play outside with your friends but you can't because you're 8 months pregnant it sounds i mean my general right but it's the awful reality for too many girls in africa so in today's show we're going to be introducing you to strong women who are fighting to make sure men and women are finally equal. income pollo our report to the minute in the right after this and they'll call in about gender equality. in vans about we need to young female soccer players who are kicking against prejudices. and the jury and love them are young now she actually figure in the not too young to run movement. we start off by traveling to come palo thing i read and grew up in rock because in uganda's capital city at just 13 years old rituals music is incredibly popular with over 34000000 views on you tube

in hollywood she demands an africa which is all equal opportunities for all and where no go can be forced to marry against how we'll she wrote this song exclusively for the 77 percent. we'll. give. to you when you're down just because. my t.v. your lives. seem. to not believe. where god just. packed just. too much.

all they need. to. be nice to. them to. try. i. decide. i do not. just decide i'm a shia shia shia. shia. don't just don't get it. when the motel black. community don't just get inside to me you should. shut tennis

players to shadi. we've got bad news my boy oh. boy oh. you. know let me see your response. time so. i'll try. to.

too much. food. to be. told me. you just feel. you had rachel no much a boy or girl we need equal rights and justice unfortunately uganda is still very far away from achieving this as shown in the case of activist dr nancy she even still in jail for speaking her mind and challenging male dominance and traditional norms. for i was street debate. to kampala to ask young people how uganda which we spoiled and what it will take to change it for the better.

we are in kampala uganda vis is the capital and the rain gods have opened on us but guess what the show must go on because today we're going to be discussing a very fiery topic here gender parity or lack thereof it is in this country that the minister of tourism suggested that women should be added on to the list of attractions for tourists that garnered a lot of reactions and we're going to get some of them right here so let's open this discussion with i suppose we'll come to you patricia what gives what is the current situation in uganda in as far as egalitarian ism is concerned i mean i think that uganda is a lot like. you know it's very nature so this is a country where a minister can get on t.v. and say that women are tourist attractions just for the same country where. telling women that because they're educated. to them country where an m.p.

can get up and say women need to be displayed into by their husbands i think that the few feminists who exist in this country and exist largely are met with constant attacks yeah so i guess in a lot of ways we sort of a long way to go ok you say that you have a long way to go but not everybody thinks of these actually any reason to go anywhere monday you say that there's no need for changing anything society was created like this by our forefathers for reasons. i don't have as many of changing anything but i'm saying that the speed at which the women want things changed is what actually is very very women they played the role of making your home so implying that the who has been the position of men would come to the. mission and that's what we have been good. homes breaking because they're running go from there at the moment to just been creating an overview but i want to get into the very specifics of this everyday sexism can you tell me in practical sense what it means for you to be

a woman in uganda it means that my my body is not mine i feel like my body is not especially in regards to street harassment terrifies me any man can come up to me he's entitled to come up to me and ask me what i'm doing why i'm doing it why i'm there. i'm being in fun tell lies every single. even i know he's there in front of me if i put it in terms of the leadership that we have so last year i think you proved the minister of public service issued a new dress code for women that's extremely oppressive something like the 1920 s. women cannot show cleavage women cannot have sleeveless tops women should not wear anything above the knee which aggression by the way we should specify that this is for women in public service when a public service if you walk in the national hospital any any public service then this is for you so it was one of the real question is why you know because for me just like what women should just like this some men don't like this woman don't

repute men don't harass they don't talk to men like this is the logical sex the logical sex the kind of then controlled. i mean. ok i think i want to go back to the point that lindsay was making that this sort of sexism is not only social cultural but it's also systemic it exists in law it exists in organizations how do you react to that i mean you can argue that my point is simple is that i think if you have a chip on your shoulder and you think that the world is out to get you you're going to view every obstacle that you face as a result of some nefarious actors or in the ferias class of people that are trying to put you down in this case men which is what activists will sink the feminists and i feel like this is unfair there's so many women that have succeeded. going on to do great things there are many terrific brilliant business women in this country brilliant women in parliament brilliant women in all walks of life in every profession look it's a double edged sword there are women who do take advantage of their femininity to

know what way to get lax treatment you know they're going to smile at the supervisor and hope that he treats them a little bit more leniently there are some women that will try to date men at a high level some men abuse of power to gain sexual access to women other women utilize their power to advance their careers ok it's just the world we live in joyce are you using your sexual your female wiles to to to advance in your career is this what is happening is there any truth to what fatboy saying yes there is truth to what you think some women have ignorantly done that some women hate but let me ask you why do you think they feel the need to that's what i'm that's what i was going to talk about because if. taking advantage but some in some cases someone has no option it is not the only option he lives oh ok there's a lot of nothing here there's a lot of slapping here so like i don't you know like how you think that the

plane is leveled just because there are women that are like taking advantage of the fact that they're women do you understand that they have been told that this is what they need to do like it is not fair like it is not enough for me to just be intelligent to be really hard working i have to open my legs for someone to sleep with me for me to be on the same level as you so i'm going to come back to monday because this question is actually in direct contradiction to what you said that some of the cultural norms which we have normalize ones like and things that some of the cultural norms we have normalised may be normal but they're not right when a minister public service or when you're going to comes up with the police and say look here we must be seen to dress because they look at the mom's body as usual. my sister was saying but doesn't that mean that the body belongs to the man and he has authority over you. oh yes. oh no no no no

i have to remove the microphone right there women do not belong to society and. to themselves to them so let's let them slow emblems of an exam let me give an example. if. you see things that when you see things that you hold somebody. remember. when its own well well well well well well well ok hold on hold on let's keep going with this conversation i know it's getting heated but my question to the people standing here is do you think uganda will ever be egalitarian house and what is the role of men in creating this equality that we have set as an ideal for men to be part of the solution to achieve gender equality in the trucks and to share power and to share decision making and. to have respect for relationships

that is that ok. i'm not even sure if i should come to you because you might you might open another can of worms but monday i have to ask you is there ever going to be equality in uganda gender equality when the what i just want to say is that today wide equality can only be found in the dictionary in a sense well we've had a very good number of comments here today i think this is definitely one of the most heated debates we've had so far and we absolutely enjoyed it please do let us know what you think and thank you for watching. a big thanks to all participants for speaking with us so candidly you can watch the whole debate on our you tube channel and write us a comment on what the rights for women and girls alike in your country and my home country kenya for example 80 percent of women a small scale farm was but only one percent all land in their own right.

and now let's meet some young women who are kicking back against prejudices. many people in sons of women playing sport to simply and handle especially a sport like football which is considered a men's game but these talented young women are privily pushing back against old school attitudes. was i'm going to be awesome or i i love food bowl because i know i'm talented as a woman playing football is amazing i was in 3rd grade when i started to play later coach nasser a notice that i was playing with boys in here and rolled me to play in her team and their women fighters and it's going to. court as well no insults about she's become famous for her advocacy of equal rights for gayle's in football. over the yes she has faced fierce opposition and has

constantly have to convince parents and families to let daughters place including bags. was like well it wasn't easy at 1st we had to plead with some by his parents and educate them about the sport they refused we went back again and again until they and us to not eventually they live by he joined the team and the community also understood that we were just interested in playing football and not in making mischief. thanks to women like coaching musharraf's fighting for their rights girls like somebody coming joy the freedom to play the game that most of the time. sometimes we go for matches in areas where we're not allowed to play if they don't allow girls to play we have to go back home our biggest supporters is our boys our age but older people are still reluctant to show their support like my parents they didn't want me to play our neighbors told them

a girl playing football is not a good thing so they were under a lot of pressure from other people. but in the end so by his parents finally allowed her to play her mother's initial opposition to some by his wish to play football was driven by one specific fear in. i know where you're going up and one of them out while i was kid that she or didn't get married i wonder who will marry if you mail a footballer but now so he is married has a child in her own home so she hasn't had any problems because she plays football down on the upper lobe are going to be. white so company sabbahi i'm here to elongate for them being able to play in such an open space is a testament that change is slowly taking place. and heart

team i literally using the strength of their bodies in the fight for equal rights and they are winning but sadly not all women have the right to decide how to use their boards in some countries like nigeria for example some women must seek permission from there has been decisions concerning their body for instance if they want to take the contraceptive pill our resident a sex expert katz doesn't think this is ok all women should be able to make their own decisions about their bodies in our next episode of the spread she has this advice for. hello there and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything sex and relationships today our e-mail comes from kenya a very young girl in need of our immediate attention her email goes hey cows my name is the y.d. i'm a 17 year old girl my boyfriend and i have been together

a year now we met in high school and have been intimate ever since recently i noticed that i skipped my period so i took a pregnancy test and it turns out i am pregnant i don't want to keep it because i'm starting college in a few months and i know i'm not ready for a child please help. so why do you thing. you so much for trusting us with your personal information and coming here for help the advice i'm about to share with you is both personal and legal and just so you know the legal information has been verified by satisfied lawyers who live and work in nairobi and a very well versed in the new aspects of the law surrounding abortion so to start with what is abortion abortion as a terminations of a pregnancy if the pregnancy is not viable what this means is if a pregnancy cannot survive independently outside of the mother's womb and the pregnancy is not viable the law allows for an abortion if the pregnancy poses a risk to your life your physical or your mental health at your age you shouldn't

have to worry about having a child if you don't want to but i do suggest that you go about it in the right way and seek the advice of a trained health professional as required by law another thing you should probably be aware of is the law doesn't recognize consent when it comes to sex for persons who are under the age of 18 so legally you having sex right now is technically considered defilement and defilement is a ground with which you can have a lawful abortion but this should stand as a warning to other people who are engaging in sexual activity below the age of consent both you and your under-age partner can get in a lot of trouble the wadi want you to take the time now to figure out how you're going to go about the decision you've made do you feel comfortable speaking to a parent or guardian asking them to accompany you to see the doctor because i do highly recommend having an adult that you trust close by for support throughout the whole process keep in mind that you do have a limited time as legally you cannot terminate

a pregnancy after 16 weeks and the longer you wait the fewer safe options you have look i know this has been an overload of information but i really wanted you to get the facts before you made a decision and i hope we were able to help from me to have by thank you cause and thank you as a lot of fish. airing your story with us we hope everything works out ok for you all know how much lighter note now we are heading to nigeria's capital a buddha the country's political have a regular hot spot for activists in 2017 thousands of young people took to the streets to do mind the reduction of the age we need for those who want to enter politics. blogger and activist maryam lo she was a prominent figure in this movement today she is giving us an insight as to our city. hello everyone my name is maria bello she i will use activist today i'm taking you around my city. it's located in the center of the country and it's one
