a loss coach us. how old are you 16 how much is it tight 100 i know a place within walking distance it's safe i always go there. fernando who wishes to remain anonymous was 13 when strangers 1st offered him money for sex. when i saw the money i obviously gave in i didn't anticipate the harm it would do to me. but once you enter this vicious cycle which it undoubtably is you can't escape on your own you need tools and people who can get you back on the right track. in colombia prostitution is illegal before the age of 18 the fight against sexual exploitation of children is regulated by law but legislation wasn't able to protect fernando and thousands of others from becoming victims. to shield young people from those who want to take advantage of them a local foundation has launched

a campaign. i am the wall. for yours and i think you are so you know is a defense strategy for our boys and girls in the tourism sector environments there are protocols and codes of conduct we ask of service providers especially hotels to implement in coordination with the authorities and that's the reaction part but the wall also doesn't put in prevention work and it tends miners whose rights have already been violated. since its launch hundreds of hotels taxi drivers and street vendors have joined the initiative one of them is victor he runs a beach tender rental and feels like much more than just another brick in the wall . opposite of beaches who knew all about this problem. let me see something we make sure to tell people hey listen what you're doing is wrong we need to protect our children and we can't put them in the hands of criminals when i do this from my

ancestry a home in germany. my grandfather a left germany fled actually in 1937 he was only 21 years old when he left and he fled to brazil this was thanks to his mother's foresight because she kind of knew that something was coming he was already not allowed to stay at university where he was studying at that time so in a way he wasn't anymore a full sits and the nazis systematically stripped german jews of all their right now marcel is fighting to claim the german citizenship that was taken from her grandfather my brother and i felt very close to the german culture since a very young age was studied in a water school in brazil with german school and we always had this references from germany and european coach are present in our houses article 116 of the german

constitution allows germans who citizenship was revoked by the nazis to apply to have it restored the same goes for their descendants but authorities turned down a marcellus application on the grounds that her grandfather had left germany voluntarily. and he told me that it was he had left voluntarily it was a calling to hear something like that it was yes so we were angry but yes we we knew that we are fighting for a right cause a just cause marcella soon learned that she wasn't alone and joined forces with a lobby group that helps hundreds of people who've been turned down. in january the group brought the debate to the bundestag felix couch men and his new wife isabelle from london founded the group 2 years ago they want to see a new more general law to prevent exclusions from article 116. this time the motion
