teaching men not to abuse their wives. i'm christine with the welcome to news africa i'm glad. it's a decision that could reshape the world off. of this month's south africa run cost us may get lost to a case at the cost of objects ration for sport she was appealing rules intended to stop female athletes with high to stall string navels from competing in women's track races on monday saw the africa's athletics federation said it would challenge this latest decision but samantha is far from being the only affected runa kenya's muggeridge one boy has also faced questions about her strength of all she's often raced against him and now watch this experience could be brought to a premature end. for most athletes it doesn't get much better than winning an

olympic medal margaret one boy took bronze in the 800 meters behind south africa's superstar when it comes to so many of the 2016 rio games but one boy's successes caused one wanted scrutiny bringing questions about her gender and her very identity. we tend to be we have no room for the least well we know this is the high time we are feeling that because you can't we are just natural we did not know. and that does not at all like the many boys affected by the intersex rules which target female runners with high testosterone levels the idea of a layoff world athletics governing body says the rules are needed to ensure fair competition for women's track events but they've also left intersects athletes in the dark one boy at just $24.00 is now wondering what a future without athletics would look like i'm wanted no i don't want to know about

the make idea because i'd just know that. since i was a small kid and doesn't go knowing that this is my guardian. the idea of a layoff says intersex athletes must reduce their testosterone if they want to continue competing in the female category of their events. perceive in sports top courts despite ruling in favor of the idea of a layoff have concerns about this it said the side effects of hormonal treatment experienced by individual athletes could with further evidence demonstrate the practical impossibility of compliance one boy is in no doubt for me i'm not going to take medication cause i'm not sick. and. even if they're asked now to take medication those are chemicals that you're putting on your board

off which you don't know at the end of it or to come to affect you later the intersex debate is complex mixing sporting questions with those of science ethics and i tend to 3 percent the heart of it's all athletes like one boy who simply just want to race. for more on the story of likes of bring in brusa money from where he is in boston good to see you bruce so we know she won bronze at the 2016 olympics but what more can you tell us about margaret one voice of a 6 korea. years christine. was born in kenya central highlands that's the tone of neary and she came into the limelight when she won a gold medal of the 24 teen idol if junior championships since then she's worked so hard to establish herself at the top level in fact if you ask me she comes 2nd

after this and then you're in the 800 metres world ok speaking off the main i think one thing that can be said is that south african authorities have really been garnering support behind we know that the appeal that they announce is pretty much been headed up by the country's athletics federation but i wanted about whether the kenyan 6 bodies all supporting athletes like moderates and others in kenya. quite frankly not at all in fact last week at the disco band dropped to athletes sprinters from the team that was to represent kenya and the idea if one relays in japan because of having been found to have high levels of testosterone and that's why they had to be dropped but speaking of support they've come out clearly to support or defend the. ruling of the court of arbitration in sport saying that i mean it's been a simmering issue even within their own athletes in kenya who've been complaining

of unfair competition they say they are running against women who have high levels of testosterone and so they had to take the action if officials say that they didn't want to cause a scene traveling with 2 athletes who have high levels of testosterone and or so one of the official said that they hedged to. 12 would conflict with the world body right how many kenyan athletes oppositional affected by the new rules by the i. so far it hasn't been so clear but from these 3 who have been found having high levels of testosterone that is. including one boy and 2 other sprinters were dropped just last week but it's a case that is being looked into especially after the new rules came into effect on may 8th that that little skinny body will still be checking into the athletes and trying to find out who else. is having high levels of testosterone and acting up on

ok money. thank you welcome. the next story takes us to sierra leone way of violence against women is endemic just a few months ago the country declared the soaring levels of rape and national emergency and try to put a stop to this physical and sexual violence has led some organizations to try some unusual approaches we take a look at one that's getting men to go back to school to learn how to stop abusing their wives. didn't sound i hope they why did. i used to meet my wife i would come home late and bang on the door. and walk out without pause. we never sat together and talked there was no peace between us. is where time and time again he beat me for no apparent reason not just because once to boo talking openly

about domestic violence has become commonplace and. ever since male villagers were sent back to school almost all of the husbands here regularly battered their wives just like omar us where i come. from many families life was tell. me i'm always too with you. sometimes i see her you know up with my uncle and i saw how he beat his wife we saw one copy that he did your hold on congress as an adult i did the same to my wife that it will be out. of my. nowadays ammara treats his wife with respect he helps with the housework and accompanies her to the doctor things he never would have dreamt of doing before instead he regularly got drunk and spent time with a girlfriend and beat his wife. but not as you might think. i

lived in fear and i cried a lot i know that it's awful i couldn't leave him because i didn't want my children to suffer. want. to say it was he treated me so girly and had a mistress the crew say he hit. it head on and so well nancy would do for. the photo of. a mother and the others attend her husband's twice a month. mother holding the weather was the. discussions can get he went teachers like a nurse educate students on the necessity of changing their behavior one that's deeply rooted in sierra leone male dominated society. a man is the head of the family he's the breadwinner and has all the rights many see violence against women as a fact of life and poverty makes the situation worse some of them sometimes if men

can't bring home any money then the women ask about food if they don't let up after that and the men get even angrier gets and. also didn't have any money or a job and he beat his wife. now and husband school he learns about gender equality and that his wife is his partner not his property. let him go. i mean i drank and smoked up and then i'd let my frustrations out on her media we if i came home later and my wife was there i would kick the door and off she asked questions i would hit her. we took up the duff. son and his wife hala are carrying water home together. it looks harmonious but however remains traumatized by only experience of abuse. mosul has been helping out at home ever since he joined the husband school is still how is

a wary her memory is. now coming out when he started beating me i just used to hide but then it got so bad that i had to leave for a year now things have got better he doesn't beat me anymore and the children can finally attend school but he still gets in a bad mood and is threatening when he doesn't have money. violence and exploitation were a part of life during sierra leone's decade long brutal civil war in the 1990 s. the country passed a domestic violence law in 2007 punishing abuse by up to 2 years in jail but it's difficult to enforce women's rights even with a special police force designed to assist families and women in particular. women are not given the power in a little do business they don't have the source is like getting moles from bugs into. being said you know that is something to do for this that i am today about

a 1000 men attend the 15 husbands schools in sierra leone when they're accompanied by their partners the sessions are called how mama that's when debate can get heated and loud. but they are dealing with their problems openly and with violence . would signal make out they want to get rich on the idea will moderate we set a good example to our children then perhaps the next generation won't be to its women you see seeing in evolution. it's difficult to change social structures. that have existed for centuries but here in the village. they're trying to do just that. and that is it for now from africa as always you can catch all our stories on our web site at face book page today will leave you with pictures just off the canyon. that new rules
