from politics to flash from housing boom boom town this is where. 77 percent. this weekend v.w. . africa coming up on the program. and it's time to take a stab. at targeting the known toward. asia. now from cotton europe has been to most of transplants and i think. so i'm living inside. really to get them slowly the true. nobel peace prize when i. think impact of violence against women and about issues affecting his troubled home country the democratic republic of congo

also coming up. boiling with range we hear from women in sudan through years of the way they have been treated by the mean meal. there for about 10 years. has been named men's uglies of the year after recently being the 1st man to run a marathon on that. i do my journey on you welcome to the program it's one of the most systematic and widespread human rights violations of our time violence against women today we take a closer look at the un's international day for the elimination of violence against women. is staggering one in 3 women around the world experienced some kind of

physical or sexual abuse in their lifetime in africa the numbers are particularly high according to the world health organization 2 thirds of women in parts of sub-saharan africa that is 65 percent of women suffer from violence inflicted on them by the apartness last year's the world peace prize laureates that is from the democratic republic of congo to the spotlight on sexual violence against women as a weapon of war runs a clinic in east india see is again ecologist and surgeon and has saved tens of thousands of women's lives with reconstructive surgery then it is currently in germany showcasing his web for the global survivors fund and initiative that will provide the survivors of conflict to believe that violence when reparations and forms of be addressed my colleague christine wound up with him she asked him about this and about you shoes. today is the international day of the elimination of

violence against women violence against women is something that you know and understand all too all you've you've helped women who've been raped in conflict in your country the democratic republic of congo i wanted to ask you if you think that the world has done enough is doing enough for women who are being raped in conflicts in country and around the world. of course no i think that we can do more and there is a really possibility to do more i got the possibility of an alms award and visiting women who were victims of sexual violence in their country and i can say is not release the world must do more for the sexual violence in conflict it's not only a problem of call traveling around the world i discover that in asia in latin america in africa in europe we have victim of sexual violence and i can say that most of the so are living in silos and the silence is

a way really to kill them slowly but sure so i think that you can do more in supporting them to break silo supporting them to access to medical treatment psychological treatment to help them to integrate their communities and of course to support them towards justice because without justice we can't really balance is use of rape as a weapon of foreign conflict the ducks as we speak in your country in the in the past hours rebels are attacking the city off penny you are in the german capital and you will be having a petition of it and you are talking to phone manufacturers and you are saying to them to stop working with rebel groups what exactly is your message my message is clear i think that all of us we need all this in the 20th plant and we need our.

cell phone we need really to use it but the big problem is how are you are using. the materials are using in this telephone is coming from this area where rebels are . raping women killing people just to get these. or free of charge or using the local population as slaves especially children and i think that this is not acceptable there is a way really to get this done without killing and raping raping. the local population this is our message was have to get it cheap and use the local population as slaves while we can't get companies who can come and go and exports is content without killing and raping. you have always spoken about bad governance in your country you have said for the last century there's been bad

governance in your country at president felix your security is just about complete one year in office and i wanted to ask you if you felt that and to his presidency the bit that we've seen there's hope for congo is he different to the others. i think is that i'm waiting to see. i can't really give my judgment now because i think that the government have only i think 3 months and this is not enough really to get a good position about what is happening in congo but what you are asking to security to do is really to try to get another way to lead the country and don't really lead it is the former president did in the cold war this is a terrible way to lead the country and i think that's before one year it's really very area to give the opinion about. his way to leave the country. and lastly my last question here is if you could just tell us about the moment when

you found out that you were and nobel laureate what did that meet here. for me a really. pretty. i was nominated and. when i saw how women at the hospital we were very happy to get this news i just felt that it was a victory and for me nobel peace prize was really kind of recognition of the suffering of the 2 most are trying to balance in congo and today a thing that is a burden for me because i think that the hopes that this nobel peace prize created then we need to really to my telly as this hope and bring on women of color to feel that this have to stop in congo we can't go now in 20 years more than 20 years women are suffering and this must stop what i'm fighting now to try to get

not only isn't a national community but also the national community to understand that we can't build a country without justice we can't build a country with a parish and all the women need really to get oppression that some ok thank you thank you. and of a country where the rights of women are often violated. activists say in the past women there have been unfairly targeted using the hash interpretations of sharia law the new prime minister has vowed to strengthen women's rights as the nation plots in new course following the ouster of the data show earlier this year but the reports still a long way to go. this drink seller in the sudanese capital khartoum is boiling with anger. her name is our dear mahmoud kuku and she's a campaigner for the rights of female t.v.

endace. she says please target women business owners like her harassing them for no reason and that this must stop like that up until now there's been a crackdown on women we've complained the prime minister and the president of the ministry council the police are still chasing women and why. we are all civilian why is the still happening to these problems are deep rooted and have to be completely uprooted so to have good management. the authorities in sudan are promising to improve the situation for all women their rights were severely restricted after former leader omar al bashir came to power in a coup backed by islamists 1989. so limit sharif has a government committee set up to combat violence against women. and then i'll begin when we have a lot of systemic violence against women aimed at limiting their participation in

political and social life. and we have laws that encourage violence against women. you're in forces commit violence against women and not criminals. but whatever the new sydney's government decides to cook up to rectify past wrongs it's already too late for some women. and. donna was flogged 9 years that got it for allegedly drinking alcohol she's still too afraid to reveal her real identity. and was going to see the judge had a paris no problem with being shipped with the way i leaked. he even said we as the most have been in power for more than 20 years and there are still girls who like this. abdalla is still traumatized by her experience.

she's now a feminist activist and as such she's trying to redress the balance between the sexes and she hopes to make women's life less difficult in future. this. kenya's. loves to run and now there's another reason for him to smile he's been named men's athletes of the year for the 2nd time the highlights of his season was of course this moment when he became the 1st months running a marathon in under 2 hours in october. he is in the history books at least the man himself was not of a ceremony and would not go on saturday about here's how he responded to the news of his award so you know how he remembers that golden moment. it was really special that davis really coud i am happy to be the 1st human being
