for the journalist she says her garden is a wonderful place to relax. would mean the mist. leads up to love's written fellow which she needs up to be to speak to. when you do she's 55 he does. even winning when you don't know if they when you don't speak with them. they feet it has to be rude to be left to do speak to and crazy as we need. to.

silvy other guy you're a has always been interested in technical stuff but became a coma cannick in a wonders capital kigali. and i said something very upsetting when he saw me repairing his car he said when you can't do that job but my boss convinced him to give me a chance and in the end he said to the customer look he was so disrespectful to you that your car is back in perfect working order. sylvie is the only female mechanic in the workshop but in fact it's not unusual for women in a wonder to pursue professions generally seen as male domains. 25 years ago the small country in east africa was in the headlines for the most atrocious genocide in recent history. countless women. they were

the ones who rebuilt the country today rwanda has the world's highest number of women in parliament. juliana contend has been a member of parliament for 20 years. they fucked of genocide didn't. play a big role in name. completely distorting what we used to be and. in trying to put up different strategies to cope. and different innovative ways to magnet and some of them were women to conduct man traditional roles in society to cope as a coping mechanism. the 994 genocide still of the shadows the country yet today rwanda is seen as one of the most stable nations in the region. over the border in the democratic republic of congo it's

a completely different picture a bloody war over natural resources has been raging here for more than 20 years women are often the ones who suffer most. this is a typical road in eastern congo the government is doing nothing to improve infrastructure . lawyer for vans for how is the only way to one of the region's many small called her mines. she works for the catholic commission for peace and justice she comes here every week to improve working conditions for the women they pleased to see have they know she cares about their plight. but.

the fact that is what the women are looking for this black substance here is called telling florence explains. how cell phones would not work without the minerals extracted from coal turning it brings an enormous profits worldwide but there's very little left over for the people who actually mine the coal turn. the men who work here forward as rebels but returned exhausted by war. like you know well it's only i'm like you know the war was particularly devastating for the women and i you can imagine life was terrible here until recently when the enemy rebels would come at night and all we could do was run away and when we returned they had plundered everything. into one and i. know things are a little better. the rebels withdrew to the surrounding areas

where the women a trying to make a living from their work in the mines impudence that they have no alternative to leave or make sounds and the next and. most don't earn much more than a dollar a day at least they now have official papers thanks to fly zones for the high tech . the women can work more efficiently with new tools to. this is what they used before. so from some of these women know that we can change things if we stick together. but it's very difficult because many people have no sensibility for the suffering of others and devote. a whole works tirelessly to enable people in eastern congo to reach the standards of living that the region's wealth allows.

to this minimum a pansy a trauma therapist also regularly does her rounds in the eastern kohli's villagers . she helps victims of mass rape and atrocity systematically used as a weapon of war. as a victim your heart aches and it is no longer a human heart and. tears listens to all the stories the cutter was held captive by rebels for 6 months. also the whole time they hardly gave us any food. committee that they hit us and raped as morning and evening. when 100 finished the other came and the next one then the next one. i want as many people as possible to know about it all the way.

there are no exact figures on how many women were degraded like this probably hundreds of thousands when you listen to these. sometimes your bar lists your nice words to. feel to share compassion to the people. but you just stay be listening to them. then. i think it's my only way of supporting because it's horrible to see how human beings can react can behave like. adult women are not the only victims girls suffer too. like. her family tormented her for years and told her that she was a witch. what

have you drawn there asks terry's the person who burned me i want them to be burned too says the little girl. the been rejected by the community they seek my parents nice big act used this outfit for a few school violence and all of the years be a very small children they are still it's really been needs to gain confidence in 2 people. at least was held responsible for all the bad things that happen to have family and was made to suffer horribly. the wounds left on their legs by molten plastic are still painful. in their cabana house outcast children can find protection. in a play they express the cruelty they experienced. and

this is playing a nasty mother. has of course long we don't want parents to blame their challenger and they should be there for them love them and listen to them to. get them up. this is what she tells tears. and then the 14 year old blurts out that she really believes that she is a witch after her aunt was killed in an accident. but. to his promises to help her. sometimes the therapist feels alone to actually we usually feel the the wards who don't want us to suffer so people talk so much it was the wars in other countries but swimming scams to talk about the situation some people. again use and sometimes when

it bodes people lose it that's why i come to fight it seems. we are in this country but you don't do nothing to tune the situation. but that is exactly what it is doing with her help the children who were harmed by the shattered society and learning to find joy again. women like tears my momma pansy make sure that moments of peace exist even in the middle of a war. back to wonder kindergartener peace and gura presents a weekly show on women's issues today it's about teenage pregnancies a major problem in the country. to go she invited to the show have cancelled at short notice they were too ashamed. young men rarely

question their own responsibility. on one side is a paradise of women because women here have rights according to their roles we have minerals protecting women. but we still. have. a long time to do because of the coverage we still have many people who are stuck in the country and they don't want to change. kenya politics here is male dominated in rural areas gender roles and a case had traditionally we meet a woman who is an exception. and one. the celebrations begin early in the morning. a shot of strong homebrewed like her bottoms up. here in kisumu rodeo id ambo yes mama africa is

preparing for today's job with her colleagues. you. can quote we only do this when we go to work otherwise we don't ring well and. they work starts in front of the mortuary. today it looks more like a busy fairground. funerals are celebrated in style in western kenya 1st the family pick up the body from the mortuary there is a can afford it employs professional moon is like mama africa. you moving in that i do it because there aren't many other jobs around here but there are always funerals so we can and money on wednesdays thursdays and fridays

the more. the idea is the longer and louder the morning the more important the deceased 6. must be really known me and you under some good luck yeah you are slow we didn't stop well. not everyone is keen on the idea of tears for cash. c 0 in mind and you have to pay for someone to more near you it's a personal matter. and to do with. gaunt. professional professional mourners can only cry when they've been drinking it has to come from their head. but the true mourners don't need to take anything away from the heart i want to market the one when i can point to. a group of professional moon is can and the equivalent of up to 200 euros the

weekend a lot of money in this otherwise poverty stricken region. the coffin is carried from the mortuary to the home village of the deceased. now mama africa and her team provide this service. one of their speciality is rolling on the ground and crying that cost extra. for the next morning mama africa goes back to being a normal housewife. in kisumu she's a bit of a celebrity. the 1st time i cried for someone i didn't know was one a street boy was stabbed to death nobody wanted anything to do with him so i carried him to his grave and you know. she often does it

for free when a social outcast dies along with professional moaning mama africa and the living selling marijuana it's illegal in kenya but lucrative. i mean. this is how i complain the school fees for my son that in the past my father supported me but since he died i've been selling marijuana even if i have to bribe the police. as soon as my son has finished school and i stop and follow my dream and i want to sell clothes and shoes in nairobi. she doesn't want to give up being a paid morning yet her personal motor comes from bob marley you never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice. that could be the personal motto of rose or work too. i was divorced at 27 for being chairlifts

i lived on the street for 6 months in my house i'm a business was burnt down you actually. i reminded lost my husband and i did 3 years. at u.t.s. i am 40 years old i have had a decade of really keen in really suffered me then i realised this was not my only story. bill gross always friends stella's husband has just died rose consoles her as best she can she wants to change the face of all widowed women and demands that the abuse of widows should stop. in the tradition of the ethnic group widows are passed down to the family of the deceased. before this happens they're subjected to a so-called widow cleansing ritually it's a clear case of sexual abuse it. rose tries to console stella telling her

that she doesn't have to go through with it. it is in your hands you can judge. after. all men can be. given the time the media. missed and i miss my husband very much. he could even cook which is really unusual in our culture. before he died he told me he was against the passing down and cleansing of widows in. situ and close enough chili means even if you are 60 years old. and a man has to be picked or to be paid to come and have 6 we deal with protection. it's of your beds populates and if that doesn't happen if you do it your stigmatized if you don't do it you're stigmatized so there's no in between for all

we do here the fact that you've lost your husband you've lost all your rights so this sexual cleansing is the number one issue. even in the 21st century it's also the custom at lake victoria and western kenya. rows over is campaigning against it. the widow stories are all similar they often lose everything to their in-laws you know you or anyone else that you want them i don't think i want to. get out of it was the movie reviewer yeah. the elderly suffer in particular rows visit some of the old and sick women along with some young widows. gertrud on younger story is especially tragic i mean not only did she lose her husband but all of her children too but there's not

a lot rose can do for her foundation has very little funding. what we can do today i don't know what can we do to be maybe. i don't know why don't we take her to host this one this terrible. terrible. road straws some hope from her work with children her foundation has set up an orphanage to give girls and boys a new home. for the widows it's a task that helps them cope with their own fate. i also hope to see a generation of young women who will not go through what they will still not be cleansed

any inherited identity should remain when they lose their husbands they will live in dignity and they will know their rights and be respected as human beings. nigeria in the north east of the country where a terrorist group boko haram has the region in a grip of violence women's rights are often not respected. photographer found car captures the fragility of daily life in her hometown of my degree in suicide attacks carried out by the islamic terrorist group boko haram are not uncommon at the local markets.

the photographer listens to the market traders worries they can't sell much no one can afford more than the most basic food. it was only focused on one uncle which was even a bit shamo i let it go i'm glad i did everything by there to stop me about this don't know so i was you know that the ban was all i wouldn't change a narrative like a counter directive to what i see in mainstream media. it looks like a normal day but many people are afraid over a 1000000 people have fled from the country to the city the government cannot manage to feed them sufficiently in the refugee camps. that. was it that r.t.l. boubacar visits one of these camps the photographer does not conceal the suffering but wants to make sense of it in her own way.

she meets a young woman who was held captive by boko haram. 40 once traumatized women like her to be accepted by society. you know there's a lot of a lot of healing that has to be borne and we have to be abused but i would say that our resilience is what i want people to see that yes we have suffered we have been through a lot but we are moving on we came to see that we rebuild and we you know move on. these women and girls are also trying to move on for months even years they were all held captive by boko haram the local government has set up

a shelter for them in my degree. of. my. life. that i know the family commissioner of the government is visiting and she wants to see how the women are doing. the girls were forced to marry the islamic state fighters were raped and then gave birth to children zahra and i have suppressed their experiences. america's the i don't have the men in my heart i can't remember them i just live my life. i don't think about the past i hope that one day i will find a good man who will marry me in spite of my story in. there and see unlike you know what i will tell my children about their father but they will

probably find out when we have peace probably before i can even talk to them about entirely human. desire and i were able to escape were picked up by the military and brought here. in the women's shelter they are given psychological counseling and are also under observation the government fears that they might have been radicalized by boko haram. some of them are like telling the truth because boko haram pin is with us is not a good people. you understand so sometimes the they think they hate something because we are not there. the women are guarded in the shelter the fear that they might still have contact to the terrorists is large. in and around the city fatal suicide attacks are sometimes carried out by young women like her all in the name of religion. they polluted them why. they polluted

there might be until you got one day if you die you will be in paradise because. you are not going to stay in this. completely so you must go back to your court so this is the thin wash. their lack of western education they lack was an education also in the region education. that's why we are trying to rebuild our schools. and the other women have to learn to live with the violence they were subjected to and with the mistrust of their own government they are not even allowed to see their families. you know. i would like to see my mother so much she's in a refugee camp here in my degree i would feel so much better if i could be with her that's where i belong not here and. nigerian

society has to learn how to integrate. and thousands more traumatized women. every day in my degree is a tightrope walk between normality and the consequences of war. photography fancy a boubacar captures it all. one sign that my degree is looking ahead is a visit from a famous star musician the most easy. it was. alongside all the suffering the photographer wants to show that life can also be fun. to watch. trust. me. i don't. read.

the south of nigeria and the sprawling bustling city of lagos is a stark contrast to the north of the country. dr olah orekunrin doesn't take much time off. but when she does she likes to go to taco bell and i'm in beach near lagos harbor. she's a british citizen but sees her future in nigeria when she travels abroad she's constantly confronted with negative clichés about africa. that would surprise. for a conference a few weeks ago and whatever like i do to see how bad the big question is it's what every guy comes to cover and shut me up for i say but i'm from africa no matter like what he's doing he can be like ashish i dare you could be working behind the killing mcdonalds but you want what's to rescue me and i just want you to even move me like he did before i like living in africa but why is this the 1st thing. that

we can bring guns to rescue people who are still people in have chosen home of nigeria. as a doctor she wants to change things in africa. she often travels to communicate your idea that medical aid should be available for everyone. why the terrorists. have this meeting in her office in lagos starts with the issue of obesity in nigeria. if a patient is larger than one of those boeing aircraft then i think the patient actually has bigger issues to worry about because obesity is a widespread problem to be able to have the tendency to get fat when you think it's going to go that's. not you be seeing movies patients or you obese patients. in the western world before these diseases of lifestyle came about yet almost

successfully eliminated the infectious diseases but here in africa we're fighting battles at the same time. often. lived to have parents home and set up flying doctors nigeria. the commitment is very personal. her younger sister died while on holiday in 1000 urrea. the rescue plane from south africa to light. i think gave a central role to play i just didn't want my particular organization to have to rely on doing the funding because africa needs to be passed that i felt very passionately when i actually came that nigeria needs to be able to stand by itself eventually without their uniforms. instead of setting up a charity she decided to found

a profit oriented business. nowon not only works as an entrepreneur. in rwanda as capital kigali well orekunrin is taking part in the world economic forum on africa she exchanges news with women from the whole continent she's confident that change is afoot in previous conferences it was trying to get multinationals into africa so that they could employ people but now they're saying i mean from the likes of bengal to actually african entrepreneurs can be really they can scale up their business and then they can start employing people. right here and for me i think what really stood out for me with female voices are these entrepreneurs as professionals as students as mothers as wives i think the african women for the most part has been largely ignore it. you know half of the population on the continent has not realized its full potential. yet everywhere women are taking

responsibility like these 3 business women from zimbabwe liberia and nigeria. women friends they are wonder if the role model for them. brand in general has decreased huge steps forward in the areas of health care in the areas of education in the areas of digitising. providing what that says and i think that those are things that my dear can learn from will wonder as well about increasing efficiency increasing attractiveness for business and foreign investment. kigali also happens to be one of the keenest cities on the african continent. in kinshasa the capital of the war torn democratic republic of congo things are lagging behind somewhat.

that doesn't bother barbara to send a friend these sub purrs rise above the country's widespread poverty to celebrate high fashion. is the society of entertainers and elegant persons. barbara to send a is one of the few women. only a few shops in kinshasa stuck exclusive european designer labels all counterfeit equivalents from china right now the. world over. it's difficult being as a person but it's our profession. and that means being well dressed in clothes that cost more than most companies will ever earn. isn't that

rather cynical and such a poor country. to feel i've been through a lot in my life like most companies people. but i've decided that i'm not always going to suffer. and i wanted to be an important person in society. and the little that god gives me what i share with others. to give you. my teacher is an especially rundown district of contrasts crime and bishop poverty prevail here. that we that best of her supper the people call everybody imitating knows barbara has same day. with a straw mass as a red carpet barbara is cheered like a pop star by hold up girlfriends.

i'm. very proud of her. nobody doubts her good reputation anyone who does can get lost. you know what i'd love to just like her from time to time i wish my children would grow up like her she's so beautiful. barbara peace and i grew up as an orphan and was raised by her grandmother there was barely enough money for food or for school when her brother became a stop her barbara decided to follow suit not nothing and i want to show people a little appreciation with them and i want to make them proud and happy. even though it's a slum but i like living here. and i've made this neighborhood a bit famous too by the comparable but always i'm a bit above them all. the next day the suppers of can share some need to celebrate the anniversary of the death of the founder of the movement sans reposes and curious onlookers are here as well as barbara of

course. but not everyone enjoys the show. for me what they do is a waste of time. they only do it because they don't have a proper job. or. if the government took more care of young people this nonsense would be unnecessary. 6 after hours of strutting their stuff on the streets barbara and the others go to the found his grave. the step movement became popular in the 1960 s. as a protest against the country's despotic politics and terrible living conditions.

with it and usual lifestyle barbara and her. fellow dandies want to offer people a contrast today the hardship. was. back in kenya this time on the coast close to somalia. the east women are making soap together to earn a living but also as a kind of therapy. the women were abducted and abused by the terrorist group al-shabaab. sometimes they had family members who had joined the terrorists and i think there was. some old woman what others did has made us enemies of society they call me. just because 2 of my brothers joined the terrorist group and that was it were you ashamed that. these women have experienced pain and loss and been stigmatized by their neighbors with no help from the state or the

police at. least think they could be terrorists around they react harshly and start killing people especially if they think that young men might be a member of. that's why most of them are not reported even if they are guilty of war. for to musharraf he knows what she's talking about her husband a policeman himself was shot dead by colleagues when he was looking for his son. the 14 year old had disappeared probably off to somalia to join the al shabaab terrorist group. they also recruit their fighters on the kenyan coast where tourists from all over the world spend their holidays radicalization is a huge problem here. the police respond with brutality many kenyans dare not even enter a police station for fear of appearing suspicious themselves it was not easy to convince the authorities to let us film here. but i did learn about their

office of a balloon a gun. ooma was willing to be filmed here she tells us that she became a police officer to be there for society not against it. her office in mumbai is a port of call for many people especially women. i promise i'll take care of your problem she tells this woman they should go without saying but not in kenya if. the police here are seen more as enemies and thugs rather than friends or help is all they have to be primed for a fatal. officer tries to be an approachable policewoman. that andro this is a big gap between us. i would put it this way that. is they believed to be true in their community and ask police in that one hour. she explains that sometimes the public is afraid of revealing

information and being seen as traitors but they are also afraid of the police. one eyed you. got no help from the police when her husband was shot dead she gets by supporting her family by selling pastries she's active in the community as an ambassador for peace. and. when the police want something they have to take a soft approach as if they were dealing with an infant. arrests and violence only produce hate. we want to get rid of the hate. we want to be friendly to him faintly. says the woman whose husband was shot by his own colleagues before her very eyes and who has lost a child to a terrorist group. and. they told me that my son was dead.

i have found my peace with that and. if you came back you might have been a bad influence on others and we need to be. in spite of all maybe because of her terrible story for tumor shelf he is fighting the hatred. she has joined forces with police officer b. veronica. together they venture into an area where al-shabaab is especially active . on. them. at 1st the police uniform is met with skepticism one woman complains that she is constantly harassed by the police but by criminals to. the police officer encourages the woman to report such incidents directly to her colleagues i mean

where you are now you don't even know. it's good that she came here many of us were afraid at 1st but it's easier for us to get things off our chest this way. very different from going to a police station is up and you. know where you're coming at them this is a tactic the police are following more and more on the kenyan coast and approaching the community and listening to people. officer guma is an exceptional police woman she's always on duty even when making breakfast for her 3 children. in spite of all the difficulties she faces giving up is not an option for her. you can't go back to those sold you not be able to eat it it can be tasteless but sold because you can do much you can find then. the soul is quite get me a woman is sold quite get me the. indispensable they cannot do

without us. but to michelle if you believed in the power of women she and her friends from the therapy group all celebrating the birth of the baby girl. with that as essential as salt or as beautiful and crazy as flower as women in africa today are fighting to make life easier for the next generation. india looks for signs of nature the biggest city of delhi was here there's plenty of pollution and little things on middle consciousness. but the n.-g. o. delhi greens wants to change that. it aims to raise awareness with small eco friendly projects. will its efforts bear fruit. in.
