to go beyond theology as well as we take on the world. 8 our oldest. we're all about the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes, like policemen a deal we are here is actually on fire made for mines from droughts that destroy crops, the rising sea levels that submerged their hopes, women been a disproportionate burden of the climate crisis. gender inequalities are largely to

blame for the amico india. we meet women, tackling both the root causes and the effects of the crisis. hello and welcome. i'm some of that, i'm women. i'm not only on the frontline of really warming. they're also at the forefront of the efforts to find solutions in the face of the last one group in india asunder. buns forest has found strength in numbers and is working to save the uni ecosystem. it's members call home with the 14th to february 2012 was a day that changed detail now does life forever? her husband hadn't planned to go out. but then he was asked to join fishermen on a trip into the forest to fill in for a man who had fallen ill. iris, thick, a blue lamb dilate tiger pounced on him from the trees above anything. what is

the impact knocked him into the river? you'll hear women and ha, appealing from there. the tiger just dragged him away and thought uneasily. the thunder bonds are the largest remaining habitant of the royal bengal tiger. located in again, jetta delta. one 3rd of the forest lies in eastern india. it's the world's biggest mangrove forest, with a complex network of rivers. channels and islands. fishing is permitted in a buffer zone around the large protected area this under bon national park. but more and more people living on the fringes of the forest had been forced to venture into the reserve, where they collect crabs or honey to make a living. each time they are risking their lives, local se every year, dozens of people fall prey to tigers. lurking in the lush foliage,

the sender bonds are a dangerous place, but the low lying forest is itself endangered by climate change and rising sea levels. over the past 30 years, the region has lost a quarter of its mangrove trees. title erosion is one factor, but illegal logging has also taken a toll. deforestation has been fueled by a growing population clearing land for fields and villages. one of the victims is the sundry tree threatened by increasing salinity. the dominant mangrove of this under bonds is dying. a slow death, it's listed as an endangered species. the tree is a lifeline for locals who depend on everything from its nutritional fruits to the medicinal properties of its leaves and bark. and its timber is used for buildings and boats. ah, for villagers. sundry trees form

a natural barrier that is their only line of defense against high tides storms and soil. erosion hazards that have increased alarmingly over the past years. in dire latter bought thousands cycling ayla in 2009. we realized that the water level has been rising every 2 to 3 years with every storm. why that if, if it was a home scene had happened during psych loan bull bull verify, i'm can i find yas as well? what is wonderful because you want to do what i had a long live allotted, only to live with on it. old people did in my opinion, is the sunburn, mangrove forest is destroyed in the flow of the sea. water will end up reaching the city of calcutta the wanted. there was a group of women are working to save this under bonds. women like kita. they are known as the tiger widows, though they lost their husbands to tiger attacks. they know their way of life has

contributed to the decline of this unique ecosystem. and that their future depends on its survival. since 2018 they've been involved in efforts to revive it's keystone species, the sundry tree or the gosh that the whole they've had with everyone here knows about the sunder bonds. and how useful the sundry sri is in one train equals one life i that the god. so when i was given the chance to work with these trees and even earn some money, why i decided i do it through this work, the tiger widows on go sabah island, earn an additional monthly income of 2500 rupees. that's about 30 euros. with the help of regional development groups. they spearhead community tree planting, drives and creates sundry nurseries on vacant land outside their villages. within 3 years, they've raised close to 2000 saplings. amended i give i a lovely zillow. when a psych loan hit last year known as and see water breach the banks in other places

on a candle or no, no the i've but not here where we have sundry trees them regardless of the will of invo hanging will pick up. mm. but how do these women feel about protecting the tigers? habitat ship? hi chandra. moorlick is a school teacher and go sabah island and an ecologist. he says these women foster no animosity towards the big cats on one of the reason that i'm wonderful. we're all the people who venture into the jungle that attack honey bye, can collect crabs and fish going up with you about what can happen or that even if they lose a family member to a tiger attack dog. aca. what a? well, i don't at all. consider the tiger to be them mortal enemy vegas to the shop. do 9 . what do they gazelle, a dinay walk, groaned, goes, oh i people understand the tags only attack when we intrude on their territory and disturb them in some way that done alcohol. heaters days are busy. during high tide,

she collects crabs near her home. at low tide, she looks for sundry seeds. gast, i couldn't, i'm that he shouldn't have. we've fallen in love with these trees. it's almost as if our lives are intertwined with them when the plantation work has given due to a much needed additional income and saving the mangroves. a new sense of purpose in life. from local, from global ecosystems. plastic pollution is a huge threat. women's sand to the products contribute significantly to the millions of tons of plastic waste that enters the embodiment every year. are bought out, explores why this essential item of boss little k has developed in such a damaging manner. and back, come back in 3rd grade, only you'll know it's a tampon menstrual product, a such a big secret way. men don't skip this periods, concern all of us and the environment. and because we hardly ever talk about it,

this is what happens. billions of pads and tampons, end up in the environment each year. some of which i made almost entirely of plastic. big companies continue to profit of us islands. the good news is we have solutions that are more eco friendly antiques, but hardly anybody is using them. let's start with the menstrual cup. it seems brand new, but it's actually been around for wait for it over a 100 years. around the time the light bug was invented the 1st ideas for the modern cup wellburn around 200 people. 5 patents were similar, blunt capturing devices from belts sacks to suspenders and aprons and girdles. as women entered the workforce and mass production began, the more practical inventions bags, cups,

and tampons and to the market. the bad became the lead stopped choice at the time seen as the save option by those too squeamish to imagine their wives and daughters inserting things into their bodies. some feared that they would even lose their virginity. the old tampons and cups were being quickly out completed by the mid 20th century. the 1st company to sell mass produced cub soon went out of business. ah. so while a cup got elbowed out, bads, go better with adhesive wings and plastic absorbency instead of cotton. and with a generational shift and the sexual revolution. tampons gain acceptance in the west to my the 1970 is about 70 percent of us. women use them correspondingly. damp on them pads began filling up bins and landfills. so in only do thousands the cup re launched with a new environmental agenda,

silicone replaced rubber. it's our most readable top she'd ever get. but but pad and tampon makers had beg clausen do deep lots in fluid, better. so you're through and the image of period had been flo sanitized, but it was hard to imagine touching, cleaning, and reusing something that had come into contact with the seemingly shameful menstrual blood. or thanks to the shame and advertising countess tons of sanitary products on are thrown away each you leaking chemicals and micro plastics into the air, land and sea. this she may be most barren denisia as patriarchal cultures. by menstruating women, austin, seen as impure in misapplied manufacturers. who in the mid 19 eighties realized that l m i c, which is the low and middle income countries had the biggest market, 85 percent of the was menstruating,

live and low in low and middle in some countries to gender scholars supply medicaid . but the says that about 80 percent of people who menstruate in india have no access to financial products for the market is very attractive. the government is working to improve access as well and promotes unsustainable power, which now nearly overwhelmed the market. so let's take a look at our options then the pad can be up to 90 percent plastic. that easy to use and throw away, but with inadequate, with disposable systems around the world bads, most likely end up in the great outdoors. next up is the tampon. those with obligate does have an extra layer of largely single use plastic, but as long as just the applicator, the damp one itself is made of several little plastic. from the layer that holds it

altogether to the absorbing core barriers then some recently become more popular in the west. they have 2 layers and external resistant, one of plastic or natural fiber to prevent leaks and a super absorb and fabric. one close to the skin. the reusable making a strong comeback is the cup it can take a lot of getting used to an access to running water is absolutely essential for convenience and hygiene. but interest is growing. environmentally speaking, one cup can replace around 20 single used pads or tampons? both cycle that's about 250 a year and over a lifetime just full cups can replace up to 10000 single use products. relying on company for inflammation to lead to the b enforcement on the sigma and shame around

periods and pollution. so what we need now in less him and more awareness and access the choices, but i'll bet on the pocket and the environment. extreme weather events such as floods and drought disproportionately affect women. that's because they're more likely to live in poverty than men in indonesia. one community activist is providing women with precisely the kind of help that can boost their resilience to climate change. it may look like paradise, but indonesia is southern. most province of east new such angora is feeling the impacts of climate change. recurring droughts have triggered a water crisis. there's only one well in the village of noah baki, but it doesn't always have water. it was at this well that jani bolo, had an encounter that changed the course of her life. a little more in the fire

panel. a long time ago. i met a pregnant woman here at the well that you get the short time later she died during childbirth. i love the physical toll of fetching water killed her and her baby dizzy lisa. yeah. gotta get up happening. this move me to help other women and people with disabilities that my feel commonly father. i want to help reduce maternal and infant mortality rates as well as domestic violence against women that i found that i had that from black east new. so 10 gara is one of indonesia poorest provinces, women in particular face hardship, droughts have made it more difficult for them to provide basic needs for their families. jani bo, though, provides assistance by teaching local women how to make handicrafts. the small income they earn has helped. oh, city i asia has to care for her disabled husband though she herself has been left physically impaired by malnutrition. in that penalty element by husband has been

paralyzed for 7 years. oh, good. that they, that we used to fight all the time because we didn't have rice. i get the, we didn't have enough to eat. his temper would often flare. he got angry easily and would beat me. yeah. that about that. but, but it book were sad when the pandemic drove up prices for rope, leather and textiles. jani bolo, found cheaper alternatives like palm leaves to use for handy grafts will and get that. i'm delight, they'll get that week. and we were still able to have classes during the coven. 19 pandemic, m. b. c. even able bodied people are facing challenges. going up at that by it's hard to imagine what disabled people like city asia have been going through. a family can fill out the but with affordable and locally available materials like palm leaves that we were able to continue holding classes on how to make handicrafts a few times a month. about deeper all this, a good that the women produce, hats, bags,

and baskets. jani bolo is well connected in the province and uses her network to help them sell their wares. that's helped them almost tripled their monthly income 250-0000 indonesian rou pianos, or about 90 euro's income that makes them more independent and less vulnerable to the changing environment. many women in rural areas have a deep understanding of their communities and local resources. that's helping them find practical solutions to environmental changes. we met one in southern india who is spearheaded a movement to save biodiversity by drawing on a family tradition. it is a quite more, it could be appalling. a small village in the southern indian estate of thomas, not in a little shop bought of athena garage is suggesting some home remedies to a young mother. she has been quietly leading

a grassroots movement for the last 20 years, conserving the bio diversity of the region through a revival of tradition, herbs and medicinal plans. almost 65 percent of india's population depends upon traditional medicines for health care. the world health organization estimates, however, climate change and over harvesting has led to a massive destruction of these plans. about $300.00 species in india are currently under threat of extinction. the clue really boil region, red bar with the verse is said to still be home over $800.00 indigenous species of plums for what the learned about native herbs as a child. also growing up to be the 1st woman graduate in holland, one of the lab on the bottom, but, but i'm brianna, maria, leave it on the back on the 3, belong to a family of traditional her bills, meaning that everyone and my religious years to come to my house for medication at this juncture i was diagnosed with the skin disease when i was merely 3 days. oh ha

. ah, the god oh, what i do? my family struggled hard to find a until the succeeded when i was 7 or at the front. even at that age, i learned to discern which herb was used for one of the best, although the guy, the anomaly, and didn't dig of the atlantic up, we owned by a commodity. later she did her masters in human rights, but was then called to a project by the and one mentor. but john, the column forrest organization based and tom and none as a herbal health work. ah, she formed self help groups that would encourage women to set up herb gardens so and produce close to 40 herbal remedies, cosmetics, and organic foods. helping these women on a living land for the 1st time out of our forage sustainably from nearby forest and kitchen gardens. dried and hen processed and sold at la manella goss is starting at

40 rupees to nearby villages and organic and submissions. i the old man and i, and i want to go on the internet here. if you see in our village, for instance, the most common problems are in back pain and ne pantheon and for that for use locally sourced herbs. to make an oil that easy, the pain thought i, we have paved away for the natives to use it easy. only me and when a longer marianna, our by the and i'm with the remote village of not do coupon is one of the most precious advantage regions in the district earlier, government worked as cheap liberators for as this and franchised housewives to the self help group. they have gained a certain degree of independence now and my family didn't let me study a matter. i got married as soon as i completed my twel standard in school or after our baby turned one. i attended meetings of a self help group calling anybody interested in working the dogs. and at 1st i was skeptical about how i would work with

a young kid and whether i could work with others in the tea. and my mom, the neighboring an i nursery, do a boat launch, a grown for other self help groups as well as for home gardeners across the state. one, sustainability is the key driver that run through all the self help groups set up by poverty. she tells us how they have come to create a system that got in these it a by below congress, lost it a good look if there is a no could resource and it's an abundance you plan on how we can create value added products from your dish. now, in case there is a shortage of any plant, we decide on how one can re propagating the very old walk of them. but of the rental again, it was a little go thanks to far with enough guidance, finding work many herbs have found their way back to all kitchens. and hundreds of women have become breadwinners for their families. from the country kitchens of india to an award winning restaurant in the heart of the

british capital. by employing in all women team of immigrants. it's owner is fighting for equality in the male dominated hospitality industry. as she serves up the indian cuisine of her childhood. the darjeeling express ranks among london's top addresses for authentic indian cuisine. the restaurants owner ask my con, became famous after she was profiled on the netflix series chefs table. she cooks traditional family recipes like beat root writer and peralta. i love to cook in my family kitchen with my little my mother and my aunt is a little difficult because you know, to recreate those things in a different environment in over the different cooker. but somehow i managed because the desire and the passion was so much i kept doing it. so i love to cook that i practice and perfected it here. for the train lawyer, respect and equality are just as important ingredients in her kitchen as indian

spices. i needed to have a restaurant, you know, where everybody the kitchen was equal just like, you know, when you have, you know, in cooking at home. yes. you know, grandmother has given respect a new mother's given respect and some aunts shout too much and you have to listen to them. but everybody is doing everything. there's no hierarchy. this is not your station, and this is not your job, but this is not your boss. asthma con only hires women, mainly immigrants from south asia who often had trouble finding work. they bring their own experiences with them into the restaurant kitchen. the dishes they make are simple and authentic, like brianna. a classic rice dish, prepared according to cons. family recipe or st. food influenced push gust fried dough balls with a spicy. phillip con uses local ingredients. only the spices are

imported from india. this is in acumen and the acumen seeds. i used a lot of things, but then we roasted and grind it and then it becomes this amazing flavor. it's like it's almost like it's nutty. it's so it's, this is so hard to describe is this earthy beautiful flavor there. the tastes of her childhood con, comes from an aristocratic family from calcutta. 3 decades ago, she left india and moved to the u. k. to combat her home sickness, she began recreating her family's recipes like for peralta and unleavened indian flatbread. my entire childhood is the one thing that you know, you got completely to eat on your own. you never shared with anyone the peralta was yours. so though, but i is, you know, it's, it's something that is always made in houses as a kind of treat on a weekend and out. it's something that, you know,

i still do like it with part of the profits from her restaurant. asthma con helps women in india, the mother of to also support sir kitchen staff, who as women receive little recognition in their home countries con, even advises them privately. for many of them. for many years, they had thought their lives didn't count because they were pretty much ignored and families. you know, they describe all this to be seen by people to be respected that you know, they got some recognition. now they do their, the shafts that everybody recognizes them. they feel powerful way. then every one hearns the same wage including asthma con, herself head. chef asa brought on sings her bosses praises. she always had me out to do these and dad sees seen god is me see behind me all

that day. you have to do these and that always we talk about all these things business and i mean for the women who work here when i, the darjeeling express, is more than just a successful restaurant. like asthma con, they also aim to give their guests some food for thought and i don't want people to get off my table just having eaten food. i want them to leave. having understood, a culture, a cuisine, a religion, an immigrant. that is very important for me as a lawyer, restaurant tour and women's rights activist. con stands up for what she believes in with her traditional recipes and social engagement. she serves up food and good will. ooh. it said that when you went forward a man, you empowered only him, but when you empowered a woman, you empower the whole village. i hope to these stories have shown you that the 21st
