we need to women who are working towards radical change to address challenges and very did tend to be violent, cloth and racial inequality and climate change. in me kids me, they were born automated at the end of apartheid. what do you think people don't know about the role of women in the struggle against the part that i really think the way in which history is told serves a purpose, right? which is also to reinforce, you know, a male dominated, a presence and power structure, right? basis, reinforcement of these marches, right? these men who come in save as vulnerable group of women which has inherited the wrong and false women were organizing churches talk self,

trade union. women wouldn't be carrying the country on the back and shoulder if a history continues to omit that. and i think what that does is that it continues with alienate women and their contributions and making society with a political social, even economic in here at constitution. hill, inter harris cogan, particularly in the structure we are at the women's jail. why was this a significant space for you when i think about the, the caliber a woman that we incarcerated in the place? you know, it literally just brings me in, or it's the persistence of women writing themselves into history even in the absence. right. and for me, as a young feminist, as a young actor was, that has been really pinnacle in grounding my own activism. as

a new generation of the woke generation, we must never ever get tired of developing resistance strategies. i mean, if these women were able to organize themselves, i know probably one of the most difficult conditions. i see no reason why i'm able to achieve, you know, the idea of bullying, the biggest feminist global movement you are now 20 thinks women activists. and he was 17, what was the sort of compelling factor that made you think, you know, i want to be active. there was a case go by the name of, i mean poison and with cape she was like, oh my gosh, i'm 17. she's 17. she got killed on the nights out and i was thinking about all the times. i like to jump to go out with my friends, right. what happened to happened to me, those just so much unique and similarity almost a decade later. you know, the chan found the black woman quote because i

couldn't speak. 2 tangible shows what ultimately black woman coca seeks to do is to really create this and feel we don't want to live the violence, prevent society all the time. we want to become what i mean. i'm like, i want to be able talk, hey, janice, base and not worry about am i in the a 17. and you've already been an activist for a few years. how did you start and what was the major? so it all started in 2018 when we would talk to do some research on time and change . i grew a lot of time in, di tc mall the facts about how we have limited time and watching my future fade away. health of our environmental kind and what is nice is my activism was the

since i had to do everything in my power to create a change. well, i mean, some people will say that you know what, this stuff is for people who can afford to have 5 different been recycled. but you know, you spoke into the fact that it does affect people who live in the township people . first time i came to realize the seriousness behind environmental racism. when i spoke to a friend of mine said when she was very young, she had to live with the grandmother. we stayed in waco and we said she developed breathing difficulties. and a few later when she moved back to the server, everything was fine. and that's when she made the link back to the equality in a way to was so terrible that she, they will pass that. and you can make that link with a pulsate,

how the opposing government basically dumped that people in one area and indian people another area and and gave like people that land that belong to those citizens that they just areas. and even though we live in a place to point to south africa, that neglect is still carried out what has been rewarding and that you would consider, you know, big or small in achievement that you've been able to kind of get to with your work so far i think wanted to win said to make a big impact. my life is when someone will come to me personally and say thank you for teaching me this. i've learned and now i know better. and now i can do better. i think the biggest she winds up appreciate a lot of activists around the world that has that and his mind. so being

able to stand up in front of college and speak your mind as religion. also they get cheaper than when you, once again year people listening. you hear the responding to come out and articles . theera. you're 17 and keep him in the year 26. i'm wondering for both of you what you feel the defining values and elements of each of your respective generations. activism. ok, so firstly i belong to the 1st cohort of the born fees. you know, the generation that was just born after democracy in south africa. and i think for a large, you know, to a large extent, our activism is really centered in crowded around, holding our democratic governments accountable. right? hoping for

a significant change in the living conditions of use and just the population more broadly. so we do borrow a lot from the anti party struggle in terms of the music, the songs of kind of the struggles songs that you thing. and also some of the old amazing and mobilizing strategies. you know, we really don't focus in terms of mass space movement, bullying. and this is quite evident with the feasible full student poses across 26 institutions of higher learning, which for university students demanding for free p colonized high education. but of course, you know, the success of moments such as seas before, a large, the attributed to digital and online activism. and how that has also helped us in terms of shaping our own narrative spirit. you know something about that. but what would you like to add? yeah, kinsey, we grew up in the age of technology, the world of social media. and that came with a lot of benefits in terms of with mobilizing people internationally. and

especially now during a pandemic. what social media is also brought is lots of inclusivity because you moving away from just said mainstream media narrative and embracing a diverse range of narratives and you getting to include so much more within your activism. so i think the inclusivity that social media has brought has been a key and defining factor with kinsey. so that for the most recent use led to mass movement towards fisma fall, which as you mentioned earlier, was the fight to you know, gain wide access for free. and d, colonized tissue education. what do you think it was about that movement? kids you meant that that made it resonate so widely with our generation. i think a big part of fees mer for beyond issues of x is, was really holding government accountable to say, to what extent are you prepared to sacrifice. busy an upcoming generation of young

leaders and activists, purely on the basis of you know, keeping or be deliberate about keeping it commodified as a capital, as a racist system that continues to marginalize and exclude lex students specifically from institutions of higher. i mean, there, are you about 12 or 13 when this was unfolding on the news media, what did it mean for you on a personal level to see young people really, you know, rise up on such a mass scale. it was really inspiring and is watching history unfold red before my eyes. and while i didn't understand how the, how complex the issue was back there and i understood the surface level of it. but diving into activism, the fees must, will activist. so one of the most inspiring activists that i look up to, i mean, the fact that some of them are still in jail to this day fighting for cause they believe in just shows how empowered they were and how inspired angry and passionate

they would give you permission to be angry as well? yes. 100 percent. and like i said before, that anger just ignited passion to stand up and fight me. kid, do miss your as you t, should you the found a, in fact of the black women's caucus, which among the many mandates you have is looking into eradicating gender based violence. can you talk to me about the myriads of violence? is that so african women, right? now, of the thing, i mean, when you speak about in the base violence, of course, you know, the most needed understandings around sexual and physical forms of violence. you know, and this is, and this makes sense. i mean, south africa is seen as a rape capital globally, not a pretty take to have and by the way, our famous side rate is 5 times higher than the global average. right. and so, understanding around in the balance and famous that has really been within that conceptual framework. however, as black women coke of,

we're saying that it is it the surface for us to reduce gender based violence and famous side to only physical and sexual forms of violence. you know, political violence, economic violence, environmental violence, social violence, all violence is the country peach, the laundry facilities of women. and it's important that when we find solutions and we propose solutions that they must be multi problems and they must be classical so that they're able to address the sources of violence. so can you give me an example of what that work looks like or how you bring the solution to the public? of course, a lot of the steps and research than in south africa around in the base islands has attributed to a women's economic participation as a mess of dr. among the ability to gender based violence and famous that so in 2019, on the 13th of september, when we march to the ritual square mile in africa and sent and demanding greater participation from privacy in terms of, you know,

their response to the file and we're ultimately thing you need to also be able to, you need to be held accountable for women's economic vulnerability. because largely when you think about drape and famous, i will always think about it within the confinement of the whole. right. but the moment we made the business issue in economic issue, we're ultimately saying that the continuous subjugation and violation of women number one cuts the south african economy between 20 and 40000000 read annually. right? and that also means that part of our active part of our mobilize ation and advocacy requires us to make structural changes. it looks like you had something 100 percent . it needs systemic change. if you just bringing change on one says this, that's of this is widespread. and in order for structural change to take place and the most effective change take days, it needs to be systemic. it needs to be institutionalized. so only addressing every

level of the problem. yes, 100 percent fair. you started climate warriors and you're a part of the collective movements. tell me what collect movement is and what work you do with them. so the collective movement is a youth delayed into sectional time and group. and we aim to achieve climate justice through social justice and vice versa. so it's a group of young activists. and recently our work has all been on social media and online because we've had demick. so this year we working on climate change through patton african context. so interviewing or having discussions with activists from uganda and kenya, and just broadening our perspective on climate change and how the policy making takes place in different areas around the world and different challenges and coming up with solutions. and then also spreading awareness and advocating and pushing forward the climate,

just as chartered movement to educate as many people on the climate change issue and exposing the intersectionality needed and bringing about inclusive team within the time of justice movement. why do you think specifically in the south african context that climate justice has taken a backseat to other issues such as, you know, the ones that gives him it's and i was talking about. so i think in the past, obviously if you're looking at a pre democratic south africa where people are fighting against the politics, redeem and fighting for liberation, come to change. understandably so is going to take a backseat. when you fighting to be free in your own country. but if you're looking at a post apologies africa when we living in a democracy, i think there's a huge sense of apathy from those impala that firstly, the people in power putting profit before the people we living. and we stuck in this capitalist mindset. another issue is the climate literacy rates in south

africa, extremely low, and that comes down to an educational issue. so apathy and the lack of climate literacy course. what do you think? the intersections between climate, justice and the kinds of justice that you know, your work drives really interesting. hey, i really like the fact that you know, preaching climate justice and social justice. and i think for large, you know, for a long time we've thought about climate justice as a stand alone kind of struggle. you know, it's like sitting in the corner and nobody really wants to deal with. busy it, but what has been very important and has been quite a big eye opener for me myself, isn't as a feminist, is the work we've been doing in formal settlements. and how when you spoke about literacy, environmental literacy. how we still struggling to make the connections at community they will between the environment and social justice claim example,

one of the communities that the work came is called cuff, that a parking formal settlement for water and sanitation breakdown in infrastructure. and just listening to you. i can already see, you know, how climate just fits into that, right. but i do believe that to a large extent, the climate justice movement has positioned itself as quite a white lead to movement, right? it has struggled to deal with the very concrete conditions that an ordinary person in south africa facie. but i think in a country like south africa, we need to be able to who and ground ideology and advocacy in the lived experiences of people on a day to day basis. what do you say to this climate change for the longest time has seemed like a very privileged issue. if i'm struggling to put food on my plate, why should i care about the quality? why should i care about little on the beach? and i think that come down to the needful climate,

conscious media and was kind of conscious media inclusivity. so looking at climate change across the world. and also understanding that solutions that may work in the west on going to work in africa for various reasons. we have different economies, different policies, different governments, different histories, it just would fit. and i think was very vital when looking at climate justice and time of change is looking at it through an intersection. so instead of separating environmental factors and the social factors, bridging them together because common justice and social justice intensity linked together to bring about positive change by tackling one. that solution is going to affect the other in either positive or negative way depending on what the solution is. so if you're looking at time a change geographically, climate change is going to disproportionately affect poorer black communities. so

within your activism, you need to take within climate activism, you need to take into account classism, racism, sexism, homophobia, flu, ample. it's a natural disaster. we're to strike those communities would be most vulnerable. and if you look at the way society treats those communities now imagine how much was it's going to be when a due to natural disaster is needed and needs to be brought to those communities. so advocating for human rights, you can pick and choose no form of oppression exists and isolation. i wonder what you both think, you know, the possibility of achieving your ideas and what a just world looks like. what do you think the implications of deliver them has on the work that you do get them into what i'm picking up and said capitalism, inheritance lee, you know, glorifies the individual, its limitations. however,

in activism is that activism is not a one man show. greg and unfortunately, capitalism has created and is continues to co opt civic action and civic and civic interventions and presents them as one man shows. right? we have the model that comes out, you know, this, you know, this infinite sensation that comes out and is going to save the world. you know, i think what that does is that breaks down organic movement building strategies, right? i don't think we have any strong tangible movements that are being, you know, that are being nurtured, but instead what we're seeing with the individual acts of as rising and listen, i'm not saying it's a bad thing to have the popstars of a movement image. they're important, they keep the movement fun in dynamic, but i do think it's important that we lose our activism in communities because he's alternative realities every once you know the empty capitalist reality that we want

to send minutes into sexual reality that we want is not going to be fostered by an individual, it needs an active, you know, it needs from a collective in order to drive that mandate. and i think this is some of the critiques of capitalism infiltrating cervical activist work, you know, 100 percent community community based change is the most sustainable and effective change in the long. and if you're looking at capitalism in a capitalistic world, the most ideal position you can be in right now is to be a white man. and that breaks down so much, it breaks down the feminist movement. it breaks down any movement laid by women. capitalism breeds the system of inequality. it's always going to be if i'm winning someone else's losing. and like you said, it's a very individual, a glorified individual work. and that is extremely problematic. it's also very

problematic to have one face represent a home. and because it excludes people that don't match that face that don't match the demographic. so yeah, definitely not carbon capitalism is the main cause to climate crisis. sorry. can i just add onto that? you know, i mean, i'm reflecting, reflecting such an important aspect of growing and as active as we should never stop reflecting. and when i think about, you know, the 2 parties movement. firstly, i know for a fact that many people who participated in those movements and those forms of resistance were not participating because they were individuals that they were idolizing is because they felt a strong sense of, you know, personhood. i mean, the issues affecting me directly. therefore, i need to actively participate in finding the solutions. and i think you know, the idea of the glorifying, of the individual grubs as of that. and i think our communities of v to hold is

grounded to hold that accountable. and to make sure that we are working and living within the ideals of the, of the movements that we represent. well, i guess in closing, i'm curious if he, if it's not clear so far what you both hope to achieve and if you feel optimistic about, you know, being able to actually use those things, keep them at the i will, perpetual optimist. firstly as a disclaimer. so i definitely do think things will get better. i do think that, you know, we need to intensify our demands and struggles, but also change on size of, of oppression and fighting. right. i think so many times you know, what activism and how we traditionally, you know, activism to be said, we take to the streets right to get our messages across. and although that is important, we also need to see some radical advancement and transformation in the policy in

covenant cia's right. so as black women coco's, you know, at the heart of the solutions that we propose as a social movement, is the realization and strengthening of feminist movements, which are going to foster feminist leadership. we need to see any mentions of new radical feminist leaders. really shaping the world to where we want to take it. right. and i honestly believe that we've got the right energies. we've got the minds, we've got the heart and this do it. like i said, any as climate and diety. and the only thing i can thing on to the covenant is optimism towards the future. it drives me to constant the wake up and make the decision that this is what i'd like to change. and this is way, you know, that could be the change one to see an advocate for the change that you'd like to see. so i think the main goal is to just did the same urgency that we're carrying today with sending that to the hearts of our government. and i need to ship to

demand a common emergency and to attack all of the social issues that we've unpacked today . because once again, social justice is climate justice and vice versa. so i think unification needs to do a case like today, between the generations and just, you know, keep the energy donated di, i feel going up with social media. you see activism turns into a trend and it reads a lot of performance of activism and every year and every month there's a new hash tag and something use trending. and, and so treating activism and social issues as a trade make it, keeping that advocacy along constant action that lives in your heart. sarah, thank you so much for joining me and innovation change

across the world. young activists and organizes around them of the motivated and politically engaged the challenges they face couldn't be more daunting here. and we were the one who had life on what was going on in the way that will mean media. then there's looking stuff like that, both of them, and there's always in a dynamic formation, we have the agent to create the vibe of the generation chain on al jazeera, a warm welcome for iran to 8 and president elect in his hometown of mash at the image. of the shrine crowd had gathered to hear what their newly elected leader abraham, right. you have to say on the issues that affect the job shuttle in domestic politics, domestic policy and foreign policy. the focus should be on the dignity of this nation. and the focus should be on the fact that in any negotiation, the dignity of this nation should not be hers is already made large with promises

including fighting corruption, improving the country's economy and maintaining iran best interest in negotiations the wes, but it's not clear yet. if you will be able to deliver on his promise the . ready news hello, i'm darn jordan into the pick reminder the top stories here now to 0. the number of corona virus deaths in argentina as the past 100000. it's the 5th latin american country to go over that figure. 640 new death recorded in the past 24 hours. but infection rates of falling as more people get vaccinated. theresa bo has more going as iris federal. why should fit ada? he's trying to recover from the loss of her parents. they both died of course, 19 order.
