hello i'm christine one day it's good to have your company the conversation about women safety has been ignited once again since that recent u.n. report revealed that male violence against women remains high the report said one in 3 women around the world have been physically feel sexually violated by a man they are in a relationship with one of many countries where male violence against women is causing a problem is gonna the country records around 3000 attacks by men and women yet this month alone 5 women have been killed there by they have male partners in a moment i'll be joined by one of the country's leading activists but 1st though here is the story of one woman who survived the ordeal. chidi has been divorced from her husband for 6 months now after 8 years of marriage for

hair there were 8 years of suffering her now ex-husband started abusing hey within the 1st year of the our marriage including physically she difficult trapped but hard to know we're out so she tried to commit suicide several times i went to a pharmacy to buy a sleep aid this is a prescription drug doing going to give it to me so i sort of the one i was i was bringing about like a mad woman telling lies just to get stuff to harm myself. and at the end of that d. algaba 30 pieces like the i said off again the 30 out of $100.00 and i took everything unfortunately nothing happened to me at 1st she did not speak out are a part of the abuse to their pleas she was afraid of being stigmatized even some

members of its own family did not believe hey she now suffers from permanent headaches and stupas the physical scars she says that finding the courage to speak out and leave him are each saved her life and the 1st time i really came out i felt liberated yeah i felt good i felt who from ice ended. i felt i felt like i was carrying. heavy baggage that was just ticking off me and i think that is those well the healing process begun and the reporting of gender based violence cases has been a major problem in fighting the menace the german development agency said and patents are helping to change the trained using technology. in mobile app it's now available to help victims report on money mostly in

a form of violence they have experienced via s.m.s. interactive voice response or voice recording the developers of the op wants people to get stalking and gain the help they need. speaking now is that fast there that you can actually seek justice speaking nap is also the 1st step way you can get help and speaking up is the only way that you can protect your family you can protect your colleague you can protect whoever is close to you for being a victim of gender based violence in the future. are many activists want to do more to help victims get justice quickly this see that's would encourage more people to come forward and some of the stories. in terms of these interventions i think that we need to do more as the people we need to do more i think government. by

strengthening the police system. strengthening the court. you know strengthening social welfare services. she is not educating have a life and career to fight for the rights of victims of domestic violence she was victims to leave abusive relationships as soon as possible. my rage doesn't need any healing if it is no working it is no working move out and save yourself. she hopes her story will inspire other victims of gender based violence to speak out on secure. and to talk more on this we've invited dr angela avoid jail into the program she's a lawyer and a rights activist in ghana welcome to news africa angela tell us about the organization that you run it's called the foundation what was the reason you began

this work well the. christian based organization that's works to support abused women and children that's our core work but apart from that's we also engage in training of service providers we do a lot of advocacy with other organizations and we also do a lot of community education instance. so basically that's what the been doing for the last since 1999 we also run the fish shelter for battered women in this country since 1999 we continue to offer our. services. to victims of domestic violence right angela what do you believe is the reason male violence against women is so and accept to be high as you put it in ghana.

well there's simply impunity impunity in the sense that people who do these things think they can get away with it basically and they can get away with it because of the susu cultural. understanding of the rule of men and women especially in household and domestic arrangements so if one person has more power than the other the tendency to use this kind of power in an abusive we is strong unless that person is from strained by their own you know maybe religious convictions or bring in or by the law and because for a long time the law has not really done well in restraining people the keep doing it actually if there is this appen out that will allow women to report incidences and not to mislead do you think that it's going to be effective in addressing the situation as it is and gun. i think it will have to be tested for a while to see i'm very happy there's an up anything that can add to the services

for victims of sexual and did that because violence including domestic violence we are happy about because already there's a death in services in the country and so i'm linking the launch of this up to the need to our services we have if we don't want the game of institutions and i said this is when somebody seeks help even from the op there's a limitation to what anyone can do in terms of the police the courts the social services the angels that what ever you saw that's my concern and i'm hoping that's to be addressed we need to send so on these things are not the way you know you can talk and that's their operatic but it may clearly not be enough for somebody who needs actual help. and do you agree with the sentiment that there's far too much

emphasis on what women should or shouldn't do to protect themselves we often talk about the victims and less focus is put on the men perpetrating this violence against women. well i agree too to an extent but if your life is in danger you're not really thinking about you know who should be educated now or who should be educated next you're just thinking about how to make sure that you keep your life together and you keep your children together so you know the focus on knowing what to do if your face and violence as a woman in fact as anybody is very important i don't think is to sift at all however it is time to also indeed more men in the discussion this has been done in the past but for some reason i think that some of the things that you hear is that ok for those of us who are working in this area we shout so loudly they don't want to hear so maybe is that the tone of our voice is the message we are putting out is

that the strength of this social cultural norms and an understanding is something that we need to engage in interrogate a lot more and also to start some real perpetrator programs where the institutions are concerned because the law actually gives the courts a lot of powers to be or this for men to participate in some of these programs which we don't have yes thank you very much to ducks and talking to us from ghana thank you and our next story is an cynical way and 19 year old has become one of the country's most promising or chuckie's has already won several prestigious races at home now the rising star hopes to go even further and compete internationally. meet fellow deal one of senegal's most talented case. he is taking his law

times in life i had a decent life is no other way to tell the story. in 978 gina china divorced her husband all right and launched a solo career by the 99 g.'s she was one of the biggest pop stars in the world no i don't consider that a comeback team that never. hurts to have to remember those. in a certain stage forgiveness takes over. well i've only seen the trailer but i'm joined by my colleague 18 kennedy class has seen the whole fail adrian what did you make of it when it is an incredible story and this is a remarkable documentary after me i was a little skeptical because a lot of the story is very familiar scene a town a farce talked about the abuse that she received at the hands of her ex-husband in an interview in 1981 with people magazine this documentary makes extensive use of

the recording of that interview further revelations came a few years data in the fingers auto biography cina and that book was the basis for the quite harrowing bio pic. what's that got to do with it in $1090.00 free but this document tree does manage to present this in an even more stark fashion there is graphic descriptions of the abuse she received and the hell that she lived through all of the world believed that she was living the dream life of a successful star right that we had mentioned forgiveness there is this the final chapter of the story. she mentions to get a respite is pretty abstract or a bit vague it's more about letting go about healing for her in the past she has said that she could never forgive ike for what he did to her but here she does

speak with some sympathy about his insecurities and about the discrimination that he experience as a black artist in america but. died in 2007 and there was no reconciliation while he was alive but tina story does have a happy ending i believe because tina actually found love here in germany that's right indeed she lives securities life in swiss with her husband german record executive back they met in the eighty's they married in 20 scene and she calls it one true marriage and get this back even don't 1000 a kidney to the singer when she suffered kidney failure in $27.00 c. well that's what i call true love is there any hope that tina might be to do it out of retirement no not really she's she would type 2009 and she has said that.

she enjoys doing nothing so we really only have the music and we have this documentary which is more than just a run of the mill music documentary it is also a poignant tale of survival against the all ok and all of us can see tina from this weekend on h.b.o. and sky documentaries thank you very much for giving us a taste i thank you. more culture news now and another tell all music documentary is premiering this month's. my. god to be careful i think demi lovato dancing with the devil the u.s. singer reveals she was sexually abused as a teenager the full episode series is released on a huge originals this week that focuses on love otto's 2018 drug overdose and ongoing battles with addiction her shot to fame as
