waste hygiene products, but eco friendly periods. and when a mother is little more than a child herself, every year, more than 12000000 adolescence between the ages of 15 and 19 give birth about accounts for 9 percent of all births worldwide. many have to drop out of school or give up that jobs close at this age, the rate increased health risks for mother and child but the birth rate among teenagers has been on the decline. in 196086 out of a 1000 adolescent swelled white, gave birth in 2021. it was just half that number. most of these early pregnancies happen in poor areas, like sub saharan africa, where on average, one in 10 teenage girls becomes a mother. the corona virus pandemic has exacerbated the problem of early and

unwanted pregnancies, as shown in our next report from south africa. hello. before she can go to school, layla has to take care of her baby. she's just 17. she wants to look after him herself, but doesn't want to sacrifice her education. and it hurts when she heads up in the morning. said no flooded a no little country. with whom i knew. layla shares this room with her full siblings and her grandmother. during south africa is months long locked down, they couldn't go out. it was shortly after the restrictions were lifted that lay la got pregnant. just 16 at the time. and olga colorado. lydia, when i found out that layla was pregnant, one or lee that they did it and man and was i was very worried that apartment was good. oh my god leila job. i kept asking her who the father was where's the baby's

father? i leave, but she just looked at me with a shocked expression. he b. nagasaki told him donnelly, that once the baby was born, i asked again to go. you see what was done on my you a baby needs. both parents or your number by legal will not woman's in i is the father a friend, a neighbor or was layla raped. she refused to say reluctant to burden her grandmother even further. they could be able boncey mac was none. like, yeah, well it was difficult. abilene and i was scared to leave him with my grandmother because she is getting older one, cuz luckily it's better now he's growing and getting used to other people. layla isn't the only young woman at his school to have a baby in south africa. one of the less publicized consequences of the pandemic was a 60 percent jump and teenage pregnancies. during the core videos, obviously, they were tracked in their homes. the spread take to school wasn't unavailable,

many homes last year. they a bridge to win us to the disease or offer corded am mania homes last employment because many companies had to close down as director of the african childrens feeding scheme, bats m. a goga knew that she had to respond with the organization. cook's meals for children from deprived families. this is a new group of 15 goals, aged between 12 and 18. all of them young mothers. many of them got pregnant when an older man offered them. food then demanded something in return right here they get practical advice as well as training in boosting their self confidence and learning how to make the right decisions. i have that you gave me please. can i ask them to was or to repeat the question? i was so angry with what me self like sometimes i feel like killing myself was the only solution solution. but then since i have ever since i came here,

i no longer feel does seem like i said, i feel a sudden still i don't like before. and now i trusted myself to research shows as that teenage girls will become pregnant, are much less likely to become gainfully employed in their future. and so when you think about it, that are, you know, cycle is, is, is easy to repeat itself because the girl doesn't finish school. they don't become, you know, well, established as an adult in society. their children are likely to repeat what they've gone through, because they are also now born into this structural poverty. the pandemic hit the poorest sections of society hardest lay like its baby food from a wealthy organization. she and her siblings are being raised by their grandmother,

who does everything in her power to ensure they go to school. getting an education is the only chance they have of escaping poverty. when a villain, july and cellphone, i'm working so hard so that my baby and i have a future that my child's future is in my hands as means now there's so much i can learn. indeed, i don't know how long my education will last, but i'll keep studying until they call me dr. layla, by roy, in a corner by then i'll have learned so much in figure laudermill informed. laina is a determined young woman, is her 1st prize. he is to finish school v as in love with the. yeah. but she wants to defy the statistics who they show that very few girls who become teen

mothers, go on to complete their high school education. who menstruation can be expensive. period poverty describes a lack of access to suitable hygiene products, which is a common global issue that women face. scotland was the 1st country in the well to provide tampons and pads to the public free of charge. ready ready products in canada, kenya and india and several other countries are sold tax free. but along with the debate on costs, there's also the issue of sustainability. ready ready ready back come back out of greet. you'll know if tampon, menstrual products are such a big secret. white men don't skip this periods, concern all of us and the environment. and because we hardly ever talk about it, this is what has happened. billions of pads and tampons. end up in the environment each year,

some of which are made almost entirely of plastic. big companies continue to profit off our silence. the good news is we have solutions that are more eco friendly, antique, but hardly anybody is using them. chances are you haven't even heard of fund. so why is the solution to such a big problem still, so unknown menstrual products are more than just girly things. we don't talk about placing them in the center afternoon, available a lot about the modern was. 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. if you were to know that that's not on you, we are, we know surprising in little about how women does your been one to visitor history . what we do know is that no society has ever really viewed menstruation very positively hacky. of course i can't go swimming, you know,

i've got the courage. most women though use what was locally available to them, like all clocks or even dried plants and millions and sometimes even mud. i can't imagine how uncomfortable and must have been knocked dimension impractical . around the time the light bug was invented. the 1st ideas for the modern cup were born around $200.00 people. 5 patents for similar blood 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. and they were a hit for the 1st time women were able to walk and swim alongside men at any time of the month. yeah, i mean it, it, it is liberating in a very sort of physical way shove, australia has written 2 books on menstruation through the age of. she says though,

that even with such inventions, i was only the rich western people who had access and period poverty. it's still a huge problem worldwide. the bad became the elite stop choice at the dime seen as the thief 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. this haven't changed much bads are still used more than any other product. they have the greatest environmental impact as well. but more on that later, the old dom fonts and cups were being quickly out completed by the mid 20th century . especially during world war 2. never quite got off the ground and partly that was due to a rubber shortage and rashes put on rubber. so the idea of using rubber for menstrual cups. but it just wasn't an economic imperative. during world war 2,

rubber was supposed to go towards the tires and things that soldiers needed. not women's bodies. the cup had a bigger disadvantage. the way it works is that when you have your peter, you inserted and then remove it in 6 to 12 hours. the empty and clean to sanitize correctly, one copy can be used for up to 10 years. that sustainable, but it means that far fewer cups are sold. the 1st company to sell mass produced cub soon went out of business. wow. it wasn't that women didn't want the product and when they closed their these letters back to them saying, i can, i get, you know, 10 cops. i need my cup. so while a cup got elbowed out, pads got 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 the early 2 thousands the cop re launched with a new environmental agenda. silicone replaced rubber. it's our most readable, ever in the book, but, but fad and tampon makers had that clause in too deep. lots in lieu it better. so your and the image of period had been slow sanitized, but it was hard to imagine touching painting and re using something that has come into contact with the seemingly shameful menstrual blood bodies have a lot of like things that we excrete, right? whether it's your wac, sir, you know, boeing or nose, whatever, but we don't judge it the same way. you're just not going to lose like social standing because of your iraq's, you know. but if you are leaking places are not managing your period,

the way whatever social mores are for it, then there are, there is retribution about that ah tanks of the shame and advertising county is tons of sanitary products on out 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. but menstruating women austin, seen as impure it misapplied manufacturers, who in mid 19 eighties realized that 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 income countries. gender scholars surprise that it. but the says that about 80 percent of people who menstruate in india have no access to financially product for the market is very attractive. the government

is working to improve access as well and promotes unsustainable bad, which now nearly overwhelmed the market. i think the intention was good, right? the intention was truly to support the men from low income households, manage their meds through hygiene, who had decided to do the easy thing and to free right on an existing knowledge on existing competence. and on free riding on the advertising, marketing, missionary of bad manufacturers. distributing single used pads is like giving some on plastic or paper plates for regular meals instead of a dinner plate. using public money, transporting them around the country, using resources, paying for labor and filling up dumps with plastic and toxins. within these products,

the singular narrative around sanitary pads can be broken. the important point is give the men the choice, let them decide what is right for them. so let's take a look at our options then that the for based on budget accessibility and their effect on the environment. first up, the famous sanitary bad, and it's the most easily accessible around the world. and the most difficult to get rid of the bad can be up to 90 percent lasting from the permeable surface to look called super robin polymers. that swell with blood that easy to use and threw away, but with inadequate waste disposal systems around the world, dad's most likely end up in the great outdoors. over an average of 40 years of menstruation, people spend up to $5000.00 on pads, and next up is the tampon. those width applicators have an

extra layer of largely single use plastic, but as long just the applicator, the damp one itself is made of several layers of plastic. from the layer that holds it all together. to the absorb and corp. and often the string is made of plastic as well. they do contain less plastic than pads. overall tampon can also be organic, which means they're only made of copper, which is better. much recycling them on disposing of them. it's very difficult. people can spend around $2000.00 on tampons over a lifetime. barrier fans have 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. they can be one for up to 2 years, but as with any other usable washing them takes time and effort. 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. reusable can cost more up front, which is a big problem for people without disposable income, but add up to a fraction over a lifetime. environmentally speaking, one cup can replace around 20 single used pads or tampons? both cycle. that's about $250.00 a year. and over a lifetime, just for cops can replace up to $10000.00 single use products, just stigmatizing maturation and making it warmer is having it be a regular part of conversation is a different way of being. and i think that can be radical in its own way. relying

on companies will inflammation to lead to the b enforcement on the sigma and shame along periods and pollution. so why we need now in less him and more awareness and access the choices, but are better on the pocket and the environment. mm . tara, under tax. the relationship between israel and the palestinian territories is still extremely tense. peace negotiations are at a stalemate. still, there were projects like the one in on next report from the west bank. the aim to bring a little joy to people's lives. i morning and romana this van is so new. the seats are still covered in plastic. it's a mobile recording studio, and i will use it to visit and record palestinian musicians hip hop folklore pop

out here. today we're going to jericho. she was, we want to record to rob as the who wouldn't otherwise have the chance to do so in the desert. i can already see the join the i us a little from ramana to jericho. right across the west bank. it's not a normal road trip because of his railey military checkpoints, and numerous barriers simply driving around is not that easy for palestinians, says allah, they often have to factor in long d 2 is saw for these. here are all walls between neighbors. neighbors who could no longer see or meet each other without permission to thought i have a false pos on been room today, it's 40 kilometers into the desert, to jericho. their to 17 year olds are waiting. who are new to the music business qusai under bada they are impressed with a bustle up until now they've only recorded songs with their mobile phones. and my music's about everything that happens here. we criticize

a lot of things that happen in everyday life. haney and is the 1st take with lyrics on his phone and i'll come to you since because i over and over until our law is satisfied and the year after just a few clicks, it sounds like this right side, hip hop cosign and the thought are excited about us as well moves rule, of course they get a copy of the new truck, they can release it online, go products, which we call. we also publish a non we all time everything nominated for it. then the next recording is at a bedouin camp in the desert. we are only allowed to accompany this veteran man on the bus after much persuasion. he doesn't want to be recognized. it is his 1st time in front of the microphone and he's afraid of his might laugh. a la reassures him that everyone will be impressed when they hear it.

again the bus stop. so fin, ramona, it's goal to day. a quiet place outside the city, dinner and about one to record. they pump freestyle music bag, the to palestinian women already have experience comfortable. space that it can go anywhere. i'm just going places is one of the big issues for young palestinians. i. 2 late fee though i am now on urban sir, and these are so the media shows just parts of the occupation. and i feel like there's more to that. there's more to the struggle, as well as living in a, let's say a male dominated the site, especially as women about and i, these, the beasts do to do whatever you want without anybody stub you. and did you,

you can do anything on that. i am the commission instead fuel, as i say, to step killed the e u, and the good to institute provided grants for the project. it is organized directly from an office in ramana says, catalina high. the security situation in the west bank often makes it difficult to avoid yet as how we want to work with the artists. because we know that moving around in the palestinian territories is very arduous egan. oh, i don't know. i'm taught in the loop facing then it's back to ramallah, passed military checkpoints. still the recording bus will go out again tomorrow.
