unless i've never been to hell, but that's what it must feel like this a heroism hale. i swear what remains to this, i just want to be free, the, the house on the edge of this a heart of the last shelter start september, 2nd on dw, the diamond queens, how women and didn't even sound keep the peace in that community to death. do you pods fly? tying the notes remains popular in the philippines despite to ban on divorce and taking the lime lights, women and saudi arabia of revelling in you freedoms the,

this is saudi arabia. and so is this wasn't this the country with strict rules about segregating men and women? what concepts was a bit and then public spaces? i've heard and never imagine something like this. what's happened with me? it has, you know, wherever we were a very conservative country and there's a management something dollars looks down on. i think i'm a typical saudi woman in the sense that i am strong time resilient and you can tell me who i am and who i'm not as a how dare you tell me this is so skin. so skin is had the j name. that means sunshine and diamond, that's fine, that's fine. i'll hug around the world. how are you today? good. how are you?

in the sole skin has a day job is a magazine at a time. during the week she works and 3 out the saudi capital. i'm an anxious person, not a i get nervous. so i figure if i can at least get as much done beforehand that i can relax and enjoy and actually go with the flow. so right now i'm just thinking my song thinking, divide that i think like did are with enjoy and this is the office to be performing with tonight still to, to used to work in human resources for a pharmaceutical company. the 7 months ago i referred to my job and i did 5 job writing paper where the family lives in jetta. she moved to re add on her right. just a few years ago this would have been unimaginable women what mr. to live alone, a male relative have to be part of the household. now that works for an audio

visual production company. she also teach at night saudi women performing his d j's. some people hes still find this a bit unusual, but he's in shocking. but that doesn't bother to, she wants to encourage others to follow their dreams. i know, and they are, and it's not about me being a woman, or it's not about me being solid. it's about showing that, you know, that's altitude. and i just want to be a part of the inspiration to let people know that you can do whatever you want. if you feel like a saudi arabia is a kingdom in 2015, solomon been as still as ease was crowned king. and his son mohammed been selling mount o m b s for sold. the prince again like to m b. s, announced the vision 20 sachi project risk home intended to strengthen the economy

. saudi arabia was to become a strategic hub between the middle east and the rest of the well, the line itself more closely with the international community to 7 titles, a cultural shift, including integrating women into the workforce and grunting the more passed new freedoms. but music teachers and policies only existed before vision, 2070, the underground seems very much, was a very intimate. it was in people's house of things kind of are literally hidden because it had to be because if you had speakers and you're drunk, it can be arrested. you know, what are you doing for making the music industry is also posit the vision 20 thought he struck today suddenly now is just, you know, here is more opportunity here is funding his. here's education, because we are as a society, we kind of decided like a government to replace it with the side of that art. in particular is something to be invested in today was still in school when the country began to change. it was

a very fast phase, 2 and 2016. we weren't able to drive. and then 2017. i see my classmates driving themselves to their classes having to see them to you know about for lives . now just a few years later, she's looking forward to her son tonight. and she'll also be paid for it as soon as it opens up so many doors. not just for me to be in the music industry, but for me to discover myself and discover, you know, other communities as i relate to and obviously it's very empower that i can make money out of this. you know, something that i want to tell you. my, my children, my grandchildren, with all these new freedoms accessible to old style, the women officially women, the no longer falls to a head scarf space coverings, all the loan right now is the highest. the female employment rate has doubled. a

many rules concerning male guardianship has been eliminated. and yet the reforms that contradictory people who raise the voice to them on equal rights to women are liable to be locked up, both silenced. move in 2 sides of saudi arabia's population is under the age of 30. and young people are in bracing new entertainments. experiences like the sound storm festival, a 3 day electronic music event that features international and local office controls. a crowd of about $200000.00 each day. i couldnt imagine us, all feelings is coming to such a place like 5 years ago. just such a thing going to have been and i really like the, the, them here, like everyone isn't good, is to be this goes like they can express themselves through passion, makeup, nothing with the saudi arabia is no longer is closed, as it used to be. and while the mindset just the general public may not be changing

as fast as the growing music industry, the opportunities that have arisen have already changed lives, at least for sol scan under best practice tonight. the, i don't know how you would define a sally on that, but i'm pretty sure she looks like me. so looks like that and others, but like would that by end of the call, that is also a typical saudi women. we are all of that. everything in between, i know that we're resilience, that we can find a way. so in that sense i think i'd, i'd be honored to call myself sally woman the laser. i want to be the one on maybe open

to see my z, the phone and love getting gauge to get married and then live happily ever after me. it's not been like that for decades since the 19 seventy's. there's been a general rise in divorce rates worldwide. the with considerable regional differences. most countries permit divorce next, but not whole math wedding on a grand scale. in march 2023, 2023 couples exchanged marriage files on one day. the city of buffalo done the philippine island of nicholas made it easy for couples to tie the knot. capitals like mikey, and john facing the mid twenties to whom the wedding was free of charge.

like many here that couldn't have afforded this so many other wives. join in my tea set. this was the most important day of the lights. the moon lavished the ceremony. the best to the elaborate mass wedding is a huge celebration to mock a decision that's for life. because the now at least who is nursing option in the philippines when marriages held in very high regard. finally, we're officially a couple i'm happy that i can now take his name. getting married is easy, guessing. divorced, impossible. april. teddy also would like nothing more than to get divorced. but the

no prohibit says the, the 41 year old has to provide for her daughter one henry husband left to years ago. since then, juliana has hardly seen her father. and her memory of him is fading. a few photos in the family album, the old that remains, since he went to seek walk abroad as so many do him. he liked to it broke off the contracts. no divorce means no requirement to pay child support begins on a freight that i won't be able to give her everything she needs the guy when she asked me for something, i'd say i'd be patient, we can't afford it at the moment. we don't have any money right now. she understands that then she says, mommy, that's okay. but fortunately, my daughter is very kind, so we don't have any problems with each other. so

what god has joins together, let no one separate. this phrase from the bible is enshrined and lower nearly 2 countries worldwide. the vatican and the philippines. father jerome. so savannah says the goals is not the only way to solve relationship problems. he sees the philippines as a beacon in the darkness, mazda of in a country that's trailing others and it's development. the circumstances are deeper in front of the sky and police compared to ours, so we don't need to be like them. so i guess we should even be proud of here. we are sticking to it now that that, that we are protecting marriage as it needs to be sure. so in other words, the only way out, so accepted by the church and the state isn't enrollment whether marriage is treated as having never existed. but it's a link to the process that any of the well speaking of for healthy,

many attempts that reform in the past, but all have full and filed if the philippines complicated political system better and it will make it. so lockman often champions the cause of the disadvantaged and has put forward a bill that permits divorce in certain cases. she's confident it will eventually become little. why not married? yes, i suppose to be so evasive, had been maybe uh, probably to have because of human frailty. and because i'm beast maybe i've uh, into find the uh, i could be more but to create a abused women and they've been, we've been we would have to give, i like to i to do this comp, what's in distress, april patios, and what she can from babysitting,

struggles to make ends meet. it's been 8 years now since her husband left. he doesn't support so that goes to. but the little still states she must remain married to him. thankfully when things get really bad, she does at least have relatives who help out for those. i finally want to get away from their ex partners but can because they're still married on paper funding. wherever you go to his name goes with you on to get more funding. but when i found out there's a chance that i might be able to divorce in the future, i felt hope again that got an hold up on that one day. i will be able to file the papers and we will be separated for good. so think you will end up with i am. so john and mikey guessing married means they can start

a new independent ice together. the philippines is quite a conservative country, where the values of the catholic church is still cherished by many if i don't like divorce, you need to take the time and be fully sure about your partner before you get married for you. if you're not sure, then don't get married. it's as simple as that. for a 2nd. okay, laugh i think the bose is okay. even if you've known someone for a long time, you don't always know what they're thinking and what's going on inside them. and you can predict what the future home should stay one day, no longer be so happy together. it's possible they won't have to stay together any longer. and they want to the,

this woman is royalty, even if it doesn't appear. so at 1st loans is making them is working hard to en money for her family. she can sell aquino of oysters for about 3 years. one day she will be clean, but exactly when that's a secret kept by the women other rhonda the u. s. b would mean that you have to go through several rituals. it'd be there. i realize that their secrets, she's a guy who's that adams. you have to know the traditions and know exactly how to prepare the shells for the sacred ceremony, for example, that we see them said yet i, but those, if it's the women who hold the power among the be saga, people living on this island far off the coast of guinea be so they all have the head of the family and above them all the queens. at the moment they are, all 3 is dictated by tradition. they also serve as priestess. they make all the

important decisions on the island, such as when to so and harvest and when to hold religious ceremonies. when the women are allowed inside the round top, every problem is discussed with names on the why do we help people with their marriage problem as we know about everyone's problems here on a wrong go? it's a couple is arguing and they don't come to us. we'll hear about it from their neighbors messages and then we'll help them find a solution at the moment. i welcome to say on the women may have the power here, but they also do most of the work. they build the houses and do the housework. and they also own all the property. some of the oysters that in this, and they cannot connect to this morning of being cooked for the families, lunch. the people on the wrong go live modestly relying on what nature has provided . the men go out to fish, but they don't do much other work. instead, i have

a lot of leisure time to get no one questions this division of labor. specifically, the women are proud of the strong role and i use the same data midland again, i mean, i don't, as i say and then defied, unlike the women on the mainland where independence, there was a couple of them. i yeah, well we scale or we don't wait for them then because we do we don't have to beg them for money store shopping. we can decide for ourselves what to spend the money on in atlanta for them if you need any other defense. i don't know, but let's get some 3000 people live on and run go most of them in the village of 80 koga here. women decide who they want to marry. the parents then ask the parents of the chosen partner to agree to the marriage. the men are allowed to have several why they didn't have a problem with living in the matriarchy. there are advantages for them. and just

like the women they're proud of their traditions. am i keep them from not going to be sort of programming and keep them free ever since queen a king of papa. and we've become famous for being the island where the women have all the power. oh my god. so badly to say that we're planning company, so the data here problems are solved before they get bigger and success in any thought that going to happen. and you may notice, and we have our queen up to thing for the better for me because i forget to get a kink. a pump is with it, and around go have remains a kit here in this hunt into koga. it's become a safer place for people to visit she's known for leading the resistance against the portuguese colonial powers and for championing social reforms and women's rights until his death. in 1930 today though, there was also a village, t caetano to pinion clean. any pays in regular visits, as his opinion is imposing too often rules that men should also have

a voice in this way. the women ensure that no problem is ignored, and the ones using the government in the capital b so seems to can little for the role of the women on the rank of it. since it's decrees to katana, not the queens, but no one here pays that any mind. see where the content of so say the government in be so could learn something from us. there the politicians don't listen to the women, look at them here. on the other hand, everyone works together because of what it was, and that's why everyone in our village except some decisions that are made, it was all about. the queen's hut is the center of power, says a 2 year old queen in a kid. the women carry on the tradition of booking cub pump. i see the condo, we all work together for it again, and we put a lot of effort into that. first the men and women meet separately. then they meet with one another and we'll go, we're not allowed. once everything has been discussed. we queens have the last word

. i'm going to add the islands may no longer be home to appear matriarchy. but it's definitely a contrast to the patriarchal power struct who's on the mainland. the occupant of go, it's positive, was never for the colonized that is allowed its democratic traditions to be largely preserved, making o'rando a place of peace. the, when the rearrange things indigenous songs, another world opens up to her the soprano things into the picture mistake and her own native language. make sure it's time

for a sudden check for her show tonight. in mexico city, the name was 11 miss spaniels calls, we can speak spanish, but when we speak about native language, everything is different. language is what straits our view of life and of the world . it's the basis of every thing he said in maria rena. left will haka the city where she grew up to study singing. she's fluent in spanish, but always dreamed of performing an issue. today, she thinks it's a big stage. she performs can 14 indigenous languages. she's fighting, but they're not forgot to. some day she hopes to sing, you know, 68 of mexico was indigenous languages. language. they own languages that are in danger of extinction. some of disappearing. it is very sad because when a language does a culture dies, wish to actually show my gosh tonight,

she's going to dedicate this onto her mother. mr. gomez. when they're doing, when i return to my home finish, everything is different because my parents don't speak spanish when i'm the i speak mondays have language and your some 600 kilometers away lives. the mountain village of traffic told to pick people here with a modest life, a world apart from maria's glamorous life. but the conversations over the family kitchen table will always be familiar. maria's mother has lived here all her life, but she encouraged her daughter to see the world. so little they know my mom says she's proud that it's a good thing that other people get to hear all language link. loraina had to finance or sing studies with side jobs as a maid, and never the less or successful give hope to others a little mislead me to throw those. i think the mostly specials thing is to be an

inspiration to other indigenous women who are pursuing their goals and dreams. cadence sully is on the surface. when you'll see them, the singer will soon perform on stage in new york city. she wants to wear a traditional scarf showing where she comes from. it's important to her but many mexicans turned their backs on their homeland when they moved to the us in search of a better life. the risk losing their native mutual language to delivery irina says music has brought her closer to the roots. she performs in traditional dress and says that it's part of her story telling, bundled almost uh, when we go up into the mountains, there are many colors and flowers that we encounter on the way before it is shown by these years since the months. yeah. well, it's back in mexico, the reality is somewhat contradictory. while indigenous cultures seem to be

celebrated in public life with markets full of handicrafts, most indigenous people live in poverty neglected by the state. i but this the see system because i guess some aspects have been for gossen lucky glasses of yours. okay. but here's thanks to people like muddy at a know this is elizabeth sooner all work is made visible. explain in the midst of the whole these days, maria rena is in a position to financially support her parents to give something back to them. she hopes of music will make a difference and give others the courage to follow her path. oh, good. a guy that can get a couple numbers with us. we subbing seats to add in my case it's with music. you'll come by singing in my native language. i want to inspire children and young
