his words, is not susceptible to unity. raise your hand if you think anyone was going to be able to unify afghanistan under one single government. it's been the graveyard of empires for solid reason. it is not susceptible to unity. there is no way to get out of afghanistan after 20 years, easily and it hasn't been easy for off guns either since the thought of bon take over frozen assets and a cut in international aid have pushed the economy to the brink of collapse. plunging millions of people into poverty and despite thought about promises to the contrary, the rights of women and golden of god, his son have been increasingly eroded. recently and cobbled religious police put up posters, ordering women to cover up. here to treat according to sharia law,

most of them women must wear the he job that from the newly reinstated ministry for the propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice. that has led to a series of protest by women over the past few weeks and days, demanding british equality and the right to work and education women at this protest over the weekend in kabul pepper sprayed by part about fighters. there are also reports to women at this protest were liter, arrested by the taliban. it's a situation that hasn't gone unnoticed. rights group, civil society organizations, and journalists have regularly reported on what have gone to sons, women and girls are having to face. recently, even the un secretary general's stepped in to highlight the situation across afghanistan, women and girls are missing from offices in classrooms. a generation of girls, you see it, soaps in dreams, shepherds, women, scientists, lawyers,

and teachers are locked out, wasting skills and talents that will benefit the entire country. and indeed the world. no country can thrive while denying the rights of all of its population. denying women and girls their rights. unfortunately, bins on social restrictions already in place before the thought bonds rise to power . some girls, however, managed to circumvent the rules by living as boy is a practice known as boucher bush. the mother of 7 year old son on his dressing her daughter to make her look like a typical boy, se, but san m doesn't only look like most boys in afghanistan. she's also leading the life of a boy doing many things. girls are not allowed to do such as getting an education phantoms. mother explains what outsiders could seem like an unusual decision. i

ever read the drama girl living as a boy or boucher push is not common in our atkins society. but we had to do this because of poverty and elijah, we don't have a son to work for us. and her father doesn't have any one to help him. so i consider her as my son beside him until she becomes a teenager. but oh it is. i thought, yellowish as a girls, anna would not be allowed to stand next to her father on the street like this. but as a boy called, oh, made, she can help him make money for the family. she's also able to take part in of activities, usually reserved for boys, especially now that the taliban is laying down the law hasn't em at least for now. the sky is the limit. me go in, i would like to become a doctor or a commander or a soldier or i'll work with my father yoke at fidel finally.

but sometimes dreams are unlikely to come true. if the fate of all the females who have lived as boys is anything to go by this woman said, having to change back to living as a female when she reached puberty, was devastating. oh, i remember them being a boys very good in this situation. in afghanistan, boys a more valuable there's no oppression for them, no limits. but being a girl is different and i mean, they force to get married at a young age. and people say that the, she's too much of a teenager to go out of the house at home and for people to see her face. that one, somebody of the on when i was just research is the just being forced to live the different sex can also be psychologically damaging later in life. but sam's family see this as a matter of survival. and as such, one with no alternative the options are rapidly narrowing for another group of, of guns. its minority seek population in the seventy's, the numbers around

a 100000. last year that figure stood and just 240 discrimination and the threat of violent attacks from the hardest groups have forced many to leave and others to consider doing so. oh wow. at this seek temple in cobble, little more than a dozen people attending the regular prayers to day men and women stand on separate sides as they listened to a recitation from the guru grunt saw hip, the seat holy book. it so revered, 2 of the temples, 3 copies had been sent to delhi for protection. the same reason why many african seeks are now choosing to leave the pool is a heartless girl. everybody likes their country. we are afghans. allah, afghanistan is our country. it's our homeland, but we're leaving out of sheer hopelessness. slower. the little girl girl, commercial ritual,

non decades of conflict and poverty have driven out most of afghanistan seeks. but a tale bonds take over has prompted even more to leave. its thought only about a 100 remain. they hold out to say when the temple was built it 60 years ago, it was full of worshippers. dog shook juice megan, whatever joy or sorrow we felt, we shared it here. first, the seek temple was built. what then these buildings around it? what do you have them built this school for sick children? amy, you people i studied here to ha, all this garden that you see here. children used to play here, but to kill 30. to day the school has turned to a sanctuary for families like this. the targets of religious attacks by militant groups such as i as key seeks have long endued discrimination in muslim majority, afghan has done. but since the taliban took power,

the remaining few may also be forced to flee. that would mean abandoning their spiritual home. but like many seeks before them, they see no other choice. ah. a change of theme now to look at some traditional art forms in the region that i get in a new leaves of life. we begin in indonesia where, but it has been practice for centuries, especially on the island of java. traditionally, body makers used natural dies, but in recent decades most relied on synthetic chemical coloring. but now the need to be eco friendly, has many artists rediscovering the old ways. this is an art form that has a long history in indonesia. boutique is a decoration of cloth using wax and dye. often the dies are made from chemicals that are toxic, but batik maker. so deacon has found

a different way of producing the colors using mangrove fruits that he picks up in the forest by one allen with both ambien. we use natural materials so as to preserve the mangrove forest at the same time, when we do not cut down the trees, we only take fruit so leaves that have fallen from its trees. in order to save the mangrove back about it, thought apartment glamour than natural sources, such as fruit skins, tree bark, while leaves were used to make the dies for centuries. it was only later that manufacturers started using chemicals. but using mangrove fruit has allowed. so deacon, not just to protect the environment, but also to make more money by tapping into a new trend. when we love or what we've seen, the interest for natural dies increasingly. and especially for middle to upper

class people, alamba unbelievable. they seem to be proud to wear clothes using these natural dies baker, rather than synthetic dyes, garza godaddy. me. sellers confirm that fabrics with natural dies, often fetched double, or even triple the price of those made with synthetic colors. that's because while they may not be as bright, they're considered to be of a higher quality as they are more durable. meaning they're likely to be around for years to come. the tie, dance known as nora has its roots in india, but has been practiced in thailand's muslim majority south. for centuries, the performance is combined, dancing, singing, and storytelling. recently the art form was granted. unesco headed to the status ah, for centuries dancers in southern thailand have been performing nora. it's an arc
