and who begin right here in the heart of the capital and hold to 1000000 people. now, despite liberia being one of only 2 countries to not stuff of colonialism in africa is still whole some of the forest populations on us. and right now i'm about to try and make sense of why the situation is so dia for young people. let's go. the monroe via is a beautiful city on a sunny peninsula in west africa. however, despite its natural beauty, it's one of the least developed countries in the world due to years of civil war and the phone that, that makes the to want to learn more about monroe vs. so we need to come around, i read you present a to busting markets, one of the best places to chat to about the economy. oh gosh. i want to get it because it's something that i will never find anywhere else in the world. i think

so, i mean, hold on one that's, that's a $100.00 notes to come on. now you can give me a disco and why is the state of the economy the way it is? you know, liberia has been independent for many, many years, many decades. and one might think, well, this should be the example for the rest of africa. yeah. so on, i mean, the old as republic. um, we've had some problems. you've had the civil war for 2 years, a one civil unrest. we've had it for allow we've had the pool navaros and a couple of rough shown, you know, i mean, it's always in a few questions. i mean, i can't imagine how to survive all of that. you know, you said, well, ebola corona, i know we have an economic crisis here. how does it affect your society, particularly women? a lot. um, so you know, um if you look at this market we look up where we spend a lot of the sellers. you see that women and a lot of them. um, so this is because um a lot of the public thats the offices,

the jobs and the offices and big jobs um on the z off. um lets say the read to z, i always demand out, you know, the always the ones in the offices either that's women so much um and i don't think it's because of the less the qualification. i think a lot of women are qualified. a lot of them i think we hold is allowed to live. i have high school graduates women a significantly under represented in all areas and fees, high levels of gender inequality, which is comfortable to countries like a funny son and he t. the number of men holding a uni visits degree is twice as high as that to women. even when women study, they often struggle to find employment and may end up working in jobs like those in this market. we're almost at the end of our shopping trip actually of the ends. but i knew you were explaining to me the role of women in this society. how would you

describe it? would you say the women are generally empowered? you know, is not the way i think um, the women, i imagine the lives in the legislature, a fine women slicing women striving but yet against it and will follow eastern leading hearts with them. well, 5 to thank you so much for your time this morning. i really appreciate it. yeah. and on that topic of women, that's actually where we're headed right now. we've got a group of young liberians and we want to find out from them. what exactly is the role of women in this culture that's coming up when i was 50 bates, but 1st can change to answer this question, we get some young people at the beach club outside monrovia. preparing for a street debate is always challenging and requires a big crew and of course, kind of list with the opposing views. yeah, they switch you right. i know there's

a way some written on the thing next to be. so this was like 3 to the most important thing with these to be just yourself and the the hello and welcome back to the seventy's of epithets trick debates. this week we are a library of capital of monrovia. now you might be familiar with the expression, strong african woman in this country, they suddenly having had a female president electronic johnson. but this strength in women is sometimes discouraged when it comes to romantic relationships, particularly in the applicant context, such as everyone to find out why. who better to answer this question for me that

some late periods. and we're going to start with the couple on the panel. we have a couple the so loved up austin insurance. hello. thanks for joining us. so let's start with the basic question of your day to day when you wake up in the morning, give me a little clue about who does what in the morning. what's your morning routine like sons, how you really signing? let me start. well, thank you. um in the morning i wake up around 55 like 530 a get my kid ready for school wide. he's dead getting ready for work. okay, so what do you say that's your domestic responsibilities. sort of equally splits between the 2 of you? yeah, it is. yeah. physically i'm able to wake up early morning and get hot water for the kids. i'm able to be bidding the little girl while she has to be ferrying cove out of something. so yes, i think is good and i enjoy doing abraham. where are you? i know that to have a biblical name and also an old fashion stands on the concept of equality and

relationships. tell me a little bit about that. for me. i come with 4 african quarter background and they are, ruth described to me both men and women. i believe that most of the 1st choices in our african context, uh uh, the responsibility of the women. but the make them be of help to let me tell you, i'm laughing because the women behind me are really saying you subject something then? yeah, what i would like you to complete it's fees. so you started by telling me women's responsibilities in their relationship. i had turned over to one. do all the health choice? no, i said, most of the res response, most of the 1st choice is the woman's responsibilities. so what does the man do then? you know, will i be when setting is the head of the home? he's responsible to, to, to provide for the home. okay. tell me what you're thinking. always the female is

a feminist and an activist. yeah. knowing that liberia was set on the basis of peach. iraqi just explains why they are a no saying these different things. but when you look at who said those rules, who's who give the responsibilities of a woman take in charge of the room and doing the choices. you would know that the men said those rules and wish we'd be leave for very bias, right? because women's potentially is way be your own. just taken care of who i want to hear from some people at the back, right. let me get some reactions come closer to me please. i'm gonna try to listen to this nice then against the east or wilmont haven't equal or read remain home. and woman was based on mississippi and nobody's still happy like that. the reason why we have is stimulus loving women, the i to visit it because the other, what education. okay, so quick question. i'm a woman here who's doing this job of asking questions, and moderating. i would say i'm independent. does that bother you?

yeah, it. well ma'am, you know, african culture must not be dependent. what if i told you that in my culture, women actually the heads of the home, that's the culture in all gods. and that was said, yeah. and then back on to the women that there was something missing. ok. so let me come back to the couple of the even holding hands. let me tell you we are feeling so single today on this. so when you hear some of these assertions, i can imagine that the muscles will be people in your family who also have hold similar views. they told me that this, this, the letters you work up and, you know, washed the dishes, you're the man. you woke up just get ready for work and move on, you know, and then you start to follow that. i don't get a while as you do that. so i woke up early morning and what is going to shop people? is that the moon you as a me you benefit a lot if those equality in the home. yeah. mother goes to visit you. and then she's

easy. washington dirty clothes. she's like, why is my phone rousing daddy clothes? let me hear from my dealing for a 2nd because we haven't spoken to her. you just want to investigate this idea of the head of a home because because no one has talked about partnerships in the contemporary. well that's we live in today. do we still need that classical head of a home? well, i have no interesting relationship anymore. it is because of what i went through when i was a relationship, so i had to quit 2019 because uh i had an a b will save pregnant. well while it protective, and he was very abusive. so i went to it. i held my god like king. i have a look up in the morning in. what? so what sucks but bucks are in. what it bobby i'm with sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet. sweet, i need to understand is what do you mean put stokes, but what, what, what helps him dress up in the morning like

a child was what when extra martin, you know, helping to my relationship. okay. and do i have a question for you as he was treating him as a king, as he was saying, which by the way, absolutely. was he treating you as a queen as well? he was abusive. he was really abusive. so he has actually to mid me until lost interest in having relationship. and when i see people are like, you know, couples and they know i feel like they're not being true to each other. yeah. okay . so obviously not all relationships which have that dynamic will end up in abuse. yeah, let's just be clear about that. however, it can, because these a power dynamic that has not been addressed. so how do you, how do you navigate this? so for me, people always put or have a negative connotation. when it comes to head of home,

we're not saying that there will much would be the one to address you. is not, is that the most responsibility to dress you? if that is happening, that's abuse. knowing your rules is different from being abuse, but i'm saying that the i ascribe this for men and women who, who were done very clearly. okay. i mean that's your position and that's perfectly fine. we've had many things, right? including the traditional is to think that we mentioned even be educated. let me hear from, oh, i am so afraid to bring the microphone to you. but let's hear you say your point is a need that we go back to try decent all we must have missed it, but it was good to not have to do everything. and that's why we haven't been in that as i've had to submit this, but it's what about why you want edit, because now we may just find a new home. okay, so let me just, are you working for example? and you must have female bosses. how do you respond to that?

oh, a has an a bus mean a female is going to come to get her to decide very low, see hard being submissive. sometimes she just, she just was point, know how to man. and that is the high supposed to be so well not being a bus that can be from abusive to me. oh, okay. i, i honestly cannot believe that i am hearing these words in 2023, but um, but, but i, but i mean you'll, you'll, you'll view points, let me get one last one here with me. i am power one. yeah. etiquette telling me i learned this aside to become better because come on with kyra children, you know wounds from 9 months which is huge. so new on dustin relationship because we've gone with them for 9 months when they come outside and we've been with them. it even be a hot spot in the old. we sometimes think of them as babies. yeah. alpha as bosses already come on, the baby's man to support. we mean, then we can be able to be home and it's society better. all right,

normally at this point of the debate would be asking people for solutions. but after hearing all the diverse opinions, i'm not sure that there is such a thing as solutions. we started with a couple, i'd like to end with them. we've had so many viewpoints here. do you think that the kind of relationship that the 2 of you have which some people might see us aspirational is on the threats? we work up in the morning as a man and getting ready for work. when you stand before that mirror, jesse a human being, when you see your wife see a human being, she to her that way, man. you are going to be happy. if you bring that woman to the equal point, you're going to be happy because we are just equal and we have this agreement on audius' and wish when we've been here, they've been the idea that we're pushing well, which is a better idea. we go about that. thank you. that is a beautiful place to rock this debates. we have had some very controversial remarks today, but also what

a nice way to wrap it up. think 1st and foremost of your partner as human the, the morning after the st debates in monrovia, i'm still preoccupied with the topic compared to my hotel and they will be one will be a seems more conservative. unfortunately, the issue will be quality, will continue to be heavy in my mind for a long time as we minutes to have a long way to go before we connect you to the quality. but right now, my focus is on an incredible past, and we've just learned about so something interesting about the young lady here in the action is still using facebook is not incredible, and that's exactly where we found the story of the young e. here's the one we're hoping to meet at the airport just now. he's on a very young face in the you with a pilots who has made a new scene journey across the atlantic. when a single engine clay up in the young, the flu from mary land usa to liberia, you made several stops along the way, including canada, greenland, iceland, u. k. friends, speed morocco,
