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 their jobs. plus at this age, their increased health risks for mother and child. but the birth rate among teenagers has been on the decline. in 196086 out of a 1000 adolescents worldwide gave birth. in 2021, it was just how fact number most of these early pregnancies happen in poor areas, like sub saharan africa, where on average, one in 10 teenage girls is

a muzzle. 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 off in the morning. said no flag, a no little uncomfortable with whom annie layla shares this room with her full siblings and her grandmother. during south africa's months, long locked down, they couldn't go out. it was shortly after the restrictions were lifted. that layla got pregnant, just 16 at the time. and olga. a cooler lydia. when i found out that layla was pregnant, one or lead of a did it. and money wasn't, i was very worried that apartment was good. go magdalena. 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. now lucas had told him, donnelly, that once the baby was born, i asked again to go. you see what we've done? um, are you quite a baby needs? both parents, we are number legal, we're not womans 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 numb like, yeah, well it was difficult. abilene and i was scared to leave him with my grandmother because she is getting older cuz silkwood really, it's better now. he is 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 course reduce. obviously,

they were tracked in their homes. this protect to school wasn't unavailable, many homes last year. they are bred to win us to the disease or for corded 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. reg, sometimes i felt like killing myself was the only solution. but then since i have

ever since i came here, i no longer feel the same. like i said, i feel a sudden has thrown i don't like people. 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 a, 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 is an adult in, you know, in society, their children. i like you 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 it's

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 level in july and cell phone. i'm working so hard said that my baby and i have a future that my child's future is in my hands as means and over there 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, my lawyer, a quarter by then i'll have learned so much in losing c. allow for 1000000 food. there. laina is a determined young woman. her 1st priority is to finish school v as in lang, i'm a big 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. ready period poverty describes a lack of access to suitable hygiene products, which is a common global issue that women face. ready scotland was the 1st country in the world 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 is also the issue of sustainability. mm. ready airbag compact, great, you'll know if tampon, menstrual products are such a big secret way men don't skip those 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 i 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 activated available lot. i'm all 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, you know, surprising in little about how women go give them monthly 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 used what was locally available to them like old clock or even dried plants and millions and sometimes even mud. i can't imagine how uncomfortable and must have been not to mention impractical. around the time the light bug was invented, the 1st ideas for the modern cup were born around 200 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 is 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 insulting things into their bodies. some feared that they would even lose their virginity. this haven't changed much pads are still used more than any other product. they have the greatest environmental impact as well. but more on that later, the old tampons and cups were being quickly out completed by the mid 20th century. and 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 mental cups. but it just wasn't an economic imperative during world war 2 rubber was

supposed to go toward tires and things that soldiers needed. not women's bodies. the cup had a big disadvantage. the way it works is that when you have your peter, you insert it and then remove it in 6 to 12 hours. the empty and clean the sanitized correctly. one cup 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 market. it wasn't that women didn't want the products . 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 cup re launched with a new environmental agenda, silicone replaced rubber. it's our most readable, tough ever. but, but pad and tampon may cause had that clause in do deep lots in fluid 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 had come into contact with the seemingly shameful menstrual blood bodies have a lot of like things that we excrete, right? whether it's your whack, sir, you know, boeing or knows whatever, but we don't judge at 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. where menstruating women austin, seen as impure. it was not manufacturers who in mid 19 eighties realized that l m. i. c. 's, 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 to gender. scholars supply that again, 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 power, 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 ministry hiking. so i 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 machinery of pad manufacturers. distributing single use 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 bud. 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 bads, most likely end up in the great outdoors. over an average of 40 years of menstruation people spend up to $5000.00 on pads.

next up is the tampon, those width applicators have an extra layer of largely single use plastic, but as long just the applicator, the tam 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 over on tampons can also be organic, which means they're only made of copper, which is better. much recycling them on disposing of them is very difficult. people can spend around $2000.00 on tampons. over a lifetime. barrier pans 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 damp bones both cycle. that's about $250.00 a year. and over a lifetime just full cups can replace up to 10000 single used products. just even the stigmatizing maturation and making it warmer is having it be a regular part of conversation is a different way of

b. and i think that can be radical in its own way, relying on companies for information to lead, to libby 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 that are better in 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 and 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 rochester who wouldn't otherwise have the chance to do so in the desert. i am, i can already see the join that i assume from ramallah 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 ala, they often have to factor in long d to his saw these here are all bulls between neighbors, neighbors who could no longer see or meet each other without permission to daughter the faucet for something to day, it's 40 calamities 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 bus. 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 the 1st take with lyrics on his phone. i'll come to you sings qusai 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 daughter are excited about that. so we'll move sure. of course they get a copy of the new truck, they can release it online, go products and see. we also publish a non, we all type everything in the menagerie board. 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 others might laugh. a law 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 back, the to palestinian women already have experienced performing in front of an audience. i love the city of, i've been in it before. and it's just a very nice postables days that it can go anywhere. just going places is one of the big issues for young palestinians. i left the though i am now on a concern. these are so the media, so just parts of the occupation and i feel like there's more to that. there's more to that struggle, as well as living in a, let's say,

a male dominated the society, especially as women about and i, these the beast to, to do whatever you want without anybody stub you. and did you, you can't do anything all the time that commissions that fuel was, 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 ramona says, catalina high, the security situation in the west bank often makes it difficult to avoid yet 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, they sing then it's back to ramallah, passed military checkpoints. still the recording bus will go out again. tomorrow.
