men lost their lives in a lot of muslim fina we also had this year attacks against christians spiritual look at the exodus of the christian population from oh sorry but this attack on a mosque and you call it the first time with a mosque is attacked and richer and the president has promised a bortle response what do you think he means by that. whereas once again has much left to do because he already is uprooting the wall already going on is not a china. air force blown from positions in the north sinai but this is also not the first time so one wonders what the president can really do which is already begun to emerge and there is of course that there are many really . again proving again and again that they can not get this area under control. well we know looking at these pictures that the attack occurred as worshipers were

attending friday prayers cream painted a picture of what it would have been like at the last today. when there is conflicting reports some of them said that there's a bomb that exploded the most skilled people were escaping and were there were fired upon. other reports that basically the most course surrounded by. men and they were started firing to the most given it people. feel they must have had a lot of time because there are also reports that they fired upon the ambulance because the trying to approach the most good order to. injure people so it must've taken quite a long time until the forces are right there or the militants were forced to be all right and absolutely tragic situation for those people karim algo hari thank you for being with us today from cairo.

a new united nations report says a third of women in the world have been subjected to violence either in their relationship or sexual violence from people outside their relationship secretary general antonio terrace has initiated a campaign called night with the goal of a lead in violence against women by the year twenty thirty years ago terrorists what's more it is time to further our collective action to end violence against women and girls for good that takes all of us working together in our own countries regions and communities at the same time and towards the same goal the united nations is committed to addressing violence against women in all its forms violence against women is fundamentally about power it will only end when gender equality and full empowerment of women will be a reality. well for more i'm joined now in the studio by ron john my company she's

from arabic service and originally from syria i want to look with you for a second at a scene from a program that a colleague of ours jaafari karim was filming recently and this took place in jordan and we can pull the clip up now we've got a woman who's trying to speak out there a lot of sexual harassment that she is exposed to every day and watch what happens it's in arabic but. vehemently attacked by a politician in jaafari hannele who calls her a liar and says she's giving a false image of what life in jordan is like now unlike most of our viewers you can actually understand what's going on here are you surprised by what you're seeing or is this really par for the course. fun think that some people who has this mentality they hide themselves they are not going on public so this is maybe surprised me that one of the politician he is i think he is the member in the

parliament also he just gone on t.v. and talk in this heat i think hate speech so that's sort of the surprise and he was telling her what exactly that she shouldn't be speaking out and he said that first he said that you are not jordanian and then you are. you are just i want to make sure and then he said stop talk about the by the name of the woman in jordan because this is not true you are distort the image of jordan and then you are a liar and then you just start to tell him the ok you have to respect all my guests or you have to leave and then thank you and then he left the studio so this is a really clear cut case of someone trying to shut down women's voices but the reality of violence and sexual harassment for women in the middle east is often a lot less obvious a lot less clear cut what one of your experience has been actually. sometimes woman and our board if i can say not even all the middle east because i don't. think you

can really out through here so women they some of them they didn't know that the harassment is like a crime they they think this is a normal thing they they can face the everyday in the street and this is normal and also a lot of men think this is the right because if you are some times if you are just walking in the street without even if you are having a headscarf or even sometimes niqab that you are walking in the street so this is my right to harassing you because you are just show me your body or show me you are you yourself so this is also i think and the other hand that woman them so they didn't they think ok maybe because of me maybe because i wear something not covered good so they all was like find. excuses for people who are her and they weigh them selves up you know how do you combat that it sounds so pervasive.

actually i don't know but maybe because of the tradition because the way that they grow up and also something surprising on social media when you can see some girl saying oh talk about her experience women themselves in comments say that you maybe because a few you did something wrong so this is also something. sometimes it's really surprising because when you are a woman and you have the same fear experienced you can understand that sometimes you didn't do anything and even if you are wearing whatever you want this is not the right of the others to try resting you can be tough to speak ramaj are lacking from my colleague from need obvious arabic service thank you for being with us thank you i want to be clear this is an issue that goes far beyond the arab world it's not an issue of arab countries or some western countries or rich or versus poor by once against women as a problem all over the world and so in honor. the un's international day for the elimination of violence against women we wanted to vote some time today talking

about the broader causes and some solutions i'm joined now via skype by louisa carballo she's the u.n. women's regional director for the americas and the caribbean it was a thanks for being with us on news we're just seeing a new u.n. report that shows violence against women is particularly serious in latin america why is that. thank you very much for having us as it is everything is on the cruise but also we have to consider other things that are causing on the region where we have done for to consider that we did this the decision was that the heart of our group of laws that has been so comprehensive and so second generation the second season is that we have also improved the quality of our data gathering the information that says that it might be the case also that we had never seen the highest mobilization of women peddling and is doing. a good

prior name and so it's out to create a momentum now so. to have the quality and number of group of. people that didn't want to do the designing they are going to but we know that this is not yet we have not yet we are not there yet to the data has to be grouped said it's hard to be proved a more than it is the nature of the culture and because of civilization of girls and boys we have to to reduce these are things because they have done because in the last twenty years really informal movement in the region has achieved so much and we have been able to organize ourselves a message may be able to change or to set up the design so i relax and produce we or do not see the region can we preserve very big conservative conservative conservative or to take a very conservative movement

a day when trying to really make sexual and reproductive rights policies in many countries to live a sexual education ok we really are going to have a siren i never realized for interrupting the quality of the wind just isn't good enough i'm having a really hard time understanding and i think our viewers are as well we do apologize and we thank you for your time and for attempting to speak with us today that's always a collar she is a u.n. women's racial director for the americas and the caribbean. ok well we do have now jenny wrong she is the managing editor of the swedish magazine feminist perspective jenny a lot of people when they think of sweden they imagine a country that has really strong gender equality is a violence against women a problem that you're seeing there in sweden well yes actually i think that. we need to realize that no no come true in the world equal yet and

violence is something that upholds inequality and power structures so we of course have violence against women. we also something interesting about the nordic countries in comparison in the european perspective is that. we have high level of equality and also high level of violence compared to the countries we've seen you know a lot of online campaigns recently like this need to hash tag will women say i also was a victim of sexual assault they're getting a lot of attention right now do you think they're having a real concrete effect. yes i do think so because i think sometimes it can be even. more there's a nother kind of stigma in a context where you're supposed to be free you're supposed to be equal you're

counted as one of the most equal countries in the world and there are efforts made to come back to violence against women so then it's even more sometimes stigma to admit that you have been subjected to something like that and i think that. sometimes. what we have seen and the government who has also analyzed is that most of the efforts made now have been focused very much on saving that women from islands but what we also have to do and speaking about what the women have to do to become equal and to become free but we also have to speak about preventing crime and and most of the efforts have been in forms of projects and then when the project this over the knowledge about how to combat violence has not been forward at so i think there's

a lot of. action that needs to still be done and and of course every time you start a new effort it will take time before it have has impact also especially in prevention but it's i think there is the campaigns always generate new. new action so this is very positive in the u.s. recently we've seen a wave of naming and shaming of sexual abusers in recent weeks are you seeing anything similar happening in sweden. yes i think that maybe sweden is the country where the me to campaign have had maybe the most impact we see groups of professions who are stand lighting up together and making statements. witnessing about abuse they have been subject to in their workplaces

and test been there like in like a snowball effect that it's been just growing and growing and just yesterday evening the swedish academy. has to come out with a statement they are going to give out the nobel prize soon and there's this is a really symbolic power institution with the cult of the genius and everything like that and the and they have been collaborating with a man who has been named and shamed for. abuses even now in. the swedish academy the discussion what has come out of it is they are they are breaking all the collaboration they are not financing the this man anymore and also so his power is going to fall and also the swedish academy is

going to investigate themselves their own so it sounds like you're having some real consequences that you're describing with the swedish academy jenny wrong and we thank you so much for being with us today on the news and sharing your feminist perspective. in two thousand and four some toya brown was a sixteen year old american girl and a victim of sex trafficking today she's a twenty nine year old woman serving a life sentence in prison her crime was shooting and killing one of the men who purchased her for sex she was trying to as an adult in the u.s. state of tennessee and she was given a life sentence back in two thousand and eleven dan berman made a documentary about her situation but then the whole thing just kind of faded from memory recently though some toy story has come back into the spotlight more about that in a minute but first needs into

a brow. beat my oh my. oh my. wow. wow. wow. sleazy. i know. this is a kid who had some experience and. things happen to her and it wasn't just a little bad thing but it was it was a lot of. she. herself to get involved with one. thing.

why would you. throw me away for the reason. why. the. rose clips are from dan berman's documentary film facing a life entirely a story he joins us now from past and dana dan thanks for being with us it's really great to have you on the program was it let's be clear right off the bat that some toy admits that she killed this guy the issue isn't if she did it or not it's the length of the sentence that she was given to tell us why is it unusual. to be clear choices guilty or words she knows that she she never denied that so that was not that's never an issue so later the issue deletes of the sentence becomes an issue actually began again in two thousand and five when the supreme court of the united states started seeing a change of being and that of our laws of how we treat jewels of the jewel justice

system without having to without i'm not an attorney obviously but i do know the laws pretty well the laws now make it impossible for us to treat or make it difficult for us to treat juveniles as adults but sent to it was treated as an adult she was given an adult sentence of sixty seven years for her crime now this documentary they made it's six errors old why is it coming back into public consciousness all of a sudden. obviously this is a time that word sexual abuse is resonating in america it's this is unfolding on a on a nightly basis were airing new cases every day it's not ok to be used to people and this is becoming a very hot news item the a news station in nashville decided to do a story and since it was the team that's fighting for clemency for sin toyah and

when they did that the story got out that story then was was put on instagram by various artists all around america yeah we've seen a lot of celebrities taking ups and toy is causing among them was really on a let's see if we can pull up what she wrote on instagram she was speaking about and toya and she wrote something is horribly wrong i want to system enables these rapists and the victim is just thrown away for a life we also saw the british model slash actress cara delevingne writing on instagram that the justice system is backward she said this is completely insane and even the reality star kim carr dash and got on twitter and said you know we have to do better and do what's right crashing out of should call the her attorney to say what could be done to quote fix this dan i'm wondering do you think the car dash in legal team is going to have any effect on some toys fate. yeah i don't

know the answer because i'm not part of the legal teams i know that. since lawyer has competent legal representation in tennessee i'm certain that anybody who's stepping up to the plate to help will be in touch with her attorneys and they will have that conversation when was the last time you spoke to us and why and how does she feel about all of us becoming an issue again. scinto is or is rather pragmatic i spoke with her actually as recently as today she's rather pragmatic about this she the media attention that she's seeing or that she's hearing about she's not seeing much of his she is after all a president she's heartened that the the whole conversation about sexual abuse and then sex trafficking is coming to the surface she doesn't see this as a.
