anywhere don't want to conceal their identity but we do want to protect it because there's a lot of political persecution in chile the long predates the uprising we wanted to form a collective and to present a common front that when i protest i am not more naive it's the kind of a collective. it is the 1st time since the start of the fund and the related restrictions that they have much to my house like this and i believe we are a feminist downs collective we want to make hard lesson leaders to bring dance to the streets and to show that our body is our 1st territory of struggle we're not dancing for others but for ourselves but our choreography is always based on urban down styles such as dancehall work and hip hop. on international women's day 300 members of the collective dance on the street so sontag go where in red public

lovers 2000000 people in total protested nationwide social inequality sparked an uprising against chile's neo liberal economic and social system in october 2019 it was feminist from the start of. the walls of santiago tell the story of the protests of the struggle against patriarchy and machismo. the don's collective members want to draw attention to violence against women and that performances. religiously to me that's as soon as i leave my home i'm exposed to harassment for you there's abuse during childbirth there are always forms of violence against women at work in the health care system the family it's never ending. but i want to believe that it will be eradicated but it's an evolving process. we're in the middle of a paradigm shift from you understand we. keep this collective is about

so much more than don's it's about solidarity and mutual empowerment many say that the group dancing on the protest has changed their lives. up in the end though if they mean more we're learning from feminism in the learning to love each other but you know not to compete against one another but to actually create a nucleus or we can express ourselves dominic says she has learned to accept her body 3 don sing in the group. can. even be mentioned in. egypt even in the. mean look i can see all that i've changed my way of showing myself to the world to my environment and to myself keep on international women's day. my level one small be done saying in the heart of santiago.

i need a key money coming to you from kenya's capital nairobi and despite the fact that the person we're about to meet was not actually born here she does thrive in creative institutes such as. one that we're standing next to but it's actually hell literature that she hopes will be able to cut across boundaries reaching young girls across the continent and challenging young women such as myself. one of the pins that really gets my goat. when i get referred to a black african woman right there i'm like how why must i have. what you call

it where i live i want to be a good writer zuki swell van or knows her own mind and isn't afraid to speak it the south african arthur was born in zambia and then studied and lived abroad for a long time today she lives in kenya and is a publisher editor and writer and children's author during the pandemic she has become the curator of a pan-african on line literature festival combining well known names with new talent she wonders between worlds with boundless energy. the books she writes are always political in her 1st novel the madams which was published in 2006 she describes the lives of middle class women in south africa who are poor and between tradition and modernity between a career and being the perfect african mother. i am essentially prall. you very profitable and i'm very pro women and i think generally

comes out in my books what goes through or have in common with about identity. i'm writing for readers but more importantly i'm writing for people will say oh reading is boring there are i've got a book for you finish once i finish one page and told me that's boring her novels always carry a message she writes literature with the added to. this one of them is particularly committed to young readers and writers are on my generation to be the last generation of writers you know are always to myself to be able to hold on and bring younger generation of writers and give them voice and give them the platform in her writings to piece one of than or uses all of the linguistic richness of the continent including street slang and different dialects. my readers

should be able to understand the context you know if they don't get the context then it means i have failed it's not that the language has failed i have failed as a writer. zuki swore valinor is active on the international circuit in 29 teams she was invited by the good institute to speak at the frankfurt book fair she is a citizen of the world with many contacts for the outspoken feminist this comes naturally i think i'm an itinerant by nature in a way i have always been an outsider looking in if you were but i also give a insider's perspective in 2022 piece where vanner was the 1st african woman to be awarded the good a medal making her a role model for an entire generation when you're an artist you want to be on just speaking to one people it means a lot where it can resonate with a with somebody in berlin or with somebody in munich with somebody in brazil

but her main commitment is to her continent africa but maybe we need. more voices that are more visible a lot of african countries are only very quick to 16 years from colonialism we're still growing. a story. kenya has been battling the pandemic for more than a year and like everywhere else in the world it is women who have been hit particularly hard by the crisis zuki suave than her has a message for women but also for men this is a message we hold up the sky may we get the recognition we deserve for all then suddenly we do. and maybe we and our allies and learned the pachuco habits that allow us to celebrate mediocre contributions by men over excellent contributions by

women i wish you all a reflective and power in 365 days this woman stays. in. hi there karen homestead here reporting from berlin and i'd like you to meet unlike trials she's a polish artist and activist who now lives here in germany and she never misses a chance to fight for the rights of women in her home country and after poland's recent near total ban on abortion she now feels their voices more than ever need to be amplified well beyond their own borders oh a. polish women are on the barricades. many feel their bodies have become a political battleground. a global scream expresses their collective outrage it's

an initiative of honor kinds a tireless leader in the fight for women's reproductive rights and the stakes just got higher things have changed as well because it's war now since last year in poland it's a war of women against the government. last october poland's constitutional court voted to clamp down even further on one of europe's most restrictive abortion laws the ruling from to tens of thousands to take to the streets in protest here in the capital warsaw. in late january 2021 the ruling was abruptly published into law abortion is now illegal even in the case of severe fetal defects amounting to a de facto ban in the predominantly catholic country. yeah. in berlin and a krantz turned up the volume on behalf of her countrywomen. yeah. it's just

an imperative you have to do something you cannot really sit on your sofa but that's why that's why we stand on the streets we think it's important we want to show their solidarity with polish women we are polish women as well and we are angry the same besides what happens in poland it also it has. influence on sings in other countries. and i came to berlin in 222016 growing outrage over the proposed abortion bill in poland prompted her to found. an inclusive feminist collective that also advocates for l.g.b. t.q. rights. with fellow member or better teen she staking out a protest action for international women's day symbols are a vital part of her work whether graphic or performance. lace invent. very feminine material is very it can cover but it can

also reveal things and if you talk about abortion exactly abortion this bill or the regulation of abortion is one of the very few maybe the only one which regulates your very private life your body deep in your body your heart soul whatever but it's very very private like the dress or with a curtain that covers you from the outside world but you can also look through it and you see the world differently. one of the. goals of our actions is that we can be the voice of polish women abroad. trend sales from poznan where she trained as an architect she later studied environmental design and now works mainly as a freelance graphic artist but currently activist causes a nearly all consuming. we cannot stop fighting we really have to keep fighting

because it's not only about abortion. all of this happening in poland it happens on many other levels abortion is one of them and it's very serious but we cannot stop because every day we see something else is really falling apart i think this country disappeared so we really have to still stand on the streets and never give up never give up. drawing and the urge to comment on the world through art remain a constant need. both my parents were artists they are now gone but both of them they did art and art was always present in our house it was like the most important thing the reality and daily things are not important. for the time being her private art has had to take a back seat she's currently working on an activist diary a document the women of poland may 1 day look back on with gratitude.

but for now the battle continues. to stand together in this fight that's keep fighting perseverance stay strong stay safe. some abridging women's courage and creativity on international women's day see you next time the piece i wrote for all from the song are long.
