action to protect the future welfare of mankind. experts now say greenhouse gas levels in our atmosphere reached record levels last year . a string of awareness raising events have been held this monday marking the u. n. backed international day foror eliminating violence agagainst w women. here in frane ththe government's has unveiled the sins of new measures aimed at tackling the issue in a land where association say at least a hundred and thirty eight women. being killed by the current or former partner since january alone the prime minister hopes these changes on the accompanying three hundred and sixty million euros worth of funding will prove to be an electric shock. surely sebelum explains. one of the main

problems that have led to so much violence against women is that police often don't take seriously victims call for help. the government suggests training officerers in hiring extra personnel dedicated to domestic violence an emergency hotline will be available twenty four seven. as you know half of men who call that number requests to leave their homes. we can confirm that a thousand new dwellings will be available for that purpose by january twenty twenty they don't get the media. in other cases of tortilla force attackers to leave their homeses and get treatment in special centers. authorities could confiscate weapons the new rules would also allow doctors to flag cases of domestic abuse. but some feminist activists see those measures are far from enough. long lastingg for at least five hundred men in euros not

because we wantnt to ask for a high figure we want them because those fivivhundred million would help offer two thousand housing units for womemen and special centers that would help women file the right documents. and get all the necessary assistance they should exist in all areas but they don't just about. still mulling ship off the gender equality minister told france twenty four that the plan is ambitious. well that's about it all measures are l linked to training teachers to detect sexist idedeas that come o one y lead to violence is part of the fight against violence does affect them. about three hundred and seventeen in euros will be spent on measures tackling violence directly more than one billion on all measures fighthting for gender equality. what more we cann head now t t. new york can speak to- cedric dnia the deputy executive director for the u. n.n. women thank you very much for being with us here on a

france twenty four this hour. and i wanted to ask you a firstt question about fronts in the new measures- unveils here this monday how significance allll they- in your view do they go far enough. at i think. it sounds like event- hate a holistic lower witith a range of measures and we know that that. is that the best kind of packages where you both. touched upon the health system social services police and judicial systems- schools for them to both work together. and also to work better individually because if you want to tackle this pro problem you have to work with both prevention protection. and it just stays at and as far as i understand it the snow will has a holistic view is so i really hope it would work and both. hinder at level sosoeans unityt.

this type of violence affects women of all ages all backgrounds around the world eaeach year how important is it to hold this u. n. back day every twelve months. it's important especially in countries where this topic does not come up so often otherwise and the problem of violence against women doesn't just come out of thin air. it is man or as it even sometimes teenage boys and men who are violence against women at close to them normally. and this is a huge problem around the world and it goes for. all countntries or regions and regardless of income and it said. so this is a very important day to raise their rights all the women to leave a lives p pretty allll violence. now how has you and women- mocks the shihin what kid of work doo. you do through the

rest of the year to better protect women. we work with this on three different levels we work together with the whole you in system and we see to it that the u. n. as the system speaks with. one voice and that we do this wherever we are also in peacekeeping at spectrum. we work also from young women side in eighty countries on the ground on a daily basis together with governments in those countries and to geget their r with the women's rights activist. but for measureres of the kind that we just. and we also work sadly all normative agenda to always remind but women already have these rights. and that they have to be implemented by governments they have to be implemented they have to come with budgets. and the violence issues will never been be solved unless we work on with the whole the gender equality agenda. so we do t this on t three different levels every day. . just a final question- in your view how much longer will we have to hold such a wellness rate raising

days through until- the world changes in this type of violence actually ends. right now we see that the they levels of awareness are actuallyy better p pricing and we see that the rhetoric sir actually and a much more wet weather the talk is there and actors are much more. and it and it but where than before however implementation and reality is far too slow at so i think that- countries governments at other decision makers it's good that they talk but they really also have to walk now we need more action more funding and more seriousness in reality around this. is if say the in roads have b. h. to subtext. and since the me two movovements emerged. that was a very very important movement and very courageous women who can came forward with their testimonies and i think that really changed the way we understand the daily

abuse and harassment from men in relation to women. and i think that has has made about created a bigger understanding for the support of gender equality issues- we also next year from this would be an important year since that the president my crown on the governmental frost. and has agreed to host an event on gender equality together with you when women on them and government of mexico. and i think that that an example of. a breakthrough read before andrew quality at an arab deeper d dialogue on women's rights. okay a second. from you and women in new york thank you very much for being with us. thank you. moving o on hong kong's embattled leaeader has told c city dwellelers that. yeh carrie lam has promised to listen to the views of voices and seriously reflect after a record 71% of the electorate turned out to pick its next to district counselors on sunday. about ballots has been described as a democratic

tag- thomason has been sort of i think pretty much. invented you when agencies in a bid to sort of give a symbolic quality on a viral quality to this message of eliminating violence against women and so one of the- initiatives is for monuments run the world to be little in orange and hearing about the french senate. i here in front of you can see various examples on social media. you justice here our culture media pointing to that money can pass the symbol of brussels that you can ever really say without- feeling a bit awkward at that's in geneva the j. dole. symbol of geneva also lit up in arms not sure how that about but it's impressive. and the openness in buenos aires- press we should ignore the fact that noblest because of alexx symbol but you know of course everybody can get behind at women's rights. and or not this is it a blue the hologram. against the terrorists w who brbrought the actual statute tht in afghanistan you might remember that. there were these large. statues of buddha that were at destroyed several years

back and so this is a holographic recreation all of. that in orange- there you go i'm sure but it would support a message to. and so also a- i mean if you depending on what country look at this. the rear he has a lot of coverage of this from different perspectives in senegal. hi there ed there's a hashtag at. and a whole instead of around stopping harassment. and on the front porch. and something that we've seen in europe over the over previous years so. different elemements of the who. debate about women's rights and eliminating. one source. getting convention in depending on. where where you are. also in- in senegal did you know that rapape iss not actually a crime. it's a lesser offense none of the daily in the french- legal system so. obviously a lot of people keen to seat rape being criminalized- it would indeed. be a program a mark of progress. and violence against women this is an interesting one the world food program getting together with this- italian actress at. nora up was

easy and cheap points about how points at the fact that zero hunger. is something that actually come matches quite well with men and women in the same. resources and the same voices in all decisions. just adds and you know eek the economics in general there's an understanding increasing understand given. giving phones to women to set up their. economic initiatives is actually something that could see economies benefits in ways that are hard to predict now but- women control the purse strings a lot of situations so. at lots s of different elements to the story in any case comes okay next- nigeria's fighting back against a false information that's been circulating on social media. free speech advocates on of the last words. that's right so you remember a couple days ago we had such a barn colin and- hissing ivs of facebook saying this. in a very dramatic language that would let hitler by on for the final solution but it put the spotlight on. dot dot recurrence debate about hate speech. allieies news whatever. you wanna call it on so for me well databases also

peppers in the- at the public space on in in nigeria indeed legislation making its way through the parliament. and thth article p points out. you see at second reading despite a public outcry and there has been a public outcry this bin. and over seventy thousand people signing a petition to stop the social media bill there's a real fear that could be used as a means of clamping down on freedom of expression- this is one. nigerian singer. seem to think this so for me real is worrisome were used to taking everything so lightly. i doubles was understand the implications of. if it gets past. freedom of speech is almost all the power we've also this is a fear that it could be used- inappropriately. and in a manner that would actually- you know content on frfree speech. and finally james mediawatch there'ss been n lots of reactios to the- circled. the china cables revelations issue course leaked. on sunday. that's right the entrance committee for investigative. journalists at the or key to sort of at. at bringing all of this together and they've been treating various different details over

the fact that there's a there's a point system in these. in these centers in order to. punishments and rewards. so very orwellian sort of details emerging at this is a- canadian journalist what what what what was working on the story. i'm trying to tracks uighurs abroad and ususes family to control thm so this detail that's emerging in being. a detailed on social we spoke to several weeks. at here who are for this will be coming. to my fear for the for. in china. and. the storm comes in any f. replica. m. keeping people at a fear eight in living in fear even when they're outside of china china this is a- david with its of amnesty international. the china cables add color to an already horrific picture because of course. . news of ths has been tripping out for years now. a million people detained a secret program to raise an entire cultural identity the pictures here the real question is what more will. try to. not because the ministry. has alalready said. that what's

happening in gin chang is purely china's internal affairs in other worords talk would d oy wantnt. one officer going g to. change a anything. okay james greeted with a mededia watch thank you very much. okay i'm back with you after this break with more world news here on fronts twenty forty stay with us if you can
