gender equality is not the mythical concept it used to be for. scores and scores of women and men around the world have fought to bring us to the point where equal rights are basic but there are still many parts of the world that are struggling to accept this 2 activities the pandemic has brought quantities to before we have to fight harder. to have their voices ideas. introduced to some of the women fighting the good fight to see that. menstruation a natural phenomenon has the power to negatively impact

a girl's right to education in rural india lack of access to the products disfunctional toilets in the school premises a gap in a van is of menstruation hygiene all these are contributing factors and organization is helping girls and young women solve this problem in an environmentally friendly way. rolling dice for education that's what these women are doing. in the countryside and. each square represents an aspect of. the game gives girls a chance to learn about the changes the female body undergoes doing her body a taboo topic in india a lot of girls often choose to stay home when they have deputies. but being bebo avivim made many home visits and try to ask parents why they aren't sending that girls to school who want someone too scared to attend classes we had

no way to persuade the parents so many girls would be forced to drop out. as many as 20 percent of the girls in india drop out of the school when they begin menstruating a lack of bathrooms for good feelings of shame and the social sounding the dropping some of the reason. even girls who don't drop out of school miss an average of 50 days in the school year your demands christian issues that's the case for 15 year old cooper. when might be viewed start i feel very unwell i feel sick my stomach hurts i feel anxious i'm moody and i also experience back. in the countryside girls and women primarily done to make do with old clothes which are often day this can lead to disease and even infertile. the

sucky project wants to change that with the help of vending machines they provide goes with free sanitary napkins. they were manufactured by women in the surrounding villages which gives them a source of income and that's not the only benefit. and if you flew to new should you didn't even know about sanitary go back and listen to them not only so i'm going girl and you're back but we did have a blow that began after we set up the unit you know what i understood about sanitary napkins are how the army and there are many benefits i knew and the girls would have to travel into the city new purchases and i thought it would be that we're making them right here the accessible to us all by joe much and we're back to the data and the gum by the units not by their name if i go to interview the unity of liberty and government the leaflets that. these spout sell for twitter be less

than a 3rd of industrially manufactured cubans being made from natural materials like book plug a banana plan fight that also environmentally friendly and productive generally contain a large amount of lost however there is still the problem of trash that's also something salty the dick who leads the sucky project is working on. the religious because of the fuel problem because the garbage collection system they visit and alternative uses that was not there i am your god expect go where you are all you good will just see her beauty is going to go. you know her luck is in there the solution is small clear evidence the project provides them the vision of low cost since the senator the napkins are made of biological materials the smoke and ash is the emit when done a less harmful to the environment.

it's required here with them preacher to dispose of the napkins tartarus is a very different he said why not. are granted mag disposed all at once i currently these are live on a 100 degrees so why not use something which is you know which doesn't create a lot of temperature at all. then let's make the process also a girl a village girl she knows all related to that so the process should be direct simple the feminine hygiene products are now being produced in $24.00 states and in some of the women this work has become something of a calling. why them i feel like this is them having nobody was working on the issue of menstrual hygiene before. doing this work brings

me joy i can educate our girls and make them understand one thing like the way we used to for those of us have in this study was beside me was even there as if it were the met one. in more than 3000 schools and will end years in good shit out of school girls receive free sanitary napkins from the sucky project in addition to education about on boxers. and sanitary pads have made a big difference and they've done much more than create jobs you can depend on. they have also given women bag their dignity when they are having their peers and girls the chance to attend school without dropping go because of months grace yes. now these women in the us slowly inching towards a level playing field but there's such a long way to go not only for them but for women all across the world big

architects in germany for example the industry has long been male dominated just told of architects and city planners in germany a woman we met an architect who is causing a sensation we call sustainable building concepts. this are you veda center in a wholesome home southern germany looks like a huge bird's nest it's made of durable large board and untreated willow. on a having god designed it. she's considered a pioneer in sustainable construction. and i have and i want to change the world with architecture for this on a reliance on teamwork and on natural building materials like clay which creates a pleasant indoor climate all. year round and it's quick though again i think one thing though i designed this project with martin how i work the process was very

intuitive so we had to follow our gut instinct somewhat the appropriate portions and materials were for the site. correct and. in germany clay is more expensive than conventional building materials and it has a bad reputation but clay offers many advantages it stores heat absorbs harmful substances and is environmentally friendly. in addition clay is water soluble and that's a very important quality because that makes it easy to recycle and clay is simple to repair if an edge breaks off you just let it and press it back on where it fell off it looks just the same. mankind's oldest building material has another advantage it can be worked by hand without any expensive machinery on a having discovered her passion for clay and other local resources at the age of 19 during a year abroad in bangladesh she returned

a few years later to carry out her 1st construction project there. she won her 1st award for a school in the top 4 that she designed in 2004 for her final design thesis. since then ana has been building with clay and a clear conscience 1st projects took her to asia and africa. in 2013 construction began in china on these hostels made of around earth stones and bamboo this was on a helping guys contribution to the long gone international be an olive the design is reminiscent of chinese lanterns. she built this stunning daycare center in zimbabwe in 2014 and a half inches sustainable building concept is in demand worldwide and she's happy to pass. her knowledge she currently teaches at harvard and in munich madrid in zurich and is one of the few women to run her own architectural firm if there is

still huge imbalance between men and women in architecture and we really need to focus more on empowering women and entrusting them with the same construction tasks as men because we can build. again and again she feels drawn back to bangladesh. she values participation highly and equal rights as well. diving the whole village both men and women joined in to build this 2 story there of the center for the disabled. on a having goes 1st building to be made of clay in europe went up in 2016 birthing room and austria's for outback state. she practices the architecture she preaches in her own home as well a remodeled 500 year old farmhouse with offices downstairs and family space up

stairs she and her daughter miriam came up with the idea for this reading cave with some of the neighborhood children. building it was such a great experience each day we dig into some wet clay and add a bit more to the construction that's the kind of thing you learn when you work in places like bangladesh or zimbabwe where you can get everyone big and small to pull together that way you can create something wonderful together something to be proud of. back in rosenheim on off or just ahead she's on a schedule once this project and the various completed she'll move on to the next construction site in ghana. and evolve. i want to use architecture to improve living conditions bolsters social justice and cultural diversity and preserve this planet for future generations.

and with each new design on a comes a step closer to achieving this she may not change the world from one day to the next but even rome wasn't built in a day. at the end of the b. job is a job if i'm able to perform it effectively it shouldn't matter where on the agenda spectrum i like a big. job traditionally performed by me with it not only is she breaking the glass ceiling she's also raising awareness for a picture. it's usually men who wear this kind of outfit in kosovo they are hardly any female beekeepers in the country sheepish shiela is one of them. an electric fence protects her hives from the beds that still roam this area near precision kosovo's 2nd largest city.

this shar mountains national park just to the self is a refuge for balkan links this species of wildcat is critically endangered there are only a few dozen of them left. sheepish has 150 beehives she's the boss and her husband works for her that's quite an unusual set up but it works for them. norm i'm positive one in the all we like to do things systematically. i start from one and. my husband starts from the other if you're. we'd like to compete. it's kind of a game to see who can check more beehive. today it looks like a tie once the inspections are done charlotte takes care to extinguish the coal in her smoker which is used to come the bees

a forest fire could have disastrous consequences then she reveals a little trade secret. in order not to mix the this is our bees wax harvest from this autumn we use it to create new hives it's a lot of work but this is the most natural option for the dog and instead of using mass produced industrial wax unfortunately the government doesn't provide any funding for the extra effort involved but it's the only way to treat our bees well informed model. and it's worth the effort she doesn't have any trouble finding buyers for her organic honey. it sells for twice the price of the honey sold at street side markets beekeeping breeding and she's making are an important part of the economy in kosovo the youngest and smallest nation in the balkans. shallow went abroad to study organic farming

methods. nowadays environmental activists come to see her to learn how she applies organic methods to be keeping. the aim is to raise awareness across kossovo of eco friendly farming practices. i attended a workshop in germany i learned a lot about animal welfare which nobody here knows anything about i'm now giving courses to pass on this knowledge i hope people will come to realise we have to protect me. and that includes being as they are so important for the environment. nature conservation can be an uphill battle. the director of the shark mountains national park has been sounding the alarm. he says there are just 8 rangers patrolling the park's 500 square kilometer has he also says that they need at least

3 times as many ranges. environmentalist's could help us by bringing our staff shortage to the attention of the government. but there are also other problems to address such as illegal logging and garbage with the. approval and also the construction of hydroelectric power plants. in kosovo and neighboring albania hydro power plants are still widely considered an eco friendly way to generate electricity but building more of them alongside illegal timber felling would further shrink the habitats of endangered species such as bess lynx and wolves. we have to pay more attention to our natural environment especially in the national park this also affects my business. if forest clearance and everything that goes

along with it is allowed to go on i will eventually lose my belief. because of a gained independence in 2008 it's only natural she says that it will take a while for such a young country to sort things out she push for one remains optimistic. in a traditional society like india gender equality is a complex gone musician art is possibly one of the weakest to start this conversation. uses comics and graphic narratives to do just that let's meet this visual artist to see how she's using her art to break some barriers in indian society. but i think we and we need to ask those often stop ourselves sure almost jeannine our peak and being fearless in imagining what we give me this is your do you see actions that need to be had and are being

essentially this still in new orleans 50 agent o'grady. solution structure. says working with art allows her to best expresses ideas and her perspective on life. she's inspired by feminist leaders and people's movements this is reflected in her drawings and the issues on which she's chosen to focus. in the early twenty's either was captivated but something entirely new what she called the magic of bringing text and images together to create powerful narratives like this book on an eco feminist who led a movement against the forestation in india doubting it's meant often you were a city dove in part of the story is that in that area i thought one of the previews for this year's state of you know it in i wanted to be

a conversation. and that's why if we are to do work i need good comics and graphic magazines. that engages with women from marginalized communities she's traveled to remote regions to there she saw the transformative potential of ott. before sanity said no no as the had to move kind of. in speedy sing from faculty of the managers in their communities to see the effect they can create life there we be one. over there to see you know you need to you can experience for your ideas are your dreams are distant to that is a 4 stage it's really important to feel to be able to have that chance to go on and think it's so easy that we came together to look at what it means to think of

ourselves is as is a gene markets as people who are defying our aged. lastingly to was drawn to a mass movement led by been in delhi. the shaheen bank sit in protest at a major public highway was against the government's citizenship amendment act critics said the legislation was discriminatory against muslims. it was absolutely unbelievable to be on a public highway replugging tax piece of course but having really speaks so strong be up when it's the us and so clearly about who are democratic they are and what citizenship means the only real friend i could express were their hearing true and drying everything come back to my studio and me close to sports just putting him in the english eton sports isn't drawings on this peaceful 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 of choice to say so within these dual kind of context that would mean being at the forefront of people's movements and of a steve that state of catching were big she had stated anything of this and it is a moment that i would think we conceived. of believe is what we want and. like we met another you know in germany. feel strongly about protecting the and why women and about the need for equality in patriarchal societies around the world solution she created an eco friendly and sustainable game to tackle both of these in one let's take a look for. faster card games are simply

a means of expressing gender justice and diversity to show that no matter whether you're a black woman or a gay man you can reach any position you want. on paper all people are supposed to be equal but that's not yet the case in reality. i want to illustrate that we can change small things now every day a lot of things that determine our behavior and way of thinking and so we can bring topics like racism equality to the kitchen table you can play with your grandparents you can play with your parents or with your uncle around for example i'm sorry playfully see how society can be shaped.

images shape us we grow up with pictures we constantly see images in books in the made in advertising that attribute roles that show what women and men are meant to look like and they are in the depict men and women the gender binary for example that's why it's so important to change visual language and if kids of color play with these cards and can recognize themselves for example. or if i play with them and i can see a queen that means i can also reach the top position. so i believe acquire she is an issue everywhere especially justice in the climate debate there is a big discussion about privilege about who makes decisions who's involved in the decision making process for example

a great many women are affected by climate change that's hard about the psyche yet many decisions are only made by men and by very small portion of society. and the problem comes from one person in particular namely miriam a person wearing a headscarf here in germany we didn't want to depict any religion actually and we did a workshop with her and she told us about her experience of discrimination and she was a person where we notice we needed to have a woman with a headscarf here in the deck and there was no way around it even when we were trying to avoid depicting religion yes she was definitely a person who gave us quite a loss. and . i constantly ask myself whether it's worth it it's a lot of effort of big time investment but every time someone comes up to maine

says that school or an affected person told me what i'm doing is important and then i know why i do it and that's wonderful. oh. god. and any of the change because we've introduced you to be mean or put into play. the next month or next year but with the smallest of actions we're inching closer to an equal what a sustainable planet that we can be i'll leave you with that thought and see you again next week for all of us in india and germany the bat.

soon. to be. discovered. subscription. hello and welcome to in good shape as always directly from him this is rare in 19021 of the 1st persons in germany was diagnosed with hiv that's the virus which causes aids back in those days this disease was not treatable and it caused

a lot of fear thanks to medical progress and doctors like me a lot has changed and improved some called the city of positives on the one hand there are a lot of people tested hiv positive and on the other hand they treat it with the highest medical standards and that's very positive but how can one lead to normal life with a potentially deadly virus and how can we protect ourselves from being infected and will we be able to defeat the virus one day i'm talking about this today with a chevy research. we're meeting at the famous. journey museum of technology in berlin. and you brought great news to billions with you because it seems that there might be an examination against vicente well it's a little bit too early to say brother be going to have a vaccine but there are currently 2 studies running to see whether the potential

big scene might work all of them have been tested in humans that they are safe and using immune responses and this is looks like really good data at the same time they have been tested in the monkeys and in particular one of them shows in monkeys a really high ethical sea which suggests or gives the hope that this might actually also work in humans but we will only know in 2021 or 2022 those results and then we will know if you're going to have a fix seen on it and if there will be a vixen will it be effective and safe well. for clinical studies normally 1st test and that has been done for that vaccine the 1st test whether it's going to be safe so these studies have been performed and all of those studies have shown that these vaccines that are currently on the development of totally safe there are minor complications sometimes like for any back seen or any action like for example

some rash at the site of injections but this is totally normal so right now there is no like seen but there is something called pred which is the pre exposure profile texas which can prevent hiv infection so could you please explain the difference between those 2 well the pre-exposure prophylaxis a pretty new development of preventing hiv infection and it's really a good and efficacious tool that we have so if it's taking daily and correctly we have to be a preventing age of infection in over 95 percent so the. this is the medication it's a chemo profit axis that has to be taking every day if it seen as basically injection that trains the immune system like a soccer team to combat the virus and comes in so it's basically training on the one inside the moon system on the other and you're giving

a medication to prevent infection thanks for now we'll continue to talk in just a moment and i'll be back. unfortunately we have to wait a little longer for an explanation against hiv and until then we have to protect ourselves against infection in other ways in 1903 and educational pamphlet was published in the us it's titled how to have sex in an epidemic or use the word sex on international t.v. in this publication the term safer sex was used for the 1st time or say for sex this was the year of 1983 i was 12 years old to graham until today there are 3 problems reservations ignorance misinformation activists are fighting for sex education by various means. the home he's majesty the king of condoms. will join him in his kingdom kibera slum in the kenya

africa's largest appen slauson. is my kingdom is my territory this is my earliest i can mia every day and use what you call the. first. item is to engage the community to have a little ship with them. and i teach them on the whole to use expanding did still get is from the i do the most ritual so have gotten. from the most everybody will be depending to the need for one thing made me want one. this time. eva king of condoms started advocating for safe sex and the importance of using condoms after high school after losing a close friend to a change stanley decided to honest and open conversations about hiv with as many

people as possible to draw people's attention here is this i catch a royal outfit. this is very attractive and it's also make me feel proud that i'm the king and i'm able to interact with people you know a good level at a low level the high level coming from the slums it's very attractive to them. in the last 2 decades hiv infections in kenya have decreased by house organizations like l.v. c.t. health who supply the king of condoms with while condoms have helped steer these efforts however 5.6 percent of the population still carries the virus and recently a new worrying trend has a much to. do we've noticed that now among the new infections there's an increased number among young people generally so here we're talking about age about 15 to 24 years who are at highest risk of infection in poor settlements like kibera

infections among young people particularly on the right. i've come to realize that these are chartered. by guinea because the same god when you ask them why why what happened tell me i was ideas man he bought for me being he started being made into a standard windows a process man was talking of in. the king of condoms and his projects supply girls with green farming it's full of digital ones so that they can sell the crops even the small income helps young girls become independent and less likely to try to get in and save 618 year old lucky from idea is part of the project and part of her living with a farming pad. they don't have to depend to those my new. small go since sexual. activity so that you can get some money to buy. your food they can feed them say courage to say no i can't support myself the king of condoms

moves on to continue he stay. mission to protect his kingdom kibera i can tell you to. use an african i want someone to put a sample of people living. here in africa the power on that simple thing called the times. needed to fix it i believe in need somebody who could know how much where it hit immediately. when closed. in the 1980 s. in a chevy infection was basically a death sentence especially terrible for children who were infected by their mothers during birth today things are different the virus can be kept in check with specific medication and the once deadly disease aids cannot break out those who are treated with those drugs in time. have practically in normal life expectancy many

people have been living with the virus for years some of them since birth. the fact that she had been booked knows even walking along here today is not something she takes for granted she's coming up for her 35th birthday and no one neither her family nor her doctors told that she would live this long. this for me and their friends so much i'm going way beyond the life expectancy they predicted for me were told that i would only live to the age of 4 and a half so every year is one more year that i not only survived but also experienced so i want to. shoot in is thought to be the person who's lived with me the longest in all of europe her parents were both drug addicts and hiv positive she contract to deserve birth and her parents both died and she was raised by her grandmother her life revolved around doctors' appointments and heavy medication. in the small

towns sure and grew up and she was ostracized not even accepted into kindergarten she was very lonely. i know. my grandmother tried to compensate for all of the loneliness i felt there were a lot of experiences that i missed out on experiences you get from being in a group. it's still like that today and of course i also don't have that special friend from childhood who knows you better than anyone. hiv is part of her daily life even so she even managed to finish school and trained as a medical technical assistant. sharon has been treated for the past 15 years by christoph stefan a senior physician at frankfurt university hospital he conducts research in the field of hiv medicine and says great progress has been made. to target these days we have very many different therapies and quite

a few single tablet therapies available that that means a combination therapy mixed into one pill so the patient takes one pill daily. nowadays sharon also only takes one tablet a day. in the past she had to take up to 40 over the years she had an on her doctor have developed a good relationship and even hold educational events together at the university aimed specifically at young people as from sandwiches when the shooting that's shot i thought it was really brave of sharing to be so vocal and open to give advice and talk about her personal experience and what it's like often in. front of me on 2 fronts it was interesting hearing things from her point of view really impressive and. even in the most difficult times she had never lost heart she continued to set herself new goals such as participating in the birth. it's here and i'm now 34 and i'm now slowly understanding who i am and feel more at peace with myself and of

course nowadays the illness doesn't play the same role as it used to i'm ill longer struggling to survive each day lives. these days she has one main goal to simply enjoy life to its fullest. the united nations originally wanted to get rid of aids by the year 2020 and they failed so they got a new deadline right now at 2030 so what is slowing us down in the fight against aids well the fight against aids is basically treatment of all individuals that are on the positive the problem with this is you need to have therapies so you need to have funding to actually treat everybody who is infected at the same time you also have to test everyone who are might be infected and because of stigma and discrimination people do not like to get tests that there can be so we have

basically 2 problems on the one inside a lack of funding to treat everyone and the on the other hand like stigma and discrimination that prevents individuals from being tested and they can rest in europe or the united states in africa. by hatred sexual transmission so what must be done to reduce the numbers well so this test and treat is actually a very powerful tool of what we have so because we know that individuals that are hiv positive end up being treated the against the 1st of all they have an almost normal life expectancy then an individual the hiv negative but more importantly they cannot transmit hiv me to another person this treatment as prevention or task abbreviated is really powerful and that's the message that needs to go to out there because people should get tested and treated because they have

a longer life expectancy and they cannot transmit hiv to another person there's still a lot of misinformation in mr roland. so one of the biggest obstacles holding us back at the tree. i think one of the biggest obstacles to people are afraid of getting tested against hiv. there's so much fear and stigma and discrimination surrounding that individuals would rather like to die of aids than actually being tested but knowing that the person is not infectious that undetectable virus means that the virus cannot be transmissible undetectible and transmissible is so powerful this is the message that needs to get out and condoms are very very effective very cheap why do we need something like a prep the pre-exposure prophylaxis anyway condoms are just not for everyone some

people do not want to take condoms as they have problems with of direction taking a condom but at the same time for example the woman may not be able to ask they are hospital or their partner. that he is taking a condom so these are all factors in individual might want to have another prevention methods and for those individuals the pre-exposure prophylaxis as an individual lies chemotherapy against hiv infection is a really powerful to think so much of this talk right now you continue talking just a moment unprotected sex is the most common way for the virus to be transmitted from person to person for a long time there were only 2 ways to protect yourself from being infected abstinence. and condoms but today there is prep the pre exposure prophylaxis dr streak just explained how it works prep is made to help reduce the virus will twilight. new york research itself the goal of drastically reducing the number of

fresh h.i.v. infections on truvada tablets is proven to be an effective on.
