7:30 am
the electron mobility i'm screen revolution global. so listen to all kinds of problems. to fix your thoughts on the topics. breast of those channels . we've got new videos every friday, subscribed to plan. it's a this is date up. do you use that for tech coming up on the program, special to and if g m activists in cam via all campaigning hot as a moving vote in parliament, could see the country's ban on female genital mutilation. listed. it's a tough fights. there were strong supports in the country to continue the harmful practice. post is coming up in cameron route. 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
7:31 am
most expensive sheet home and spend a go there is 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 goals 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 sustained. many
7:32 am
are left with both immediate and long term complications, praising these complications as estimated to cost health systems over a $1000000000.00. every yes. okay, and this is 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 votes on the bill that will reverse the bad. now, best prospect has longed health and human rights activists in the gambia and worldwide the w's. i mean that to some young sent us this report from venture that is uh, a tab dish and that would be nice. team with georgie is leading the discussion about female genital mutilation. of g m. it's classic cross, so it's activism begins to practice. but it's a difficult conversation. i am
7:33 am
a supervisor. 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 activist for 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, read all of us collectively, and try to convince me with those that are from that of course, inside put on those times, that is not a bad power. is not also about i'm, i'm with some idea like this, but it is an issue that we made and guys so face we have not the people have the allies. that of them is an issue. and it is a victim. a lot of people who we should've as active as against f g and continue to talk with people in communities. but the bond was in locked it because it didn't stop people from cutting out the practice,
7:34 am
but many have never stopped working against it. but i'm both, one of the bind listed obviously include discipline sizes, the women who kind of out of the ceremonial cuts in with a foot 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 use of the full front of the movement seeking to repeal the bad. i 5 for the lights of the world. it would be about 5 for the light of muslims on outside for the night of people who believed in that type of shows that this locking in 2015 on guided as it was on the 17 posting that serves for commission by the president, the parliament tickets and hands as the law, without proper consultation. the consistent ceremony started fees up across the country. they are regarded as important cultural funds. many also say f
7:35 am
t m is a muslim, really just practice, but not only a moms agree from uh, trying to justify. uh saying is uh, really just practice which is not true. it has nothing to do with the religion because he never increase your he slapped me t, it never did issue or just allow me the, as a muslim guy, mostly it is hum for that as well. recognized by all the international organizations in, by, located, located up does it have been proof will be on, on and out and editing home for a human being kind of accept it. it's allow mccully and kind of between that and so not be too late to she is she is free to show the band would remain venue. but how what continues to make f g m. sol seely, unacceptable way, regardless of digital. and now to talk more about what it would mean if the,
7:36 am
if ga and band were to be reversed and that can be, we have in fights with ducks. that was how awesome it onto the shows 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 gm, why is it proving difficult to get all communities on board to ending female genital mutilation. the ease uh these, the codes because the gambia as you know, um the f t and preference is pretty high c l 2 for the goals undergoing h d m. and the last survey shows that about half of the population is supportive of atm continuation. so there is a lot of improvements uh for a gm continuation at the moment. and i do want to get into more
7:37 am
about those reasons and a little later, but it's talk about the band that the can be adopted on. if jim in 2015, what has this been achieved? was successful and having the band buddy it test, taking them about 9 years to enforce each. so the, it was a good foundation to have if jim interventions to be implemented. but the law itself was not enforced, and it was only last year that it was in 4th and $83.00 good, a movement, 2 times in the snow, but it was not enforced since then. so what will it mean uh for young goes in the gamut. if that band on, if t m is of attend,
7:38 am
the e r y is concerned suits 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 undergo sdn 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 is cm, 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 unless you keep them a few cases of these slowly be in the gum here, but they're also worried that it would have already put the effects in the region and globally document those. so advocates
7:39 am
a full f t m. the proponents of if jim argue 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 we talked about one of the just vacations with the lauren key that used to maintain a cultural and religious rice. 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 these rights. there is no health benefits to f d m as a culture in parentheses. on the contrary, it leads to several health complications. and it appears that they are nice sort of
7:40 am
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 g m is still being forced on, on young goals. so clearly 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 supports this effect. the laws are in effect without a community of buying and acceptance effects. 6 studies have shown that in treatment of the criminalization or very galaxies around in may rise, um if gm under crowns, but it's empty and frivolous in it says the height of jim prevalence and
7:41 am
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 mothers, their fathers and, and there are no source of protection systems to, to, to take them in. so it's quite challenging to use the law. ready as the only way to and is g m and, and it's, it's really the community buying at to the, those that drives a to n feet yet. and does that mean when you talk about this community by and one obviously has to approach this issue with, with sensitivity, given the fact that it's, it's rooted, 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
7:42 am
bite and to be able to stop to this practice that is so harmful to young goals? yes, i mean, we have the word key. yeah. some government, exclusive of societies through i see 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 these old should be done and you know, no one's respect for a culturally sensitive approach. having at the center of each of the people themselves, leading these initiatives and championing it. and these efforts are not one or at home bases. they have to be continuous engagement with the community on
7:43 am
a long term basis. stuff. so a cell estimate, we appreciate your time. thank you very much. to kind of rude. now. we're a local fishes came. they are being pushed out of business by giant, industrial troll is who are illegally fishing in their voices. they say they face attacks, went out, etc, and the officials are ignoring their plight. now, chinese vessels all reported to be at the house of the problem with allegations that these boats don't fund a local regulations and often lift to fish and checked the state up. use place a on reports now from limby on the coast in southwest cameron. what do you see that lowest? it's an i can, has been off fishing since the middle of the night. but he's net is to empty up to
7:44 am
7 us. i've see. i choose an official man in the region. see the cartridge, i get is smaller and smaller. swear why? so you want to see it's very difficult to catch even a single fish nowadays. just look at the boat. it's empty. really thoughts in the day? 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. i'm only these local fishermen struggling us for in vessels i flooded the ocean. this is i'm unhealthy competition on the way. just of coverage shows, no, not 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 rushed to buy the car. but most of the boots have come back almost and
7:45 am
when the cooler bit has just returned from the ocean is beneficial month for 2 to 5 years. the recently business has been slower than ever. he believes already believed attribution for the decline that so i'm not done with the government tells us which sorts of nets to use this fishing decision. but the forward is don't follow the guidelines and use that. i know they use the romance which kills even the smallest fish with the mx, and that affects the reproduction of fish in the ocean. we complains about this to the government, but the government doesn't take proper action. mitchell, when he complained the phone is going to meet the authorities, 49 and had the money. our complaints very flexible side on those. the problems with dealing with last year, the europeans, you know, commission import a bond on impulse. so please do products calling coming with us all by vessel. so you start citing the contest,
7:46 am
lack of cooperation in the fight against illegal or reported on a related fission that you don't see must do much has changed. the color loses more than $30000000.00 annually. for me to go more efficient, the quantity imports around a $160000000.00 worth of fish each year. many street as before, been put out of business, discuss it with of fish. chinese tools continue deficient areas, your zip, a small scale fisherman. these results and conflict all the time. nothing of 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
7:47 am
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 me, will see the most, you know, government official instructor features in this region denies all the claims made by the fisherman. he says, so it isn't the officials and for him what's happening, phone in violation of government resolutions control is been going up all levels in order to come back this i you, you fission. yes. color one is under the zone. 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 c, as i told you, that we just bought the salon. we don't let them know when we are entering the seat
7:48 am
. it's him is back from the ocean, but with not enough fish. like order i just one of 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 translates 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 we're discuss that this is global media for him, posted by dw, in the german city, a fun. it's an event which unless then content creation is from around the world come together to talk about issues from censorship and democracy to media, trends and challenges as well. i should take, i had to was a speaker at the cs global media for him. he is the co founder of
7:49 am
a bell and face startup that is developing machine translation products for a few pen language is welcome to dw in east africa estimate i. so you took part in a conversation about in a policy within a t special 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, that's a 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 look at search engines or social media sites, they're 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, hey i, this is doing, you know, various tasks in the background. um and unfortunately,
7:50 am
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 language in africa are usually underserved. and the reason is because of the companies behind, you know, the c, i. 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 and display it so, so we're seeing the sort of language bias which, which you, in a sense all trying to reverse with the stuff 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 are absolutely. so we are listening. yeah. i and the son
7:51 am
we built the most advanced industry and transportation systems for language starting was my native language of degrees 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, in their native language of the image. 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? absolutely. 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, david or story,
7:52 am
as soon as we develop 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 pdf because which contains the world's information as they put in their timeline. unfortunately, they didn't kind of like want to collaborate with, listen, 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 mulash. that as well as stick ahead, good talking to us the we appreciate your time. thank you so much for having me.
