i have mounted my city's days for centuries and accompanied my country through its finest hour. until the day i'm. not tied down to. they are the primary caretakers of children and elders the educators the groups and ingenuity to even come through out history the central fool of freedom in a society has ensured its stability progress and long term development of nations but it only needs and always which hello welcome to a very special episode dedicated to women here on india. coming to you from

mumbai. some 355000000 women and good access to a toilet around the world with india in the lead by a significant margin i've had women telling me to be drinking less water or starve themselves during the day so that they don't have to use their wash up it's a troublesome problem to have in the 21st century an organization in to me has come up with a sustainable solution to tackle this to help the city's women. always in the largest cities but for every 3000 people here. 11th 2000. and 10 edition backings there is much to be

done in terms of sanitation. and more often than not it's been the brunt of the lack of clean and accessible public facilities you would have been. born here that. is and who runs a business and knows this only too well. every woman has a toilet emergency story and we end up using a toilet only if it's a do or die situation there is a woman working on a construction site audit there is a girl who is going to a party or there's a high and 5 star restaurant they all have the right to a good story. going to use collaborating with us look at mr asian to transform discard and ornamental buses into toilets or garlic for. these decommissioned buses relying in the mental corp both shops and the meeting to be scrapped. that would have increased landfall beast and

insufficient use of energy in water. instead they are now vibrant significant scientists from human stations crowded public places in the city like major bus stops. and community centers. jenny has final say in the high court questioning the lack of. women they had found their years in the city near the main bus stop and in the markets there were no toilets that's why we commission. our lack of toilets in the us moves to broadening social issues it contributes to extreme discomfort and serious health issues. if we have to leave us us in the open there is no access to money want to buy this is a very dirty compared to this. is

a very very high chittick it would have been very difficult for me if this dollar bus didn't exist and for other women like me because of a lack of access to a toilet i would hold back from drinking water my body used to i used to visit the doctor quite often now if this study bus has put it into that i say someone. 2 places with the wife of a. friend when i started managing one of the trial it centers to talk from someone she worked hard to ensure this facility rusty and especially a safe space for women. to think that i'm usually in public toilets there are went all around if we need any of them as hygiene products we can't openly ask for that we cannot sell it at the border. every boss. has one off the list and about to be

in the toilets there were lights sensor lights so that we're not wasting electricity all the lights that i don't need right now are running on so not. only monsoons that time to connect to the main grid the main electricity lines we have. a diaper changing station for babies even to come to the park and they might acquire it other than that a key feature of this is in this box is that when we play regular reviews on our t.v. on health it would be on hand washing habits it could be on you know self-examination for breast cancer called. for your 5 rupees or $0.06 which is the price of a small treat or kind of the mechanics services which include months drill sargeant products for breast feeding as well as an outlet stocked with drinking water under freshman.

on average at least $250.00 for members of these drugs after a significant increase on ram they was 1st established. there are a lot of working women in the city there are students that are good. there are children and they're all are out on the move now and if there had to be we had to give something good them that you know that this public space also includes. on the busy streets of. our life. easier. easy however is not the word we use when we're talking about the unexpected and adverse effects climate change can have on procreation scientists have noticed that extreme weather patterns are fundamentally changing how species in the animal world breit. from rising sea levels to extreme drought the list of the

negative affects of climate change is endless. but one area often goes unmentioned in the discussion let's talk about sachs scientists have found that higher temperatures are making it harder for animals to reproduce. here are 3 examples of climate change in action. a research team from the university of east anglia in the u.k. studied the red flower beetle to explore the effects of heat waves on male reproduction. the beatles were exposed to 5 day heat wave temperatures which were $5.00 to $7.00 degrees celsius above their thermal optimum . the scientists found that a heat wave have the amount of offspring males could produce. and the 2nd heat wave almost sterilized the males completely.

the gender of humans and many animals is genetically determined but for many species of reptiles the temperature at which their eggs are in. beta decides the gender of their offspring warmer eggs develop into females cooler eggs into males researchers from the national oceanic and atmospheric administration in hawaii found that rising temperatures have resulted in an excess of female pacific ocean turtles being born with the males becoming increasingly outnumbered it's now getting a lot harder for the animals to find mates. eat climate change also poses problems for the cuckoo this parasitic creature returns

from west africa and april and lays its eggs in other birds' nests hoping its unfortunate victims will enjoy a bait and hatch them which normally happens but if the surrogates own chicks have already started hatching in hot weather they recognize the cuckoo eggs more easily and then they just throw them out of the nest. even to be in the year 2020 the most natural pings that a woman goes through if you mean big menstruation for example traditional beliefs and the lack of access to scientific reasoning means that women in many parts of the world are treated like outcasts every month but more of the women and men are speaking out above the noise about hygiene solutions reproductive health and even the environment we met a few of them to understand the myths they are trying to bust. yes. a class on hygiene and girls' school delhi. the subject is menstruation.

in the schools laboratory students are making their own sanitary napkins many aren't familiar with only 10 percent of indian women use sanitary pads most used bits of cloth or. leaves. the merits of being not there whenever i use a sanitary napkin i feel proud because i made it myself. in poverty stricken neighborhoods nearby girl sold the senate erie napkins they've made to women for 3 rupees or 4 euro cents each that's much cheaper than store bought ones. in many areas of india women are now using this device to make cheaper homemade center terry napkins. even make a living from it the inventor of the device is. gun tom known as god he's preparing for a series of lectures in london you're doing

a starter for my wife so on a limited. with a lot of strain and. an agent so i started from 0 to tell my wife. i need to make we in a problem. that's what i'm trying to make. for my wife. guy has sold more than 6000 of his devices around the world the inventor has turned it into a real business. in 2018 bollywood turned his story into a film that proved controversial menstruation as a taboo topic in india. madhuri mud to sudan works in germany but she was born in bangalore one of india's most modern cities. even so she's aware of attitudes in india's rural areas there's

a taboo against that and that's why they went to see it in a different place and not allowed to touch many things and not allowed to go inside them things they're not allowed to prove and they're not allowed to cook ok to make on one side the kitchen and that's like he said this they to the life. that bollywood film had man didn't just make headlines in india in neighboring pakistan the film was banned on the grounds that it violated pakistani culture and traditions as a sign of solidarity many people both men and women and some celebrities too took part in a social media campaign centered around the hash tag pad challenge. an indian comic strip called menstruate pedia also became popular thanks to the film pad man here big defender did the fact that. this is how you varied in

your mind of it when it's not the black i mean note. holds lectures around the world. and his experience the subject of menstruation is still something of a taboo in industrialized countries too. i got to belin. oh my god there is a. religious jew then. they want to talk aboard this women that are being a little bit difficult matter so they want to know how i am not up in a way i'm tagging this issue in that little area they want to learn they will take away from india. in southern germany another male entrepreneur find could have started the company me lou now turning menstruation products into a business model manufactures menstrual cups some of the customers have been using them for years one of congress' priorities is to avoid waste every year 45000000000

sanitary napkins and tampons are discarded worldwide. this is also the reason why menstrual cups have only begun to gain in popularity and. that the pressure is actually increasing. i. can see it in the fact that menstrual cups were hardly ever talked about in the past for nowadays you can see ads for them all over the place on the internet everywhere what's your own statements what's. the company sells the cups in india to fund our 1st saw the film pad man with his business partners in sri lanka he thinks it helped to change attitudes. as it is a famous definitive it is b. it has definitely changed things. first of all indians love cinema. and this is

a true story. minced words you want to really help to do stigmatize menstruation hygiene. and. for maruca it's been a difficult path for the past 2 decades he's traveled throughout india and the world delivering his message even in the face of strong resistance even today in india it helps that he's now famous elsewhere it's harder. really importantly while i'm going for the other country. to start from 0 that is fine in india but if i'm going to do if i'm going to do it in some syrian refugee in afghanistan then again . depending on the size mogas pad man devices cost between 503000 euros they provide women with an income and the pads themselves give the women freedom and dignity.

for the longest time in history men have made most of the political and economic decisions is that a correlation between these decisions and the state to follow world and the environment that's the question more than women are asking as there is the weiss's for better policies on environmental protection one distinct voice is that of me will make like. we're going to lose wonders of this world natural wonders and human made wonders you know whether it's the great barrier reef or venice. i think every human on this planet on some level is aware that our home is in crisis. we all need to understand what our particular strengths are and

apply those to this project of transformation. i think we have an economic system. that defines success progress health as and less economic growth and much of that growth is connected to an ideology of and once consumption. and that is the fairy tale as gretchen burke says that is incompatible with what our planet can take and so we need a different economic paradigm. in that moment that the climate crisis becomes

a clear and present threat. we are seeing these strong men figures like trump like paulson are like to tear today. who are experts at pitting populations against each other these leaders are tapping into deep insecurities deep fears in their respective cultures. i didn't you know firmly believe that the only way we are going to beat these figures is with a policy agenda that is as bold as a green new deal. global emissions need to be cut in half in 11 years then in countries like germany and the

united states we need to do it a lot faster than that because we have been polluting for a couple of 100 years so we've got a big head start on that so we need to do more if we're going to live up to our historical responsibility. with. the big fossil fuel companies knew about climate change in the 1970 s. these same companies like exxon in particular but others as well started pouring millions of dollars into the misinformation machine into the climate change denial machine everything from buying full page ads in the new york times saying that the science wasn't settled to funding right wing think tanks that existed just to spread misinformation about climate science. and that's why our conversation around

expropriation if these companies continue with their intransigence should be part of the conversation we have. if you think about what hollywood has given ass almost every vision of the future that we get is some version of ecological collapse plus social collapse we need other visions of who we might be where we don't actually turn on each other where we do actually respond to this crisis. inequalities in societies or new with the world. doing the richer you are the less so you feel the effects of climate change but more than most people realize this divide and accept the responsibility that comes with wealth and then you're the

daughter of a billionaire industrialist in india has decided to make a difference by helping especially female farmers what deeply affected by the debilitating effects of rising temperatures. yeah. the guilt is not overcome you don't choose where you've gone. there is hardly anyone in india who hasn't heard unnumbered last name their daughter out of one of the country's biggest industrialists she is on her 1st to work as a single but the social divide between the 9 and the majority of fans is clear. i think specially in india doing gap between the rich and the ball is massive and

while growing up there always sort of pinch me from within and i want to do something to bridge that gap. the not family is estimated to be worth around 9000000000 euros but instead of joining the family business and then you have founded her own company start on from my girlfriend that offers micro loans in rural india she did not have any banking experience at the time. i said. everyone. in the industry was in their late teens or early forty's their forty's and i was at 17 so initially no one took me seriously bank doesn't take me seriously no one was willing to lend to me no one was willing to come on board in terms of the team all rather toughest thing to get over was getting people on my side and out of making that try to make them

understand i'm serious about this and i'm not just i'm a kid but i'm a kid with a vision. a huge number of people especially from economically because social groups don't. unlearn papers to prove there are going to be. quite brutal indians and particularly unlikely to have savings electoral our tribute to schools making it almost impossible for them to get a loan from an ordinary bank that is where some country microfinance comes in. this far more from our astra needed to borrow 100 euros to parties echo and improve the farms productivity the family also needed a 2nd loan off at around 400 euros to pay hospital bills for the father and son.

my life was very difficult before he was struggling a lot i always had a dream of having a college which i couldn't realize but after i got microfinance it helped i got to college i was able to sell its milk for 5000 rupees and that helped the household. the company has lent out around $30000000.00 euros in micro loans mainly to women there is a strong correlation between women controlling money and long term benefits to the family had to relearn the environment the repayment rate is also high at 99 percent due in part to a special system and so i create is on the coast or simply that so we put. these in a group and if one doesn't repay then everyone all the other leaders have to chip in and repair it and that pressure it adds

a bit of pressure. on his bank had supported more than half a 1000000 women across india but it does not hand out arms the interest on the loans is on a par with conventional banks. processing loans may be a bit easier especially as credit inquiries can be made digitally and every customer gets a digital account. micro loans help empowered women and create self-sufficiency in a context where such opportunities are discards. the state of women in any society is a real indicator of police to progress to these episode has highlighted why women need to be up in center when decisions and policies are made on a micro or macro level i hope we've left you with many takeaways we see you again next week until then good bye.
