the book here in the village of be before the help become commonplace. today, more than a 100 women assembled to discuss the issue of female to decide basic songs and re psych point 3 in praise of female children. to stand up from the crowd to share their personal stories. sonya have done to deal with the female counsel member though she's the oldest of the goods. they will be just those few old and was never had so many when we thought of mother was pressured by the family on adult bought the 2nd c mutari the how do we do? is he shame on her? but given both to, to goes, sonya 6 inspiration from them. otherwise i know need some air in this campaign. across putty, on a got a page, the women used to be a female see to says using traditional methods with the help of elder women. and if that didn't work, they would go to the doctors. this was happening
3:19 pm
a loss until we decided to run this campaign against the practice. now it is finally come to an end here. okay, is it going not a bundle? we have, the state of deanna was once known, but having the highest number of female decides, going to really significantly to india, 46000000, missing females or the last 50 years. but the people village now stands out as an inspiration to have the blazing india. here no more female 50 says that bought it in the village center. the show who kind of problem used to the breaking the book a be be good. this thing and hand out sweets x that would ones only associated with the both of the boy literally. so did the, the mindset of the people is changing. now that girls have achieved so much into taking pass in every activity. people have started to see things differently. this is lead to a decline and female seat aside for jetta. and i thought that would be there
3:20 pm
outside the people village, the preference plus signs, so exists in many parts of the state. so need job alon was the former village had before she'd have found the female counsel dear. and now works as an active us in the fight to stop female for decide today. so let me, let me just deem of visiting this house and then the age you up next advanced, they meet these elderly men to talk about the continuum preference, pardon me, to children some say, but even with the biggest, instead i faces from people with a deep deep debt to the mindset, who believed that the family lenient on need on su sundays. we are able to persuade some of them that these views are outdated, but many can not be come into mind making the, at the coffee, get all it back at the council. going into the domain to raise of you in this to come to few minutes to decide what they have managed to in one village. the aiming
3:21 pm
to do and many more. but it will not be easy fight in the face of such and trench mindsets and from long distance talk to a nearby energy and activists from the in 0 saltisha jones from the australian capital camera. and i know you're also from the state of how do you all know where my colleagues for reporting from? i mean, how have active is to being able to convince man in a deeply patriarchal society to allow goes to be bone or ice. i would say it's extremely difficult as i come from here. i know i've seen that the sex racial of me uh females to meals has been around. it could be a few months to $1000.00 meals. and now it's improving. it's around $900.00 or $920.00, but i want to majorly focused on the fact that there is an attitude among
3:22 pm
males and unfortunately also in a lot of females. that means a better boy's a preferred voice out of blessing, which i understand from my experience and working at the grassroots level that it is embedded in the culture. it comes from all kinds of norms, religion, and the society overall. so it's been a very difficult task to bring about a mindset change and bring about events and education related to the fema for decide and how it is a scene that a crime. so how have some of the injury was being able to do it? i mean, you just mentioned that the sex ratio had improved. how did that improvement? however marginal, it may seem how did that come about to um, i would see um, definitely because of the microscopic uh crossroads. never change. uh, there are a lot of and us if i talk about my own, i and my sister withdrawn and josiah and for the last 12 yours be has been
3:23 pm
continuously looking around a few months to decide which began from my own journey. when i was not, you know, both come into society because a lot of people around this society did not want a girl in the family. um from that will be understood that there is a need to work with for people with the local communities and hands of our organization with 401 into us. we have been you know, working for education and the wellness and bulk is the. so i believe that us or the other organizations of was way will have worked with people who have made them understand that how there could be a mindset shift and how they are believing in some kind of minutes. uh, you know, but when they believed in the fall would dynamics of a male and female, how beyond make them understand about his rights, human rights and gender equality?
3:24 pm
i think that has helped bringing about to change and uh, on the overall of the macro 11. i believe the policies, whether it's been some initiatives by the government or enforcement of noise, but i think that is huge school of improvement. i don't think we have enough improvement. and hence, me as inactive as i want to dedicate my life to working against treatment for decide on to promote gender, the quality, you know, your doctor about your own experience. and then i think you're referring to the fact that your mother faced the family pressure to a bolt when she was expecting you and that was about to decades back. do you think things are better now? will it continue to improve? if you think they are better to i believe the scope of improvement it is
3:25 pm
going to happen when women take the lead. when i come from the society, that is a lot of control and file were both in the hands of me is it is because it is a bedrock with society, the decision makers, the bread on us, the people who are driving the home. so for our demands of the family, and if we, if the game, our as women, we get educated, we get, you know, jobs and we access the opportunities. we wouldn't not be in the shop. uh, which is a, was just so could that because females are depending on meals for finances, for decisions the, i'm not able to even get out of the families of managers that are toxic or that are, you know, involving to the osmond and domestic widens. so there's a huge, vicious circle that we need to break and i think whether it is working at the local level um, through the engine oil change makers. uh,
3:26 pm
more organization or at the national level. um, as i or my sister, we demanded from the prime minister that we need national commission for go change and we need more policies that you know, are related to health care of them. and i think part at every level is there is a change that is effectiveness of all of those policies. law enforcement, i think only then there would be scope of improvement, but i'm very optimistic and positive that there would be change as so we see now though it does graduate. yeah. very often that i talk to another manager, but this is been an absolute pleasure and i know thanks so much. thank you so much for having the pleasure. the. the hong kong is one of the was last remaining cities to use ben bull scaffolding in modern construction and building the bad scuffle this past and bundle frames several stories high us to a common sites. the nickname spiders. my home phone guys for the,
3:27 pm
for the security in the web like latticework, high above hong kong sidewalks, so called spiders practice. their ancient profession. building scaffolding from bamboo. bamboo has many advantages over metal. it's cheaper, more flexible, and up to 6 times faster to work with. also, scaffold theirs don't need any special equipment. just nerves of steel and nylon ties to bind the poles together. most of the cities construction was built with bamboo scaffolding. even some of its tall is skyscrapers horizontal poles, the code here and vertical ones, chum. the names of thousands of years old can key will, is a trainer at hong kong construction industry council. he worked to construction for almost 30 years. now he's passing on his knowledge to the next generation of
3:28 pm
spiders, to which polls do use, how to tie good knox. and most importantly, how to keep from falling when you're high above the street name and all the pond. hi ma'am. who was a fascinating field to find something that could be built in the most on single places and, and the most beautiful weiss, the day fall. he thought that gone, gone like 10 bu scaffolding is challenging. how do you make them? but if you ask me if it's something worth being proud of, that was my answer is definitely go send on tape at the end. it's definitely worth preserving, pretty certain things like that. so i would, i go comes on later on. but there's a reason most builders outside of hong kong have stopped using van moved, despite its low cost safety. a 2004 study from the cities polytechnic university said workers were more likely to get tired or nervous on bamboo scaffolds. and that middle platforms were much safer. the sonia, hard to work in this field, you have to be brave. you have to have
3:29 pm
a daring hot. you. you also have to be aware of safety because you are working high up in the law. at the end of the day. the spider trainees know they're entering a risky profession. and despite its hazards, bamboo scaffolding looks like it will be a part of hong kong for the foreseeable future. does accept today there's more websites printed tomorrow to buy the eco africa. something really good because this is a and i do have to be used by generations and generations. geothermal energy that is clean and sustainable. the power of the is helping can you meet that goal to become climate neutral by 20 such africa?
