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 or you know women i learned i don't have the debt up with a marriage sexual assault can occur within 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 go there 1st i loved him the fact that she wanted to report her and husband but she insisted that it was right when i got it so we went to the police station and the police just laughed and said but he's your husband and they are not. 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 i do know without. meeting very important for
1:39 am
us because we have to share with you over and you can get what he's relating to what another person is going through and maybe that is how we learn that is not 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 we want to not just come with condoms even if the extra didn't ask for it and start demonstrating on how to use. the term course kaos so we. don't top 6 indication in schools. then there's also the trend of young people who

1:41 am
want to keep to keep our guys in school to reach their highest shore story to find that. being in the down euro it's not a word of. community so you find that center towers are sometimes not truly i love was lucy uses her visits to schools to talk to students about sexual autonomy especially the young women. goalless 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 because the job trap so much you only need are on what because for me i felt i had bad time i lacked someone i could look up to i lacked someone i could talk to like i've been through school and effectively but in my very coolly then i think that's that's all i need.

bill of family's private assets are worth an estimated 9000000000 euros her father kumar bella owns an industrial empire button on your didn't join the family business she set up her own company so tundra microphone and the grants micro loans to people who would normally need tonight a loan she had no prior experience in banking. everyone else. in the industry was in their. early forties their forty's and i was at 17 so initially no wonder we see as the bank was ending seriously no one was willing to lend to me no one was willing to come on board in terms of. all rather toughest thing to get over was getting people on my side and making that better make them understand i'm serious about this and not just i'm a kid but i'm a kid with a vision. indians who were born into poverty usually state.
1:45 am
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 and 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 around $100.00 euro's to buy another cow and increase his production the family needs a 2nd loan to pay for a hospital visit for the father and son of around 400 euros. c a month without life was very difficult before we were struggling a lot. i don't know he's dreamt of having
1:46 am
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 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 every payments 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 weeping right 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 loans.
1:47 am
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 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 so what are helping them in any way we're just trying to provide them with the broad outs 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.
