it states roy moore i mean we always had a really really right we once had a candidate become a senator in the u.s. has been accused of pedophilia and this is a chance for us now i speak now again as that egyptian muslim woman who covers these issues for my people to say look we have to confront these issues in every community. in every community pick up on that you've written that muslim women are stuck between a rock and a hard place on the one hand you have islamophobia in europe in the united states who whenever a muslim man is accused of any kind of sex from jump on this and say it's the religion is to blame islam is to blame use it to bash the religion on the other hand you have some in muslim communities who don't want to call out mr jonas because they fear that it will give islam a bad rap and they're giving ammunition to people who already hate them they don't want the community to look bad so how do women in communities like that deal with this dilemma if you can call about the answer to that is exactly what will take us out of me to hashtag me to being a white hollywood social media moment the answer to that would be that each

community has to recognize that the less we can talk about sex the less we can talk about these taboos and the less we confront these taboos the most vulnerable people in our communities will be affected and the most vulnerable people are always women children and the eligibility queue so it has to fall on the shoulders of those of us with privilege and to take that even further just also to defang the racism islamophobia when i talk about the middle east and other one of my communities i have to talk about domestic workers i have to talk about migrant laborers because in the gulf you're talking about women who come from different very very disadvantaged countries in communities who are often sexual assaulted by their employers they have no recourse to justice as a racist of a class. so we have to make hash tag need to recognize race gender class able ism and because actually into run general motors talks about this to get to being stuck between a rock and a hard place women of quote unquote elsewhere too it's not just about religion is it for example when women fight for their rights in places like india or pakistan

or parts of africa some say oh you're attacking our traditional culture values you're supporting western cultural imperialism you often do hear that kind of backlash argument. well it's always there it's been always there when ever you are talked about will fry it somewhere you know. everybody who's not agreeing with you or all these kurdish militia forces fundamentalist forces which are really around us always blame us for the not the picking up from this is not what in the end is not what our culture is all about and that the silence that has been imposed on women is also because it feel that if they will speak out they will be targeted they will be seen as the people who are responsible for what is happening to victim blaming all the time so so even they muster the courage to speak they are always the you know in some sense punished for speaking out now you know we are all working very hard to change of are certainly the whole thing about you know you are

a paying the rest you are trying to create the kind of in london than our country where women are now becoming very free they just don't want to follow any tradition and you are responsible so we are certainly very very important but let me tell you one thing in india the situation is very very different now because we are far far right to enter the temple we are together as a result in addition and supporting each other so that is something that is helping us to count towards the flight bag with all the fundamentalist force forces you want to come in earlier. yes i did because i think you know women have have been actually speak an app for ages about the need to end violence and i think i have some of the small moment. i don't want people i don't know moment to feel like they have to put themselves out there we have to name the people who have perpetrated violence especially when the repercussions and so syria i think the focus needs to be and how do we change the societal context and the culture which leads to this

harassment which leads to this continuous violence that women face how do we change this rape culture which is really the problem and it's so endemic everywhere so i would love for us to have a bit of a conversation around that give us one of your suggestions and tell us something positive of what can be done because this is a very depressing cover they should give us tell us what community. i mean i feel like a couple of things that need to be done you know the conversation as well i really feel like we need men to step up we need men to be speaking to each other i mean we need men to be holding themselves responsible you know i feel like too much of the onus is on women and valance we really need men to step up and take responsibility for their own role in this situation and i want to see some of that happen and some of that change interesting that never talks about government stepping up which is obviously important parts crucial but the backlash against me too in the west and

there has been a backlash hasn't just come from men it's even come from some women to french actress catherine deneuve along with nearly a hundred other french women wrote a letter defending men's quote freedom to pastor response to let alone in this climate it was outrageous maybe i couldn't believe it and it was an important moment to remind everyone it was a moment to remind everyone of just how powerful internalized misfortune is these are women who have internalized patriarchy and the power of patriarchy and these are women who are white and privileged and very affluent and very telling to me that they are white privileged affluent women who are basically saying the men who have the right to pester are white and affluent because while catherine deneuve were saying this we're talking about the rise of a horrendous fascist right wing across europe that wants to prevent migration especially on the basis of this so-called right or freedom to pester because the

queues these brown hordes of men and these black holes of men are basically going to europe to rape white women so it was an outrageous letter to publish not only was it basically a policy they were apologists for this kind of violence that we're fighting against but they were also just talking about the men they are not talking about these are not working class women these are not poor women these are not women of different abilities in. these are not out to be secure women and they are not talking about men who live in the inner cities in france who live in various communities in europe who are vilified with this whole remodeling mission you haven't but it's also important to recognize that in europe brown and black men are accused of increasing rates of rape because they want to rape white women so i think this letter was very dangerous and i think that the this kind of position is exactly why hashtag need to have to move out from these affluent white hollywood actresses roger you waited to come in not i want to support you that you know this is what

the privilege of women even talking about in our own country is that you know all of this never happened to me i've never faced any kind of discrimination what is easiest of is talking about these feminists are really trying to remove the relationship in family gathering the family i think need to campaign is extremely important in one sense that it has at least given the kind of why you so speed is that it's not just happening to us melissa as event traveling by buses and walking in small places where people are trying to exploit and trying to have as work also is happening at the at the highest level at the discrimination in terms of age parity discrimination in terms of you know sexual haddest meant all kinds of you know legal privileges really own title men that's what is the problem that men are men who are in these positions of power to see that as their entitlement so that has in question and challenge and that also comes down to the level of a village woman who's working in somebody's farms or the field are going to come down to a labor woman who's trying to work in the construction industry

a building that rolls and getting exploited by the contractor so i think this is just one thing which are at the scene as a strength of this campaign manager be with her i very much want to agree with angela because i think what this moment also calls for the interest supports the women's movement a woman's rights of the legislations have been calling for you know woman know themselves the solutions to the child. it is the phase and they are very often able to work on the solutions what women's rights organizations and women's rights movements. are so underfunded this is part of the work that my organization has been leading in some research that we did a fabric of the most women's rights organizations a thirst on twenty thousand u.s. dollars or less a year these are their movements and these are going to if they since they're actually working to end violence and small communities from village levels to

communities to the regional level and this is really where we need to place the efforts this is really where the change needs to happen and now you've written about the difficulty in defining issues like sexual consent getting agreement on those issues when things are sometimes not clear how does a movement like hash tag me to empower women in particular but to feel more comfortable about setting boundaries about being clear about consent about saying no how can it teach men to respect women's choices and women's communications on this issue because it's now broadened out beyond workplace harassment and sexual assault. absolutely and actually i think right now is also the moments where men really need to take time to learn what consent really means and to know that consent should always be enthusiastic consent should be given them all to pull waves confirm consent should be fair and several times you know i feel like the way

men have been socialized traditionally have especially in my context especially in ghana you know we often speak of men chafes and woman rights like women have to be pursued and men are with their women are being core or they need to be persuaded no i don't think that should be the case and men need to recognize that women have agency women can speak up and say when they want to take part in a sexual activity or when they do not want to take part in the sexual activity and men and women you know pakis should always get consent very believe and none very badly from their pack and you have to confirm that several times in the united states in the wake of the recent controversial allegations around the u.s. act as these i'm sorry and quote unquote sexual misconduct is a phrase used among many others there's been much debate about what belongs in the me to debate you know where does the spectrum of rape assault harassment misconduct begin and end to my question to you is how does

a movement like me to move forward when there are already these accusations oh it's going too far and certain things don't belong in it right whenever we have this historic moment where we're going through incredible change and where you're hearing voices that you haven't heard before there will always be people who are putting this back and saying you've gone too far stop stop and we have to ignore those voices because they say that because this is an uncomfortable moment and discomfort is important for social change revolution is uncomfortable and i consider this a revolutionary moment one of many not the only obvious thing and i think that that this spectrum is exactly the best way to describe it this isn't just. about your boss exposing himself to you or your boss demanding that you have sex with him or her so that you could continue to work this is also about very intimate conversations and relationships and i think in order for that for that spectrum to be fully explored and deconstructed we have to be able to talk about sex comfortably and i think that here in united states too we don't talk about sex

comfortably deafen in egypt where i come from and in the middle east and north africa there are very conservative societies and as a muslim i know how difficult it is for muslims to speak about sex inside and outside of marriage and the same and i think we need hashtag me too has done is it's created this leveling off moment where people even in the united states where they thought they had had a sexual revolution where they thought they were sexually liberated they are now confronted with the reality that they are not that this so-called sexual revolution of the one nine hundred sixty s. has not dismantled patriarchy and women are still being pursued as nana said and meant still think that they will score so i think what we need to do is we need to have a very very honest conversation about sex my question is how long do you have to make to get those conversations off the ground how long as me to have you call a revolutionary moment but a lot of revolutions other peter out or there's a counter revolution the counter-revolution has begun you're seeing with the catherine deneuve than the christian summers and so many other people the counter revolution is definitely here but how long do we have we have forever we are

dismantling a system called patriarchy that has existed forever i think when nona talks about men and how they have to step up i think men must understand that this is patriarchy hurts them to patriarchy places the burden of what we now call toxic masculinity on men surely there are men around and i believe this because i know them who don't want to score who don't want to pursue women who want to have sex whether it's inside marriage whether it's outside of marriage whether it's with another man or another woman in a way that both partners or all partners involved are enjoying it and no one takes the next day as grace tech citizens and sorry to tell them that she felt violated and very exposed to let me ask you that question about the revolutionary moment mona mentioned the revolution or do you believe this is a revolution a moment if so how long does the house. i think it's a particular moment but i actually think the revolution has been going on for a long time when speaking about sexual violence it's not new one men have been

pressing for laws against sexual violence for laws against domestic violence for laws against marital rape in many countries around the world for a long time so it's just that me too as a campaign to have hits the global limelight at this particular moment in time but it's part of ongoing work to dismantle the system that oppresses women and it's work that it's going on and will need to continue to go on and needs to be funded and needs to be supported down or run mono we'll have to leave it there thank you very much for having this is question i know we need many more discussions like this appreciate you taking time out that's our show up front we'll be back next week. period too often on the streets of. our victims but a new force is there plain. female police officers are combative

months since the murder of jeep and his body still hasn't been found but this video could throw more light on the sequence of events after he was killed the pictures appeared to show members of the saudi head team carrying bags thought to contain his remains into the saudi consul general residence you can't believe these things happened in embassies or consul general's things but but of course they are control of all their control law in that they are saudi property saudi land a local place can't really do very much about it and of course they wouldn't and then magine for one minute the were actually listening to what was going on inside the saudi journalist entered the consulate hoping to pick up documents that would allow him to start a new life with his fiance he never came out alive saudi arabia blamed his death on rogue agents but turkey's president says it was a premeditated murder orchestrated by riad these pictures only add another layer of

complexity to the investigation now we have direct evidence showing members of the killing unloading body bags or black bags of some sort so it leaves the impression that you're not of casualties body. ended up at the consular. residence and that's where the investigation should focus not what happened today a few weeks after hushovd disappearance a team of turkish investigators found traces of acid during a search of the saudi council's residence the office of turkey's attorney general has told al jazeera that chemicals were used to dispose of casualties body and now a new book is revealing more details of the killing diplomatic atrocity the dark secrets of the murder was written by three reporters from turkey's daily newspaper

it names two previously and identified members of the saudi hit squad as well as their links to the royal family also audio recordings which allegedly prove that the crime was premeditated and information on hush g.'s reported refusal to text message his son in riyadh and tell him not to worry if he didn't hear from him for a while as a fuller picture of the killing emerges the pressure continues to grow on saudi arabia last week the king reshuffled his cabinet hoping to deflect international criticism but the saudi side would hope that this recent cabinet reshuffle puts an end to this case and relieve saudi arabia from pressure by the turks and the international community looking for some answers the new details are also likely to add to growing calls that saudi arabia names and indicts those behind.

killing paul chatterjee on al-jazeera. let's cross over to our correspondents and who is in istanbul and sent in really the video is out there has been there for some time but really quote closer scrutiny of it now and those images really highlight the complexity of that plan to murder and really puts more pressure on riyadh to name and potentially hand over those suspects to ankara. well so actually his handing over the suspects song remains a big question because saw these didn't even mention the names of the people who have been arrested by the a prosecutor's office in riyadh but of course this pictures have the potential to change the course of the investigation that is held by a stumble prosecutor's office because as everyone would remember what after a couple of weeks of democracy it does murder turkish investigations team in a situation teams that searches twice in the saudi courts late and the another

search in the course later residence and at that time wonder turkish police were checking around they saw a well inside the garden of the residence of the consulate and they wanted to have a look at it by calling the fire brigades and at that time saw the consulate employees that all knew the names on the list can do the searches and they can't invite a fire brigade experts to get inside the well and do some proper tests but finally turkish police had the chance to take some water samples at that time and during that time when i spoke to the turkish police sources and sources from the prosecutor's office they have told me that they had a very strong believe the but the but the remains of jamal for sure she could be inside the residence actually now that they we see that this possibility has a strong potential because according to the security camera pictures yes we see we have the proof that the the but the remains of jamal her shoot it was take it aside

the luggage is an bags from the consulate building and taken to the cold slate residence but there is no picture showing that those luggage was were taken out of the consulate residence afterwards and we know that the consul general. be after entering inside the residence at that day on the day of jamal for ship his murder he stayed inside three d. . is that they can get out once and after three days he had to flee the country he went to riyadh with his family so now there's a strong possibility according to the experts that the mall just by the remains are still inside the consulate residence building saw and now it's up to the investigator it's up to the prosecutor's office to ask for another search warrant inside the residence or not or for the men were leaving soon because surely they're in istanbul thank you bahrain sonic orders a pole the jail sentence of a prominent rights activist who is critical of saudi arabia the region will spend
