not all of them come straight hours it's cool to see you but it was no more delusion the marsh the injured come. from the long journey to their final resting place the russians 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 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. to. the engineer. or am. i am you owe me. one europe wide study revealed that around 30.

1000000 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. 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 work. i didn't have a job so i never did anything to say i couldn't have a conversation and so i retreated more and more from the world. this remarkable.

look at 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 old. to post 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 it is just all grey some stuff out of a 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 build. your. most. goto and her teen see themselves as their big sister can suki and di suki don't want to be recognised 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 hot and humid mood. when i'm in my room. how can i get out of here. and how can i stop being a burden on my parents. the parents of he could get

more a 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 set to 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. 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 14 or guitar he wonders if he'll be able to reenter society. quite.

my biggest worry is taking the 1st step up could it the hard. should i leave my home or usual leave my father who looks after me. maybe a fire on my own i would have more clarity about what sort of life i want to live. in then. leaving the house should be so easy but for morry 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 fronting and erosion on a recent assignment there are reports of fires they are trying to through

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

to plant up the whole of the valley with crops eating your meds in the 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 with all of. the adaptation fund is a united nations initiative that aims to help developing countries cope with climate change rwanda has a high percentage of 1st tall volcanic soil that means even the high mountain slopes can be used. 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. 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 1900 which killed around a 1000000 people. on. 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 terraces in

an area like that. you had. a few valleys further on is 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 are each given a plot of land to farm. sanitation facilities and rainwater tanks ensure 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 and kept. following his ear a is one of. the 5 planted potatoes beans and corn on my land.

i have also specialized in leafy vegetables. there especially good for the children to ensure they get a balanced diet plus charge and spinach sell for a particularly good price. the profit to make some selling his fruit and vegetables and sell out to 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 yards or you 1st had to prove that you were a victim of the floods. lost everything in a single night. before that i had been a very successful businessman. but in one fell swoop all of my 63 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 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 that i mean 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. in this way they're building dam most of their design to filter the water and prevent further mudslides and finally there's relief all round as the water starts to drain away. even of the zapruder you will be

discreet movie the sound of water flowing is really music to my ears sunday it makes me happy where you put the someone wrote quote because it means we've got control of the floods for now at least no one who would know if we were you know the utility body to move we don't know how long it will last john knew that quite get it out in the east. 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 heard another snack for you and this time it's from england it's a fast food many brits conquered enough of. the english city of oxford is best known for its elite university is one of the oldest in the world and has just under 24000 students. and mia 2 kilometers away is the other oxford this residential neighborhood is home to cast

some like ynys fish and chip shop. poorly run castle but he knew 1st came to england in the 1960 s. and since 1988 he's been selling that most british of our fast foods deep fried fish and chips and he says it's a lot healthier than many people might think well if you want some food we didn't we didn't do those people do yeah i'm sure if we did those in the morning. there's no preservatives or montezuma's. to describe the risk of a refrigerator defeat itself i think the beans are you believe it's then coated in a batter made of flour salt and baltar and put straight into the deep fryer gunfire to me that's my truth and we do toward it you don't have to live in. the portion

a large book many of his photos have gone on show in galleries in oxford. and my interlink interact with people here and we are all friends so it's just like an outing when i come to see my friends or so now because of the war. so it's good that's what you're going to do with all that come visit. just cooking. 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 said edmund hillary may not have

reached the peak of mt everest back in 1953. the remains 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 porches which these days may very well be women. these 3 women have broken a taboo changing a longstanding tradition. malini dora. me accompany tourists carrying their baggage in the peruvian andes. their destination the famous world heritage site. that. we are so proud of. it was

built by our ancestors and we feel that we're like. 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 a one man. 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 tourism 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 they are served a nutritious 4 course dinner including fresh trout served with a salad. the next morning the tourists settled for the next campsite while the porters stayed 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 and. 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 malini explains. that a much broader before we stayed home and all we could do with salvage doubles which and it's hardly anything but now thanks to this opportunity we're ending much more . and that's good and it's also benefiting our children. to see. the tourists struggle with the lack of oxygen up here on the mountains this old ink and path rises to an altitude of 3 and a half 1000 metres. having grown up here malini giora and know we me are used

to it so they easily overtake the visitors. and they get far ahead of them in no time at all that allows them to set up the tents an 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 me know what it's like. in the evening the porters are introduced. the mountain guide explains that they're now consciously hiring more women to promote greater equality. here malini earns 90 euro's

a 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 is cleaned up coming out of yourself that's. hiking 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 no was 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 march your future 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. and 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. because the authorities are trying to get control of these masses and more and more coming but that's why they introduced the 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 a 4 kilometer long landing strip this could accommodate even intercontinental flights but the question is whether the ancient site of much you preach you will be able to cope with all this attention. repression and discrimination a part of life and 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
