a mass movement led by been in delhi. the shaheen bank sit in protest at a major public highway was against the government citizenship amendment act critics said the legislation was discriminatory against muslims. it was absolutely unbelievable to be on a new public high read blocking backspaces by having really speaks so strong be up on history years and so clearly about who are democratic they are and what citizenship meet the only real friend i could express what they're hearing through and drawing i would then come back to my studio and me courses for students both in hindi and english. sponsors and drawings on this piece for protests have now been compiled into a book. a powerful graphic narrative of women at the forefront of a mass movement. at the same time we see what the government of the

state is ringback doing to young women who speak out and our voice to say so we've seen these 2 painted context of women being at the forefront of people's movement and of a state that's kind of crushing it wanting to see it taking any. saying it is a moment that i would think we can she leave me peace what we want. the. full. truth. that. this is a free a body bag to w.'s correspondent into i'm going to present to a group of women that dances mosques on the streets of such a chapel to raise awareness of gender violence and the power goes out women to fight for their rights to meet the demands collected by look up which i wish i had

we don't want to conceal their identity in it over but we do want to protect it because there is a lot of political persecution in chile that long predates the uprising and we wanted to form a collective and to present a common front that. and i protest i am not more naive but part of a collective it. is the 1st time since the start of the fund and the related restrictions that they have matched her house like this we are a feminist dance collective in term of the earth we want to make hard less a leader to bring down 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 and read follow us 2000000 people in toto 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 harass or 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 in his own process. we are in the middle of

a paradigm shift time you're going to see him we. speak this collective is about so much more than don's it's about solidarity and mutual empowerment many say that the great dancing on the protests have changed their lives. but in the end the affair meaning all 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 through dancing in the kori. schake evolution brain intrigued me even. in reno but i conceal that i've changed my way of showing myself to the world to my environment and to myself keep on international women's day by like a bridge of my level one small be dancing in the heart of santiago.

i meet a kid 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. the one that we're standing next to but it's actually had 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 is when i get referred to. black africa right there i'm like how why must i have business what you call it work or

what i did i want to be a good writer zuki swell vanner knows her own mind and isn't afraid to speak it the south african ather 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 joining 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 appalled between tradition and modernity between a career and being the perfect african mother. i am essentially prawle.

who very proffer very pro women and i think generally comes out in my books what those 3 or have in common is about identity. i'm writing for readers but more importantly i'm writing for people will say oh reading is boring enough 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 at 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 swar valinor is active on the international circuit in 2019 she was invited by the dirty 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 2025 banner 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 more visible a lot of african countries only very quickly 16 years from colonialism we're still growing we are still in. 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 banner has a message for women but also for men this is a message we will up the sky may we get the recognition we deserve for all that some leave that we do. and may we and our allies and learned the hard 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 their care and homestead here reporting from berlin and i'd like you to meet i like friends 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 prompted 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. yet that's been created 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 fit 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 at the same besides what happens in poland it also it has. influence on sings in other countries. and i came to berlin in 2002 in 2016 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 bad teen she's staking out a protest action for international women's day symbols are a vital part of her work whether graphic or performance.

life in general. it's a very feminine material it's very it can cover but it can also reveal things and if you talk about abortion and abortion this bill or the regulation of abortion is one of the very few maybe 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. trends hails 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 heart was 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 the fight let's keep fighting perseverance stay strong stay safe. bridging women's courage and creativity on international women's day see you next time. piece a rope from the song to our long. now
