i pads for new agers british an. i pad. i. beethoven's 9th i don't want to start on t.w. . welcome to global 3000. and sexual violence are all too commonplace for many women around the world in japan for example women are often groped in overcrowded trains most suffer in silence but they're beginning to fight back. in one of my robi's poorest districts a young woman is raising awareness about gender violence. and the daughter of an indian billionaire offers micro finance to poor rural women to help improve the

life staff their families. whether it's being whistled out subjected to vulgar comments or touched without consent in many countries sexual harassment is regarded as a trivial offense it happens everywhere out on the streets in buses on trains or at work and it affects a lot of women international studies indicate that 50 to 90 percent of women in the country surveyed reported having suffered sexual harassment the victims often don't file a complaint they know their accusations around likely to resonate in patriarchal societies. it's rush hour in tokyo. the trains and subways in the capital are jam packed perfect conditions for growth it's all what the japanese call she can. so many it's not

a man touched me on the train once i didn't say anything i stayed quiet. it was unpleasant and i just endured it. a little touching happens a lot of hair. i think most of the women i know have had that experience. when. i was smartphones have a natural function guys use that to send pictures of the thing. that they're all about the big bang. as a schoolgirl lemon cutter yama was also a graphed on public transport she kept silent out of shame and because this form of sexual assault seemed to be an accepted part of japanese society even today it's dismissed as a trivial offense victims and bystanders are encouraged to call the police but that rarely happens. even when you say something the people around you often just act annoyed they rarely help you so many have basically just quit saying anything. she recently developed she can read up and ask that allows users to impose

harassment and tag the location it already has 40000 registered users in my app shows you where gropers are and how many incidents have happened where it's constantly updated on my own. the absence as a kind of warning system for other uses. it won't solve the problem of she can but very moment after yama hopes it will assure uses don't be ashamed you're not alone even if the police are no help. when you know the feeling of powerlessness has a lot to do with the fact that groping are seen as a normal part of life many victims even worry that if i call for help the train will be stopped and their fellow commuters will be late for work. so they say nothing out of consideration what. she can is also a common theme in manga. kid 2 women and girls shown at the mercy of male growth

has many images are far more violent than the us. we need blogger come on. she was. dylan elementary school the 1st time a man reached inside her underwear she's written a book about what she experienced and is now calling on other women to speak up as well you know how much i took the train to school along with friends who are boys their experiences of taking the train were completely different to mine i realize men will only be able to understand the problem if we talk about it loud and clear . she's also taken her message on to social media. takes us to an event for women who've decided to speak out the flower demo is held once a month it's attended by people who have been victims of groping and other forms of sexual violence normally about 500 people attend but today they are fewer because

of a typhoon. number one reason we're here is because in march several cases of sexual assault resulted in acquittals. 4 of them. the crowd falls on and for many here it's the 1st time they've spoken about their experiences sexual harassment and assault has long been a to do topic in japan. as fast as this demonstration is very important to us. it's a place where we can gather hope. and feel like our voices might help change things . as. i say even men are speaking out in solidarity with their daughters. but with us i'm a man but this isn't just a problem that affects other people the world with you and i want. to me to movement may be bigger in other countries but in japan a country famous for its reticence the flower demos are practically

a revolution. you'll see based on you some of the women who've spoken out about incidents they felt they could never talk about it gets the problem out. it into the open and gives women the feeling that they're in it together. if you. come out plans to return here every month to raise awareness and create change. gender based violence is not only common in public places it overshadows many relationships too in many societies women are literally at the mercy of their partners according to a world bank report from 2017 marital rape was still not considered a crime in as many as 112 countries the united nations estimate that around 15000000 women between the ages of 15 and 19 have endured forced sex husbands and

partners pose the greatest risk. for lucy one she couldn't grew up in done dora one of my robi's poorest districts she knows firsthand how hard life here can be going through a whole lot. are going to. be for me i experienced violence and through relationships and. just heard. about 10 years ago at the age of 19 lucy found out that the father of her son david had infected her with hiv david died of just 7 months lucy decided to fight against the virus and for women she founded a club called the positive young women voices a regular meet up for women in the settlement to talk about sexual violence including from the partner. he beat me every day one of

people told me that he slept with lots of other women i mean he always went out drinking and i went to bed hungry no woman. with sexual assault. i go with a marriage if your husband forces himself on you when you don't want to then that's right plain and simple. my friend once came to me and told me that her husband was forcing himself to come to the 1st i love the fact that she wanted to report her and husband but she insisted that it was right. so we went to the police station and the police just laughed and said but he's your husband as you are now they. want to pick you talking about violent experiences doesn't mean they won't happen again. but the women find that discussing it among themselves has a positive effect. on what it would help their regular meeting very important for us because we have to share with you over then you can get somebody who's relating

to what another person is going through and maybe that is how we learn that is not normal like being abused where you know what they've stayed here for so long. there's nothing normal about that. lucy is also fighting at a political level she campaigns at conferences for more gender equality in her country she also represents those living with hiv the infection rate among young women in kenya has been on the rise again in recent years one reason is a lack of education on talk of concerts in schools and running high schools even the schools you want to go not just come with condoms even if their students ask for it and start demonstrating on how to use. the term course kaos so we. did on top 6 indication in schools then there's also the trend for. young people who want you to poverty you might turn to god for young women trying to engage with

all of the people with a cause for those who for issues or social service. times that will support. with infliction of sexual favors in exchange for money some women are in such financial need that they see no other option getting a school education is one step towards female autonomy but there are lots of things that stand in the way even menstruation many women can't afford sanitary products and so they don't go to school during their periods. lucy has had to deal with this issue and so she's trying to resolve it. at least we're here because of their dr girls month initiative which is our monthly initiative where we go to follow schools where we give senator charles 2 girls and mentorship to both boys and girls we want to keep to keep our guys and schoolteachers the house but to a short story to find that. being in the world under a it's not

a world of. community so you find that center towers are sometimes not truly high level was that lucy uses her visits to schools to talk to stevens about sexual autonomy especially the young women. altimeter goal is to have real equality in kenya and she wants others to benefit from her painful experiences. everything i do is powered by i don't want anyone else to go through what i went through if i can help it cause the guard club so much you only need our own wardrobe because for me i felt i had a bad time i lacked someone i could look up to i lacked someone i could talk to like i've been through and if i can be but in my very career then i think that's that's one minute.

you can find out more about women's rights on d w women our facebook page it's filled with inspiring stories about women determined to change the status quo. d.w. women gives a voice to the women of our world. sometimes all it takes is a cow some better seeds or a simple machine to dramatically improve a pharmacy logs in life it's a lousy their children to get an education and with it the chance of a better future micro financing come play a key role here $124000000000.00 worth of microbe loans were paid out in 201880 percent of them to women most in asian countries like bangladesh india and vietnam but micro loans and not handouts investors to profit from the often high interest rates.

in some of our. pools where you're. from another fellow is a pop star in india and she's just been on her 1st top she doesn't need to make money from music because she's been british since but. for most of her fans having a life like a 9 years is nothing more than a dream. i think questioning india being gab between the rich and the board is massive and why we're going up there always sort of been me from within and i want to do something to bridge that gap. the bill a family's private assets are worth an estimated 9000000000 euros her father kumar

bella owns an industrial empire but in one year didn't join the family business she set up her own company such tantra microfinance that grants micro loans to people who would normally be tonight alone she had no prior experience in banking. everyone else. in the industry was in the lead. only 4 days there and i was at 17 so initially no wonder we seriously bank was indignant seriously no one was willing to lend to me no one was willing to come on board and believe that . all rather toughest thing to get over was getting people on my side and out and making that data make them understand i'm serious about this and not just on the kids but i'm a kid with a vision. indians who were born into poverty usually staple

the cost system often determines people's social status and chances of climbing the ladder and so i decided for them. it's almost impossible for farmers in the countryside to get a bank loan most of them don't have the necessary financial means all securities some true microphone helps people like these with what's called a micro credit. this farmer has taken out a micro credit of around $100.00 euros to buy another cow and increase his production. the family needs a 2nd line to pay for a hospital visit for the father and son of around 400 mirrors. my they. came up with a life it was very difficult before we were struggling a lot. i don't know he's dreamt of having a cow but i couldn't make it happen. thanks to the micro credit i was able to buy

one now i can sell it's milk and the money really helps toward household costs. the company has already paid out around $30000000.00 euros in microcredit mostly to women the money goes towards all kinds of things like machines animals and you house a car and insurance. around 99 percent of the borrowers keep up with every payments because of the new special system. and so i create is on the coast so we put. these in a group and if one doesn't then everyone all the other leaders have to chip in and . and that adds a little bit of pressure. to private bank has already helped more than half a 1000000 women across india. demand is very high for these micro lines.

even though the interest rates are comparable to those of a conventional bank. and the process is simple customers apply for a loan online using an app. every customer gets that are in digital account. and then your bella maintains that she's not a charity. i think we are a catalyst for their growth and that's what i would like to see because if you pay us with principal and interest when i helping them in any way i would just provide them with the broad outs that would support them don't draw. this is a chance for people to break free from poverty a chance that they might not have got from anyone else.

and. ok let me cheat. this week on global team comes from mexico. you know my name is iran i'm on a well and i live in the school. you know that. i meet the employer to my free time i like to do take one dollar the martial art and play video games you know where walls.

ok so what makes me happy is being with my friends my family and my relatives. i don't think so back then my grandparents could go out and play in the streets but we can't do that nowadays it's not a safe anymore on the streets and in the parks. parking it's just. what i hope for in the future is a better world where there's no more pollution and where there's no danger of species going extinct here on earth whether in the oceans land or in the. now doing global ideas we're off to chile in south america as

a nation blessed with tons of sunshine chile seeings we destined to make use of solar energy around the town of. already. discovered is keen to use renewables to cut costs and protect the climate. grapevines like lots of sun as long as they get enough water as well but it hasn't rained in the district of molina for months and the amount of snow and ice melt from the andes has declined decades ago the government sold the rights to ground and surface water to private sector companies so to secure access to water one had to have money. says that's wrong. those with more rights have access to more water that's how water is distributed here not perfect. their outfits with just one hectare i would have more water. land distribution isn't equitable. and

that's a big problem in chile. morales has $400.00 hector's under cultivation have his grapes go to another larger winery venus and pedro they advise him on ways to get by with less water. for example mining irrigation channels to reduce seepage. the new san pedro has a drip irrigation system that optimizes uptake by the vines and minimizes waste. but it's still powered by a diesel generator the fuel is expensive and it's not eco friendly. but that is set to change we're. going to install solar panels and. we already have

a bio gas plant here. the plant runs on the seeds and skins of the grapes after we've pressed them at harvest time. to rate all that and feed the plant with it all here around. but. solar panels on the roof of the winery have already cut energy costs by a 3rd the new san pedro aims to have switched entirely to renewable energy by 2021 . with financial support from the german chilean chamber of commerce and industry it's considering a feasibility study for a pumped hydroelectric facility just store the energy it generates. since. every increase in efficiency means lower costs. but in our company investment always involves protecting the environment. that's part of our strategy.

venus san pedro established in 1965 it sells 72000000 liters of wine a year and uses the same amount of water just to bottle it the chamber of commerce considers the winery exemplary in its commitment to renewable energy and the efficient use of water. i mean that companies in the food industry can't get around adopting measures to enhance energy efficiency especially exporters. their overseas markets where people pay a lot of attention to where goods come from. consumers have become very demanding. when they want to buy wines that have been produced sustainably. without excessive use of water without leaving a massive ecological footprint had. recurrent and persistent droughts mean

irrigation is of increasing importance as our energy efficient an eco friendly delivery systems. the projects we've done so far such as studies we've. have all involved companies that realize they need to act. they come to us and say we want to conduct a feasibility study to see how we can address the energy issue. and enhance energy efficiency. and. eco node processes walnuts it solar panels provide about a 3rd of its electricity that has reduced operating costs and allowed the company to invest more in automation that in turn has raised the not utilization rate. that's important because one of harvest have been declining due to drought.

and. that's because he says energy efficiency is very important. it helps conserve natural resources and reduce carbon emissions. and of course it lowers our costs it's also good for our brand it enhanced our image especially among foreign customers. growers and processors across the food industry say they need to work more closely together in the face of massive water shortages. that way they can utilize the scarce resource as efficiently as possible. many here are worried about the future.
