the global corona crisis you can find more information online at g.w. dot com and on t.w. social media channels. welcome to global 3000 harassment 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 nairobi's poorest districts a young woman is raising awareness about gender violence. and the daughter of an indian billionaire office micro finance to poor rural women to help improve the

lives of their families. whether it's being whistled at 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 brokers all what the japanese call she can't.

show me. new man touched me on the train once i didn't say anything i stayed quiet . it was unpleasant and i just endured it. touching happens a lot up here i think most of the women i know have had that experience. like smartphones have a natural function gods use that to send pictures of the thing. that they're all about the big city. as a schoolgirl lemon cutter yama was also groped on public transport she kept silent out of shame and because this form of sexual assault seem to be an accepted part of japanese society even today it's just missed as a trivial offense victims and bystanders are encouraged to call the police but that rarely happens and 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 at that allows users to oppose harassment and tag the location it already has 40000 registered uses. 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 for a moment hatoyama hopes it will assure uses don't be ashamed you're not alone even if the police are no help 3. 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. here 2 women and girls shown are at the mercy of male

growth as many images are far more violent than the us. we need blogger to come. she was still in 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 realized men will only be able to understand the problem if we talk about it loud and clear . she's also taken her message under social media. come back oh god 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 $500.00 people attend but today they are fewer

because of a typhoon. over one reason we're here is because in march several cases of sexual assault resulted in acquittals. 4 of them. left the crowd falls on and for many here it's the 1st time they've spoken about their experiences of sexual harassment and assault has long been to topic in japan . so 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 . i say even men are speaking out in solidarity with their daughter has. discouraged by man but this isn't just a problem that affects other people the world around me. to me too movement may be bigger in other countries but in japan a country famous. it's reticence the flower demos are practically

a revolution don't you see this don't you know some of the women have spoken out about incidents they felt they could never talk about it gets the problem out into the open and gives women the feeling that they're in it together. not. 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. of losing one she couldn't django 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 through. our got to. be for me i experienced violence and with relationships and ours was tested positive for each eye and 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 meetup for women in the settlement to talk about sexual violence including from their 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 so you know i'm an island and then of the dead it with a matter of sexual assault can occur 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 on. the 1st i love to the fact that she wanted to report her 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 they are now they're. 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 do what would be. very important for us because we have to share with you and then you can get what he's relating to

what another person is going through and maybe that is how we learn that this is not normal like being abused where you know what they've read here for. sexual abuse is normal 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 school. everyone in high schools even the schools we want to 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. still don't top 6 education in schools then there's also the trend of. young people who do to public. played the toronto sun gods and young women content in gage with

all the people who they post photos for issues or social service. for times that are suppose for them for actual. 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 so she's trying to resolve it. we're here because of their doctor girls month initiative which is our monthly initiative where we go to 5 schools where we give senator charles 2 grants and mentorship to both was asked we want to keep to keep our guys in school to reach the highest short story you find that. being in the world under a it's not

a world of communities so you find that center towers are sometimes not truly i love will lucy uses her visits to schools to talk to stephen it's 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 dog to have so much you only need our own wardrobe because for me i felt about time i lacked someone i could look up to i liked someone i could talk to like i've been through and effect on t.v. but in my very new career then i think that's that's all i need.

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 a better seeds or a simple machine to dramatically improve a farmer's lot in life it allows their children to get an education and with it the chance of a better future micro financing can 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.

the given is that. you don't choose where you're born. and then your village is a pop star in india and she's just been on her fast all she doesn't need to make money from music because she's been rich since birth. for most of her fans having a life like a 9 years is nothing more than a dream. i think questioning india. gab between the rich and the board is massive and while growing up there always sort of been me from within and i want to do something to bridge that gap. the bill of 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 so i turned to a microphone that grants micro loans to people who would normally be tonight alone she had no prior experience in banking. and. everyone else. in the industry was in they need. only 4 days they had 4 and i was at 17 so initially no wonder we see a bank was indeed mysteriously no one was willing to lend to me one was willing to come on board in deal with. all rather toughest thing to get over was getting people on my side and making that better make them understand that i'm serious about this and not just on the kid but i'm a kid with a vision. indians who were born into poverty usually state.

the cost system often determines people's social status and chances of climbing the ladder and so i just 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 so tom true microphone helps people like these with what's called a micro credit. this farmer has taken out a micro credit of a brown 100 year use 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 $400.00 euros. the mother. came up with her life it was very difficult before we were struggling a lot. i don't always 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 down to around $30000000.00 euros in my current credits mostly to women the money goes towards all kinds of things like machines animals a new house a car and insurance around 99 percent of the borrowers keep up with that repayments because of the new special system. and so i create us on the coast so we put. these in a group and if one doesn't g.p. then everyone all the other leaders have to chip in and. and that pressure it as a little bit of pressure. put 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. the process is simple customers apply for a loan online using an app. every customer gets that are in digital account. and then your maintains that she's not a charity. i think we are a catalyst for their growth i mean that's what i would like to see because if you pass with principal and interest what are helping them in any way i would just i provide them with a broad out that would support them to grow. this is a chance for people to break free from poverty a chance that they might not have got from anyone else.

i. will gladly cheat. this week on global team comes from mexico. to. me not my name is evil on them i know well and i live in a school. with. no life. any temporally order my free time i like to do or take $1.00 the martial art and play video games where balls.

ok so what makes me happy is being with my friends my family and my relatives. and i don't think so back then i 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. 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 on the land or in the air . now in global ideas we're off to chile in south america as

a nation blessed with tons of sunshine chile seems to make use of solar energy around the town with my lena all reports that alexa maya discovered 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. you know and that's

a big problem in chile. you know granted morales has 400 hector's under cultivation half his grapes go to another larger one every 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 write all that and feed the plant with it or year round. but. solar panels on the roof of the winery have already cut energy costs by a 3rd mean your san pedro aims to have switched entirely to renewable energy by 2021. with financial support from the german chamber of commerce and industry it's considering a feasibility study for a pumped hydro electric facility just store the energy it generates. every increase in efficiency means lower costs. but in our company investment

always involves protecting the environment. that's part of our strategy. vignette 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 companies in the food industry can't get around adopting measures to harness 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 are energy efficient and eco friendly delivery systems. but in. the projects we've done so far such as studies we. 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 enhanced energy efficiency. going to. an eco node processes walnuts it's 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 enhances our image especially among foreign customers. the. 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.

that's all from us i play ball 3000 this time we're back next week but don't forget we love hearing from you so send us your feedback global 3000 at d w dot com. then check us out on facebook the women say you see take care.
