consequences of what they believe it's mismanagement by a corrupt political elite. sunday marks international women's day with a focus on equality but for many women in latin america the most pressing issue is one of survival that's because femicide murders targeting women and girls is on the rise across the region figures from 28000 show that brazil has the highest number of them assads at over 1200 it's followed by mexico argentina and home douras but if you look at the rate of killings person 100000 women you see the crisis is worst in el salvador with $6.00 murders per 100000 inhabitants el salvador has the highest rate of femicide in the world followed by hunger is in bolivia well across latin america countries american countries people mostly women took part in strikes and protests for women's day.

was from this. to this. was not the usual scenes of an international women's day macho chile's capital santiago witnessed a polarizing transformation in a few short hours it comes as women across latin america gathered to be heard triggered by a growing outrage diag even here because i already knew that many women were coming we are supposed to be here to celebrate international women's day but rather we are here to protest fighting for it. was in mexico where more than 10 women are killed on average every day person esther's made them mock on the capital. of other areas of mexico city also saw violent clashes with protesters confronting police antiabortion activists

and men. was electric and also the thing on the fact that we have the strength the support that we can hug and gather is great i believe that we are in a generation the disk capable of hearing today in the patriarchy i am of the doubt it but that in borders there is protesters gathered to demand justice for women killed in femicide says. the man was. behind. the country is also in the midst of a controversial debate about legalizing abortion the president is expected to submit a bill to congress in the coming days in atlanta you know we take the streets to give visibility to the situation that we are living and we are in a critical cultural moment because of what is happening to us as women doing the right thing and we are here to take

a. the fight to fundamentally go out into the streets and. well not over women fighting the same basho around the world they've seized the day to make their voices heard. and joining me in the studio now is claudia lozano a sociologist and latin american expert from the free university here in berlin good morning good morning touches on that why is violence against women a bigger problem in latin america than elsewhere in the world because of the impunity violence against women is not to probably a new problem in the social sciences we know about it and it happens all over the world but the problem in latin america has to do with the way the police functions the juridical system the law system the criminal law is that they are not protecting women rights to a life we go violence bats and they are not tricked secuity in the criminal is that

the huge problem that's what we call impunity and there are not the problems in latin america which are related to poverty women are dependent on men for for living their own lives and i think that this is a man that the most they get into the working market they will have the chance to support their life by themself how important is the protest movement that we're seeing right now of course international women's day that brings a lot of women out on the streets but we're seeing massive protests in latin america focusing on this particular problem against women but the women's movement is a movement that has brought private problems into or i have had make them a public problem we have the problem i told you that the violence against women is nothing new professional women that are working in that terrific old system that i work in hospitals know about it because they receive the cases so what is happening right now is. because of the numbers we are having the magnitude of the problem is

that women are not talking about it in the media they are talking about they are taking the streets because they want their rights to be they are entitled and they are not waiting. for somebody to come in the financial cost to them so they are they have taken their power and they are raising their voices to. show the people the reality of violence and that's the reality of what's happens in the family it's not just in big institutions are on the streets this is not a new problem you've been studying it for quite some time what steps in your opinion need to be taken to reduce the violence against women in latin america and elsewhere well persecuting the criminals showing that this is id doesn't accept that anymore change in the culture and that is a big. challenge of the educational system of the formal system but also of

the states and putting prevention programs that's something we have in germany it is working very well that would take people from different different institutions not just coming from the law not just in schools but also in companies because sexual abuse is something that happens all the time and we know that worldwide thanks there in the 2 movements that women feels when they are in their working place not protected that they are trying it's to live a life without being. abused it's something that they have to protect themselves and they have they have to die and right if it's doctors on earth thank you very much for talking with us this morning that was dr claudia listen a sociologist and latin american expert from berlin university thank you. now some football and in the bonus legal leaders by in munich are 4 points clear at the top after a 2 nil win over. but there were mixed feelings before kick off as birthday

celebrations contrast did with the threat posed to the sport by the coronavirus. yes there was actually a scored when he made his 1st bundesliga start against hoffenheim last weekend and the 18 year old dutchman once again took the place of the injured robert leavened up front. ahead of kickoff the german health minister recommended that large public events be cancelled to help control the spread of the coronavirus but it was too late for this sellout crowd of 75000 to put on a big choreographic display in celebration of the club's 120th anniversary. fire and also wore a special edition kit for the occasion. but it was outscored who had the 1st shot on goal and the match at the had to work live ins effort in the 11th minute was too easy for manuel neuer to handle high and didn't have

a real chance until the final seconds of the 1st half i did not brief fed it to thomas miller who bounced it over the crossbar my butt nearly got another shot early in the 2nd half and this time he made out scored was around boa tang with a beautiful long ball and near that guy did it into the net when neil. borg caught by our now on the break in the 90th minute. but you could tell from the media listeners reaction that this one was not going to count you be the judge offside according to the referee i and then biron struck the final blow in injury time i believe 5 protons the flick was younger s.k. hitting the target to round out the 2 male score. i don't think in the

coming weeks anyone is going to look back and say we didn't perform our best today we look at the score and the fact that we won't and in the end that's what counts. cement if it does must sit spore it came away empty handed but it was a happy birthday for by a minute maintained their lead at the top of the table. and just reminder the top stories we're following for you here today on d w news italy has drastically restricted the movements of around one quarter of its population to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus around 16000000 people in the north including the country's financial company will be cut all the rest of the country until april surface. price of oil has dropped by 30 percent over worries the threat of virus is slowing global growth.
