patterns gives us the box on the most color sexually transmitted infections. have you ever experienced hate speech or line or. sadly many of us have even if the people in saudi or frightening us a strange as it's still extremely uncomfortable and how. some of you in uganda shared your experiences with us let's hear what who had to say. and a brother who was at the school. someone didn't like you. from dream. undepressed online and we went through i looked as if i mean because people are believing what they want to see someone about my height and my skin color which is funny because he's a black person too so you'd expect. becoming for him i felt tortured and i
3:32 pm
fortunately. saw the post and actually go to social media for about 7 months my peak was used as an example a bad example for you going and celebrates graduation people say it could mean to. be using. you know how it goes to show me i guess i didn't recover because i still feel. that is awful and hate speech doesn't just lead to emotional pain it can also lead to injuries and even death like in the town adama in ethiopia says the country began its shift towards democracy if your p. has suffered a series of violent clashes between rival groups since 6 people were killed and many more like him what injured in clashes across the country last october and it was a facebook post that caused the tensions to speak. their riots began on the 23rd
3:33 pm
of october 2019 and lasted for several days and more took to the street band cars and killed several people they thought their opening into 6 people died across the country from the elderly to shop owners to young people what caused this horrific outbreak of violence allegedly it was a facebook post by opposition leader mohammed the politician has a lot of support among the youth in his post he called on his supporters for help fearing that someone from a rival group was learning to attack him in response some of his followers course the war and took to the streets attacking anyone in their way the police didn't interfere. the killings in adam a were all variously extremely horrific how do we combat hate speech that leads to such violence how mistreated should governments be. and how can we ensure you know
3:34 pm
more when prohibiting hate speech at the same time our reports are indicating money spoke with the victims of the riots in they see open capital. for then it's vital that their story. hard. the 77 percent is an added suburb of the capital of ethiopia and it's in this country that a legislation was recently passed trying to control what they're calling hate speech but how does this country and indeed africa and the rest of the world define that line between freedom of expression and harmful utterances i now want to introduce a very practical example just so that we know what we're talking about here in october of last year in this country a gentleman who's very popular politically made a statement on facebook and that english eventually or at least it was characterized to have led to violence on the ground but i want to come to yes but here because you argued that what joe of this guy said didn't qualify as hate
3:35 pm
speech i don't think his speech is he's a problem. at least he supported i mean there are displacements there are. clashes here in the internet penetration into a very long. users like. why don't you hate speech all mine his speech probably. ok i'd like to ask mr walker you know because he actually lost a son together with his wife and we actually have to respect that they're both wearing black because they're still in mourning and it's very difficult for the mothers you can see but mr guy you we're hearing there that perhaps the things that happened in a drama were not because of hate speech and it was because of ethnic tension how does that make you feel and if it's ok and if you're comfortable can you please tell me what happened. to your son for before. you know.
3:36 pm
what to. get credit i managed. to. talk to it. on your neck left on your karma. i'm so sorry for your loss and i see that you've brought the image of your son clearly as you saying barely an adolescent. and i know that this is very difficult for you so i'm really terribly sorry and thank you for speaking to us so mr what guy i'd like to ask you you know do you think that your son would have died if john had not posted on facebook. post about. facebook. so that i was among. them in order but are there most. of the.
3:37 pm
i want to come back to you yes but because this is obviously in contradiction to what you're saying to me you're saying hate speech is a long way to finish allow me to finish my question you're saying hate speech is not a problem and yet these parents are saying had that post not been put on facebook not necessarily jowers it could be anyone else but 1st i have to say i'm very very sorry for your loss but what was really what really was a cause. where was all the tensions where it was all the killings or what what was really the cause for that is all a post user won't post. it is a very complicated country. for like 5060 years so a single of facebook post does desist let me ask how did where do you think the line is then between hate speech and and ethnic tension when you look at for instance the information that was posted on social media it's an information you can't really see it as hate speech or being as a misinformation he just said i'm surrounded the police is here and i need help and
3:38 pm
. naturally his supporters came but then what china speired afterwards is what could be described as hate speech which lead to loss of lives and so on and so forth het speech that brings all these problems to the country and speaking of the law because we did promise that would come back to it it's very specific saying that any post made online which lead to violence or what are considered hate speech so you've been following the conversation that we've been having and i just asked about the law do you think that if this law had been implemented then your businesses would have been saved your communities would still be solid because. your hate speech in the hallway me to. go. to the. media etc. it is a grudge but now get i'm going to go. to decide later like i got
3:39 pm
a $300.00. kilometers. and not. a good witch. disease which. is that i guess at the moment but i'd like to hear from better kids where is he right in front of. so why are young people engaged in this kind of behavior i would imagine that you know being from kenya my parents' generation and their generation didn't know any better but we know more why is it still happening. politically neutral or. you're going to call with the to my little. league i'm trying to load the. social media site on an agreement to know without who.
3:40 pm
are willing to live delimiter. ok and finally i want to come to the parents do you think there's a way out of this what's the solution.
3:41 pm
well i think that's a good place to wrap up this debate it's one of those conversations where you peel one layer and you find 13 more i don't know how you feel about this but thank you for watching. in most cases it's the entire political atmosphere that leads to clashes and even today this debate shows that i know satin for constancy is just one post might be the straw that breaks the camel's back so let us be aware about hate speech even it might have cases if you would like to watch a longer version of that discussion you can check out our you tube channel and if you have any comments or suggestions please do get in touch with us via facebook or e-mail when she ran for word cancer about my lab or from zambia decide that she would rise above the hate speach. how open and drove around tower with megaphones
3:42 pm
publicly shaming how she proved the haters wrong and although she is still in her twenties she is now a successful politician let's. remember my novel is the youngest award concert in so yeah visiting a village the young politician is received euphorically she currently re presents 15000 people and those she's part of a minority at the moment she's hopeful that other young women will follow in her footsteps to want a model for young women. so that we're able to talk about our missions as women. maybe just to correct the girl. that was my at. present yet. to be. you know some of the people in the country accept me yeah. first arrived here to gain practical experience as
3:43 pm
a social worker the law courts were impressed with how she engaged with the women and children so they asked her to run in the consulate election but the old west talks against hart from the beginning the other male candidate harvest and even physically threatened her because leadership roles often passed down within the same family some felt that was stealing something that was rightfully theirs and in the night you'd hear the people from the other party you know going with a megaphone don't vote for this person you're don't vote for this foreign girl you don't even know if she's coming for all she's just a small little gal and she just does it to you as a councillor should not do anything and it was terrible and they would come right through megaphones and throw stones on the roof and. but i said i'm going to win i am going to win because the women really have supported me in this is what why
3:44 pm
i'm saying that women really vote and they support because they want things to change the world to mug obama is situated in the room will ask it of the capitalists during her time as a counselor who was able to channel extra funds into my goal to kickstart new infrastructure projects she also helped 700 schoolchildren get study loans and is firmly against child marriage unsurprisingly she's now pretty popular among her quest attunements well not that we know when our time that comes to her. she helps a lot because she knows as well and she has an open yeah there are problems in your life like i'm a mock up tonight jennifer and in my room we are happy with what the community she is a good young lady and want to have to continue helping even old people like myself . with just 9 percent number is one of the worst countries when it comes to female
3:45 pm
representation in local politics although half of the population is under $55.00 it's even harder for young people only $104.00 parliamentarians 3 percent of this group lawmakers tunnel. or thinks it's time that young people start making their voices heard. what we are seeing now is a sage of young people trying to assume political leadership and i think that is important for africa because naturally the youth come with a different kind of energy a different kind of innovation because you see there is this stance for sitting changes that have kept huge political powers in africa in place for a long time and that can only be change when there is new blood new ideas and pushing that agenda. back in my gobal is handing out water kind of status but not everyone appreciate suggestions for years politicians would give away money as a form of vote buying some of the locals were hoping for more but if to mistake
3:46 pm
that the next generation of leaders want to simply be judged by the size of their wallets. from one straw woman to another nickel on my taste you is the creator of the t.v. show and africa. based in a crowd gonna it tackles the topic of sexuality from the perspective of the mortal african woman it is inspired by the popular series sex and the city with over $4500000.00 view us as africa is no longer one of ghana's best kept secrets we managed to get a special behind the scenes look of the production get ready for some amazing fashion and lots of. stress for his all time out of fashion and the scent of a crowd. the series creator and high cost are searching for the latest in gandhi
3:47 pm
and fashion their web and t.v. series enough we can city is about to start production on season 3 and i always there's no shortage of bold and beautiful outfits why are beautiful things important for an african story because whenever i see anything in the media about africa it's about things. it was time to fight back it was time to fight that story and fashion was one way to do that. here. was launched in 2014 that focuses on 5 glamorous women love return to a craft to live an opera. bin of the gates to kill to world of love life and careers in spike heels and fabulous clothes the front discussions about sex have become the show's trademark for mommy jay who plays the no nonsense
3:48 pm
business in one scene up this topic is all but do for tension what the audience gets from that is that throughout the continent there are women who are living really strong. and discussing sexuality as much as it's still sort of towered in a bit of darkness around. it happened and i hope that the show sort of brings that to the forefront and allows young women to touch base with that part of themselves and not see some kind of. deviance yeah i have an african city was born here a martyr feels a studio the series sources but a strong female lead cartoonist in the new york be a serious sex in the city a matter if you wanted to create something similar for a gun in context like the challenges of important a vibrator. hardest. a small problem with his books and is it finally
3:49 pm
sunday had her vibrator you know the. americans. they use it's a massage their backs. this is my favorite episode but what i love is i really thought that i kept hearing that isis guy meehan's were bay conservative. but it was after that episode that i feel like everyone just love with. and that's when i really realize that people want to something new and fresh and real and different to be sexuality on screen is nothing new but exploring it from a black female perspective is still rarely done. and michelle big fans of the series for this reason they are playing the dating game in a cry for them it's a relief to see women on screen struggling with the same issues ask themselves here in africa i mean i'll tell you i said the fact that you have to weigh you know it's
3:50 pm
like a war that you have to win the war games and strategy that you take to get there more like your manhood if i define variants of this is a problem for women in society you know. like touching on any issues but now comes with just you having sex or dating. i think that was very important like they have to they have to cost in time the female caucus turn into an impressive number of men so if you it's always on the lookout for new male talent. ok right to tell me more about. the men in the series come and go by the women always stay. i love the women i love the 5 women. i love their friendship i love what they stand for it's powerful women but i love their sex lives i mean to me that they're my girlfriends who were just chatting
3:51 pm
about dating cetera so i love their sex lives i want to see more about their sex lives for all those people that we hate that we only talk about their sex lives. we will continue to do so because that's what the show is some critics off turn to the serious for a lot serious lifestyle the house a little in common with the reality for most people well if you want to. she serves the shore also offers a welcome break from the stereotypes of poverty in africa and of course it's glamorous will talk on is to continue to entertain. and debate in adventurous. wow i hope you join me in taking out. being in the dating game often looks fine and adventurous and it can be but sometimes i need by to guest comes along which can ruin the fun. i had over it well it is the most common sexually transmitted infection so how can you prevent it and what should you do if you test

3:53 pm
trusting me with this very personal information i do not take any of it for granted 1st of all chances are that the information your doctor is giving you is likely the correct information and i wouldn't want to counter that as i myself am not in the medical profession but i will reiterate some of the information just in case you needed to hear it in a more palatable way let's begin by defining h.p.v. h b. movie also known as human papilloma virus is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections that can be contracted through sexual contact and can affect your genitals mouth or throat there are over 100 different strains of h.p.v. in some cases the virus can disappear on its own within 2 years but if it doesn't you may be at risk of developing genital warts or cancers including cervical cancer throat cancer or councils of the genitals so go get checked yes there is a vaccine it's recommended for all genders to get vaccinated at age 11 through 15
3:54 pm
prior to sexual activity though the vaccine is available for people up to the age of 45 the vaccine is relatively safe and even the report of side effects are very rare lastly yes you can live a happy and healthy life with h.p.v. as long as you continue to use burials such as condoms with your partners maintain a healthy diet and see your doctor on a regular basis i hope this is covered everything don't forget to drop us an e-mail if you have any questions till next time from me. good bye. well that's it from us please connect with us write us an e-mail at 77 at d w dot com if you have any feedback or even story ideas this show was all about. and hate but remember they is interesting love and kindness of a hate. as there are so full of god's power we thought we'd get the boys to play us out this is f. k. n.
