during weddings. the the, this is my go now. i ma'am, i don't know what to say is the level of the, of the night goats actually belong to man, man. and this is the 1st thing i've ever owned on my own that to me in the news is that breaking a tip is and it's not the any one of these women want to change a world in which they have no rights to empower themselves. women content and live stock. yeah. they own whole the, the rest of the village is now awake. an official gathering will soon be held under

the big acacia tree, the women's traditional meeting points, the canary amo has already found shelter in new mo, jeff. but any one passing congrats had permanent residency. rebecca noticed only the founder of the village. she's a t center of power for the 48 women in and since she now lives outside and lo, jeff, she's not yet met scenarios. i don't know the welcome everyone. okay, awesome, did you all sleep well, this rebecca wants to know more about the new arrival. woods go around in kenya, the to move to helps women, but it's most about feeding the needy. rebecca's mission is to protect women in

behind who we share everything and do everything together because we're community we're only strong as a team. if we, we won't let you out of our site. yeah, i know that and the women will show you how life is here and when you, when you when don't, i'm only here occasionally. i don't, i don't. why don't we think i'm poking on? rebecca is was carry weight, but she's not the head of the village who mojdeh is democratic. the women decide collectively big box. there's one rule that isn't top for debate mariano, welcome. please listen carefully as i'm not allowed here. not at all. you cannot bring a man into the village even if you fall in love. otherwise,

we'll all have a problem. we live here together among women. as you've seen. while there are no man, and there will be no man on the little clear woods from rosalie, come to the village. teach you is mariam o is now part of the community. when the discussed everything, let's say good by god, be with you. the security and solidarity new feelings for the women who seek refuge here. the symbols social order is patriarchal, which is what led rebecca to create a different world. especially 3 years ago.

we founded a modem in 1990 because some boy man are violent a. this villages for women, voice that wants to win for women who have been driven out of their home and found that i have had to flee the light so that you keep for waiting so long and for children. and that, that if i, even a single women strengths has given many women a life less living. because it's hard to imagine the courage rebecca, must have needed back then. the sambota were originally and the magic people, the men rule, the family, they eat fast and they can marry several women. they can also be rebecca left have violent husband, met women with the similar fake. they looked for a place close to the some buddha national park. they wanted to sell jewelry to

safari tourists. the sound that i could see when we started, most of we didn't know, i guess we could survive on our own. then we can go so, but today we are on our own money night at the your and we get donations. you get that nobody goes to bed hungry. in the end, we can send our children to school. and you also got school is the most important thing for children. you're just into your, into them. they learn what their rights are there to, to your data to data that shows have used the school is the village is pride and joy. it's financed by day nations. few children from outside the village of picked to attend free of charge. one place is still open this year, a c, and i'm so used to kind of do what i can tackle missing because there are 2 girls

being considered. i think a 9 mcmann. they are nothing. yes, both has trouble background, jeanette. i know her down right now. i don't know if she can use to get her the money. we have to make the right decision is that wrong, but that's over and get pregnant because they are poor men out for money to poor families, maybe maybe so you know, and parents agree to marriage because they can't feed all the children up. like take care of the terrible it go down to them again and then i get in the middle. yes, we have to preventive the. yeah. and i think you're really and i'm good with what i love a you know, we can protect them at our school with one of one of whom we think of the beginning. yes. and the girls will pass on our value of mind to use what they learn to help the community and the community goes, don't just get just spoke to the schools in exchange for free education. the

fathers have to agree not to marry. all said autozone to full go, has circumcision based practices are officially submitted in kenya, but the assembled paid to hate for them when i get them to do get and get to school and get them on the line. girls who attend or school don't only study to become a nurse or a doctor one day that went in that category. so why would they also learn that they have right along? but i think that one of them will get a they have the right to reject the genital cutting in marriage. that will be somebody who wants this morning and they'll spread the news to other girls on the initial and they'll learn just watches. the boys won't get it and then bring home just as much money for their families, have a bucket. well then, okay, my new my like out the model number. that's how girls will finally be valued as much as boys that are so cool. kill them one the one thing they have decided

to, to accept rose and jane will visit the family the next day to win out over the father . or can you let me know? i'm very proud of what we've created. level this bond. we have not this place of respect, i think. and i also know now that they can manage fine without me doing this. and the women has become very independent, especially financially. jewelry is the main source of income. and the pride of that culture did a descend. buddha, and for the magnificent beaded jewelry, neighboring tribes call them the butterflies and

the color like this weighs a good 18 lives. the women only take you to go to sleep and even the problem say, and as i've been wearing this jewelry, since i was a small child and by that never went. and i was also taught early how to make my own necklaces not have i told them that i know it's just part of my culture and then i want to be getting it done that the beads and not just on the mental. they also remind the women of the some blue tradition where young man come was us, goes for themselves with gifts of beads, for sex whenever they want. the family is not allowed to refuse. if the girls become pregnant that forced to have an abortion unmarried off to an older mine in

exchange for diary, even when they're under age one of the young men is actually a thunder gain insight. my daughter was still a baby when i came to not have a terminal on that. i think that she won't be a be girl. not, i'll protect her from have a will not, i can you know that the are here. i've learned the beads can also help us stuff, and i'm going to make sure that we now earn money with the euro type guy. the number one, the cody mean montana has only been in emoji for 6 months, and it was for the 74. and i'm a senior my come from so yeah, 3 days walk away. i was on the run when i heard about the women's village. no, to not on the. somehow i found my way here. and

it was my salvation. look, this is where he started me with the bush. nice it let's. so then i'm very sorry. it was a little when you know what, but he did even take me to the hospital and that's when i decided to run away. and then he could have done more to you. i don't, i just my whole life is one big car or, and i'm actually the did you left him engine on it? that's and honestly, i never loved him, but i'm glad to be rid of them. i don't know, i feel better now not, and i don't want to see him again. but what about the money had ended up maybe i'm not very i'm ok. just be careful. the same thing doesn't happen to you if it did to korea in maybe imagine one night her husband showed up here and just grabbed her. she screamed loudly. we all ran over and threw stones out here by the name and they give them both ways to move way out of

the village and they can man, i met him, don't get that muscle now. and then one minute wasn't talking about their experiences, gives the women that voice back. they don't want to be victims any longer. they want to take their lives into that hands and to do better than the man to create a more peaceful world. 63 year old suzanne cha, until grandsons would normally not be allowed on this side of the river. she belongs to the 2 kind of tried the arch enemy of december of susie like you to lead to the conflict between the simple world and the to accounting. i was especially bad when i came here. i fled one night when people were being killed like animals i think doing the cope with good windy weather. assemble on to a kind of new mode. you old women are

a chrome comfortable. they face the same problems. yeah. minus i can't sit down man anymore. parties of not even the side of them. once i bumped into my husband, outside hooligan i was paralyzed. the name of the memories came flooding back would be the beatings, the violence, the one i couldn't stop crying since he bite, and i can't stand men anymore. oh no, that's the but the women, if emoji account completely avoid the male wealth of the assembled, they have to get food such as rice and beans, at least once a month. they have to go to the next largest village toothpaste for today. the

women want to buy ability get that here and then trade. we've met the, the women always come in and knowledge. great. and then trying to show as much self confidence as possible. their appearance is a personal of from to the young assembly of why we use the are you in charge here? get lost here. suppose to so it's a goes not tell me what to do. what do you need

a good for tweet. of course the, what about this one? the come out name a price by the $23000.00 shilling. which was the fastest one of course the women galloway empty handed. but giving out pays nothing option. they try the next big what do you, what we have free people. i'm not giving you a good 7800 shillings or get lost. yeah, you showed them get a the $7500.00 or get out of the make us

a fair price. no, many a go costs around 4000 canyon shillings or about so see you rose, the women went give them what about the they know where we come from. they know that in the most only children and women will be eating the meat, then they don't like it. and they want a humiliating rather disadvantage and can't get a fair price. and the, you know, that the women pass via and finally succeed. everything that i gave, you know, the, it's a struggle every time, but we got what we have on it. that makes me feel happy. and that is the end of the legs. and the icing on the cake. the goal is healthy enough to feed the whole village the,

the men a somewhat baffled ghosts in capital, his own ways being assemblers great to staff states. up until 40 years ago, they still lived as no magic cut is that more and more of the land was the subs. and today, the majority of the tribe lives in permanent villages. the, the hop design is a jones. the frame of demand yet is a timber lattice is posted with model and count on and covered with animal skins, growth maps, and now sometimes also plastic. it's physically strenuous look which in the mode. yeah. it's only done by the women,

in the shade playing marbles of the i guess that's right. familiar. the that we did repairs had cooked wash milk, but the animals pneumonia is not certainly a safe haven for women, but also a functioning co operative give them back. i don't know why we share every single and hardly ever argue, i don't know. so when, but we're also women and sometimes we get on each other on the now. and that's usually about who made the most beautiful jewelry, who at that end result the most interested in making the one i was talking to today . uh let me me the women have coughed out their own independence. a real height. the basic principles they live by. respect, solidarity are a stock contrast to the well they came from the

rose and jane settle suddenly to visit the gun accepted to the school. they're eager to see if they can convince her parents the me you well, the refuses to sign the contract. we can't do anything this end at the end of the yeah. do they give you more than me do that? i mean, they worked for about an hour to reach the village of so many let me come to the family recently had to sell the last goats just to survive. the goes from such poor families or to high risk of being married all. sadly, the deal would secure a father several cows from his daughter's future husband. that rose and jane

went to protect. some will have found the agree hold on the line. hello, my name is rose and i come from the women's village of emotions. one, yeah, we'd like to admit your daughter to our school. free of charge. you don't necessarily know you. thank you very much for this offer, but why did you choose our daughter will submit less still kind of cool than not doing it. mm hm. and then go and get the thing else you'll get. a lot of us will collect simila and bring her home to i want the we want to help for families to give their children and education and why that is either one of them and get it well, then you can't pay for your daughter to go to school, can you give it to you? that's why we want to support you don't give them up and rather than they are a match or know nothing. and i thought we are very grateful to you and the bundle.
