good job it is. your link to school for the world our link to exceptional stories and discussion on the use of easy our website d w 2 comes to join us on facebook at w. place. you want to make the goal so we're doing our shooting over there in the big oh you're doing passing ok are you doing. oh so you think the boys can only watch monica stop and say mrs sora are having a football training session with 60 goes on girls only. school classmates in

gambia in west africa and it's a challenge in many ways in this album and this is how to keep a good eye on the ball so much that they don't disappear sneered sydney show that can happen pretty fast then of a common need. to go. you have to be able to get the law. football is not just from a. german has been fighting her whole life to make sure that that's true 1st in her home country and then all over the world now in gambia here like everywhere the boys are reluctant to give up the pitch where they usually play. out do you want here for playing so go on please. go should realize that they can do what the boys

can to. find us and so this must be my that's what we hope to do in this we want to give the girls that feeling that they can score goals they can feel proud of and i think the boys already learned that when they're young they have these successes and feelings early on when they get praise and positive feedback you can tell the children are laughing and simply happy that increases their self-awareness and self-confidence and that's something everyone needs to get through life even superior i want you to get out quickly. you know we had 9 balls before another only 2 for. what the laws are where all the other more. you can see it's impossible to train and keep track of your balls at the same time but that's africa football for girls was taboo here for a long time same place for gambia at the under 17 world cup in 2012 and scored one of their 2 goals maybe qualifying for the world cup was

a huge achievement for the small country i don't know how i went to how it was if you don't. stop playing football he was abducted not depressed. we have babies because we have more you know we stand so now we want to walk and this activist and i did a set time for him to do the long term pleasure because we have a lot of time when it comes to use. with the school children monica wants to lay the groundwork for the development of women's football. cumbia a small strip on the atlantic coast surrounded by neighboring senegal is africa's smallest country its hard to around $2000000.00 inhabitants and is a young democracy until recently gambia was under a dictatorship plagued by human rights violations it's a country in a state of social change want to stop has already spent time in 80 different countries now she wants to spend 2 years here helping the country's development.

in the year of development aid worker or however you want to call it. by trying to have the feeling in the end that i did everything i could to thinking feeling. possible. in this building 6 the gambia for the federation nothing like the powerful german football association. germany's ministry of foreign affairs and the german lympics sports confederation. have offered the gambian federation help and sent their most experienced help monika stop in germany she was the most successful women's football coach of the time. 4 championships fights german cup wins the 1st european championship for a german team she left her mark on the players and the sport. she helped women's

football looked down upon rarely taken seriously become socially accepted. 11 years ago she decided she'd had enough with being president and coach at frankfurt the dominant german women's team in the ninety's she began a 2nd career as a development aid worker for women's football around the world. mostly in countries where women's rights are not a high priority she fights for gender equality not only in football but in life. as a national coach in arabic countries like bahrain qatar her job was about sporting success but also giving the young women this self-confidence to have fun playing football despite all the obstacles. jordan could just on all the cook islands in 2014 she was on it as the german

football ambassador of the air. with long term projects in 29 countries she has made quite an impact now she's on to gambia. oh. i'm meeting with the president of the gambia football federation. so it's about a project to bring football to goals in the elementary school curriculum. and it's. it ends in the woman's world development and the pashtun. she has the disease and then the dr and the north foster i mean most of all of you are much younger but we cannot be going to move house speed and i think that's what we need people who are far behind i mean you really need some and if i might be able to who would be able to stop

a 60 years old say me sorra is 20 for the next 2 years the 2 women are a team same evolved integrity and ditto football career early for the past year she's been working as the coordinator of women's football in gambia. samy is still young but she wants to learn. in 2 years with me c definitely will learn a lot to know it's fun to lead the fight for the time being it's just a battle you can't win the whole war demeans the nation. the preparation time for the next training their colleagues found an electric pool pump but how it works remains a mystery. to you to leave it to the express. you're working here and there just standing there and watching a typical division of labor perhaps it's a question of bringing. the world at the ball not there we go

you know this is a training field for the 1st division women's team abu car united one of the stop is leading the training today saying you see sora offsets. its own former team. today this court meets her new partner. they know what monica stop is doing for women's football in that country. was not what the morning. i mean he. was. god. god god. god.

wanted to stop what's not installed next toss a public relations in a television interview with paradise t.v. a nationwide channel in gambia. in the 30 minute talk show the women can tell the public about their project and gain some attention. it's the 1st step. is. moving. on to the next step at a school in back in july until now only the boys have been playing football here is supposed to change. monica has to convince the school director and teachers but who will finance the project someone who i get the ball rolling. as in most places in gambia social change doesn't happen overnight.

i try to lead the 1st sparks but they have to keep the fire burning i can't do it all i can't change my own but i can show them the way and give them some tips. preparation for a 3 day seminar a group of elementary school teachers want to find out more about women's football . ok samy and monica put on the event with funds from the german ministry of foreign affairs and olympic sports confederation. we learned a lot in germany about women football and fighting for women's football so now i'm outside germany and i want to give all my knowledge to everybody who wants to listen once to i want to put all the stakeholders in one table football is so shit school education ministry use in sports. i'm sure talk more later thank you.

you. know before. you wage that i was not allowed to play and german the f.a. . made it in the protocol of the search. i remember that day and this is yes no women. born 60 years ago indeed some back monica star was the youngest of 3 sisters her father was a baker and a huge football fan who had been hopeful for a son still his youngest daughter picked up his favorite sport. was always there my father was always watching football and i think he really wished he had a son after the 3rd attempt they quit trying so i somehow ended up being raised like a boy i used to fight with the boys in kindergarten i remember a story

a mother once came to my house and complained to my mom that i beat up her boy and ripped his pants my mother said well she must have had her reasons all the boys respected me. girls teams didn't exist that's why the 11 year old monica just played with the grown up women she was self-assertive talented and hard working on the pitch. is age 11 i wasn't really aware of what women's football really meant. that came later when i was 13 maybe when we played a pretty match with often in front of 30000 spectators. and then all of a sudden the stupid comments came trade you jerseys can i take a shower with you and i thought what's their problem. roles didn't apply in her family but society will still fall behind. me but i'm happy to

introduce me. to star you both told me to introduce you as women not to girls now i must ask you must both be under 20 right you would it's one thing. i'm 18 and why is it important to you that you are called women. being blunt. it's not that important to me. since my dues 2 of the most competent important players on the teams that's a fault for the german ladies all women's championship today i'm i supposed to say ladies a women's championship. the association decided it's called ladies championship i like that and in the background we have a couple of pictures that have to do with the amounts of patient of women in sport . that i say it was definitely a long and rocky road for the pioneering work we did over the years we had to constantly battle to prove ourselves i think we won in the end in 2003 the 1st

world cup we won was at 7 o'clock on a sunday evening against sweden 15000000 people were watching the show so here the battle continues in a different country the role of women in gambia is similar to that in germany in the seventy's. has a go or woman to play football is far from the norm teachers have to learn to play the sport so they can then teach their female pupils. i'm. not using the ball. not happy we want to make what they're doing and we want to make them shut up shop they're always ready for. it's true. and to be found out. she was. yeah and it's one of them to them she can use and she's very innocent. so what do you

know easy now they. have no time or place for boredom. football can be a lot of work but still be fun the method. the 1st day of the seminar he's a success. at home with. monica get along very well they share the same outlook on a lot of things family is well off in comparison to many they own their house thanks to say nice late father saini and her sisters were not raised with

traditional gender roles they were raised to be independent. he wanted to play football and was allowed to unlike many other girls in gambia. yeah you know i don't play because you have seen that out i don't know what we were but i always say this but if i had been the man most of the day it was the old to do something busy you have the passion i feel women and men can understand because if you look at education you said a. woman going to university men's with university if you look at them. i mean women are doing it at pylos now so i don't see any difference to men playing. so

if they want to eventually date so i don't see any difference. the following day. many important discussions are lined up. first thing in the morning a meeting at the city hall in bangor via skype and so with the newly elected mayor . in her monica start and saying the story of how to win over an important supporter it proves to be an easy task the 3 women share the opinion more must be done for gender equality and women's football. and their next appointment is with the minister for youth sports they have to convince decisive influential figures about their project for bringing girls football into the schools when i stop and say mrs surratt that element i think you don't want.

to. let me in on. the minister say he will support very endeavor but he's spoken approval is far from enough. feel there's a lot of talk what really happens in the end and what we're able to put into place is unclear i don't know if i'll really a come. our goal but i will work towards it. started evie a channel which is only viewable on social media the next interview about the project. every activity that we can do to help us gain the public's awareness is a must this missile and for to all. of the above. this yes. this is

the. ocean. a working day for monica is often 18 hours long the. next visit has been promised for a long time. and. the children to gaze orphanage have been looking forward to seeing monica i'm saying meet. girls of all ages live here. fatu guy runs a clinic which is funded by donations. she's a midwife and here she houses 60 children. a strong woman's place for women. who are. then you educated 111 man the kid one class and then you the kid one room when

you get to the mission or is that. the fifty's is the orphans all girls to took them all in here. she takes such good care of them make sure they have enough to eat so that they go to school and tries to be like a foster mom. says i'm. training with samy and monica is the highlight of their week. the. world. class. and on it goes.

the independent stadium can be as largest arena a performance by the police marching band in anticipation of the men's football super cup final but 1st the women get to play. league champions versus the winners of the cup. a must see. the eventful moniker stop and say nice is already but not many fans have showed up yet. come to fork and i'm sorry more people will still come to see the men play but also get to see a bit of the women's game that's great and it's good advertisement for the women that will get. the stadium holds 40000 spectators and about 100 have come to see the women's game. has seen it all before the women's german cup final in

2002 took place preceding the men's game to a similarly empty stadium. she was coach of an important generation of female players to get prints. for. 5 german cup wins in a rugby team but they had to fight hard to win society's respect. yeah i mean here they are on the right track. the standard of the game is improving . this match sees red school paeans up against and teria. i the players definitely don't hold back. no one can accuse the women of playing squeamishly or treading too lightly. i go hard for match ends to no 4 and terry are the team of the police. easy. to get.

in the end the prominent role models present the trophy in this giant stadium. another step forward for the women's game in gambia one day they fear it's a experience so many precious and moving things here that they hardly get homesick . at least it's not that bad so she live. the next day is the final day of the seminar for the elementary school teachers. i went back let me ready to do some work. i d.j. sets the mood for the concluding tournament between the peoples the adults have a chance to put everything they learned to use. 84 girls from the

school take part. of it while the teachers plan the sequence of events and organize the games monica can relax and have some fun. she organized the t. shirts the polls and the equipment. the teachers have to execute the rest. if everything works they can organize it again at their own schools and get the goals playing football. oh.

this is what monica wants to accomplish it works even without the girls have fun playing football and the teachers learn that this game is not only for the boys you . even doubt it. no that's what you know now to the kids does i think it's important that you give your education again to the next generation i laugh when i'm not anybody i don't i would be improved if it was going to improve my life but i know what i'm going to do and you know my. first small success the next step is to put the school program into place monica continues to fight there's still plenty to do.

there i'm joined by i guess you could call it an adventure but i think of it more like tackling a challenge. of course i'm trying to accomplish something i think that's just my nature and it's what i've done so far in my life this year mostly was success. when i started something i like to see it through until the very end. when he was on the firing of video.

do you know that 77 percent. are younger than 6 of pot. and you know what on this subject the 7 percent we talk about issues. why is african identity so important who better to answer this question for me than some young african so let's talk about the 77 percent and 30 minutes on d w. my abusers the priests.

my ts cops abused as a child by priests at a catholic school in berlin decades later he finally speaks out. many other victims also step forward and yet his abusers haven't been punished to this day now my ts catch is tracking them down in chile in 75 minutes w. . every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word pushed in the cook. rico is in germany to learn german why not come with him simple online on your mobile and free shots of the d w z learning course nikos free german made
