glee. was going to come straight from hard to score a c. d. but it was no more delusion the mush the injured. from. the loss to their final resting place the russian's w. documentary. welcome to global 3000. today we head to the peruvian andes to meet a few trailblazing women who are willing to bet a heavy burden to make gains in gender equality. in rwanda heavy rainfall can devastate entire villages and farmland farmers are taking measures to protect themselves from flooding. and we hear about thousands of people in japan who choose

to live in isolation unable to cope with the pressures they feel society imposes on them. a social animal say sociologists and traditionally life was lived in tribes or extended families that made things like gathering food looking after one another and surviving both easier and more likely but over time we became increasingly self-reliant now people are often left to fend for themselves in densely populated cities community tends to be something that takes place only online the result is a sharp rise in loneliness millions of men and women cut off from society devoid of a sense of belonging. to. do only. one europe wide study revealed that around. $30000000.00

europeans regularly feel lonely that's 7 percent of the overall population. in japan too many people live in total isolation for years even decades. tokyo a vibrant mega city home to 15000000 people but some tokyo residents find it a challenging place to live they say it's too busy too noisy so they simply don't leave their homes sometimes for a few months sometimes for decades. aga turkey is one of these modern day hermits he hardly ever leaves his room he decided to become a recluse 15 years ago. i was learning french at the time the teacher would always ask us what we don't that would look like i didn't have a job so i never did anything to say i couldn't have a conversation and it was so i retreated more and more from the world. this

remarkable. turkey is what's known in japan as a he kiko mori which basically means pulling inward being confined they spend their days cooped up in their homes on the internet playing video games they can't cope with the pressures of the outside world. you might be looking at the same view for 35 years. to pushed some might say it's a lovely view. when i'm not feeling well i see everything as though it were shrouded in the greatest. grace and stuck to the god. japan is now reportedly home to over a 1000000 he komori possibly even more it's hard to compile exact figures they fear school or work they fear failure in japanese society being different or standing out is frowned upon without outside help it's hard for these people to find

people afraid of he could comare. when the parents no longer feel able to talk openly about their children and share their concerns with others it's not enough that makes it even harder to help them. most to keep good morning. goto in her teens see themselves as their big sister can suki and die suki don't want to be recognized the fact they've managed to leave their rooms to attend a consultation is already a major achievement. on a scale of one to 10 today i feel minus 3 it's humid in a bad mood. and when i'm in my room i can think is how can i get out of here. and how can i stop being a burden on my parents. the parents of

maury often suffer as much as they do they often feel a strong sense of shame publicly admitting that their child has no job and no friends would be humiliating so they keep quiet often hiding them from the neighbors for example in this way they're complicit in maintaining their child's isolation it's a problem that sets become even more acute in the coming year. in japan we talk about the 8050 problem. when the parents are 83rd children or 50. and the older the parents get the harder it is for them to look after their children that. traditionally japanese culture emphasised conformity for people who feel different staying within their own 4 walls can seem like a safe option but this self-imposed exile can become impossible to escape aged 14

or guitar he wonders if he'll be able to reenter society. quite. my biggest worry is taking the 1st step up. that's the hard bit. should i leave my home or you should i leave my father who looks after me with me maybe a fire on my own i would have more clarity about what sort of life i want to live through. that i mean it could come soon that. leaving the house should be so easy but for he could go more a it's a terrifying step if the world outside better understood the condition perhaps it would help them reintegrate. and now we had to africa rwanda is known rather poetically as the land of a 1000 hills but such topography makes farm as lives anything but easy rainfall commonly leads to fronting and erosion on

a recent assignment there are reports of fires saying are trying to through a fashion of mud she met with people in northern rwanda who are taking measures to reduce the incidence of flooding. in. the farmers of the co-operative distraught what looks like a lake is actually potato and corn fields everything is under water the harvest is lost. the only road through the valley is also flooded. everything that needs to be transported now has to be carried around the lake yet the valley is supposed to be protected against floods. first of all a project manager from the out of titian fund came to see us in the fog then other people came to prepare the construction work and to get an idea of the terrain. so . once they were finished with their work we were finally able to plant up the

whole of the valley with crops. they dug drainage ditches everywhere. then the project was over. but not long after they left we realized the problem still wasn't solved the water just came back. the adaptation fund is a united nations initiative that anxious to help developing countries cope with climate change rwanda has a high percentage of fertile volcanic soil that means that even the high mountain slopes can be used to barrel farming the problem is heavy rain washes the soil down into the valley the solution is to build terraces into the slopes following the example of the incas in south america. for we knew about building terraces no soil on the slopes just used to get washed into the valley. there was no point in using

the newer fertilizer. but now whatever we use stays where it's meant to be with the crops on the terraces are growing faster and we have better harvest. now all the mountain villages here have built terraces it's a time consuming process the steps in the slope need to be at least 5 metres deep once complete the ground then needs to rest for 3 months sometimes there are unexpected obstacles farmers have stumbled across on mt graves left from the genocide in 1994 which killed around a 1000000 people. we found bodies under this field of people killed during the genocide. so we didn't do it any further there used to be a house here presumably there was a massacre and they just dumped all the bodies under there we don't dig terrorists

in an area like that. you have. a few valleys further on as the cabbie green village it's one of many so-called green villages in rwanda helping to promote sustainable development. each village has its own school. local families each given a plot of land to fund. sanitation facilities and rainwater tanks and chal clean water is available and each family is also given a cow. more than 200 flood victims from the region have found a new home in cabo. follow us retire his ear a is one of them. meanwhile i've planted potatoes beans and corn on my land.

now and what i've also specialized in leaf vegetables and they're especially good for the children to ensure they get a balanced diet plus the charred and spinach sell for a particularly good price. the profits he makes on selling his fruits and vegetables are allowed him to build up a flock of sheep again. he now has a few chickens to. just one year ago things were very different. with them along with a new order to get a house and car yasser you 1st had to prove that you were a victim of the floods. we lost everything in a single night. before that i had been a very successful businessman. but in one fell swoop all of my 60. 3 cars were gone everything i possessed was destroyed by the rain. i thought i would lose my mind. but his neighbors gathered signatures to ensure he got

a house in the green village today the string that washed away his house looks quite harmless. and now the building has been put out where his once stood with a new family living in it. he want them about how dangerous it is here but intentionally populated rwanda every piece of farmland is needed and job's are in short supply. work outside of the farming sector is especially hard to come by in rural areas but a center for regional handicrafts opened recently here a small group of women are running that i mean tailoring business. they make everything from festive gowns to more every day items with bags and other accessories to match. and it's so much easier to make

a living from sewing the work here is seasonal too but i earn well between 25 and 30000 rwandan francs a week. you can live well a lot. we make our way back to the farm as co-operative. anyone capable of holding a shovel is out in the fields doing their bit everyone is hoping that if they can move enough mud out of the way the water will drain off. the women dig out the big stone. they then carry them to one of the many small water channels. in this way that building dam most of them are designed to filter the water and prevent further mudslides and finally there's relief all round as the water starts to drain away. the ground you know even of the

zapruder you couldn't move it is being moved by the sound of water flowing is really music to my years on the it makes me happy where you could be someone wrote quote because it means we've got control of the floods for now at least one who would know if we were you the utility body to move we don't know how long it will last time music why get it on tuesday. but it's too late to save the harvest what the farmers really need is a more permanent solution that hoping and praying for a change. we've got and now this snack for you and this time it's from england it's a fast food many critics calling it enough of. the english city of oxford is best known for its elite university it's one of the oldest in the world and has just under 24000 students. and mia

a large book many of his photos have gone on show in galleries in oxford. interlink interact with people here who've been my friends so it's just like an outing i come to see my friends or so it happens that i want to see this good that's what gives me what i do with all the numbers are. just crucial. trekking in the mountains the ultimate challenge for ambitious hikers and a source of income for those who carry their bags and supplies like the ship the people of the himalayas for example for over 100 years they've served as porters. without the help of the sherpa tenzing norgay segment hillary may not have reached

the peak of mt everest back in 1953. the ruins of the ancient city of matchy picchu lie in the peruvian andes the site is a tourist magnet but many wouldn't manage the journey without the help of porters which these days may very well be women. these 3 women have broken a taboo changing a longstanding tradition. malini dora and. noaimi accompanied tourists carrying their baggage in the peruvian andes. their destination the famous world here at its side. that. we are so proud of much of. it was

built by our ancestors and we feel that we're like them was strong and we can manage everything. they've broken into a male dominated world by becoming the 1st female porters in peru with the help of one man that means. both also comes from a rural area so he's aware that women aren't toys on an equal footing with men that's why he lets us work in the terrorism industry. after setting up the turns the women help the chef they barely take a break. the tourists get only the best treatment at this high altitude there served a nutritious 4 course dinner including fresh trout served with a salad. the next morning the tourists set out for the next campsite while the porters stay behind to pack everything up luggage tents and cooking gear it's

a tough job but it provides them an income and allows them more independence from the man. the mountain truck to much of peach or takes 3 days during that time the porters children are being looked after back home by their grandparents as 27 year old man leaning explains. that in the broader before we stayed home and all we could do with salvage doubles which owned us hardly anything but now thanks to this opportunity where ending much more. and that's good and it's also benefiting our children. but. the tourists struggle with the lack of oxygen up here in the mountains this old ink and path rises to an altitude of 3 and a half 1000 meters. having grown up here giora and knowing me are used

to it. so they easily overtake the visitors. and then they get far ahead of them in no time at all that allows them to set up the turns to advance and have them ready before the group arrives. the temperatures up here are close to freezing but that doesn't seem to bother the porters. leandro from argentina is happy to have managed the 1st stage. unbelievable you give your all and the porters march right past you all the same great let's meet up what it's like. in the evening the porters are introduced the mountain guide explains that they are now consciously hiring more women to promote greater equality. here malini earns 90 euro zone

week which is not a bad wage for the peruvian andes. in the morning it's minus 3 degrees celsius the next part will be the most difficult leg of the hike ascending to the pass at 4650 meters daughter of korea is travelling this route for the 1st time even though it's hard work she's very proud to have gotten this job if we end up coming at you that's. taking on this mountain path is just wonderful it's a chance for me to see more of my country i never had the opportunity to do this before. only now as a porter. my washing up after lunch money explains just how much things have

changed in her generation. mothers weren't even allowed to go to school they had to stay at home wash the clothes and do the cooking while the men were free to go to school. fortunately today everyone is equal and we women finally have the same rights but they're still denied one bright going to macho picchu it's so crowded only tourists are allowed to continue from here on the visitors express their gratitude to the women. the hikers pass on an extra tip for the women's hard work. then it's time to say goodbye. at 6 o'clock the next morning the crowds queue up to enter south america's number one tourist magnet. the incas hid their holiest site from the spanish conquistadores for centuries now thousands of

tourists poor through the ruins every day each group only gets a limited amount of time. to go to the authorities are trying to get control of these masses and more and more coming and that's why they introduced a maximum number. the problem is more and more people want to come so many in fact that an airport is being built next to the site with the 4 kilometer long landing strip this could accommodate even intercontinental flights but the question is whether the ancient site of montreux picchu will be able to cope with all this attention. repression and discrimination a part of life for many women around the world on our new facebook channel d.w. women you'll find stories about those taking a stand and inspiring others to do the saying d.w. women gives a voice to the women of. and
