anybody could julia as the name you're welcome to the show it was all tears of joy in major breakthrough in botswana as the country's high court's decriminalised almost sexuality activist said when the judgement was read out until today on the books one this until gay laws offenders could be jailed for up to 70 years reading out their highly anticipated verdicts the judge said sexual orientation is human it's not a question of fashion class making a strong case for human equality nondiscrimination we'll be talking to an activist in a moment but fast let's take a look at the daily hardship that face force one as the gay community. today's judgment matters to tuttle gain see more than most and we are corrupt botswana's 1st gay rights organization he hopes this will be

a defining moment seeing homosexuals treated equally in every decent tuitions. so he says that we require men that somnus is there not a will in for good government has been holding be those negative comments say to you so we want to be free to act as they see this is through the charity leg of tata when the team fight for l.g.b. to write and provide vital support to the country's past security of gay community he has some encourage meant for others struggling with their own sense of self-worth. that will have to be true that everybody deserves to be hip they were they should embrace who they are. and. accept life as it is because if you don't as accept yourself there's no one in the community can accept you after today perhaps society's acceptance will know come

a little easier joining me now from what's one of our governor on is. brilliant cody hello brilliant nice to have you here now you were in accords room when the ruling was made exactly what was going through your mind at the moment. i was going through a lot of mixed emotions i was really in she has to take high and you want to know what this is the indie sites and when this is the i'm all when they're quote who. i was trucked in as well as excited at the same time so i must say it really was a day of mixed emotions but mostly excitement. now what does this ruling mean today community in botswana this ruling means so much to us this ruling means that family not country are equal we feel

confident as well because now they think that there are actuated you dust up white house for us that's honest then the curfew dense not that i had to retreat to not see our motto. we really feel as the quote is like an ordinary adam what's on we actually know that would you know what's on the line who are now in more than half of. the $54.00 african countries homosexuality is still illegal what do you envisage for the future of the l.g. v.d.i. q community especially after the news that you had today. what i envision is us writing history quests there on time taken away from us or that for a long time what's kept this secret from us because i also would distend that more

sexuality is very much you know. i'm a sick child it is very much i think ken and it's about time that now we busy actually. reclaim this and continue from the way when we were promised continual yes. now you sort of set of bits for my final question was because many people would see homosexuality on african but you see it is african after all as i was i what your position is if. it. is in the ditch and it's about time we created you get out of commission and the city that really didn't you say that for a long time has been kept away from us so the terrorists only now. tens of you know that also include you find how the future looks like and this is only had.

ok brilliance cody swan is capital gaborone. activist thanks for your time. now to a story about correctional services for teenagers in nigeria thousands are in prison for us awaiting trial and many prisons are overcrowded cameras are usually not welcome there but my colleague funny for you see the access to the correctional facility for juvenile offenders. in ogun states take a look. there as young as 14 juvenile offenders briefly allowed outside the facility and under close watch we met one of them we will call him ty he's cutting back we see his stories all too common. john's senior for. reporters are usually not in nigeria and prisons they are known for being notoriously overcrowded we are given a rare access by

a guidance counsellor who works at the facility he wants the conditions to improve this juvenile prison was built for 200 inmates it currently holds almost twice that number of possibility just moments for such people useful if they feel both people will want to keep falling victim to a time surviving movie journeys of the economy gets that means there is very little space 35 people share this cell they call their hostel and just one shower so it's clearly overcrowded and yes is it sort of crowded on your fancy for you know. dogs it's a wild card and there is not much to do not enough teachers lack of adequate locational training to prepare for a life outside but what they miss the most is something else. here they are men tells me has been locked up for a year for drug related crime others are here for murder rape or some petty crime

the goal is to make them better nigerians but the government's resources are stretched. use of shows me the library it's too small and is in need of renovation the school books are outdated. you don't like it because if you don't good kind of no need to need to be doing. true do one direction that means once released many end up hanging out on the street and getting involved in crime again but today should be about positivity where the government's efforts fall short and seek to fill the gap. is being given out to $385.00 students of. the special day because music these days supposed to be about. to restore hope if children.

thank you so much. thank you for having me. the government needs to do more absolutely the government needs to be intentional about what she wants for the future of the young ones in one cheer because the crime for rate is increasing i mean that the rate of crime right now is on the increase and the juvenile offenses is becoming. so the government needs to do more the government needs to put in policies new supporting programs need to do a lot to call this offenses happening. we're talking about offenses but also one of the big situations is overcrowding what is the core of overcrowded juvenile prison facilities. the caught the crowd in is the fact that the increase in crime rates keeps increasing

and doors are we to try o's need to be attended to speedily the government needs to do all they can to make sure that the young ones the young offenders who are awaiting trials should be attending to instead of just kept there for a very long period of time without being attended to and then the poverty rate also is on the increase and family instability can lead to this overcrowding happening right now in the facilities because a lot of the children are going into crimes and it's like it's a combination of many different factors that can make this situation better now while the iron prison go on yes those in prison be better managed by the government and other stakeholders there's a lot of blame on the government. how can we manage this better. well they can manage it by putting a lot of programs to create awareness so the young offenders nor the consequences

of what they actually going into so what they can do is make sure they put in more programs to create awareness of consequences for these crimes and lead them one to stand that i mean none of them will be spared if they go into such then also they can create a lego system that cannot tend to cases on the ground that might not need to pay for that long at the facilities and also create an. all welfare for those who might have been convicted one you know how to reintegrate them back into society they have any. solutions and no modern state court needs our father and thank you for having me thank you thank you. so from our africa you can catch all our stories on our web site on the facebook page. decriminalizing with actuality leave you now with these pictures of gay pride celebrations of course to come to. lovely to see
