you're going to unofficial estimates more than 1200000 venezuelans live in colombia legally and illegally. returned to. visit friends i don't think i'd ever go back there to live you know where i live there again i don't know so i'm not sure. witness global news that matters. made for mines. painful goes blue for boys it just drives me crazy i got to write gender cliches there ingrained in our brains from a very early age even today advertisers no way to make an extra buck they did the

market products and services with a mock up of course we end up paying of course monetizing genda welcome to maid i've been and i'm. before we start crunching the numbers here's something the advertising executives missed the growing market for women who fancy a ride on fast wheels yet when no longer being draped over my disciples just to rev up sales ben we're banning the rub i think it's pretty cool. well documented by one that's long been dominated by men. but this is a women only event they want to break the stereotype. they will miss its money cannot win by money you know your children partner at home called friends you haven't seen for a while get on your motorbike and head to pet for lads to do something that's just

for you. 4 years ago if they were called nick founded what's now europe's biggest women only motorbike festival petra lets. her aim was to get more women interested in money to buy and to connect them with each other. on call in every year we see a handful of women who don't have motorbike licenses and who aren't into the scene by the neck as they have a license and come by motorbike home. and thought having an impact on the market since 2011 the number of women with motorbike licenses in germany alone has risen by around a quarter to almost 5000000. but still more than twice as many men have much of bike licenses the industry remains very male centric.

it's difficult when you go into a store i wanted something for me with different sizes and i was kind of intimidated the only guys in the store there guys they don't like even talk to you or if i wonder which with my friends. to introduce themselves to my friends but they don't even like shake my hands was the name i don't the self-awareness is growing and as a target group were taken more seriously but there's still a. a long way to go before the motorbike market gets more female friendly especially in terms of clothing for nothing since even for you. in the past women were often just used as decoration to sell most to buy. but that's changing slowly the industry is taking note women bikers are a force to be reckoned with. so

we don't have any female role models in the past showing us that it was totally normal for women to ride motorbikes do mechanical work and go on longer trips by themselves so there was no one inspiring us but we're changing that now i want. to go in the car connected to have a role model her father she began writing a motorbike 10 years ago so she could join him on the legendary route 66 in the us . they came for and were told it's a fun i didn't really have much of a desire to ride a motorbike before but i love challenges i really adventurous and like to travel. so that's why i got my license and took that trip with my father. these days she's passionate about motorbikes but that still just a hobby writing a motorbike is about having fun and living life to the full. it's in

the. sitting in a car it's like you have a picture frame around you. but with a motorbike you're in the picture right in the middle there's no frame that you're looking at from your right in the middle and that's a different feeling. a feeling that shared by a growing number of women petra let's event is all about networking and creating community it's also a safe space where women. compelled that confidence. is needed and. i live in the here and now for me it's just important that the scenes growing and that there's an interest that more women become aware of it because it's such a cool thing it's not one when you're on the road it's just you and your motorbike it's time for herself as money visits to these women are born to be wild the global motorcycle market is riding high with some 100000000000 euros in 2018

it's expected to keep growing and that's some part to women. it's not just women in germany who are confronted with cliches japan is one of the richest and most technologically advanced economies in the world but society there is still very traditional it has the biggest gender pay gap among members of the o.e.c.d. the organization for economic cooperation and development only women in south korea at the studio paid less on average compared to men i know i'm half japanese hof german i visit japan often and when ever i see my japanese on she always asked me when my finally getting married you know essential meeting a woman and all and you know even so you have. it's ridiculous and many people this think i'm not female enough and i'm too emancipated male female roles are still firmly entrenched in japan but i met one woman there who is trying to question

gender stereotypes with a very unusual product try this on for size. the big day in recent years we've seen the concept of brands for men emerge many people online for example find the idea strange or gross. but i think people should be able to wear whatever they want whether they are men or women. just because it feels comfortable or they like it we are starting this brand to enable that the best in mom but i want to tell you. i'm a super tiny 29 years old and i'm in the process of launching

a gender neutral underwear brand. new home was the same i think typical japanese underwear stalls don't offer that much for ayat there's a lot of floral lace pink ones i'd like to have a place that offers simpler more neutral designs which are more comfortable to wear . when talking about gender or sexuality in japan i feel like i'm being choked. there's no direct or physical violence involved but you can speak about it and

that's distressing so i think that's very typical of japan. i initially thought the brands would be mostly for women but i found out that many large and then worry about their breasts showing. them and their son men don't want their nipples to show and i realized that the only reason why many men don't buy bronze is simply because they're scared of what others might think and i can't claim my valuable. a part of most of them i have the body of a woman but when i wear this the whole doesn't bother me. a many men prefer it that way so we chose the design purposely we thought why not leave it that way so that anyone could wear it if they want to wear them out our side is saying when he sat

next to me. because we want our products to be available internationally they will be on sale online. and we're also collaborating with a japanese department store chain to sell them there as well. the problem is the way women are perceived inch of her in startups that have just gone public with women hold less than 5 or 10 percent of the important positions inch of her and we have a term. it's for when

a woman gets married and therefore stops working at a company mining and parenting go together and they're seen. as the ultimate goal and source of happiness for women many people here still think that way. since i don't think we're going for a niche market here maybe it's too simplistic to focusing on male female customers limits i think a market is just going to double. people's perceptions can change but i think that can happen quickly it's our goal that people won't be looked at strangely just for wearing what they like that's what we want to present top products without gender bias and change the way people perceive these things. or that.

i just went to the addresses to get ready for my fair share a wash cut and blow dry cost 55 euros for me but for you it would only been 29 euros that's pretty good i don't buy it there are things and lots of perks that you get as a woman ladies nights free drinks free cocktails dating apps the cheaper for women well they've got to get 0 interest somehow but overall you guys definitely have a better deal a german study shows half of all gender specific services are more expensive for women even things like having your clothes washed and i and men only pay more in 90 percent of the cases the study looked at only 41 percent of services where the same price and if you look at the average price difference women end up paying quite a lot more than men searching u.s.a.t. in comparison to men for the same products and services just targeted specifically at women when made a charge more it's only 7 and

a half years more ok i'm starting to feel bad see. here's a colleague christine take on gender cliches and gender. god i hope for women coke 0 for men. carry 3 coke was commonly associated with women. so as the years went by separate sugar free version was created for the stronger sex. but about cafe for women because we like to hang out over a good coffee for men there's mcdonald's a quick simple meal let's go to the way we do we are we have to divide everything into pink and blue just to sell more. in marketing defended the vijender marketing targets male and female consumers differently the danger is that it reinforces stereotypes and traditional roles.

machines cook books ions vacuum cleaners last year a german supermarket chain launched a mother's day campaign that was so sexist it backfired. is that of course men and women are different and it would be nonsense to develop sanitary products for men for instance you need to toiletries have to be divided into pink and blue. is it really necessary for items that everyone uses to look different for men and for women it is. better man gender marketing sometimes even invents a necessary product supposedly for women for example a ladies' electric screwdriver or to have a girl. who does that as what they are smaller and has simple to operate buttons because apparently we're weaker and less intelligent.

as women have emancipated themselves the market has discovered a gold mine but it's one that can only be exploited if we women go along with it do we really want this. that you would you buy a lady's electric screwdriver well i'm not the strongest as you can see but just like christina out of principle i definitely would not buy it well you know what sales went through the roof pretty interesting stuff so pink and cuddly for goals blue and robust for boys is that dictated by a law of nature or something no actually not far from it it's a fairly modern invention in fact in the 19th century children's clothes were often

white or left on bleached that way they could be washed at a high temperature without a color fading and i was surprised to find out that pink and red were actually colors seen as very masculine because they're strong colors and recalled the red garments worn by kate's while girls will bloom because that was seen as more delicate and it was associated with the virgin mary but you try telling that to a screaming 5 year old. all the pacifier for a little princess blue for boys even when they're babies they're slaying dragons where do these gender stereotypes come from. the advertising industry that's where girls wear pink and white dolls. they never wear blue. that's for boys. marketing professionals pedal stereotypes that

marcus for our entire lives. these conditions gender roles can make us sick that's what he has picked out says he's editor in chief at pink's thinks it's not very friendly i he said gunson it's actually were nice we just want people to realize that pink isn't just for girls and blue for boys gender roles are something we can play with we shouldn't pigeonhole children we should help them figure out their identity and let them do things their own way. pick out has 4 children. their mother works in a different city during the week he shoulders all the parenting himself. he's one of 5 members of the pink stinks team it's financed by donations. and i think you know we're in a completely run of the mill german city let's take a wander around the main shopping street and see what sort of gender stereotyping we can discover in the shop windows. we don't have to look far.

enough apparently only girls in pink get their ears pierced and seriously how many parents would buy a little boy suitcase with a picture of a unicorn not many boys get the blue ones with the puppies. on the tops and i have a daughter and she had a pink bicycle and i have a son who's 18 months younger than he now needs a bike too but even though he could just have the pink one because that's still in perfect condition i'd buy him a new one a blue one so i've been sold 2 items when i really only needed one. and that's like you could just buy a green bike that's one solution sure then we come across this poster the slogan is practice makes perfect the city's construction industry is looking for trainees. it would have been nice if this campaign and aim for more diversity there's a shortage of skilled workers these days and they could have featured a few women almost for me it's a job for women too of course it is. more examples of gender stereotyping can be

found on the pinks things website. users are invited to send in agree just examples of sexist advertising. sexism when it's a case of discrimination based on gender and when we men constantly convey the message that we aren't capable of looking out for our children and when we convey to women their expected to be sexually available all the time to take care of the household look after their kids not because they can not because they want to but because they're women and therefore it's their job that's gender based discrimination. it's high time to smash gender stereotypes. let's just let boys and girls be whatever they want to be. and as we just saw with the construction industry gender stereotyping also affects

the professions that we choose but let's move away from europe for a moment and take a look at a very different gender specific product one with cultural and religious roots to head stuff head scarves can be very controversial and that's despite europe's long history of covering up women's heads men as well men and women up until the middle of the last century wouldn't leave home without a hat on their head but some people see the headscarf now as a symbol of women's oppression of sexism and in a few islamic countries women are required to cover their heads by law but many muslim women say that for them wearing a headscarf is a liberating a way of stopping themselves from being reduced to a looks or a way of expressing themselves one of them is the next indonesian entrepreneur the aging the starry business model based on creating headscarf for working was live with it.
