because change doesn't have the make up your own mind. me the, this is data. the news that for tech coming up on the program, special to end if g m activists in can be a all campaigning hard. as a moving vote in parliament could see the countries ban on female genital mutilation. listed it's a tough fights. there were strong supports in the country, it's a continuance. the home full practice post is coming up in temporary, local fishermen tell dw big industrial phone is taking all the fish and attacking them, etc. basically, the government isn't doing anything to help it. plus you're looking at the world's most expensive sheets home and spend a go there, a space,

a symbol that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. the hello, i'm christine. wonder, it's good to have your company. female genital mutilation is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women, but it is still being practiced in many african, middle east and, and asian countries despise official bands. about 200000000 women and girls and live today have undergone. if g m, the largest share of them 144000000 in africa. now if jim involves removing healthy, a normal tissues from the female genitals, it is mostly carried out on goals between infancy and the age of 15. many are left with both immediate and long to complications precincts. these complications as

estimated to cost health systems over a $1000000000.00. every yes. okay. and the a has one of the highest levels of 50 m in the world. so it was a huge victory for activist when the country banded in 2015. but now barely a decade later, the band could be of a to can be as parliament is due to vote on a bill that will reverse the bad. now, best prospect has longed health and human rights activists in the data and worldwide the w's. i mean that to some young sent us this report from venture a, it's a, a tab you should, that would be nice. g majority is leading the discussion about female genital mutilation, of g m. it's classic cross roots. activism begins to practice, but it's a difficult conversation. i am it's revival. i seem to remember some of the things that happened to me when i was picking as, as, as

a young girl. and in this conversation, as a dis, popping, she's been the women's rights activists a long time on various issues. but now how focus is to try to save the f g m, but it is important that you hear from defend innovation and also see i'm a way of trying to, um, walk, lead us collectively. and try to convince me to do is that i from the force inside and those times that is not a bad power, is not also about um west time ideal. it is. but it is an issue that we made and guys so face with another. people have realized that it is an issue. and it is affecting a lot of people active as against f g and continue to to kristy point in communities of the bond was knocked. it because it didn't stop people from cutting out the practice, but many have never stopped working against it. but i'm both,

one of the bi listed obviously include discipline sizes, the women who kind of out of the ceremonial cutting with a brake force, which we meant for this report. but non, we'll talk on camera because what they do is illegal at the moment. here in parliament do know because happy to explain why the want to repeat the bad national assembly member as mama g, but it's a full front of the movement seeking repealed. but i 5 for the lights of what it would be and i 5 for the right of muslims on outside for the right of people who believe in that type of shows that this look in, in 2015 on guided as it was on the 17 posting service for commission by the president, the parliament took it and hands it as the law without proper consultation. the consistent ceremony started fees up electricity, country de are regarded as important cultural events. many also say f

t m is a muslim, really just practice. but not only a mom's agree from uh, trying to justify to say is uh, really just practice, which is not true. it has nothing to do with the religion because he would never increase your he slapped me. he never did. is you just allow me the as a muslim? yeah, mostly it is hum for that as well. recognized by all the international organizations and by look at a little kind of drug test it had been proof wouldn't be on, on and out. and anything helpful to a human being kind of accept it. it's allow mccully and kind of between that and so not be too late to. she says she is pretty sure the band would remain. but how what continues to make f d m sol seely, an acceptable way regardless of the law. and now to talk more about what it would mean if the, if chance that were to be reversed and that can be we have invited talk. so we saw

awesome it onto the show. she is the global coordinates. i'll see you in program on the elimination of female genital mutilation. welcome to data being use. i forget dr. estimate. we see active is in the gambia still working to convince people to stop practicing if g m. why is it proving difficult to get all communities on board to ending female genital mutilation? it is difficult because the gambia, as you know, um the f t m preference is pretty high. c l 2 for the goals under gone h t m. and the last survey shows that about half of the population is support, peaceful atm, continuation. so um there is a lot of improvements uh for a gm continuation at the moment. and i do want to get into more

about those reasons and little late to but it's talk about the band that the can be adopted on. if jim in 2015, what has this been achieved? was successful in having the band buddy it test, taking them about 9 years to enforce each the it was a good foundation to have atm interventions to be implemented. but the law itself was not enforced, and it was only last year that it was in 4th. and it's a good, a movement to change the snow, but it was not enforced since then. so what will it mean uh for young goes in the gamut is fed ban on f t m is of attend or e r y is concerned sewage. this repealed

be successful because each with the last for the countries political commitment and foundations for the existing into advances that we are conducting. so the goals, who are there would be at a higher risk to on the go as g m, as it is very, is a large burden of both. uh, there's an estimated over meeting and goes with that. i'm going to f e m and they would be more and more over the cost of the treatment of mtm. he's also estimated at $5000000.00 us the dollars annually, that is truly presentable. we are not only concerned about that i'm, i think is that on the he cases of these slowly people in the account here. but they're also worried that it would have already put the effects in the region and globally document those. so advocates a full f t m, the proponents of if jim argued that there was

a double stand because it's widely accepted for boy children to be circumcised. for example, does this arguments hold merits a yes eh, i was in the gum. yeah. about 2 weeks ago, and the do a tractable one of the just vacations for the laurie p. these to maintain cultural and religious rights. but these rights should not supercede the rights to freedom from cruelty from violence, from health for security, from the glitzy and f g m, as you know, is a violation to all of these rights. there is no health benefits to f d m. as a cultural practice, each, on the contrary, it leads to several health complications, and it appears that they are nice sort of instrument. there is all the bands,

which as the numbers reveal are not working really well. because even when there is a bad, as in the case of the gambia, if jim is still being forced on, on young goals, security, the bands are not enough on their own. what will it take to put an end to s t m? you are correct and the evidence also um supports this effect. the laws are in effect with out of community by in and acceptance effects. 6 studies have shown that in treatment of the criminalization or very galaxies around him, may rise. um if gm under ground, but it's empty and present is it in it says the height of jim prevalence and it reflects a deeply social,

a deep social norm that is supported by many members of the communities which make it very difficult for the communities to report on their payments. so you know, their mother's their father, there isn't and there's no source of protection systems to, to, to take them in. so it's quite challenging to use the laws as the only way to and if jim and, and it's, it's really the community buying at to the those that drives to en, seats yet. and does that mean when you talk about this community by and one, obviously it has to approach this issue with, with sensitivity, given the fact that it's, it's worth it, an introduction and religion as you're implying. so what are some of the nuances that, that people need to understand when you engage in communities trying to get that bite and to be able to stop, to this practice better so home full,

so young goals. yes, i mean, we have been working. yeah. some governments through civil societies through actually this really just leaders to have dialogues with the parents of what we've really just leaders and, and evolving other players like health workers. heritage occasions using media like what you're using today and social marketing to try the norms and the attitudes, but this all should be done. and in a new one, respect for a culturally sensitive approach. having at the center of each of the people themselves, leading these initiatives and championing each and these efforts are not one or at home basis. they have to be continuous engagement with the community on a long term basis. stuff. so a cell estimate,

we appreciate your time. thank you very much. to kind of really now with no coal fishes claim they are being pushed out of business by giant, industrial troll is who are illegally fishing in their voices. they say they face attacks when out, etc. and officials are ignoring their plight. no chinese vessels all reported to be at the heart of the problem with allegations that these boats don't find a local regulations and are often lift to fish and checked. the state of these plays a on reports now from limby on the coast in southwest come, or what do you see that long? she eats and i can, has been of patient since the middle of the night, but he's net is to empty up to 7 us. i'd see autism official men in the region see

the cartridge, i guess is smaller and smaller for a while. i see want to see it's very difficult to catch even a single fish nowadays. just look at the boat. it's empty, really? it's in the, there's nothing here for us. just look at all i've had for today. it's very little and it will hardly fetch me any money. no bit of money. these local fishermen are struggling as far in vessels. i floated the ocean. this is i'm unhealthy competition on the way just of coverage shows. oh, not a just the chinese, the chinese vessels and other vessels that have come around here fishing massively, including for prawns. they fish constantly without stopping to allow the fish to reproduce. back on the see show. people rush to buy the car, but most of the boots have come back almost empty. when the bed has just returned

from the ocean is beneficial month for 25 years. the recently business has been slower than ever. he believes or reveal it, that's patient for the decline. right, so i'm not then we're, the government tells us which sorts of nets to use the fishing issue. but the forward is don't follow the guidelines and use that. i know they use the romance which kills even the smallest fish where the mx and that affects the reproduction of fish in the ocean. do, do we complains about this to the governments. but the government doesn't take proper action to measure. let me complain the phone is go to meet the authorities and have the money our complaints very flexible side on those, the problems we're dealing with last year, the europeans, you know, commission imported bond on impulse, so please do products quoting, come on with us all by vessels so you start to you citing the contest, lack of cooperation in the fight against illegal or reported. no related fiction.

you don't see must do much, has changed. color loses more than $30000000.00. i'm only familiar, go more efficient. the country in ports around a $160000000.00 worth of fish issue many peach tree does before been put out of business due to the cost of fish. chinese 2, let's continue deficient areas has up a small scale the shipment. these results and conflict all the time, nothing to the drum when it happens all the time when the chinese c u, n. c. and they want to seize your net and other equipment and you decide to confront them. the army protecting them shows up with guns. the soldiers will start shooting at you. i will say you've just got to get away from them as quickly as possible because of a fisherman is killed. no one will be held accountable. it's a loss for the fisherman's family. some attacks and see are very common and if you

speak about it to the authorities, nothing happens to the chinese act as a fate own cameron's water, the bike. i mean, we'll see the most, you know, government official instructor features in this region denies all the claims made by the fisherman or he says, so isn't the fishes unfolding boards having fun in violation of government resolutions control is been doing at all levels in order to come back this i, you, you fission. yes. color one is on the, to doing the drug drug i can, we are fighting to do from there that zone maybe to the, you know, what? not the, the, the reason. because presently, as we speak, there's going to in the sea. as i thought it, a windows for the salon. we don't let them know when we are entering. they see

it's him is back from the ocean, but with not enough fish. like order. i just went off the shipment in the region. it doesn't have much hope for the foreseeable future. it thinks the like vase for millions of internet users across africa, i tools like check g, p t o even google translate. awesome to use this because they don't support their local language, but they're all solutions out there. and there are among the topics were discuss that this is global media for him, posted by dw, in the german city of fun. it's an event which unless that content creation has from around the world come together to talk about issues from censorship and democracy to media trends and challenges to as well as check. i had those was a speaker at the cs global media for him. he is the co founder of a bell and base startup that is developing machine translation products for if you

pin language is welcome to the w news africa estimate i. so you to pods in a conversation about in a policy within a 2 official intelligence. the premise was that rich countries are enjoying most of the benefits of the technology. well, developing countries face challenges. why is that? yeah, because uh, great question. so if we look at the range of applications that day, i just touching on this days is pretty much everywhere. the one that excites me the most is the internet in particular, or the web. and if you lose god search and james or social media sites there are increasingly powered by the system. so we may not notice it. but when we type in keywords, we are looking for information. there's a little a i, this is doing, you know, various tasks in the background. and unfortunately, and as you described it well in, in the question, it's

a handful of languages that gets served by this technology these days. the languages that happened to be from, you know, developing countries such as the language in africa are usually underserved. and the reason is because of the companies behind, you know, these, the technologies are a handful of multinational corporations that are based out of silicon valley. and so for them, they're not priorities. and so these languages and the, you know, the ada supports them gets left behind. i understood so, so we're seeing the sort of language bias which, which you, in a sense all trying to reverse with the sauce up that you've co founded. you're working with artificial intelligence at tell us about the aim of, of the product that you're developing and who. yeah, exactly. you're targeting as, as the market. absolutely. so we are listening. yeah. i and the sun,

we've built the most advancing machine transportation systems for language starting was my native language if the green a and i'm heart and we're soon adding more languages and our mission has been to make the web accessible for millions of people in their lives. in their native language, the amys really, you know, as i said, the internet types, you know, a multitude of our, our lives. and by creating machine translation and other related technologies, we hope to make the web accessible for people who wouldn't have wouldn't enjoy the benefits of the web otherwise. right. i know you particularly in with you all started working in the educational space. could you speak a little bit more about the, the possibilities that a i office us particularly as it pertains to the education space. oh, absolutely. um i might say education was so close to hard when i got started was a son. and if i make sure like a small personal answer they would or story. as soon as we developed our,

our machine transportation system. so english figuring out was really listen was the 1st in the world really. and the 1st organization we reached out to wish we could p. yeah, because we treat it contains the world's information as they put in their timeline . unfortunately, they didn't kind of like want to collaborate, was less on. so we didn't have like a tight integration of our system. we could p. yeah. but uh, i think this is an exciting area where we would like to support content creators in education to be supported with a tool such as translation and automatic speech recognition. well that's, that's an incredible story and it's been really good talking to you as slash. that's as little as stick ahead. good. talking to us the we appreciate your time. thank you so much for helping me. the
