are being empowered to go to school and then the skills that are pick up all tomorrow's wall. hello i'm christine wonderwall come to africa it's good to have you along we have reported a lot on this program about the conditions migrants trying to reach europe face when they get stranded or detained in libya we've heard from some of the migrants themselves as well as from rights groups calling the world's attention to the situation and that situation is still die the u.n. recently said african migrants stack in their biasa so desperate that they are paying bribes to get into detention centers where they live like prison is such and comfortable as that may be it's safer but outside. it is one of the most hostile countries on earth at the moment with forces fighting for

a un backed libyan government against a militia that's already taken control of most of the east of the country. and caught in the middle of. refugees inside and outside a number of detention centers the centers may be crowded not altogether safe because of the military engagements and frequent shelling but there is a sense that something good may happen some day outside these detention centers kidnappers were extortionists human traffickers you have to look at the glories of people people who have been to safety when they try to to leave libya and i see one on there's been brought back to detention center when you have to spray t.v. duel to detention centers some time to pay to get inside it and some of them prefer to be dictating the. terrible. things i

was born. there is desperation to get out of libya even by way of the dangerous route crossing the mediterranean but that often leads anyway to being sent right back to one of 19 official detention centers where thousands wait for other countries to open their doors the un needs massive help to resettle the refugees but also to help the african countries from where they come to be free we are able to meet their needs many. cation or training job placement in those countries those people many of those reasons you would not feel. to move on to try to seek a better future by. the path through libya at present is difficult at best deadly at worst. my guest today is the spokesperson from the u.n.
1:20 am
refugee agency charlie x.e. joins me from geneva welcome to the africa charlie let's start off by establishing who is responsible for these detention centers and and who what is the policy around who should be housed in them well 1st of all i think we have to make a distinction between this is tensions and says we have the official detention centers and the unofficial detention centers 1st of all the official detention centers these are run by the offish to libyan authorities and typically this is where people are brought off to being intercepted see by the libyan coast guard and he. has some access to the senses it's not on restricted we are limited into which parts of these since his we can go to and for how long but we are able to at least provide some assistance on the other hand the un officials and we know there are many of these as well these are run by smugglers and traffickers
1:21 am
and they operate on an unofficial capacity outside the usual structures of the state and here is where we see the real most horrific abuse is taking place and you in a start of the humanitarian agencies we simply have no access because of the dangers involved so many migrants as is the u.n. has saved hope to get into the detention centers that the u.n. h.c.r. can access to some degree their hope is that they will be resettled to fit country is there any appetite from from other countries to take on some of these people. well the fact that this phenomenon is taking place a tall i think really speaks to the desperation of the current situation inside syria we know that inside the detention centers there are appalling
1:22 am
conditions there have been widespread reports of human rights abuses taking place so i think we can really be in no doubt that this is a option of desperation for the people who take it they feel they have no other choice in terms of the evacuations and the resettlements the do take place this is done people are given priority based on vulnerability criteria so typically the kind of profiles that might be selected are often or maybe survivors of torture rule or sexual abuse it's the people most at risk. china who is responsible for migrants that are stranded in libya today. well it's the responsibility of the state to ensure the protection and
1:23 am
safety of refugees and migrants the same as it's their responsibility for the protection of civilians in the country but of course when you have a war like situation that can become very difficult and is becoming increasingly difficult as the fighting that began in april intensifies at the same time we know the conditions in libya right now to some degree i think there is also a collective responsibility amongst the international community to come to the assistance of people who've not only fled war in violence in their home countries have also ended up in this situation in libya often as a result of putting their lives in the hands of smugglers and traffickers who made them false promises of onward servile to europe that's the u.n. h.c.r.
1:24 am
is charlie x c talking to us from geneva thank you. the tech world is still a man's world and that's very true in africa where women say they've had a hard time getting into the industry and once they're in it doesn't get easier women often don't get the same opportunities as men now take companies have been talking about closing the gender gap but you're about to meet one woman who isn't waiting for them and is doing it herself. a laptop on the internet was all. needed to start her company gets. it's an online learning platform that is specially designed to teach women detest science and computer programming and also connects them to potential employers every student has an accountability partner and success coach pretty much to help them go through the
1:25 am
program so like you asked we only meets maybe once in 2 months once in 3 months so that they can work on a project together but it just helps for start to give the community for ha this kind of community is important to encourage more women to get into the mill domini to tech space every sense report shows that's in sub-saharan africa only 3 out of 10 professionals in science technology engineering and mathematics are women in an effort to close this gap she has made the program flexible enough so that even women with food time jobs and families who want to transition into tech can easily participate realestate and this for me is one of her students if you're with the fiscal course or. the fiscal course will have to be going to cost on the old octant would have been much more difficult but the fact
