welcome to global 3000. this week we meet range of refugees who are facing huge obstacles when it comes to starting a new life abroad. in uganda we learn how start ups are bringing about

a transport revolution jaring the coronavirus not down. but fast women in afghanistan fear that a return of the taliban could threaten their heart one freedoms. 18 years after the islamist taliban were driven from power in afghanistan women in the country still face discrimination and hardship doesn't lack of schools particularly for girls in 2018 as much as 90 percent of women had only attended primary school many around able to read or write. after the taliban were ousted during a u.s. led military intervention in late 2001 women hope their lives would change for the better but the western military alliance is gradually pulled out of afghanistan and many now fear a return of the tarot and i say sion according to a survey by a us research consultancy gallup almost. half of all afghan women would leave the

country if they could have a summer determined to fight for their rights at home. working out his guys who yardies wife beating stress attacks occur on an almost daily basis in kabul where she lives it's a city in a constant state of emergency. guys yari works for afghanistan's government in the muslim countries male dominated society she's a woman in a position of leadership. and she's surrounded by a lot of toxicology she says. she comes to the gym to one wind. living in their conflict zone in a country that is struggling so much in different layers i think if a strong woman who are men who are leading do not take care of themselves mental lies at the center of physical what is the thing they will not be capable of leading and managing their work. yari heads up an all male team

whose job it is to reform the civil service the team investigates complaints relating to issues such as the awarding of positions and the sluggish bureaucracy. the afghan administration is rife with nepotism and corruption problems that the government has pledged to clamp down on. i think sometimes i'm jazzed because i'm a woman and i read it bald about my statements and with possible way right to use advocacy work out monies and meetings i think those. in the when i get to certain things in the commission are not received when. guys are yari leads an unconventional life she's unmarried and lives with her nieces and nephews as a child she was betrothed to a member of the taliban but later escaped to the u.s. many men in her family were killed in the years of conflict but her brother

survived. geyser yari studied in the u.s. and returned to afghanistan where she belongs to a new generation of educated young women who insist on their rights she would even be willing to negotiate with the taliban whether group to return to power. 200 kilometers away in rural afghanistan life for women is much harder. tanya nori runs a restaurant it's a safe space for women she also belongs to a generation of afghan women who refused to be confined to their homes. under the taliban regime girls were barred from going to school young women couldn't study at university women weren't allowed to leave their homes unaccompanied only with their husbands they had to wear burkas we weren't even allowed to wear sandals. as well as working in the restaurant tania nori studies dentistry a considerable workload but she doesn't mind. studying and running

a restaurant wasn't what her family had planned for her. but she has her husband support. i want to be a role model for other women. i want to encourage them they should understand that women can stand on their own 2 feet. she employs mainly women. many of the customers come because they want to support the restaurant. on fridays guys who yari goes hiking with her family in the mountains outside kabul . her family take a liberal approach to gender roles that's unusual in this highly traditional country. guys yari believes in freedom for everyone for me i think freedom means. thinking freely making my choice freely walking freely. giving my ideas my opinions freely

without any limitations. but what would she do if that freedom were denied her if that were the price of peace in afghanistan. that would be horrible i hope i hope taliban will not take our freedom our way and we have fought very hard and the past 19 years i don't think afghan women are really to lose this so. i will fight fight for herself and for the freedom of future generations of women in afghanistan . repression and discrimination are part of life and many women around the world not just in afghanistan on our facebook channel d.w. women you'll find stories about those taking a stand and inspiring others d.w. women gives a voice to women everywhere. to southeast asia now west

and me in ma is home to the range of people according to the un that one of the world's most persecuted minority groups in may need buddhist me and mom the predominantly muslim or hinge i'm not allowed to vote they have no access to higher education and their villages and places of worship are frequently attacked several 100 settlements have been set alight and many residents killed. many are hinge a have fled the country around 900000 now live in neighboring bangladesh others have sought refuge in india pakistan indonesia and malaysia but their host countries are often anything but welcoming. abu sytycd desperate journey began in 2014 over nice you had to flee his fishing village. together with thousands of other rohingya muslims he fled the military's

brutal persecution in his home country of me and maher. all about it that they came to burn down our houses we ran for our lives then a fire engine came and we thought it would put out the fire instead it sprayed gasoline onto the fire and the entire village burst into flames. eventually obtuse adik ended up in the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur many who travelled with him on the secret smuggling routes died along the way at liberty we lost everything in our homes our land our identity now we are stuck in a country and we know nothing about. i mean the north you know it's your money. nearly 180000 refugees and asylum seekers live in malaysia most of the. my rowing go for decades the country has refused to sign the un geneva convention of 951 for

malaysia's refugees that means no recognised status no protection and no rights. children are the worst affected malaysia hinders their access to an education 2 thirds of the children do not go to school at all the rest attend informal learning centers such as the few g. school. deborah henry founded the private school in 2009 it's funded by donations many of the children here are traumatised. i remember when i 1st started working with the students we did this activity i gave them pieces of paper and crayons and i said to them just draw something you know your family and your favorite things and their pages remained blank and what caused that why why were they not able to dream and to and to create and to think outside of the box and i think they've gone through so much that you just couldn't they

couldn't see beyond now what do you do to like story someone's imagination to get them dreaming in. 'd 'd the children learn english and math to the future to school and they're encouraged to develop self-confidence in the sense of personal responsibility when they're ready to put in the effort they can achieve a loss that's the message that founder deborah henry wants to send to. scientists. trying to find you know. find. that. deborah henry began working as a fashion model when she was 15 she became one of the most famous beauty. queens of malaysia but then she had the idea to put her fame to good use to fight for

refugees rights. with this movement i posted a documentary i visited these refugees out he's living 20 minutes from our beautiful twin towers and i couldn't believe that they were here in malaysia in my home and they weren't going to school and i think that was a big turning point for a kid in this well today without an education or setting them up to fail. after fleeing me in march abu sidique struggled for 6 years to survive in malaysia . 6 years in which he had no legal work promise and was forced to do odd jobs to feed himself and his family. 6 years in which they received no medical care.

we miss our homeland very much we ask the international community to find justice for us we want to go home if we can we can't bear living as refugees in a foreign country we hope that the international community will help end the conflict so that my country can be of peace and we can return to our homeland god willing. there's no beach on a. journey is not over yet the united states approved his asylum application a few weeks ago. his wife and their 2 children will be resettled in the midwest a 2nd you beginning. something hundreds of thousands of others

in malaysia can only dream about many refugees here feel abandoned by the government without an official status and opportunities they have been silenced and marginalized. the average malaysian will live life and never meet a refugee and so why should a refugee matter to them how is this going to affect their life how do we tell that story of what it means to be a refugee in the fact that is anyone can be a refugee it's not a function of your wealth your education and privilege anyone can be a refugee just like that and so what then what role do you play when you're in a position where you are born into a state where you don't have conflict and war how can you then lend a hand to someone else in need. with her few g.'s school deborah henry has made it possible for $400.00 refugee children to receive an education and she will continue to fight for refugee rights in malaysia.

by the end of this century the u.n. estimates there will be just under 11000000000 people living on our planet in order to accommodate the mole an additional 2000000000 new homes will need to be built by 2100 a nightmare for the environment says most buildings a main from concrete which is made from cement by the middle of the century the demand for cement to set to rise by 25 percent a year cement production uses a lot of energy and creates huge amounts of climate damaging c o 2 so we need building materials which and don't contain cement and which are affordable. to man with one vision. we want to transform the construction industry with cement. free concrete with support from businesses they're constructing

a display house it's their 1st attempt to use the material in their impishness project a significant step toward their goal it's kind of an amazing feeling we didn't think much of this week it's good to think. because there was a lot of and we are quite happy to see there in. london spent years researching cement free building materials at the swiss federal institute of technology in zurich cement is responsible for 80 percent of worldwide carbon emissions a more sustainable building material is long overdue lundell founded on construction sites where every year millions of tons of clay based excavation materials are disposed of but when they're mixed with a naturally occurring mineral and water they result in a construction material that's more environmentally friendly than standard concrete or some corporate cement free of concrete is up to 90 percent.

c o 2 production done compared to conventional concrete and the. advantage is that we'd all. like primary and home i tell you that come from a place in a crowd from inside and. in some areas in the war but we use construction waste the landfill most of the time and. they are much as cheap to therefore like and reduce the price of the material. of this earth concrete can be processed more or less like standard concrete. but it currently around half the cost. yeah the landreau was inspired by building practices in his home country he grew up in togo where clay or earth houses are a common sight in many countries in africa cement this.

kind of wall therefore you need to have a ventilation system and stuff like this when you've done a thing. together with his colleague. he's founded a start up there was a shortage of housing all over the world these days the construction industry is under pressure not to waste resources there's a demand for the cement free concrete in industrialized nations but also in countries where affordability is a priority including in parts of africa where millions of new homes need to be built in the upcoming years. we have plans for. we need to build houses for 2000000000 people. and. most of these have to be built in country where.

the building material costs more. therefore. it's really important it's. our dream and. being able to implement. a huge achievement for. people to have. sustainable accommodation. the display home is one step closer to fulfilling that dream. drawing walls will undergo further tests as the 2 scientists work to optimize their furth concrete one day they hope it will be a bedrock of the construction industry.

this weekend label ideas we find out about a potential shift towards climate friendly methods of transport. hopped on a motorcycle and rode around uganda's capital kampala the coronavirus crisis the normally chaotic roads are empty and the city could become the starting point for a transport revolution across the whole nation. coronavirus look down. the streets of never been so empty but francis archaea is allowed she delivers a shows and something else is different francis is one of the few people in uganda driving an electric motor bike and he sees a lot of advantages to it and i wanted to silent now but to doesn't question fuel at all. number 3. claims very aware.

ok as for deliveries being eagerly awaited play pregnant customer. since he serves them few well he can charge less than his competitors. he's actually very cheap to buy them in the end. i think. they go there that people are doubling their praise so literally inconvenient for me. images from just weeks ago. in kampala alone there are about 830000 motorcycles oh border borders. the masses of motor racing for a cause generate a huge amount of air pollution and c o 2 emissions. that is why the united nations environment program the unit provides advice and financial support for electric mobility in eastern africa. we need the media we need intermediary interventions and

electric mobility is one of those because it's. not a structure they need they don't need so you can have it. and go on. varmint part but path requires pioneers like been located korea and. the graduates of arkin university in germany had a problematic idea take your ready existing fuel motorbikes in kampala and transform them into electric bikes. so all we remove. the petrol power train. petrol driven. we poured an electric. can see it's the same bike fuel trying to empty of course. and what we put inside is mainly a controller and the electrical solar electric more thought. about tree as

a source of power replacing the fuel tank. some digital controls of throttle lithium ion batteries become an old laptops are assembled into rechargeable battery units for the e. bike and the recycling loop continues even when the batteries become too weak to use in the e. bikes so what we do get the new about trees use it for the mobility after that when they lose a bit of power we either put it put it in storage systems like power or power reserves one loses again that it of power we go through touches another small hour before it goes through to be disposed. delivery month france is so clear it's one of the 20 drivers testing the transformed bikes. on average

he has to return to bordeaux walk twice a day to recharge. he rents the batteries for the event of less than 3 euros a day. only knows these cards he's operating costs by half but there is still one thing that bothers him. world of one place where we where we swap the batteries. but in that event i don't get the feedback about all we are getting from the border guys is also also because. it doubles their income saw families. we see kids being brought from the village that are now schooling in kampala because the writers have more money. and this right days germany jimmy had done a new trade. he had worked for a solar energy company for several years before he decided to try to make a company as motorbikes cleena. with his startup zimbo he now imports cutting edge

electric motor bikes from china. each one sells for about a 1000 euros that's quite a bit of money but the drivers can be over a period of 2 years. and the bikes are tailored to their specific needs here our driving is different than chinese person commuting to work here we really look into productive he was hundreds of kilometers every day. there is still a long way to go all right. only if you. only live very this start up a slow 20 bikes so far. and they expect 18 more within the next 2 months. zain boys are already creating employment sorrow tabel couldn't find a job for 2 years now she's in charge of marketing actually it makes me feel very

very proud of myself that i'm contributing a lot to be part of the great team which is actually part of beauty. to eat mobility for a small fee of just over half a euro is number driver can exchange and into botching fully charged $1.00. this is important like some live brain system electricity comes from this solar energy ari on top of the company's building. for more solid charging points are planned and people assume. energy is generated within the country not like you which is imported from outside. so this has a huge impact on the environment. and we were briefed here in kampala i see even 10 years you know if you want to psych assault anymore in the world

market it's an outdated technology these green technology behind francis appears deliveries is a sign of hope in 2 ways providing for people's needs in the local down and for clean the country once the pandemic is over. that's all from us at global 3000 this week as you know we love hearing from you so write to us at global street thousands at d. w. dot com and to check out our facebook page d w women see you next time. how
