world. tour for our pound with sam bishop in the middle east into a race crisis. was in front of the stores november 27th on the dollar. welcome to global 3 sounds and harassment and sexual violence are all too commonplace for many women around the world in japan for example women are often groped in overcrowded trains most suffer in silence but they're beginning to fight back. in one of my robi's poorest districts a young woman is raising awareness about gender violence. and the daughter of an indian billionaire office micro finance to poor rural women to help improve the

lives of their families. whether it's being whistle that are subjected to vulgar comments or touched without consent in many countries sexual harassment is regarded as a trivial offense it happens everywhere out on the streets in buses on trains or at work and it affects a lot of women international studies indicate that 50 to 90 percent of women in the countries surveyed reported having suffered sexual harassment the victims often don't file a complaint they know their accusations around likely to resonate in patriarchal societies. it's rush hour in tokyo. the trains and subways in the capital are jam packed perfect conditions for growth is all what the japanese call she caught. so many for me it's not

a man touched me on the train once i didn't say anything i stayed quiet. it was unpleasant and i just endured it. a little touching happens a lot up here. i think most of the women i know have had that experience. like smartphones have a natural function gods used to send pictures of the thing. that they're all about the bit. as a schoolgirl lemon cutter yama was also groped on public transport she kept silent out of shape and because this form of sexual assault seem to be an accepted part of japanese society even today it's dismissed as a trivial offense victims and bystanders are encouraged to call the police but that rarely happens. even when you say something the people around you often just act annoyed they rarely help you so many have basically just quit saying anything. she recently developed she can read and at that allows users to oppose harassment

and tag the location it already has 40000 registered uses. my options she has are and how many incidents have happened where. it's constantly updated on my own. the absence as a kind of warning system for other uses. it won't solve the problem of she can but very moment after yama hopes it will assure uses shamed you're not alone even if the police are no help. when you know the feeling of powerlessness has a lot to do with the fact that groping is seen as a normal part of life many victims even worry that if they call for help the train will be stopped and their fellow commuters will be late for work. so they say nothing out of consideration what. she can is also a common theme in manga. kids 2 women and girls shown are at the mercy of male

growth has many images are far more violent than the us. we need blogger come on. she was. dylan elementary school the 1st time the man reached inside her underwear she's written a book about what she experienced and is now calling on other women to speak up as well you know how much i took the train to school along with friends who are boys their experiences of taking the train were completely different to mine i realize men will only be able to understand the problem if we talk about it loud and clear . she's also taken her message under social media. takes us to an event for women who have decided to speak out the flower demo is held once a month it's attended by people who've been victims of groping and other forms of sexual violence normally about 500 people attend but today they are fewer because

of a typhoon. over one reason we're here is because in march several cases of sexual assault resulted in acquittals. 4 of them. the crowd falls on and for many here it's the 1st time they've spoken about their experiences sexual harassment and assault has long been a to do topic in japan. so this demonstration is very important to us. it's a place where we can gather hope. and feel like our voices might help change things . as. i say even men are speaking out in solidarity with their daughters. but with a script by a man but this isn't just a problem that affects other people the world of their own life the one. to me too movement may be bigger in other countries but in japan a country famous for its reticence the flower demos are practically

a revolution not guilty based on you some of the women who've spoken out about incidents they felt they could never talk about it gets the problem out. it into the open and gives women the feeling that they're in it together. you. come out plans to return here every month to raise awareness and create change. gender based violence is not only common in public places it overshadows many relationships too in many societies women are literally at the mercy of their partners according to a world bank report from 2017 marital rape was still not considered a crime in as many as 112 countries the united nations estimate that around 15000000 women between the ages of 15 and 19 have endured forced sex husbands and

partners pose the greatest risk. to see one she couldn't django grew up in done dora one of my robi's poorest districts she knows firsthand how hard life here can be going through a whole lot. i got. told before me i experienced violence and with relationships and ours was just. about 10 years ago at the age of 19 lucy found out that the father of her son david had infected her with hiv david died of just 7 months lucy decided to fight against the virus and for women she founded a club called the positive young women voices a regular meetup for women in the settlement to talk about sexual violence including from the partner. he beat me every day one of people

told me that he slept with lots of other women i mean he always went out drinking and i went to bed hungry you know women. with sexual assault. i care with a marriage if your husband forces himself on you when you don't want to then that's right plain and simple. my friend once came to me and told me that her husband was forcing himself on. the 1st i lost in the fact that she wanted to report her and husband but she insisted that it was right. so we went to the police station and the police just laughed and said but he's your husband and they are not here. why did they keep talking about violent experiences doesn't mean they won't happen again. but the women find that discussing it among themselves has a positive effect. on what it would do what their regular meeting very important for us because we have to share what you're going through and then you can get

somebody who's relating to what another person is going through and maybe that is how we learn that is not normal like being abused where you know what they've stayed here for so long. sexual abuse is normal there's nothing normal about that. lucy is also fighting at a political level she campaigns at conferences for more gender equality in her country she also represents those living with hiv the infection rate among young women in kenya has been on the rise again in recent years one reason is a lack of education on talk of concerts in school. everyone in high school ends in the schools we want to go not just come with condoms even if their students ask for it and start demonstrating on how to use. the term to confiscate guns so we are still we still don't top 6 indication in school and then there's also the trend of young people who due to poverty by the toronto sun gods and young women tend to

engage with the older people with a cause for those who for issues or social service. times that are suppose. that information sexual favors in exchange for money some women are in such financial need that they see no other option getting a school education is one step towards female autonomy but there are lots of things that stand in the way even menstruation many women can't afford sanitary products and so they don't go to school during their periods. lucy has had to deal with this issue so she's trying to resolve it. at least we're here because of their dr girls month initiative which is our monthly initiative where we go to 5 schools where we give senator charles 2 girls and mentorship to both boys and girls we want to keep to keep our guys in school to use their short story to find that.

being in the dunder a it's not a world of. community so you find that center towers are sometimes not truly love i love was lucy uses her visits to schools to talk to students about sexual autonomy especially the young women. goalless to have real equality in kenya and she wants others to benefit from her painful experiences. everything i do is powered by i don't want anyone else to go through what i went through if i can help it cause the guard club so much you only need our own water because for me i felt i had bad time i lacked someone i could look up to i lacked someone i could talk to look up being truthful and effectively but in my very cool then i think that's that's all i need.

you can find out more about women's rights on d w women our facebook page it's filled with inspiring stories about women determined to change the status quo. d.w. women gives a voice to the women of our. sometimes all it takes is a cow some better seeds or a simple machine to dramatically improve a farmer's lot in life it's a lousy their children to get an education and with it the chance of a better future micro financing come play a key role here $124000000000.00 worth of microtones were paid out in 2880 percent of them to women most in asian countries like bangladesh india and vietnam but micro loans and not handouts investments to profit from the often high interest rates.

is that. you don't choose way of. god. and then your fella is a pop star in india and she's just been on her 1st tour she doesn't need to make money from music because she's been rich since but. for most of her fans having a life like 9 years is nothing more than a dream. i think best in india being gap between the rich and the poor is massive and while growing up there always thought of me from within and i want to do something to bridge that gap. the bill of family's private assets are worth an estimated 9000000000 euros

a father kumar bella and some industrial empire was a nanya didn't join the family business she set up her own company such tantra microphone that grants micro loans to people who would normally be tonight alone she had no prior experience in banking. right like everyone else. in the industry was in there. is only 14 and i was at 17 so initially no wonder we see as the bank closing big mysteriously no one was willing to lend to me the one who was willing to come on board and believe that. all rather the 1st thing to go was getting people on my side and making that better make them understand i'm serious about this and not just i'm a kid but i'm a kid with a vision. indians who were born into poverty usually state.

the cost system often determines people's social status and chances of climbing the ladder and so i just decided for them. it's almost impossible for farmers in the countryside to get a bank loan most of them don't have the necessary financial means all securities so tom true microphone helps people like these with what's called a micro credit. this farmer has taken out a micro credit of around $100.00 euros to buy another cow and increase his production the family needs a 2nd line to pay for a hospital visit for the father and son of around 400 euros c. came up without life it was very difficult before we were struggling a lot. i don't know he's dreamt of having a cow but i couldn't make it happen. thanks to the micro credit i was able to buy

one now i can sell it's milk and the money really helps toward household costs. the company has already paid out around $30000000.00 euros in microcredit mostly to women the money goes towards all kinds of things like machines animals a new house a car an insurance. around 99 percent of the borrowers keep up with every payments because of the new special system. and so i create is on the coast so we put. these in a group and if one doesn't then everyone all the other leaders have to chip in and . and that adds a little bit of pressure. private bank has already helped more than half a 1000000 women across india. demand is very high for these micro lines.

even though the interest rates are comparable to those of a conventional bank. in the process the simple customers apply for a loan online using an app. every customer gets that are in digital account. and then your bell maintains that she's not a charity. i think we are a catalyst for their growth and that's what i would like to see because if you pass with principal and interest when i helping them in any way i would just i provide them with a product that would support them to do all. this is a chance for people to break free from poverty a chance that they might not have got from anyone else.

i. will gladly cheat. this week on global team comes from mexico. to. me not my name is even among the well and i live in a school. you know. if. any temporarily order my free time i like to do take $1.00 the martial art and play video games where walls.

what makes me happy is being with my friends my family and my relatives. and i don't think so back then i grandparents could go out and play in the streets but we can't do that nowadays it's not a safe anymore on the streets and in the parks. it's just. what i hope for in the future is a better world where there's no more pollution and where there's no danger of species going extinct here on earth whether in the oceans on land or in the air. now in global ideas we're off to chile in south america as

a nation blessed with tons of sunshine chile seems predestined to make use of solar energy around the town of. reports that alexa maya discovered been keen to use renewables to cut costs and protect the climate. grapevines like lots of sun as long as they get enough water as well but it hasn't rained in the district of molina for months and the amount of snow and ice melt from the andes has declined decades ago the government sold the rights to ground and surface water to private sector companies so to secure access to water one had to have money. says that's wrong it could be. those with more rights have access to more water that's how water is distributed here not perfect at. their outfits with just one hectare would have more water. land distribution isn't equitable. and that's

a big problem in chile. you know granted morales has 400 hector's under cultivation half his grapes go to another larger winery. petero. they advise him on ways to get by with less water. for example mining irrigation channels to reduce seepage. the new san pedro has a drip irrigation system that optimizes uptake by the vines and minimizes waste. but it's still powered by a diesel generator the fuel is expensive and it's not eco friendly. but that is set to change we're. going to install solar panels and. we already have

a bio gas plant here. the plant runs on the seeds and skins of the grapes after we've pressed them at harvest time. to rate all that and feed the plant with it all year round. but. solar panels on the roof of the winery have already cut energy costs by a 3rd mean your san pedro aims to have switched entirely to renewable energy by 2021. with financial support from the german chilean chamber of commerce and industry it's considering a feasibility study for a pumped hydro electric facility just store the energy it generates. 50 percent every increase in efficiency means lower costs. but in our company investment always involves protecting the environment so. that's part of our

strategy. venus san pedro established in 1965 it sells 72000000 liters of wine a year and uses the same amount of water just to bottle it the chamber of commerce considers the winery exemplary in its commitment to renewable energy and the efficient use of water. i mean that companies in the food industry can't get around adopting measures to harness energy efficiency especially exporters. there are overseas markets where people pay a lot of attention to where goods come from. consumers have become very demanding. when they want to buy wines that have been produced sustainably. without excessive use of water without leaving a massive ecological footprint have. recurrent and persistent droughts mean

irrigation is of increasing importance as are energy efficient and eco friendly delivery systems. the projects we've done so far such as studies we. have all involved companies that realize they need to act. they come to us and say we want to conduct a feasibility study to see how we can address the energy issue. and enhance energy efficiency. and. eco node process is one that's it's solar panels provide about a 3rd of its electricity that has reduced operating costs and allowed the company to invest more in automation that in turn has raised the not utilization rate. that's important because one not harvest have been declining due to drought.

and. that's because he sees energy efficiency is very important. it helps conserve natural resources and reduce carbon emissions. and of course it lowers our costs it's also good for our brand it enhances our image especially among foreign customers. growers and processors across the food industry say they need to work more closely together in the face of massive water shortages. that way they can utilize the scarce resource as efficiently as possible. many here are worried about the future.
