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 baths worldwide, many have to drop out of school or give up their jobs close to 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, adolescence worldwide 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 off in the morning. said mcfadden a no little country with whom annie layla shares this room with her full siblings and her grandmother. during south africa's month, 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 colorado. lydia, when i found out that layla was pregnant, but normally that they did it and money was i was very worried at the company was

good. luckily 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 e b. now what was i told him, donnelly, that once the baby was born, i asked again, don't you see what was done on my you could a baby needs both parents or your number by legal. we're not womans in i is the father, a friend, a neighbor all was layla raped. she refused to say reluctant to burden her grandmother even further. they could be able, by the mac, was none, like, yeah, well it was difficult. abilene and i was scared to leave him with my grandmother because she's getting older. one goes to luckily, it's better now. he's growing and getting used to other people. layla isn't the only young woman at her 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 co videos. obviously,

they were tracked in their homes. this protective school wasn't unavailable, many homes last year. they are breadwinners or to the disease or, or for cogent and many homes last employment because many companies had to close down as director of the african childrens feeding scheme. that's m a ga gay, 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 felt like killing myself was the only solution for but then

since i've ever since i came here a no longer feel the same. like i said, i feel a sudden strong. i don't feel like before. and now i trust in my cell. 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, in, you know, in society, their children. i like you to repeat what be of gone roof, because they are also now born into this structural poverty. the pandemic hit the poorest sections of society. hardest. layla gets

baby food from a welfare 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 so for now 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 and other 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 cooler by then i'll have learned so much in moving figure laudermill informed. there later is a determined young woman. her 1st priority is to finish school. the resin, lana is 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. 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, as also the issue of sustainability. ready mm. ready back come back out of great. you'll know if tampon, menstrual products are such a big secret way men don't skip those periods, confirm all of us and the environment. and because we hardly ever talk about it, this is what happened. billions of pads and tampons,

and 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 thump. 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 lot, i'm all the modern was. let's start with the menstrual come, 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 actually was surprising in little about how women desert them, monthly visitor to 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 curse. most women though use what was locally available to them like old cloth, or even dried plants and millions. and sometimes even mud, i can't imagine how uncomfortable there 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 were 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 tanf ones 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 time 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. pads are still, you was more than any other product. they have the greatest environmental impact as well. but more on that later, the old damp fonts and cups were being quick, the 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 bigger 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 to sanitize 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. 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 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 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 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. thanks to 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 was applied 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. gender scholars supply, that icky. 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 minister hygiene. 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 lead, then 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 cause super robin polymers that swell with blood, that easy to use and throw 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 altogether to the absorbing core. and often the string is made of plastic as well. they do contain less plastic than pads. overall tampon can also be on cannick, which means the 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 pan, some recently become more popular in the west. they have 2 layers and external

resistant, one of plastic on 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 cups can replace up to $10000.00 single use products. just stigmatizing maturation and making it normal. this, 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 for inflammation to lead to the b enforcement on the sigma. and shame around 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. oh ah 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 our next report from the west bank. the aim to bring a little joy to people's lives. morning and ramana. this van is so new, the seats are still covered in plastic. it's a mobile recording the 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 the i is 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 ala, they often have to factor in long d to his saw these here are all walls between neighbors, neighbors who could no longer see or meet each other without permission to dog foster for something 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 and a bada there 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 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 abroad 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 we've got. we also publish a non we all time. everything in the menagerie for 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 ebay, one to record they pump freestyle music back to 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 culture those days that it can go anyway. just going places is one of the big issues for young palestinians. i left the though i am now on a been sir, and 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 lithium male dominated society, especially as women about and i these the beast to, to do whatever you want without anybody stub you and deal. you can't do anything all the time. the commission step 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 the others have it's, we want to work with the artists because we know that moving around in the palestinian territories is very arduous egan, i, 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
