being the 1st form of water to be responsible for the church. while. we go in search of a. good start to make on t w. the eve. welcome to global 3000. today we head to the peruvian andes to meet a few trailblazing women who are willing to bear 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 animals 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 on line the result is a sharp rise in loneliness millions of men and women cut off from society devoid of a sense of belonging. thank. you. i am. the as i am you. one europe wide study revealed that around 30. 1000000

europeans regularly feel lonely about 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 done that would look like the i didn't have a job so i never had anything to say so i couldn't have a conversation and so i retreated more and more from the world. this remarkable.

turkey is what's known in japan. 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. i've been looking at the same view for 35 years. to post some might say it's a lovely view. but when i'm not feeling well i see everything as though it were shrouded in the greatest. grey summer stock of our. 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 when it's not enough that makes it even harder to help them. most to keep good morning. goto and her team see themselves as their big sister can suki and die suki don't want to be recognised the fact they've managed to leave their dreams 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 start being a burden on my parents. the parents of his

mori 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 their 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 their parents get the harder it is for them to look after their children. 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 now aged 40 or guitar he wonders if he'll be able to reenter society. quite.

my biggest worry is taking the 1st step out of credit that's the hard bit. should i leave my home or you should i leave my father who looks after me well maybe a fire on my own i would have more clarity about what sort of life i want to live through. that could come soon than. 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 farmers lives anything but easy rainfall commonly leads to flooding and erosion on a recent assignment there are reports of fires saying are trudged through

a fashion or of mud she met with people in northern rwanda who are taking measures to reduce the incidence of flooding. with the farmers of the co-operative distraught what looks like a lake is actually potato in cornfields 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. 1st of all a project manager from the adaptation funds came to see us this and found that other people came to prepare the construction work and to get an idea of the terrain and. some. once they were finished with their work we were finally able to

plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating your muslin though 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 this way. the adaptation fund is a united nations initiative that aims to help developing countries cope with climate change where land that has a high percentage of 1st tall volcanic soil that means that even the high mountain slopes can be used for our pull farming the problem is heavy rain washes the soil down into the valley the solution is to build terrorist states 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 so 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 meters 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 1904 which killed around a 1000000 people. we found bodies under this field of people killed during the genocide. so we didn't get 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 had. a few valleys further on and. the cabbage 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 farm. sanitation facilities and rainwater tanks and chill clean water is available and each family is also given a cow. more than $200.00 flood victims from the region have found a new home and can be. aloysius retire his theory is one of them. from what i've planted potatoes beans and corn on my land.

a house in the green village today the stream 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 warned them about how dangerous it is here but in densely populated rwanda every piece of farmland is needed and jobs 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 their own tailoring business. they make everything from festive gowns to more every day items with bags and other accessories to match. 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 while a lot. to. me is. 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 stones. they then carry them to one of the many small water channels. the. in this way that building dam most of that designed to filter the water and prevent further mudslides and finally does relief all round as the water starts to drain away. the gun good or even of the zapruder

you could move it is great movie the sound of water flowing is really music to my ears on be you know makes me happy where you put the surviving rocor because it means we've got control of the floods for now at least when the one who would know if we were you the utility body to move we don't know how long it will last time news are quite good actually released. 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 another snack for you and this time it's from england it's a fast food many brits confident enough of. the english city of oxford is best known for it's an elite university it's one of the oldest in the world and has just under $24000.00 students. and mia 2 kilometers away is the other oxford this residential neighborhood is home to

reached the peak of mt everest back in 1953. the ruins of the ancient city of matchy picchu lie in the peruvian andes this site is a tourist magnet but many wouldn't manage the journey without the help of porsches which these days may very well be women in. these 3 women have broken the taboo changing a longstanding tradition. malini dora. knowing me accompanied tourists carrying their baggage in the peruvian andes. to 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 then we're 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 i mean. boss 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 stayed behind to pack everything up luggage tents and couldn't hear 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 picchu 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 has hardly anything but now thanks to this opportunity where anything much more. and that's good and it's also benefiting our children. to see. the tourist struggle with a lack of oxygen up here in the mountains this old ink and path rises to an altitude of 3 and a half 1000 metres. having grown up here giora and knowing me are used

to it so they usually overtake the visitors. and they get far ahead of them in no time at all that allows them to set up the tents in 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 reporters march right past you all the same great let me know what it's like to be 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's

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 that's why they introduced a maximum number and. 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 a 4 kilometer long landing strip this could accommodate even intercontinental flights but the question is whether the ancient site of montreux preacher will be able to cope with all of 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 same d.w. women gives a voice to the women of. and
