world. vision. to a crisis. of the cold. november 27th . this is the. coming off of critical government now. it galvanized the youth in elections in march but now he's been disqualified from parliament. violations but is he being targeted for his opposition to the government. and animated film speaks of the trauma of child marriage. changed attitudes.

and. detectives on the train last. welcome to news it's good to have you with us one of the most vocal critics of thailand's government will now not have a voice in parliament. he's a leader of the progressive future for what bobsy but now he's been disqualified from parliament by the constitutional court for violating election lol his absence in parliament means one less critic in the chamber of the government of. the former army chief who came out top in the macho election the election itself was the 1st in 5 years since a military led by. top. old

a democratically elected government in 24. my guest later will explain in greater detail how important are not on is in thailand but 1st here's a quick sound bite from an exclusive interview with my colleague charlotte have been conducted with him in june. facing a lot of legal challenges which he say are largely politically motivated we believe so do you worry that your days in politics might be the best. you could stand if you were afraid you to do anything for us do we political at this point of his story. it's a pushing the boundaries pushing where they lean meat off possibilities is i believe that it is a power to be mean of ideas domination of ideas that comes to trade juicing legal charges the trade off while ends against some of the leaders of the party these things are real but we are unafraid. and submissive that are

driven doctor by my colleague. bill joining me now in the studio is type political scientist system and he's very ideological or articulate driven so he speaks his mind he's not afraid of the establishment and was importantly i think the interview showed us that he really believes in the idea of democracy and he's really fighting for it so this is unprecedented for type and it's interesting you mention he's not afraid of the establishment that make him a target to entire politics definitely. usually we have to opposition that can be call been compromised and. because i think that kind of has been tried with him didn't work out and so that's why now. establishment has

restored it was sorted through legal repression and that's why i mean before we seen what we've seen today that he's been tackett it by. the political establishment so he's not going to be in bali a month but that doesn't mean that is not going to be in politics but what does his departure from bali meant mean for thai politics well. of course thai politics is i mean if you were there was a simple thing is if you want to push through a law or in the right now the party's mission is to change the constitution you have to do it that's for the parliament so without he being in the parliament that kind of spearheaded the leadership would be missing and i think the establishment kind of believes that the part he is at by tonight on. and i think that would affect the leadership of the party is this a message that these debates been destroying to send to other political parties to

draw the line. absolutely but i mean this is not the 1st kid. previously we have political leaders of opposition parties being charged and tried but i think more and more that this has become normalized less and less people would feel that that would be effective and they would scare there would be scare of that so i think right now we see these 2 contradictory contradicting images where on the one hand the repression is high on the other people are not afraid we have to leave it there for the time being but thanks so much for coming in late in your eyes from a very a type political scientist thank you. it's been called a human rights violation by the un and it's easy to see why girls made it off before their 18th birthday

a practice that runs counter to the un convention on the rights of the child which today marks its 30th anniversary the convention was supposed to provide protection to children from discrimination violence and neglect but that means nothing to the estimated $12000000.00 girls around the world who all made it off each year before the age of 18 and act which robs them of their education and pushes them into domestic violence one filmmaker though is hoping to bring about a change sharmeen obaid chinoy is a 2 time oscar winner from pakistan and i did in the yeah she released an animated film on the subject based in 1000 seventies lahore it tells the story of a 14 year old girl who dreams of being a pilot will speak to sharmeen in a minute but here is a quick peek at her field. the

fans go to that girl's dream and its director sharmeen obaid chinoy joins me now from crowds of mr knight good to have you with us on the program what are you hoping to achieve with this film. darn it because g.v. wanted to start a global conversation about investing in the dreams of young to be more than $12000000.00 girls around a married off as child brides and the story of sadar revolves around a younger but i would seem to becoming up by it and she's drugged out of it the idea by using animation was that we could create something that could going to schools and community center and spark discussions between parents and children

about why young girls to date in 2001000 stand i'm able to achieve that they. had the film is a 2nd part is thought isn't it where choice about it just to continue to happen is the government is taking adequate action to prevent this. you know child marriage is a very complicated issue because it happens in so many countries around the world it's not too rapidly found just focused on africa has you know the continent has one of the highest numbers of child rights in the work child brides are black and in an america which 13 states in america still do not have legislation barring a child rights so we set the film in pakistan but it's a conversation that needs to be had around the. why is it that so many people are still unknowing young girls to get married in pakistan specifically it is because

of kind of shia it is also because of the fact that a lot of families who are poor don't want the responsibility of having a daughter when she's diff teen or 16 years which they'd rather marry him of and me as someone else's problem and what we want to talk about is with the film with many of these parents is that you need to start trusting your daughters you can't just want them off to a man when she does 13 or 14 the government of pakistan has been playing an active role there are. beings that are being run to talk about china marriage but to be honest legislation is one thing unless there is a change in the mindset off families rather than men especially if they don't see young girls as a budget that's when change will happen and that's always the hardest kind of change to bring isn't it sharmeen obaid chinoy present over there oh thank you so much thank you china according to some estimates it's home to some
