online to see exactly which communities have to be l g b t free zones or the. filmmaker bots the chef ski is himself gay he travels to the places where people like him aren't welcome would you there but the need to use the science to trigger debates over other g.b.t. the photos are emotive designed to make people think about whether these resolutions are necessary or. bart has published a map highlighting the zone where gays and lesbians aren't welcome it covers nearly one 3rd of poland 5 out of the country's 16 regions the resolutions passed by the towns aren't actually binding but it's clear there's no room here for rainbow colors. not garbage but it's a good idea we don't need to generously havior our sexual love normalities. this is a catholic christian area l g b t or whatever you call it is the jungle when we have mixed paedophiles. but

a few your. homophobia is especially entrenched in poland's conservative southeast . but even in worldly warsaw scenes like this one are highly unusual to women holding hands in public. and i gatta are a couple and don't want to hide it but living openly as homosexuals isn't easy even here in the capital. we want to just go we always feel afraid of it. but i think it's women it's a little bit easier for us. we're not safe either. but for men holding hands is completely out of the question and poland. they got married in berlin but in poland they're still considered single homophobia is officially encouraged. yeah i mean i love anime and she happens to be a woman and she loves me i'm a woman so that's enough to be

a 2nd class citizen here. there's not every day we have to be brave it's like we have to come out every day again and again and again go tell us it was a man even set his dog on me once. he gave me an evil look and he insulted me. want them. angry residents in the city of ports shout in protest at a march supporting homosexuals such marches are becoming more common polish society is divided. so it was so if they say this in front of me and show it in public that involve me as long as i don't see it i couldn't care less they just shouldn't do it in public poland will never be a tolerant country. how can i tell a child that 2 men kissing is something normal. 15

a sin right so to me defending these people would be justifying sins without them. that a legit sin is embodied by couples like him ilya and i got one is a lawyer the other a journalist they want to live openly as lesbians but it's not always possible. i was in a store recently and i wanted to say that my wife had sent me to go shopping. but then i thought i might live to say my wife. anyone else wouldn't even think about it. they have made one decision. they plan to stay in poland and fight for their rights and for greater tolerance but they say many of their homosexual friends have already given up the fight and left poland behind. and now for an extra court. we live. in japan he proves that it is possible to

remain true to oneself even in a largely conformist society. and he is just one of his many talents here in the bustling district in tokyo. is known for strutting his stuff. but there's a whole lot more to his story than meets the eye. of a not so nobody should be and all of me just because i'm a monk i don't need to hide the fact that i. know every you look at whatever your personality or your job is. to you but only those who respect themselves are respected by others. only much. for him about the universe not the narrowly defined. no matter what your identity is he believes a life filled with likes and love is for everyone. and she

more or is a buddhist monk as a child he realized he didn't fit into a neat definition of gender. played with doubts about his identity he sought spiritual guidance. when i used to associate monks with traditional images but as i am barked on the learning process that changed i can be who i am. one of the higher up monks told me. who does and wants to free all people in the same way just as the moon sheds light on all who look up i mean that started in the . winter and now this monk is fully embraced 2 years combining your spiritual duties with his job as a makeup artist. and it doesn't stop the cold only she more or is also an l g b t q activist. knowing from childhood what it feels like to not fit in. the

man. i like the fact that he does his own thing i may be over 80 but honestly it's high time for your budget i gotta tell you. i think affected his skills in new york and los angeles. is even allowed to do his my. doesn't make up for us. now. from playing. as a child machine more a could have inherited the position of buddhist priest from his father but it wasn't until his mid twenty's that he had any desire to do so and then he chose to undergo official buddhist training. secure and happy in his individual identity. in the united states and humorless finally free to embrace his love of make up for him it offered a chance to address the full dimension of his identity. or to show

with shame. this journey toward self love is the subject of the book please working on at the moment. but his message of tolerance does not get spread everywhere in japan. because it was. because i'm just i don't think japan is ready to accept this kind of lifestyle but i personally think it's really good that there are people like him. even. more a. bank of extraordinary unproduced priest. for him life is about having the courage to accept who you are. and finding pleasure and meaning in earthly as well as spiritual pursuits. everyone has the right to accept themselves for who they are on our facebook page

d w women you can find more stories about people who are standing up for their rights and inspiring others to do the say d.w. women gives a voice to women everywhere. our planet is home to around a 1000000000 sheep most of them live in asia followed by africa and australia and new zealand one of the most important products our shabby friends give us is the world in 2019 around 1100000 tons of refined world were produced globally. the leading produces are australia china the us and new zealand together they make up around 70 percent of the global market and they all boast vast herds of thousands of sheep. germany can't compete with that it's sheep farming industry is on the decline and it's herds are getting smaller.

a flock of sheep blazing in the shade. the 1st lambs of the year have arrived and so shepherd florian hives has brought his animals to rest in a green patch between warehouses and factories in the industrial ruhr area in western germany. normally he keeps his flock on the move he's one of the few shepherds left in the country. there are around a 1000 professional shepherds left in germany that's not so many really i don't know many young people who want to do this job i'll continue to work with passion until i have to step down it's certainly a profession that nobody wants to do you don't make much money you just don't get rich doing your. work. the sheep are eventually sold for their meat but municipalities also pay shepherds to have their flocks graze on public land. but

wool has become a losing business these days sales don't even cover the costs of having the sheep sheared so that's i'm a beautiful merino wool. is mitt romney and i was i have merino sheep and they still have the best quality wool i get over a euro per kilo. colleagues of mine who have other breeds get a lot less they get $45.00 to $0.65 per kilo. some of them don't sell it any more choosing to burn the world or toss it instead. they're going to dig. his wool goes to china where it's processed and ends up in bedding upholstery carpets and other textile products some of these end up back on the european market where they're sold at high prices that make spaghetti pappa furious as to talent it's totally absurd buyers here purchase the

wall and send it all the way to china for washing and it sent to paris where it's packaged and suddenly everyone wants it. gives it to is a self-taught tailor. she initially trained to be a dental assistant now she's a businesswoman with a passion for wool she calls her product mosel tweed. fan for having i'm a fan of harris tweed which is also so i wondered whether the wool from the sheep in our region was also suitable for fabric and it turns out that it's very suitable for cloth and at that point i told myself that i do my best to save local wool one. the cloth is made in germany soley from will out of the region she already has about 100 meters in stock the company produces vests caps and sport coats from the material. so most of science. happen receive support from

the back in fact spinning wheels. in a globalised textile market producing fabric regionally is difficult the production costs are too high the quantity is too low. for wool is processed here died and spun into yarn. wool from german sheep barely plays a role in the international market. because. we get our wool from all over the world from new zealand australia and south america also from england. depending on the requirements we have to meet we get our wool from everywhere put in bali on. this mill receives only about 10 tonnes of wool from germany each month compared to the $220.00 tons it gets from new zealand wool from down under is pure and wool from other places it's softer and cheaper too because it's produced very

efficiently the vatican felt spinning wheel wants to promote local wool but has no illusions about the future of wool from germany always harder sadly consumers today are not willing to pay higher prices at the retail level they're more interested in getting new products faster they want to see trends in changes in fashion so the cost has to be low it would be nice if people could change their priorities and still. get a couple remains enthusiastic about her wool in fabric it may be expensive but demand from high quality sustainable fashion is growing her mission is to eventually produce quantities approaching 10000 metres of her muzzle tweet. as a man yes my primary goal is to find him. taters the trick i mean i don't want to earn millions and i want satisfied employers and i want to know that i have enough to live on at the end of the month and i'd like everyone in the value chain all those who are helping out to enjoy working with me and feel like they're being paid

fairly for their contribution to be at least. this weekend global idea as we look at the mountains of trash which are becoming a thorn in the side of pretty much every corner of our planet in south africa's nelson mandela bay piles of rubbish are a blight on the poorest districts in particular but people that have come up with some great solutions reporter stephanie byrne headed back to find out. and on time does agree bonna are grieving for their children the 4 youngsters died at the start of this year while playing at it no legal garbage dump like all the children here do. they live in the township of motherwell your quarter was about. the women but their children go clothes and buy toxic substances in the garbage for years local people have been asking the authorities to address the problem and

manuela opposed to it so painful we always try to stop other kids from playing that is area but there's no way of keeping the children safe none of the parents can do anything about this place. i thought the municipalities fault was they failed us even though i. didn't even after our laws they failed to at least do what they promised to do. so i'm delighted to be in the. running mate. more than a quarter of a century has passed since apartheid ended but the south african government still hasn't managed to equip all the townships with power running water and a functioning waste disposal and sanitation system. the local authorities are aware of the problem but they're chronically underfunded. 2 years ago they declared a war on waste 50 illegal waste dumps were transformed into parks and playgrounds

like this one. with the spokesman for the municipal authority into bun's he. says local residents also have a role to play. so frank we're having intelligence. where we are. trying so hard is our way in this pushing message that that talk to all communities to make them understand that you all know your own neighborhoods you know your neighbor was not. meant. to miss it it's a bad message between us and you can take care of you or it can work for us if you don't work with us nearby walmer township home to 60000 people offers one example of what can be done here gardener colonies taking launched a move freely project with the help of a nonprofit organization he transformed and illegal garbage dump into a vegetable garden the vegetables so well in the neighborhood the income from sales

allows seaward to employ 5 local men as gardeners. first of all this garden helps to keep the environment clean because people no longer dump garbage here but it also helps the community by providing jobs in order for the garden to grow and succeed i need people to help now the garden provides a source of income and food. and we need. a number of commune. based initiatives are working with local people in water to prevent the township from drowning in. one of them is retreat this social empowerment project works with waste pickers like. to recycle trash he and 60 other residents from walmart collect the waste from around the township every friday they bring it to the retreat recycling store . every. points which he can then exchange for food clothing and other

items. found at the project as a way of helping the community. people think that thrown away means that it just goes away but we have a lot of people that live in those away places live close to tips and places where garbage collectors. fare living conditions for anyone. really trying to change that because our. housing is very close to those areas so we want them to be the best areas people are going to live in them. retreat gives the waste reclaimers much more than what the commercial recycling firms offer the project is financed by private donations and the sale of the recyclable waste thanks to retreat collecting recyclables has become a recognized job and providing a modest but vital income that.

back at the garden in wal-mart she was packing up vegetables for $150.00 families the coronavirus pandemic has left many in the township without a source of income so now they are dependent on food aid the food packages are being funded and distributed by an association called massif one day it's a joint german south african initiative that normally works to assist young people in walmer but offering training programs. the association has also helped see what to develop the garden now during the pandemic it's taking on a new role massive social worker valencia twilio says the cooperation with the feeling is a success we as muslims in the field that we need to ensure the men who teles the

people that are in i will call not only tea but it's not about just giving people but it's also being part of a bigger picture in the end it will be much of a change agent to making sure that all people at least function at a level with by the actually i'm with the suspected and dignified at the end of. the municipal authorities are supposed to ensure that health and hygiene standards are adhere to in the garden they say they're agriculture department is working to support and monitor urban vegetable gardens. you. see was says they did provide him with garden tools but they have yet to check whether the ground of the former garbage tip and the vegetables planted there contain any toxins. but the war on waste continues the municipal authorities have pledged to invest 7000000 euros in the cause by 2022.
