struggling to survive and we need the babies in the ukraine waiting for their parents why aren't they coming to collect them. whether hetero or homo sexual many couples worldwide share the same dream to have a baby the 1st time though this doesn't happen naturally and that's where sarkozy can come in surrogate mothers become pregnant and bear a child on behalf of someone else usually for a fee. to see is a multi-billion dollar business and growing according to one study by 2025 the global surrogacy sector will be worth $27500000000.00 u.s. dollars that even though it's banned in many countries india is the world's leading market for sarkozy with costs averaging $25000.00 u.s. dollars in ukraine it's more like $30000.00 often much more. the

coronavirus pandemic led to ukraine closing its borders in march denying entry to many foreign visitors including couples eager to collect their baby. although no minutes and her colleagues have their hands full these days. but i am certain we look after each baby as well as possible. they are caring for about 100 newborn babies stuck in this hotel in kiev. they were carried to term by ukrainian surrogate mothers with their biological parents in other countries. but then ukraine imposed a ban on foreign visitors because of the coronavirus crisis. began in march we suddenly had children but no parents after the borders were closed and the parents couldn't come and pick them up but we look after the babies day and

night we try to be like parents to them that is a minute even though that's impossible and that was live or. the ethnic militias that i missed. when video of the babies was released recently it drew the world's attention to the scale of commercial surrogacy in ukraine. this woman we'll call her natasha is working as a surrogate mother. she usually lives with her parents in a country village she has 2 children of her own is divorced and otherwise out of work her dream is to have a home of her own. with a case this will lay the groundwork for i will have my own 4 walls and a roof over my head i will find a job and build myself a house but i've see the scars and. she is spending the final weeks of the pregnancy with another surrogate mother in kiev the surrogacy agency found her the apartment today her case manager has come to visit. natasha gets $300.00

euros a month and then $14000.00 euros after the birth if all goes well there is an extra fee for twins or a syrian she's got to know the biological parents and is in regular contact with them and. when the border is that it's a couple in denmark very nice people will talk with the help of the agency because i don't speak english. we send each other videos and stay in touch. she would be. the surrogate mothers have to surrender the babies right after birth to prevent any emotional attachment developing that's the deal here. the parents of natasha's baby girl are worried they won't be able to collect her at once because of the travel ban and she will join the others in the hotel. of course. if we can we just wait until we can make sure that we stick care of baby

we have. to take care. in denmark commercial surrogacy is banned in ukraine and it's permitted and it has become very big business. the biggest company in the field is biotechs called it charges 527-0000 euros per baby . this is the in vitro fertilization lab the company is happy to show us around. and this is where the sperm is kept. at minus 170 degrees celsius. the company is owned by albert touchy lawsky he has been in the headlines and ukraine on suspicion of human trafficking and tax fraud he won't tell us how much profit the company makes but he does set out his

vision for the future of the industry. there are going to be special incubators and sorry to see as we know it will die out you should the women who can't carry their babies themselves will then have that fertilized eggs placed in these devices it won't be long i think they'll be invented within 10 years she needs to do to them a digital world that will be. spent on other cosco used to work as a surrogate mother now she heads an organization that helps those still in the business across ukraine. she says there have been many problems especially with the agencies. and. there was a case in the autumn when a father didn't collect his baby but there had been complications during the birth the child was trying to get from one flat to the next and from one nanny to another

but in the end to the baby died. such stories might never have come to our attention were it not for the video of all those babies waiting to be collected which is focused fresh attention on the practice of surrogacy in ukraine when the babies will finally be united with their parents is anyone's guess. and for 9 years syria has been embroiled in war 9 years of fighting and suffering and with more than a dozen different groups and countries involved all following their own interests there seems little hope of peace it's no longer even clear exactly who is fighting whom but what is. it's clear is that people are dying as many as 400000 have lost their lives since the war started nearly 12000000 people have been displaced from their homes the economy is in ruins with g.d.p. just a 3rd of its pre-war level skilled workers are in high demand and that includes women

. there's 3 months career is still a very unusual one in syria she repairs the connections on high tension power cable . a woman doing this would have been unthinkable before the war. i 1st worked in the office and never went out but with the new situation the war and the crisis i wanted to go out into the field like the men to share the work i wanted to prove that a woman can do the job as well as the man. gender equality is not the norm in rural syria in regions like the conservative west women have very little say. except in those dreams family that is. here their daughters play

soccer and with their brothers of course they're growing up as equals. their mother wouldn't have it any other way. oh no serene helps her children with their homework she wants her daughters to also have good jobs their opportunities nowadays women are in demand everywhere that's really it's a qualified electrician. was an office in red willow it's misery 3 courses of all the young men were drafted into the military 3 quarters of them went to the syrian army i've been married for 10 years to begin with i was only a housewife then their advertised jobs at the electricity company and i applied. but. this rain is making her way to the next broken electricity pylon her husband works in the financial sector he didn't have to join the army because he isn't the only

son. they live in the province of homs like so much of the country it has been devastated by the war reconstruction is an enormous challenge. millions of men either fled or were killed others are still in the army or militias . without women in the workforce syria would collapse thousands of power pylons have been destroyed and there's no end of work from the 3 men her colleagues and no end of criticism either. for religious conservatives it's scandalous to see women in tight trousers climbing poles. almost. thank god i was able to get over this social stigma that says women can't know we can a woman is as good as a man we can help them i hope we have

a kind of the idea that women can only do office work when the men we have to get. out and deal with reality. this upright experience. there's something special out here in the countryside. the family going out for supper after a long day's work. finance mean it's important that our daughters learn to ignore conservative bigotry. and never. i'm proud of my mom she works at home and outside she has a great and difficult job. and i'm the one who encouraged my wife the most for us and then and women are equal at work and elsewhere. no 3 worries about what will happen after the war when the 9 come home from the army and want to go back to normal life will they turn back the clock on earth rain and other working women. can make it when we started there were just one or 2 of us

but now there are 20 women at the power company that all work outdoors it's a lovely experience there are problems but i think our numbers will grow. there's a isn't. this really says women's time has come they're irreplaceable when it comes to reconstruction there is more than enough for everyone to do after 9 years of war in syria. repression and discrimination are 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 our worlds. and now we head to mexico a country deemed to be one of the world's most dangerous last year in mexico

recorded 36000 murders and 60000 missing people most of the violence is linked to drug cartels but it can also devastate the lives of those trying to be a force for good 2019 sore 23 environmental activists killed their efforts to protect the country's plant and animal life got in the way of those whose priority is making a profit. model gomez takes care of his older brother's grave. format of gomez was an environmental activist he disappeared on january 13th and was later found dead. he was our pillar of strength he always encouraged and supported us my brother was the greatest. i don't think you can ever get over such a loss he will always remain my heart and i would always look up to him.

gomes was devoted to the cause of monaco butterflies. many members of one subspecies migrate 5000 kilometers from east to north america to this corner of the mexican state of michoacan where they spend the winter they always manage to find the same area of lush forest across generations. in 27000 we came to visit on medical matters he made it his life's mission to protect the monarchs. in the sumptuous thought in the midst of. it's amazing to host this natural wonder we're really proud that the world's largest colony comes here it's unique only when we walk through the forest it's an indescribable feeling and we protect them day and night what is the butterflies of chosen and in chatted place. why do the butterflies need protecting

because logging much of it illegal is devastating the forests of michoacan that's strong demand for timber from the u.s. and china. avocado growers want to clear more land. gomes and his colleagues organized patrols to prevent illegal logging which proved successful. he had such good ideas to protect the butterflies and help our community he started many projects for example he said let's plant new trees and we all agreed in said yes or meadow let's see. 2 weeks after all meadow disappeared his body was found floating in an agricultural pond here there was a wound on the back of his head. a model had the dismal task of identifying the corpse.

but to be honest i felt fear and anguish i was nervous at the thought that it could be my brother i prayed silently please let it not be him after searching for 16 days i didn't want to find him dead. but it was. 16 days of uncertainty had also been agonizing for his wife and their 4 children. have decided where they would decide themselves they cry they called for their father. it was painful and frightening. i wanted to cry oh. maybe that where are you not this path.

public prosecutors have so far failed to identify any suspects or likely motive while meadows wife rebecca is certain that it was not an accident she thinks his environmental activism made him enemies and that he was mad at conservationists fear others will now be too scared to get involved in protecting the forests and the butterflies. over the reason was timber of personal vendetta avocadoes it's better to know what happened than live with the uncertainty. but will the case ever be solved or matter gomez was known as a kind and caring man who saw butterflies as a gift of nature. his butterfly makes us very happy because it gives us life income and

a way to reserve the forest of. the. the chances aren't good 98 percent of all killings in mexico never get solved. there activists like omero gomez all around the world in africa too many people are working hard to protect local wildlife including in the continent safari parks it's a balancing act what do the animals need to thrive how many tourists can they cope with right now south africa has a strict coronavirus lockdown in place. safari tours are off the cards but we headed to the eastern part of the country home to the famous kruger national park next to it is the mother molly game is that what she is doing all it can to survive the current crisis.

they're on patrol around the clock since the lock down the field ranges from the wildlife reserve have even spent the night out in the bush to guard the animals. the reserve office some of the most luxurious safaris in southern africa drawing thousands of tourists every year. since the lock down the animals have been largely alone and criminal poaching gangs know it they're keen to exploit the situation more recently animals that sell well for they meet have also become a target mana mother lives in one of south africa's poorest regions and the ranges are concerned about the situation in the villages surrounding the reserve. weren't for the pandemic has put many people out of work they have no money and many are hungry. we're worried that they'll break into reserve and kill animals for their

meat. the wild animals also sense that something has changed gone are the sounds of vehicles and tourists. some residents of the park have lost their fear completely and are coming much closer to the camp the norm. to swim a panzer is the general manager at the marlin mana reserve. but now he's holding the fort back at the camp when the rangers return he tells them about fresh tracks from their latest visitor an elephant paid a visit in the night and damaged in them or of trees. the reserve was once privately owned but 2013 so historic land restitution case in which the government bought up the area and gave it back to local residents now the

land and buildings belong to 11 local communities who also hold a stake in the company that operates mahna mahna the firm pays rent to the local community and provides training to residents. the reserve employs 180 people many of them from the local area but few are currently working with the onset of the coronavirus restrictions the reserve lost its income nearly all the stuff was sent home. last. and so for them as likes the stuff they. will not even come back you know so. it's. you know if the company doesn't open it all but it will close it down and all of us and we're feeling a lot of families you know. depending on with one person working in 10 people a little more than that. every day to see him panzer speaks to his boss

online she's doing all she can to secure additional funding so far has start have received unemployment benefit from the state they're also getting a small amount of money from mahna mahna on top so that each one has enough to live on. initially the temporary employee relief scheme was only for period of 3 months however we are hoping that for an industry such as truism that government to recognize and see the importance of tourism in south africa will continue to at least assist the tourism industry and the hospitality industry which has been hardest hit. seen pan's and ranger lucky mother cooler heading out to kill their village to deliver face masks and other items to guard against the coronavirus kildare is one of the 11 villages that submitted a claim under the restitution program to get them on a minor land back. precious

a new house but now she doesn't know when it will be finished she hasn't worked since the end of march and wages have been cut and she's worried about the future. pope everything the money that i get from the company i keep it for future because i don't know what's going to happen tomorrow so that's why i can't be an instant only spend the money that i get for food only for food and electricity that's it and keep the wrists. in such uncertain times it's especially important to stick together and help one another. the men from also provide tips on how residents can best protect themselves from the virus they too benefit from the contact with local residents. we have people underground or lives since and get information off. of poaching dead

assist a lot hence you see we have got less poaching in our land because our people are part of that to make sure that the port what is so we get information before it happens and you can it will detect lead before it happens. another thing the rangers are doing right now is producing footage to post online as no one can come to the park i think moment they're focusing on the so-called big 5 that's elephants lions rhinos buffaloes and leftists. the videos of the animals are a real hit on social media. we making these firms so that you can bring all of life to your home. because of the corporate thank you note you can order it want to come and enjoy the right that i don't get why the model. the rangers have had a good day later on they spot another lead.
