and who begin right here in the heart of the capital and one to 1000000 people. now, despite liberia being one of only 2 countries to not suffer colonialism in africa is to hold some of the porous populations on us. and right now i'm about to try and make sense of why the situation is so zaya for young people. let's go. the monroe via is a beautiful city on a stunning 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 bullet that makes the to want to learn more about one rule vs. so we need to come around, i read you present a to busting markets. one of the best places to chat about the economy. oh, i get it because it's something that i will never find anywhere else. noel. yeah,

i think so. i mean, who have a wallet, that's a $100.00 notes. come on now you can give me a disco and why is the state of the economy the way it is? you know, library 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 undergrad, so we 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 looked at where we spent a lot of the sellers. do 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 offices and big jobs. i'm on the z off. let's say you 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 is because of the less the qualification i think a lot of women are qualified. a lot of them, i think we whole it is a lot of 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 oh no you explaining to me the role of women in this society. how would you

describe what you said? the women generally empowered you? um no is not that way. i think um the women are um, nationalized even in the legislature is fine. women slicing women striving but yet against it. and we'll follow eastern leading pots with them. well, fact 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 on ah, speeds debates but 1st can change to answer this question, we get some young people at the beach club outside monrovia. preparing for a street, the beach is always challenging and requires a big crew. and of course, kind of list with opposing views. yeah, they suite you right. i know there's

a way some written on the thing next to be. so this was like 3 to the most of what we say with these to be just yourself and the, the, the hello and welcome back to the seventy's of epithets trick debate. this week we are a library of the capital of monroe via now you might be familiar with the expression strong african woman in this country. they suddenly having had a female president, elizabeth johnson. but the strength in women is sometimes discouraged when he comes through a magic relationship, particularly in the applicant, context sensitive. we want 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 this 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 giving me a little clue about who does what in the morning, what's your morning routine, like since how you are really signing, let me start. well, thank you. um in the morning i wake up around 55 like 530 a get my kids ready for school wide. he's dead getting ready for work. okay, so what do you say that's your domestic responsibilities. uh 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 beeping the little girl while she has to be very cold or something. so yeah, i think is good and i enjoy doing abraham. where are you? i know that you 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 stopped at something then. yeah, i would, i would like you to complete it please. 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 re respect i'm most of your 1st choice is the woman's responsibilities . so what does the mind do then? you know, i 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 firm 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 it gives the each, the woman having equal or right to remain home and woman was be so missed it. and nobody's still happy like that. the reason why we have a few minutes will have the woman that i to visit it because of 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 by so culture in our gods and that was said yeah, in the back onto 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 there must also be people in your family who also have quotes similar views. they told me that this is the letters you woke up and you know, wash 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 why 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 who your mother goes to visit you and dentist,

easy. washington dirty clothes. she's like, why is my phone rushing very close? let me hear from my dealing for a 2nd because we haven't spoken to the hey, 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's 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 deal save pregnant. but while it protective, and he was very abusive. so i went to it. i held my god like king. i have to look up in the morning and what so what sucks for bucks are in what it will be. i mean, we have to be 32333320 i need to understand is what do you mean? put socks with what, what, what, what helped him dressed up in the morning like

a child was what i went extra martin, you know, helping to my relationship. okay. and so 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 the mid mutual 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,

where it comes to head of we're not saying that there will much would be the one to address you. is not, is that the most responsibility of the dresser? if that is happening, that's abuse. knowing your rules is different from the abuse, but i'm saying that the ascribe for men and women who are, who are 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's we mentioned, even be educated, let me hear from, oh, i am so afraid to bring the microphone to you. but let's say you, let's say your point is a need that we go back to try to ship all we must have missed it, but it was the quarter and not have to do everything. and that is why we, i haven't been in that as i'm probably assuming this, and that is all about why you weren't at it, cuz now we made us find a new home west. okay, so let me just, are you working for example? and you must have female bosses. how do you respond to that?

oh, is having a bus mean a female is going to come to get it because i really don't see her being submissive . sometimes she just, she just was point. know how to man. and that is the high supposed to be. so what am i being a bus? the can be from abusive to me. oh, okay i, i honestly cannot believe that i am hearing these words in 2023 but but, 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 line this aside to become better because come on with care of children in our rooms for 9 months, which is huge. so new on dustin relationship because we've gone with them for 9 months when they come outside that we've been with them. it even be a hoss wanting to, oh, we sometimes think of them as babies. yeah. alpha as boss is but when you come on, the baby's meant to support me, then what could be able to be a home and it society better. all right, normally at this point of the debates,

i would be asking people for solutions. but after hearing all the diverse opinions, i am not sure that there is such a thing a solution. we started with a couple, i'd like to end with them. we've had so many view points here. do you think that the kind of relationship that the 2 of you have with 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, just the a human being. when you see your wife see a human being, she'd heard our 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 odds 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 street, the beach in monrovia, i'm still preoccupied with the topic compared to my hotel and they will be, will be a seems more conservative. unfortunately, the issue of the 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 person 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, of the young e. he'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 pilot who has made an insane journey across the atlantic when a single engine's clean up the young, the flu from maryland, usa to liberia. you made several stops along the way, including canada, greenland,

iceland, u. k. friends, speed morocco, more retain. yes, and the go and see early on. finally, on november 23rd. he arrived in liberia, where he was welcomed as the hebrew contests, though not too long ago, and we can't wait to hear what inspires him and why he even decided to do that. let's go. we meet him and his friends at the old one rosier airport. an inspiration for young lady periods, is this him on the to said, oh wow. he's fans have a gift for him. i've been looking for you. well, thank you so much. okay. a model of his aircraft. someone has to do something to inspire. the younger dies is spinning. the story of his journey has become a hot topic. you monrovia, and by the way, did you have to fly alone the whole time i had to that must have been very lonely. um, i mean this option, so it's no longer something i enjoy doing. yeah. okay. do you have

a special name for your plane or as far as in nancy miles, i've seen that 1st miller, c. oh, nice to meet you. fancy nancy. nancy nancy is a 1976 beechcraft sundown but cost him around $70000.00 when he purchased it in 2001 the one of the most concerning aspects of his trip was the high cost of fuel the i t engineer had to make a few sacrifices to find this is jenny, i'm a model support kind of guy. i love to go 5 routing motorcycle. i got disney fine t t r. and i'm sitting looking at it. i'm like, this is an expensive trip. i got to sell this car. it was the hardest thing to do.

this my dream cock i saw in for then that can help build up another kids to in. i mean, it sounds to me like it's really important to you the to inspire people here and you show them that it's possible. why is that in africa, if we see cortez taking place? i know it's in all the countries in my mindset is as we capable as well from the library we are capable, people was able and we have smart people. we can make things happen. i've not still have some fuel left and he offers me a special surprise where back to going off like the cold fields exceptionally cramped, the narrow ceiling. loud noises and numerous instruments make it hard to believe that i'm the travels across 3 continents in this tiny gap in the

book. the view outside is exceptional. did you get scared at any point of flu and temperature, negative 12 degrees fahrenheit and there was a wall of clothes and 13 i tripped sceptically like more and i'm sitting there going on. this is not good. there's nothing you didn't do. you can turn around, mirror weighs, you know, you don't have that much the so i just kept pushing. yeah. all right, thank you very much. it's so beautiful up there. i have to agree with you. i really be and definitely continues to see that. and guys, i promise you, you will not appreciate if, if it's a, from any better view than that. i think the good. okay, maybe let's go grab

a copy now. the, the residents of monrovia creve success stories while the city is sending the beautiful when viewed from above, many young people remain unemployed on the ground and end up in the less glamorous discount. so far we've seen some incredible stories coming off to one rover yet, but the truth is that there is a drug here which has ravaged some of its use, push it, assume that's a drug, was to originate and co position is still not fully understood, but it's become a cost popular drug for distribution to youth who have nothing to look forward to that. so we're going to speak to some of them to understand why that interest rate and what it means because the sites on the i'm told these ruins house at least 300 people. almost everyone here smokes goose

for about 4 years now. it's been severely affecting, they'd be as useful to the so it's hard to predict the west of what i quickness thing because it's not anything that i've ever experienced before. every room with a 2003 and i'm vision and then presented on the phone. pre entity crush like crack delivers a brief yet powerful, high wind smoke. the sensation quickly fades, leaving the use a in a kind of home. i mean william hoopa, who's smoking a single penny to push for $0.50. yes, we want to do some di, you know, in mid june forego, but it finds immediacy able to forget what a warranty. i don't think i've been bothering you. so when did this, you love yourself was the time when you're waiting to get it's already body to
