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 that will 7 take a cultural shift, including integrating women into the workforce and grunting them will pass new freedoms. but music, the jason policies only existed before vision 20 thought to the underground seems very much, was the very end of it. it was in people's house of things kind of are literally hidden because it had to be because if you had speakers in your trunk, it could be arrested. you know, what are you doing for making the music industry is also a positive position. 20 thought he struck today suddenly now is just, you know, here is more opportunity. here's funding, here's, here's education. because we're, as a society, we kind of decided like a governmental the place. and we've decided that art in particular is something to be invested in today was still in school when the country began to change. it was

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

employment rate has doubled, many rules concerning male guardianship has been eliminated. and yet, the reforms that contradictory people who raise the voice to demand equal rights for women a liable to be locked up post silenced, move in 2 sets of saudi arabia as population is under the age of 30. and young people are embracing you enter payments, experiences like the sound storm festival, a 3 day electronic music event, the features international and local office in jewels a crowd of about 200000 each day. i couldn't imagine us. all feelings is coming to such a place like 5 years ago. we are just such a thing going to have been and i really like the, the don't like everyone isn't good is to be this goes next. i can express themselves through question may cause nothing with the saudi arabia is no longer as closed as it used to be. and while the mindset of 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 sally on that, but i'm pretty sure she looks like me. so looks like that and others, but like would i by end of the call that is also a typical saudi woman. 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 place i want to be the one on maybe open

a c y, z the phone and love guessing gauge to get married and then live happily ever after me. it's not being like that for decades since the 19 seventy's. there's been a general rise in divorce rates worldwide, though with considerable regional differences. most countries permit divorce next, but no total amount of 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. they couldn't have a food at this time and many other wise. joining my tea, said this was the most important day of the lights. the moon lavish the ceremony the best to the elaborate mess wedding is a huge celebration to mock a decision that's for life because the now at least who is nursing option and if anything, when marriage is housing very high regard. finally, we're officially a couple. 7 i'm happy that i can now take his name. getting married is easy, getting divorced, impossible. april teddy also would like nothing more than to get divorced. but then

know prohibits it 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. how old that remains since he went to seek walk abroad a so many do hit he later for a call for 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. when she asked me for something, i say be patient because 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. fortunately, my daughter is very kind, so we don't have any problems with each other. so

what go to is joins together, let no one separate. this phrase from the bible isn't showing in lowering only 2 countries worldwide. the vatican and the philippines. father jerome says salon no, says the voice 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 its development. the circumstances are deeper in front of these countries compared to ours, so we don't need to be like them. so i guess we shouldn't 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 excepted by the church and the state is an enrollment where the marriage is treated as having never existence. but it's a lengthy process the any, the well, so you can, if for hippie, many attempts that reform in the past,

but all have full and filed of this then opinions complicated political system better and it will make it so lockman often champions the cause of the disadvantage and has put forward a bill that permits divorce in certain cases. she's confident it will eventually become a little why not married? yes, i suppose to be so bad as it had been. maybe probably haven't because of human frailty. and because a beast maybe i've uh into find the uh, i would be more particularly abused women and they've been, we've been we would have to give a life like 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 dosa, 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, wherever you go to, whose name goes with you on, on to get full funding. but when i found out there's a chance that i might be able to divorce in the future and look at myself. hope again. they've got an hold up on that one day. i will be able to file the papers and then we will be separated for good and so with that and you will end up with i am. so john and mikey, getting 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 divorced 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 holds in just a 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 end 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, that you have to go through several rituals. it'd be there, i realized. but their secret today added that items you have to know the traditions and know exactly how to prepare the shells for the sacred ceremony. for example, that we see some said yet a but those, if it's the women who hold the power among the abuse yaga, people living on this island far off the coast of guinea be so they are 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,

so 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 their round top, every problem is discussed, the names of the 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 i'm 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 is making them collected this morning of being cooked for the families, lunch. the people on around 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 thing that amendment of the again, i mean, i don't have to 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 to get it looks good. we do. we don't have to bag 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. got pretty good. some 3000 people live on the wrong guys, 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 lights. they didn't have a problem with living in the matriarchy. there are advantages for them. and just

like the women the proud of their traditions, i keep them from looking to just sort of probably keep them cool. are you 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, what do i need to say now, let me, let me see the data here. problems are solved before they get bigger than any thought that going to happen. and you may notice, and we have our queen up to thing for the better for me because that for me to get a kink, a pump of is with it. and around a head remains a kit here in this hunt in into koga. it's become a safer place for people to visit she's known for leading the resistance against the portuguese colonial powers until championing social reforms and women's rights until the death and 19 ceci. today though, there is also a village, cheap caetano to pinion queen any pays in regular visits, as this opinion is imposing too. after all, the 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 decreased to katana, not the queens, but no one here pays that any mind. see where the percentage so say the government in the cell could learn something from us. better there, the politicians don't listen to the women look in the middle here. on the other hand, everyone works together because of our lives. and that's why everyone in our village accepts decisions that are made. it was a couple of hours before 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 the we all work together and we put a lot of effort into that. first the men and women meet separately. then they meet with one another, one of them, okay, well that of the language. 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 structures on the mainland. the occupant of go, it's positive, was negative 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 in her own native language, meet you. it's time for a sudden check for her show tonight. in mexico city,

the name was atlanta, ms. spaniels cause we can speak spanish, but when we speak about native language, everything's different. language is what straits our view of life and of the world . it's the basis of every thing to put 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 in the future. today, she thinks it's a big stage. she performs in 14 indigenous languages. she's fighting, but they're not for go to. some the 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 the language does a culture dies with what i show, my gosh tonight,

she's going to dedicate this onto her mother nature. oh cool man. when did you, when i return to my home village, everything is different because my parents don't speak spanish when i'm the i speak my days of language by noon some 600 kilometers away lives. the mountain village of clog are told to pick people here with a modest life. busy 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 and that it's a good thing that other people get to hear all language link. maria rena had to finance or sing studies with the site jobs as a maid and never the less for success. give hope to others a little much when need to to those. i think the mostly specials thing is to be an

inspiration to other indigenous women who are pursuing their goals and dreams. get us our leaders in the socialist way. and you'll see that 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 turn their backs on their homelands when they move to the us in search of a better life. the risk losing their native meet your language. oh, very irena says music has brought her closer to her roots. she performs in traditional dress and says that it's part of our 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 secular. since the multi, i've got put back in mexico, the reality is somewhat contradictory. while indigenous cultures seem to be

celebrated in public life with markets feel a fund the craft. most indigenous people live in poverty and neglected by the state . i but this on the see system give them yes. 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 so and that's 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 that music will make a difference and give others the courage to follow her path. oh, i got a king going to put him was with us was 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
