the world in progress of pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic that concern us about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w. postcard hello and welcome to this week. citizen of the 77 percent. with me, let's show. i was away for a while that's now i'm back and i'm thrilled to be your host. to date, the coming up on the show and are straight debate. it is kamani asked the young people about the state of women's rights in one that we needed to by brand a syrian, one of the 1st female tour guides in king of fame must must die matter of national reserve. and we'd take off with you gun does the youngest pilots, graham shimmer,

the this week i read a pretty sucking statistic. less than one percent of women and girls globally live in a country with high women empowerment and hides in that you quality less than one percent . that's according to the human development program. well, one country where women at least appear to have advanced in terms of getting equal rights as men and holding high leadership positions is one that. but what does that achievement meaning, especially given that most power is still lives within the hands of one man? president pool conduct. ma'am, it just came on me when searching for answers and this week street debate. the hello and welcome back to the 77 percent. this week we are gonna be one,

the also known as alonda of a 1000 fields. more recently it's come to be known as the best place for women in politics. and that's because of a 60 percent of parliamentarians here, a women that's compared to just over 20 percent globally. so you can see what the big deal is, what we have to investigate if there's a trickle down effect. how does the women in this country feel about that? has there been any change and what can we, as the rest of the globe loan from this country? who else to help us with those questions? but some of the one present today, we're going to begin with a member of parliament. just give us a, a took back in history. how did we get here? how did we get there? or started to by put it through call. we tend to think, you know, our country is mac, the was a duck who's 300 dentist say that goes to see where we don't know for a position where it could be because they were so on. the driver side door stopped . big measures were to, can control us from the country, so is detected by detecting in the country what type of discrimination exists up. so just for the benefit of our audience was global. the dentist had

a guess of 2 things left. a big part of the population, unfortunately, to murder a nearly 60 to 70 percent of the remaining population while women. right. so before that, what was the state of affairs for women in this country? how was it like? yeah, so 1st of all, women couldn't own land they couldn't inherited. so he's suppose there was a, we don't in her daughter's, none of them could online even when the auntie before, when their father was to there. also you needed a written permission or a consent by your husband to get a job or to open a bank account. excuse me? yeah. thats hoefer we we were so underlined issue in 2019 uh, surprisingly more women on non to than men. well, so this been a radical shift, you would say, since then, how would you describe the state of affairs for you guys? when i was younger, there was less women driving cause i remember when i was young, i used accounts 3, the 3 women. i remember the colors of their cost,

so i used to clap whenever they would pass by and now you can't is too many. so you're the okay, was this uh speak to me about it. i think that is true, but also let's not forget that part of the reason why there was a political will to give rights. and the equality for women in this country is because women are fundamentally the rights population of demographic. if you want to do piece and reconciliation and he has been proven if we wanted, especially after the genocide women have contribute to 60 percent of what compensation and building this country the way it is. i want to know, you know, if you were raised in this country by say, men who enjoyed patriarchal system, how are you different from seeing your father's generation or your uncles a think? where is it from? in this situation we are all of my does our everything, all big sisters were like,

oh my dogs and all my those were like a all fall does. yeah. so yeah, everything to us the way it gets with anything which put them behind. so you'll definitely new mind, new thinking is innovation. okay. i used to hear from w y a y, w c a. no. you are not crazy. yeah. you sounded like if we have a lived, me why we still know a week and going back in rural area, you might find still women there who doesn't know what you're saying. yeah. and to go on a simple example. there is a higher level of tennis, prettiness in rhonda now and one of the issues you might see it's because of me, they don't understand and take what they do. they don't see the effect or impact of improvements someone while for them the life was on. and i wanted to add that to congratulation rhonda for 61 percent because representation is very important for young girls who are going up to know that they can make it into those rooms.

however, it's very important to also question exactly which is the topic of today. what does actually those numbers represent? and what are the women in those seats actually doing? because we usually misunderstand numbers because you think if a woman is in the position, they represent women because uh well, which is not because this i'm a woman. it's like if you see a woman who's leading a certain company does not mean to the everything. the decisions that making that making them for the sense of women and then oh okay, that was a question directed to you, right? which is the women in those seats, which is yourself. but what are you doing for the women? so many as ago i was like in my system was questioning please. what are you coming to do? what the form has but that despair of talking to them, the old showing the 20 days grab them,

use them. i grabbed it to know i'm sitting with them telling them i know you printed that, did you enough to don't know, giving it on the rights to women, but to out of sing, man. oh, need to run behind the women's box. what can we do? and then 2021. we amended that so no, because the way the gaps you see i'm saying good. because the say we've been a problem and to do many quite a it's a progress. you know, today you may actually have this much to where will you find it? there is it. so the easy, this works full resonate or with resonates which is an organization that helps deal with these challenges that we're talking about. the women believe that they belong in dispositions and not just the members of parliament, but like c e o directors do they own that. that's what i was about to see the cortez that we have. so would have 30 percent of women in whatever position you're supposed to be in. yes,

because we grew up in the frontier court sanctuary. everybody tells you you don't deserve to be there or you don't have anybody who looks like you there. so you are in the room, we're talking about this earlier, we're in the room, you're just the one woman 30 man. what can you say? and everybody will go, are you just the woman? so i think in addition to the party sees the child strategies, the everything we're doing, we need to get to the we meant to have that creek in their mind. that goes, yeah, actually does love hear these. i need some solutions. now, how do we close the gaps that exist ation? i'll say, 1st of all, we need women and girls in poem meant in their minds, this or chevy couldn't become you politically. we need to pull our goals and feel confident about it. second, we need many engagement. we have to be uh, december level of fund of funding. like what time to sunday to what day on the sun if i feel like i can be a business woman, it must have been the funded the same way, not feeling that i was given to that wasn't given i deserve. okay, fantastic. and finally, because we started with you,

i'd like to wrap up this conversation with you. at the beginning, we asked if you field is a trickle down effect. obviously from your work, you have an idea. but based on this conversation, what do you think could be done more? we still have a long way to go. it's a continuous work and we know that women do as double as so many and so much on faith because we have instruct, chosing, impress, helping them. do we have a place where they can put the children? and so they kind of focus on the work at home. so what we have to do is to continue input implementing those. i made amazing policies. also on the side, are you the maximum will put through the through how as the women so this is to them rabbits. ok heard it and moved wanda to the next is good. i could not think of a better place to wrap up this debate into so who do we think he double canoga, who does a q, bob,

but little by little you feel the entire space and they think that's the message that we've had here today. this steps that's been taken this month to go, but let's not forget, the good work has been done. thank you all for being here and thank you for watching. the thank you so much either. then everybody in king gallery for that's a lively debate. and if you want to see the whole street debate just heads towards your tube, you know, i love how the less participant and since then that we women need to go out there and grab opportunities. and one person who is doing exactly that is elizabeth. i will do from nigeria. now when you think of people creating arts and furniture out of wood, you probably don't have a woman in mind and i have to admit that's to me would work has always been a typical man's job. so here's elizabeth to end that misconception, once and for all what is it to be a female would work of in like julia,

elizabeth young knows that the nature of my business is mailed to me, said about her name and stuff as being quite difficult to says shipper, me, so my number to call me elizabeth has come a nice for herself. literally. how was not an easy task but way was why i thought that would walk in precisely or was going to 3 and say, once i started, i actually got new knowledge of what i can lend everything. as i gain more experience in the field, i started into an on conventional wait, i had a dream where i saw myself in the me. so what i'm asking the point on the drain. i saw the opportunity on southern business. yeah, we have a life ed club buttons from a client who brought this over to the walk show for us to help savages. so we're

trying to see this world can be brought back our life, which coming if at each head group sort of express the culture and traditions in that area on this blogs to the 12th century. however, one of the major challenges i to go through the set of smoking materials i years i was i saw them locally nigeria. all this was from the 1st specialties of 3. this is important for me. mongol slap. so here we have the wine rack. does a get were owned by the ocean content. yeah. my reception dates as need of well not . so yeah, i have a chair made up from my old any. yeah, its a rocking chair. most likely use 5 elderly people. so i looked to encourage um, furniture pieces for the old that one women in business face challenges and can

sometimes throw in the towel, also, frustration box, elizabeth hospital, this house. so like the old saying goes, what a month can do. a woman can do better. my advice for young man, that's fine. so going to mail to me that feels like might be that they should be busy and they should be very odd working. i remember when i started at i will be back. i see, boy just kept pushing when i had no customers on the 1st lions, i had a peeved way for me because the enabled me to keep my talents with i coaching design. elizabeth is not just a new situation to women, bought a new situation for anyone is determined to mickey inmate, julia, or elizabeth. i will do very impressive. our next report is from kenya from the site. myra national reserve to be precise. and now we want to present to another

woman breaking free from what society expects her role to be. and in case you haven't noticed, we're all about gender equality and women empowerment today. we have a tenuous mess. i'm are in this area by being one of the 1st 2 most life choices by him. that just seems a lot of this is done for me. i flushed my dad because he was actually the adult. most of the people of the mid that i'm supposed to respect, then they get from my brothers and then know that entail, uh, or at the age of 9 straight down, choose choose letters to send to the one in the muscle community is to does that

should uh thing because you know, when one is one of the go this one into a tool the daddy's have to because he's most of cause he's seen calls. so you know, for us, there is bread price that is being paid. and when that is paid, it is an exchange of the go with cost. so for you, when you really grow at the age of about 9 to 12, that's when know another person's gonna come and talk to your dad. and then of course, you can be margot necessary and grew up in narrow quest of nairobi. just a few kilometers away from the mass lay mara, national park. she used to hood latch stokeland often and count as wildlife. that's what her passion began. i swear that good in field was amended mean they did the field and us pull what i went to actually really wanted to to, to show.
