the tumbling types aren't i a scream for jurors are dealing with and even at that i killed many civilians. coming quoting my father. i was a student i wanted to build a life for myself. but suddenly life became elish kind of. providing insights. that matters w. made for mines. the. gender equality is not the concept it used to be for centuries 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 to add to these the pandemic has brought all qualities to before we have to fight harder. to have their 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 sanitary products dysfunctional toilets in the school premises a gap in venice of menstruation hygiene all these and more a contributing factor as an 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 at the state run middle school in the countryside

and. each square represents an aspect of the menstruation. the game gives girls a chance to learn about the changes the female body undergoes doing. a taboo topic and 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 why they aren't sending that girl who wants someone to vent to scared to attend classes that 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 taboo sounding the topic are some of the reasons even girls who don't drop out of school miss an average of 50 days in the school year or 2 months christian issues that's the case

for 15 year old cooper. when might be viewed stocked i feel very young then i feel sick my stomach hurts i feel anxious i'm moody and i also was beaten 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 look and listen

to them not only so i'm going girly. but we did have a blow that the band after we set up the unit you know we understood what sanitary not comes up with how the army and there are many benefits earlier in the grose we have to travel into the city new departures even to talk but now that we're making them right here those that are accessible to us all my job i'm much more like the data in the gum by the units not by the enemy if i go to the unit to the lab or a young guy markedly things that. these pads sell for 3 to be less than a 3rd of industrial manufactured it could with us being made from natural materials like good plug a banana plant 5 that also environmentally friendly and productive that 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 that exists and

all those of uses that was not there i mean you got expect go where you are all your good will just see her beauty is going to go. you know her left is in there the solution the small clay of ns the projector why does the vision of low cost since the cemetery napkins are made of biological materials the smoke and ash is the emit when bones are less harmful to the environment. it required here we give preacher to dispose of the no. progress is all very different you say why not. are you going to america guess this was draw there are warrants 100 degrees all there's an 100 degrees so why not use something which is you know which doesn't clear your temperature i thought. then for the

let's make the process also. a religious good he knows how to lay the tuna so in the process should be that simple these feminine hygiene production are now being produced in 24 states in india or some of the very this work has become something of a calling for. them i say but this can have it nobody was working on the issue of menstrual hygiene before this doing this work brings me joy i can educate our girls and make them understand one thing like that is not quite the way we used to hear i don't often have in this child he was good that he was even there as if it was on me but not. in more than 3000 schools and rural areas and good you know school girls receive free sanitary napkins from the sucky project in addition to education about their own bodies. but sanitary pads have made a big difference and they've done much more than create jobs. they have also given

women bag. when they are having good beer and girls the chance to a gun to school with drop and go because of months duration. now these women in a slowly inching to it's a level. 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 the city planners in germany are women we met an architect who was 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 larch wood and untreated willow.

honor having got 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 relies on teamwork and on natural building materials like clay which creates a pleasant indoor climate all year round and it's. 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 proportions and materials where for the site. 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. also losing in addition clay is water soluble and that's

a very important quality because that makes it easy to recycle and clean simple to repair if an edge breaks off you just let it not 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 and a lot of opera 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 on 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 a 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 in time the whole village

both men and women joined in to build this 2 story therapy 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 by 100 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. is what the polish. 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 ghana 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 fellows. back in rosenheim on a forges ahead she's on a schedule once this project and the various completed she'll move on to the next construction site in ghana. might evolve. i want to use architecture to improve living conditions bolster 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 beat a job is a job if i'm able to perform it effectively it shouldn't matter where on the gender spectrum i like a beekeeper. she took on a job traditionally performed by min and 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 sheller is one of them. an electric fence protects her hives from the beds that still roam this area near priest when kosovo's 2nd largest city. the shire mountains national park just to the south is a refuge for balkan links this species of wildcat is critically endangered there are only a few dozen of them left. sheep or shall or 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. 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 your room you control or include we like to compete. it's kind of a game to see who can check more beehives. 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 calm the bees a forest fire could have disastrous consequences. then she reveals a little trade secret. in order not to make 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 be keeping sheep reading 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. 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 kilometers he also says that they need at least 3 times as many ranges. for fire mentalists 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 and. probably 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 it 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 sheepish 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. i think we if we mean us so often stop ourselves sure all know being our peak and being fearless and imagining what we can make of i think this is your do you call it we see if there's a need to be had in an instant gee this. great many. social 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

only 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 that in and off you were city building part of the story is that i don't want to produce work that's just standard you know of a thing i wanted to be a conversation. and that's where if you going to do any good comics and graphic narratives. 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 theory had the room painted of it in speedy sing for all faculty

off the ministers and even death of uni fees 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 in your dreams are just to do that is a full stage or is really really important to feel to be able to have that chance to form and think this through e.c. that we can together look at what it means to think of our steps is as as gene markets as people who are defying our edited. gnostic 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 that space of course but 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 reference i could express what i am hearing through in trying everything come back to my studio and me close to sports stuff both in hindi and english even sports isn't drawings on this piece where protests have not been compiled into a book. a powerful graphic narrative of women at the forefront of a mass movement. at the scene k. we see what the government of the state is doing to young women who speak out and of choice to say so we did these don't think of context so we mean being at the forefront of people's movements and steve that state of work big state doing anything of this and it is a moment that i would think we conceive me or believe is what we want and.

life eater we met another innovator in germany god only embark feel strongly about protecting the environment and about the need for equality in patriarchal societies around the world a solution she created an eco friendly and sustainable game to tackle both of these in one go let's take a look. forums and fast 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 and sorry playfully see how society can be shaped. images shape us we grow up with pictures we constantly see images in books in the media 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. a subclass i believe acquire she is an issue everywhere especially justice in the climate debate there's a big discussion about privilege about who makes decisions who's involved in that is. process for example a great many women are affected by climate change that's harsh of our society yet many decisions are only made by men and by very small portion of society. and a problem for 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 noticed 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 vested a 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 we've introduced you to be may not put an end to climate change. tomorrow or 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 talk and see you again

next week for all of us in india and germany goodbye.
