they told him it was for. beethoven is for the from oif beethoven 2022 to the 50th anniversary here on d w. the body. 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 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 countries 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. so many. me it's

a 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 most of the women i know have had that experience. in. life smartphones have a natural function gods use that to send pictures of the thing. with that of the big city. as a schoolgirl lemon cutter yama was also groped on public transport she kept silent out of shape and because this form of sexual assault seem 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 add that allows users to oppose

harassment and tag the location it already has 40000 registered uses and so 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 3 months after yama hopes it will assure uses don't be ashamed you're not alone even if the police are no help. well you know the feeling of powerlessness has a lot to do with the fact that groping is seen as a normal part of life many victims even worry that if they 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. kids 2 women and girls shown are at the mercy of male

growth has many images are far more violent than b s. we need blogger come up. 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 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've 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 silent 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. so this demonstration is very important to us. and it's a place where we can gather hope. and feel. voices might help change things. but even men are speaking out in solidarity with their daughters. i'm a man but this isn't just a problem that affects other people there on. the me too 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 the stone you know some of the women who've 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 the other way and i 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. loosing 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 going through. our gotten to. before me i experienced violence and with relationships and ours was just that was a to show. about 10 years ago at the age of 90. when 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 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 you know and i learned i don't have the deadlock with a marriage a 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 on. the 1st i love 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 you are not going. to be 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 i don't know what their regular meeting very important for us we have to do and 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 being abused where you know what they've stayed here. there's nothing the will of all 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 school is given the school's reward to not just come with condoms even if their students ask for it and start demonstrating one how to use. that term course kaos so we. did on top 6 education in schools then there's also the trend to get young people who are new to poverty by the toronto sun gods and young women content to engage

with all the people with a cause for those who know for issues or sexual favors so all the times that are supposed to 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 and so she's trying to resolve it. at least we're here because of their daughter girls month initiative which is our monthly initiative where we go to fund schools where we give sanitary towels to girls and mentorship both ways and girls we want to keep to keep our guns in school to reach the highest shore story to find that. being in the diner it's not

a word of community so you find that center towers are sometimes not truly i love will cause lucy uses her visits to schools to talk to students about sexual autonomy especially the young women. ultimate 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. have so much you only need our own wardrobe because for me i felt about time i locked someone i could look up to i like someone i could talk to look at be nice to stop and difficulty but in my very cool then i think that's what's on my mood.

the beginnings in some. who don't approve way of. another village is a pop star in india and she's just been on her 1st tour she doesn't need to make money from music because she's been rich since but. for most of her fans having a life like a 9 years is nothing more than a dream. i think best thing in india being gaby in this version the boy is massive and why we're going up there i always thought of 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

a father kumar owns an industrial empire but the man your didn't join the family business she set up her own company so tundra microphone 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 their need for dean is only 14 and i was at 17 so initially no wonder the bank was indignant seriously no one was willing to lend to me one was willing to come on board and deal with. all rather duffus thing to get over was getting people on my side and making that better make them understand i'm serious about this and i'm not just i'm a kid but i'm a kid with a vision. indian to a 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 so the tundra microphone helps people like these with what's called a micro credit. this farmer has taken out a micro credit of around 100 euro's to buy another cow and increase his production the family needs a 2nd life and to pay for a hospital visit for the father and son of around $400.00 euros. in multiple that life 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 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 an 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 a chip in and looping right and that pressure it added a bit of pressure. put private bank has already helped more than half a 1000000 women across india. demand is very high for these micro loans. 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 their own 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 pass with principal and interest when i helping them in any way i would just try and provide them with a broad out that would support them to do all. this is a chance for people to break free from poverty a chance that they might not have got from anyone else.

ok the chief. this week on global team comes from mexico. you know my name is evil and i'm on a well i don't live in the school. i meet the employer to my free time i like to do take $1.00 the martial art and play video games one movie there where walls.

ok so what makes me happy is being with my friends my family and my relatives. and then 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 land or in the. now in global ideas we're off to chile in south america as

a nation blessed with tons of sunshine chilling scene we destined to make use of solar energy around the town of molina on reports that alexa miami discovered been 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 molino 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 at. 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 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 it 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. we master rate all that and feed the plant with it all year round you know. 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 chilean chamber of commerce and industry it's considering a feasibility study for a pumped hydroelectric facility just store the energy it generates. every increase in efficiency means lower costs. but in our company investment always involves protecting the environment so. that's part of

a strategy. that i feel. 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 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 have. 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 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 our nation 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 and hans's 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. to many here are worried about the future.
