a difference. in france as in other european countries universities are closed because of coronavirus students are suffering from mounting loneliness and one young woman from strands book can't take it anymore. since the beginning of the pandemic this room has become the center of heidi's supposed life it's where she studies attends online lectures and spends her free time watching movies a daily routine that has taken its toll on the 1000 year old. i lack any kind of enthusiasm i just feel hollow and i don't see any sense in life anymore i mean you credibly nervous and cry for the slightest reason i am a lot more short term perch and have become

a control freak regarding anything that i can actually still control i don't feel like going for walks anymore it just costs too much energy although i'm normally quite a lively person and that's all to those most heroes and you know me now i want to live. in her despair she published a letter to president on social media asking him to read open the university's she signed the letter heidi support zombie. i had been talking to a few friends about this how sick i was of the situation i had the impression that people had forgotten about us young no one understood what it's like for us even among students it was too boot to talk about it so i wanted to get through to the government but also to other students and people in general. and she succeeded hundreds of other students contacted her to share their own similar stories across the country thousands of students took to the streets. president personally wrote

back to heidi asking her to hold out then he announced new measures of support and the 2 young. students have the same needs as workers so they will also be allowed to come back to university for one day per week women are needed he did offer to put them here heidi is glad that her cry for help was heard but she remains realistic visuals that it's a start at least certain student association can offer activities again as some students will come back in the long run though living a one day per week won't be enough and i know that the months to come will be very tough although at least we now feel a bit less invisible. the prospect of the past reopening has given her the energy to go for kasia walks again and help us see the future in a brighter light. minority groups in china

like the week is now being a prince and the chinese secret service is apparently forcing week is living in exile to spy on never half as well by threatening their families back home. they say mean was a shop owner selling imported foods including how the product in his hometown of coral in 2015 when he returned to sin john from a business trip to malaysia he was stopped at the airport and brought to a detention center. they brought me into a room they sat me down at a metal table and they tied my legs and my arms to it. by stating this position for 2 days. we meet a say in an apartment in munich germany he says he was never told what he was accused of his papers say that he was suspected of endangering state security

a suspension month any attention then suddenly he was released but under one condition he had to agree that he would work for chinese state security. i thought i would just stay in touch with them and i didn't have the intention but the term really worked for that. that was an illusion after his release a so you mean regularly met with an agent who introduced himself as a bot. he was able to continue traveling abroad he says in the beginning nothing specific had been asked of him and he maintains he never reviewed information on anyone but it's impossible to verify these claims about one year later it was detained again this time he was freed with a specific request he was told to spy on a young man in turkey he said left for istanbul then he decided not to return to china and went on a web cost with his story. on cold after the show. and

answered america not america did not become america without shedding a lot of blood hog lot. more is going to happen here. and bring on the stuff. i he says waiting for his refugee status to be approved he thinks that he is relatively safe here but he also knows that he could be talked to and. britain is famous for its beautifully manicured gardens but that's about to change if lord someone like him has anything to say about him his mission is a near return to unchanged nature and he has some special hopis. they call it large blocks and they're allowed to roam almost anywhere to dig up the ground at summer light in a state in the east of england. they are land owner last summer latents secret

bigs have to get out of the forest. not so late and does not accept the argument that only rich landowners can afford to protect the environment he believes people need to change their mindset being in touch with nature not similate and believes that as many people as possible should experience this he'd like to turn the adjacent marshland into a nature park for equal to or is. a much an incredible ins and storks and white tailed eagles kind of walking up and down this river valley but still with cattle and with. farming systems but that have to be checked. but to do that yes to convince its neighbors 1st because free roaming pigs on the property that just do what they want for most farmers it's simply a step too far. there's

77 percent i'm not saying any way given our gender based violence is a big problem but now all of you are fighting back we should speak out and we should all understand what you see if. you're going to lead the lives of the 77 percent of the following beloved not sure it's going to work this 977 percent a good job good enough to. ever be forgiven. can a murderer ever forgive himself. in colombia else some audio killed hundreds of people allegedly on behalf of international suppliers. deals on camera

who hired him to carry out his crime. blotter calling. him from the 5 minutes on g.w. . group to get over now live i'm sure that of us as we are also some. in support of. what's a bit. of a. deliberate. hello . and welcome to the show we have something to celebrate today this is the 50th episode of the 77 percent. we are dedicating today's show to particularly strong african women the survivors of sexual and gender based violence women who are fighting for the rights of girls and women across the continent but before we started to just the warning to

survivors of domestic violence and rape they may find parts of today's contents disturbing here's what's coming up. in our street debate we speak to survivors of domestic abuse and rape in south africa. i may be an artist he is with a song against gender based violence. and in kenya an 11 year old girl while the 2 with her are. sexual violence is a massive problem in south africa every day the police records more than $100.00 cases of rape it's believed that's most cases are not even reported. young activists wants to get people to speak out against this violence. elizabeth at a cemetery in one township and d.c. we cannae this is a grave offer

a friend 7 years ago seen the gum under was brutally raped and made it in the dunes of the nearby beach fear is a constant companion for bella conny and many other young women in south africa. provide an appeal. and living in fear if we and say we are not safe anyway even in our own homes at times for most of them. so it's again i am scared for my son. for them and for everyone for their children even run. for the child activists for prevention campaign antiviolence initiative that is run by teenagers from wal-mart our ship they come pain is supported by the engine you must a foodie. a group of 16 learners who help suffer from abuse today

and bill economists with 3 child activists at the local library they want to produce short video messages for social media just plain how to report sexual abuse . in giving young people of ice. and encouraging them on ways they can use to speak out and also raise awareness around the issue of child abuse and these findings in their own comfortable ways using their skills using their talents the videos are popular teenagers across south africa watch them and many comments describing their own experiences of sexual violence or asking for help so that is why i say stand up taking action to speak for yourself. today is. to record his message. but we should speak up and we should all understand what abuse is and i think that we mustn't take it lightly

thank you jack hopes that he can mobilize men and boys around the issue of sexual violence because it matters not only to women but to all. i think we as men should unite. to stop woman and child abuse because i think this is something that might destroy our future as a nation. it destroyed our. life she was a member of another program for violence prevention by the south african police. was a school safety complainer kept her own suffering a secrete for years she was abused by a family member. she took a life after she fell pregnant. a child activist have a video call meeting with

a muslim friends from the other youth group at death motivated both groups to work together to amplified voices the young activist that the kids are competing against sexual violence to a motley in an effort to commemorate her life and to make sure that have passon was not in vain. because her story doesn't isn't just her story it's the story of. it gives us much more reason to continue and now we are able to collaborate with other people who are not even in the same place as us but we know that these things occur so we just keep. up the symmetry and. find hoping that our mark list legacy will encourage a victims of abuse to speak out too often sexual abuse stays hidden because victims are too terrified to named tom into their groups message it's clear we have the

right to be hit. that is also what we are doing in our street debate giving survivors of rape and domestic abuse a voice because many are afraid of even telling family members or friends what was done to them my colleague christine one while i was in johannesburg there she talked to 2 women would tell the harrowing stories of being raped and of being beaten up. the 77 percent is in johannesburg now around the world women are fighting for equality but in this country women are also having to fight for their safety that is because south africa is one of the most unsafe places in the world to be

a woman on today's street debate we're asking the question why why are women being victimized in this way i'm joined by my panel didn't we destroyed of the conversation with jackie jackie tell us what your experience was. christine my experience was a gang rape winter club with a group of friends and little did we know that we were going to be coerced into a room upstairs inside the club and a bunch of men came in and i was getting raped there that's my 1st encounter with sexual violence right we'll come back to you jackie because i do want to establish you in the conversation as well tracy what has been your experience christine i grew up in a home of domestic violence and as a child i knew that i never wanted to live a life like my mother i wanted my life to be completely different and it wasn't and i found myself in an abusive relationship and being beaten up at some point in my life right because he said i want to bring you into the conversation right now

because you have told us that you were a form a picture of violence against women tell us what exactly that means well an age of 16 i you went to see my girlfriend worse you will stay but the idea was quite simply to take them home so that we could have sex with them and then we took them literally against their will we were no no no if i was but. nice. so but it comes goes back to the time when i was 10 when my brother molested me so i grew up with this idea that sex is something to be taken and not negotiated right ok were you angry at one understand how how you felt how you dealt with with what you experienced at that point i felt like are we ever going to be safe in any social space and i was traumatized for life then going into adulthood

we used are dating men who or narcissists who they have no social compassion was specially if they hear that you've got a history of sexual violence they feel like oh well you've done this before it's not foreign so why should i be asking permission when everybody else has been taking ok i might be unfair to you for asking this question but i'm i'm just trying to understand why men would do that white white men would think that is ok to do to a woman where i grew up we had a game called. stimulus as in the train men young men will cure outside their house to rape a woman it was never called gang rape was never called anything it was called i want to get back to jackie because you seem to have risen a good when he talked about stimulate the train here yet because i when i reflected on it later on just to understand in my head i realize that for them it was

a game it who has the longest stamina who had the raunchiest things to say to a young child as a matter of fact it's like we want to see more we want to see more of your tears more of you screaming more of your blood you going in and of consciousness and i actually wish that i was really dying in this moment so what he's saying is completely right that's what they did it and i'll come over to you now i mean if you've been listening to to to everybody speak your psychologist help us understand . what i what i hear is that society creates noise in which the stuff becomes acceptable and i mean i want to i want to be clear that this is not just being mentally ill people as as we understand them who are doing this is every day people but the culture that surrounds us is one which is the sort of behavior is ok yeah can you talk through your experience and why you might not have reported your

experience i was so traumatized so scared for my life because the person who raped me happened to be part of a big political party in south africa and for years i was harassed and you get the backlash also from family way you tell them that i was this was done to me and they said oh well you were not a virgin anyway so why is this important now why are you still crying over it so you get that feeding of same over the years and you feel like let me just height and perhaps maybe thousands of victims in the country feel the same way but you did we're still talking about making south africa a better place for women. can you maybe talk to us about what could be done in the kinds of places in the villages like you grew up in so we need to to start almost a new culture that regards women as nothing other than human beings

and to know that if we speak about our own heads in our own terrible actions against women we're not letting that team down because that's what i've been towed. that i'm not on the part of the 2 ok here because norman talks about these things ok so i misjudged him and it jacki what is your as we close this debate why aren't other men say ok i also come forth i take full responsibility for what i've done over the years this is the way i'm going forward and this is how educate the next boy child. oh yeah it's a story it's things like sexual harassment you know things like catcalling in the streets all of these things contributed to the culture and that's the kind of stuff that that needs to be rooted out as well that you know the circle of locker room talk is no longer acceptable yeah yeah it never should have been never should have

tracy so i think it in is right we need to we need to talk about it now jackie and i 1st written books about our experience as has because he said and we know we write our stories we don't do it to share our shame we write our stories to give permission to other people to tell the story so i think that that's a very important part of the healing process and i think that answers your question about how do we empower ourselves as victims and i think we need to talk about it we need to break the silence take away the shame and that is the very 1st step in the healing process. and that does it for our street debate here in johannesburg and of course this conversation doesn't entail we're interested to hear what you think what your experiences have been in the country that you find yourself in of course that conversation continues on social media but. a big thank you to christine and everyone who shared their story we really appreciate it as usual you can watch the full thread debate on our your tube

channel. now we asked you on social media what needs to be done to end this violence against women. is it is said that danielle from nigeria says the authorities should intervene in this matter by imposing severe punishments on all those found guilty of sexual assault taunts. from come palast says we have to create awareness speak out against it and remind both men and women that there is no greater joy than love. them from a jury a says it's our collective problem parents judges and community members together we have to fight this evil so many comments talk about awareness and working together to protect women and girls that's also the message of a song produced exclusively for the 77 percent by namibia and quite

a artist ease in the media the brutal rape and murder of a young woman have led to a tremendous outrage in the society under the hashtags shut it all down young people took to the streets demanding and to sexual and gender based violence. was. not the cause of. the out of the one. i want to. like the i can't. go on the arabs want to carry the i am going to the am to the winter the solar system the field of mistrust the ability to.
