charged by a water buffalo. she only survived because she played dead the resist. i'm going to, in my work, we continually get really close to wild animals going to say dangerous animals of level it can if this elephant charges full speed. yeah. at the food in my life is in danger. we see here laser lights that god hasn't noticed us because he's eating

new for cutting. may he then say didn't you come to was that you can only study the animals behavior and, and find out how they're doing it. we're getting close to them. you definitely know the animal is getting used to me in my uniform angle, not that reinforces our connection. the previous close the

do the my last time and i should struggle doing something good maple. so my, my food have moved and going so many families. so the yes, a must of these triangle and just i would like to do something good. the closest thinking, you know, what involve my experience is that the role of women is becoming stronger and i'd like to encourage girls to go their own way. cooperation on and living together with them and works well. you and you and there's nothing objectionable about it. took one. no, it doesn't mean we don't respect our culture. meaning that quite the opposite. the country i would like our culture to change it to you. cool. what but yeah, more out of the money that we could find out cuz you felt more yeah.

the cheap light and this goes out brimming with confidence and energy, to play soccer with their male colleagues after a full working day. and even if they lose their still winners. meanwhile, uh, let me, yeah, cuz he does. what mean i hope, with our work we are able to secure animal population while he does up by to find the assistance for their cars and at the same time, get our community to reconsider if you had them yet through today by the nation. i'd like to work hard to support women need these plays, they should get further education and build up a strong network. if one does, it was up. would you say no, we knew it was a visual. have to play a team, lioness marks the start of changing the time. it's new ones of what he says down by those. yes, the
