but often clandestine. this endangered women's lives and health, and that's why rights groups say safe abortions all the way forward. in mallory go, northern gonna some women have been speaking to d. w. every woman has the right, she has a right to choose the number of family she wants to have. the time someone would just give bad, then am 3 at the re my. all right, my number will get pregnant as it got the girls that's out and a pregnant. that's once you went back with you that you are pregnant. you want to, i bought there will be calling you a prostitute. i don't will be like, oh this is, i guess that will. but without knowing that consequences behind it, i think they're not respect with us. it's my buddy. i can choose ways to get better than i can choose when you read to my own time. and what these campaign is calling for safe abortion can be defined as the termination of a pregnancy by

a trained provider in sanitary conditions. using modern techniques in nigeria to look at just one example. nearly half of all abortions that women get unsafe. this is partly because terminating a pregnancy is only legal if the mother's life is in danger. d w. a mako koya met to women who are suffering because they couldn't get safe abortions on a put so we have laundry. other crisis shelters, she calls whom she used to leave her uncle. a pastor, he raped her continually. she has had 8 abortions all from one trained providers on may worries about what these unsafe abortions have done to her body. i thought very power, schedule my life as a white, i was scared that maybe this practices like damage my will,

a provider. i was i located to do permission of finances, which i was sorry. i had to have had this way. i'm found in the clinic where i need to ask the question face to face. but most of the time i located on elements into the clinic, to which it told me to take the call when correlated, as i would say, tell him it's and is the one that is taking over my daily routine that those who are in there around people who are upset africa. so way there's no option, even if you don't need to come closer to the center or you can, you could don't have to be face to face with the provider. you can be contacted california and we send them medication. you do everything at your own pace, in your own location where no one will ever even notice that you've ever been to my

folks. all please call me. medication will come with one pill of premonition which is called made it. there will be 4 pills which are called title text and or one pick again with pain killers. then you tell them how to take them medication. i've took them weeks, you advised them to do a pregnancy test. we have lost a lot of women because of this back to abortion. so as might have subs came in each is also i just had a lot of way where it has given women a chance or an option to decide what they want. we have seen much improvement in much this has been happening to the portion of what the writer decided on their bodies and women of what the right to decide what is good for them. and as i was logan, we don't have babies by 10. so we need to have babies by choice. so we're trying to cut of that as stigma, abortions. i also have my family members who would take me as they call me names of

good friends who think though and never do sides. why am i doing bed? we've got people who come with black eyed showing how we killing babies and all that, but that it's no dad, dad, dad, reason why we are doing it. we not that too. i don't feel like i'm killing anyone. i don't feel like i'm put commenting and he came to me. i'm assisting someone who was in need of a service, abortion. it's a need in our community. abortion is a need. there is no one who can be raising a child's just because it would no option just because they're afraid of the stigma . so i know everyone to do what they want. and we thought people like, i don't have a lot of support. i to discuss more on safe abortions. i'm joined by when you kick way or willoughby. she's a physician and an eternal health researcher based in new jersey. the u. s. welcome to d, doubly news africa. now what are the key things,

factors that make abortion so risky and african countries thank you for having me. at the macro level, the primary drive of risky abortions as a restrictive abortion laws in many countries in sub saharan africa. more than 3 quarters of women leaving this context and these laws ultimately determine health policy. the funding and the health infrastructure available around abortions. the 2nd main thing in the societal stigma around abortion and unintended pregnancy, particularly outside of marriage. this affects how we may not able to manage their reproductive desires and not being safe care to design a portion. so does that mean that changing the laws could make abortions safer for african women? i do think so. i think ultimately to make abortion unsafe, awful, african men, we do need to get government to change laws and policies in country. however, that said,

changing laws is insufficient. primarily because of the stigma associated with abortion, that the societal level i'm so i, in addition to law change, governments need to make sure that they're actively delivering interventions on programs to enlighten provide as on the community on access to safe abortion. and when the law is changed, and i think that the 2nd important thing is to make sure that the health system is actually able to deliver the services does include training, is sufficient amount of staff task sharing among different kate as of provide as and making sure that the equipment and infrastructure you need to help access safe about child care, particularly medication abortion, which is new and very helpful for in many women. his existence in health services and at the community level. and have you seen any changes, ugh, across the continent. yes, like we spoke about earlier, there are some really interesting changes on the legal front. a couple of countries have liberalized laws recently be mean sell to me on principle going on library and

work. some countries haven't specifically libra like the lot, but the headaches fund that helps them policies. like if you and gonna, where we've been able to access care health facilities, we trade into breaking outside of policy space. there's also been a growing body of work by n, g o c, s, hills and activists to increase access to medication abortion, which women can take by themselves if we at home and talking about stigma as the religious angle. we have touched on many africans whether a christian muslim say, abortion is against that religion. now, what's your response to that? well, for disclosure, i am christina, my face is a cold butterfly. i am and i am not going to attempt to speak for christ then. but for myself, i broad need to be if you can't legislate morality, i think script jesse this. i also think that we cannot create noise and govern insistence based on what we feel or what we believe because we all believe

different. thanks bible does he give on to see what the season god, what his god, abortion is health care and medical science has advanced dramatically to make it before we move on to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. so by restrict an abortion, basically what we're doing contravenes decreased face because we're trying to punish, remain for having on intended pregnancies. and we're condemning them to die by exposing them to the risk of unsafe abortion. so i don't think that if anyone has a religion that follows a quote of love or believes in a 2nd chance, we should be making up portions restricted that was on a tech way. or will i be a physician and maternal health researcher? ah, you're watching the dublin news africa still to come? now yes, a cookie talks, music and politics and tells me why his happy for the young generation of nigerian

musicians conquering the international charts. and in ghana we meet a group of young people brightening the lives of elderly villages. but 1st, the trial of one of the alleged masterminds of rwanda is 1994 genocide has opened in the hague. judges at the un tribunal decided to proceed with the trial of feliciano kaba. despite his decision to boycott it from jail. the former business man is accused of financing and facilitating the mass murders of some 800000 people . he was captured in france 2 years ago after decades on the run on x report takes a look at the a lead role to book a played and the slaughter of rwanda as tootsie minority. a warning that this report contains, graphic, images, broadcasts that lead to deadly bloodshed. her,

i mean one, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. in 1994, rwanda messages like these were used to turn people against each other. they resulted in heinous acts of violence, and the genocide that lasted just over a 100 days violence erupted after the plane carrying president juvenile happy, or amana was shot down. who to extremists blamed the tootsie minority for the attack and went after them. an estimated 800000 people were killed with clubs and machetes. millions fled to neighboring countries. businessman feliciano kabuki is regarded as one of the masterminds behind the killings. he was among the founders and finances of

r t l m. the radio station that was used to dehumanize people and broadcast their locations. it wouldn't have happened on every, on every hill and were won. it wouldn't happen in every commune. it was under the control of the, of who to extreme us government. were it not for the sort of messages delivered, arching land, continued to justify the attack on neighbors in the early 2, thousands, steven rappe led the prosecution in what became known as the media trial, which included the r t e l m. radio station kabuki had managed to evade justice for years. his money and connections keeping him safe. but in 2020 the hunt was over. kabuki was arrested in a paris suburb. he had been living there for years under a false identity. felicity and kabuki is now facing trial in the hague, in an international court, responsible for a wandered war crimes which was set up by the un more than 6000

kilometers away in the round and capital kigali. people will be following the proceedings closely. the country has moved on since the mid ninety's, but almost 3 decades later, the collective trauma still runs deep. quick jim did a unity quote. me itchy, you've seen curb and court is a great thing for us. the survivors of the genocide work with it and it is something that so does our hearts better and then it encourages us and gives us the conviction that those who committed the genocide level and are hiding in different countries a one day they will face justice, yucca we chose that they will follow kabul were to be tried. natca natasha kabuki is one of the last top wanted suspects for the rwandan genocide to be put on trial . he said to be in fragile health and victims of the genocide say they're hoping for things to move quickly. so he doesn't die before facing justice.

ah. in many parts of africa, rural areas are mostly populated by old people. there left behind when the young had for urban centers in search of a better life, or sometimes the all simply outlive their children. this often leaves the elderly fending for themselves, but in gonna, a project is changing this as d w's. maxwell, soup reports from the north east and boom would go up under each district. shared mass of laughter manifest due to con, get leaves. the lawn in her house in garners north east. her children have died. the government doesn't of a care to hey, but in 97 year old still has people to lean on. tongues to your project, lincoln young people to lonely l. this don't go well, i'm a dell. my then i'm, when i'm a line,

the volunteers from unit tuner, i'm making her life better and still on the link between generations. the award winning nigerian musician fan equity is carried on the legacy of his father, the legendary, afro b pioneer fella equity, and is now passing the baton to his own children. the music has a heavy emphasis on political corruption, poverty and injustice. them equity is currently touring europe. i caught up with him ahead of his performance here in berlin and asked why this activism is so prominent in his music. i guess this little girl with, for me, i don't find the love story that is more important than the poverty outside my house. i feel i feel em quite stupid singing about my personal love story. when i opened my get on,

i just see things not working. they are more towards and i think i think her, my love stories for me are more private and confidential. i would love to probably sing about more beautiful things in the wall was was lose the war in ukraine or cold war sl, mario sudan. when i read the news this i had breaking things that i wish i had a magic wand. one to jose changed that situation. and the only one that i have this to talk about it, which is i'm not just talking to the audience. my music is not just talking to the audience. i talked to myself as well. i tried to teach myself this teachings as well. so when i sing i i do kitchen myself as well. is that something you'd want to see more in it? generally in the, in the scene? i don't want to see anything. i do. i my, my business. probably of all of those did that it would be boring. so i don't,

i can't criticize what art is too big topic to criticize anybody. i major either is in a difficult place at the moment old is really difficult in a difficult place at the moment. but when we look at the music scene at the moment, my june music has gotten such great recognition on the mainstream. when you look at that what, what, what are you reflections? i have no, i'm just happy. i'm happy that young boys and girls are doing well. i wish you always remember. you must kayla which always remember my remarkable people opened the door for people like me. africa, not as i've been in europe for wooten african hot for ages. so it didn't just start now. so somebody had been banging on that door, listen to us,

you have to listen to our music. our music is good. and so, and then we should remember, we have a very large community in europe in america now, who are very patriotic or nickels causes this musical cultural. so then, universities, they are doctors or lawyers here engineers. and they tell their european or american friends listen to our music. so we have to thank those people as well who are promoting this for more than us here. and so it's not just the music just came out of new angels. they did big it so much groundwork is going on making sure this music is heard. oh, do you see it's kind of clash between what's happening in the art scene, the music scene versus the state of the country. nature of the state of many

african countries. no, i think is good and probably it's a good energy. it's not negative. it's a good energy. and i'm not a critic. you can't criticize all people for trying to make a to make something out of their lives. or if they were, bandits will completely do. our drug pushers will complain. they are making and they live in good living. they are making people happy people at dances, they are feeling halls so we should be happy. now that being said, i don't think they are not concerned about what is going on. i think i know a lot of them. they probably don't sing about it, but i know they are concerned that i don't think there's any african that is not concerned about what is going on back home. i'm in our own little wee. maybe it's not enough, but i know in our little ways we're all trying our best to hope things

change or make things change or that's it for d w, news africa will leave you with some more from family cookies. con said bye for now . ah, [000:00:00;00] with ah,
