upcycling in delhi. we learn about an initiative that's creating much-needed employment opportunities and clearing up the city. in ourur new series "work plac" we find out just how much potential disused ips stilill have to offer. and we head to a pioneering restaurant in marrakesh where womemen are being helped to eara living and lead self-determined lives. caring for children, looking after sick relatives, doing the housework such tasks are still overwhelmingly the domain of

women and girls. according to the non-profit group oxfam, every day around 12 billion hours of such work are undertaken worldwide. all of it is unpaid. men, on the other hand, are commonly paid for the work they do. in germany, 72 percent of women have paid employment. the eu average is 67 percent. while in morocco that figure is just 21 percent. the country's strong patriarchal traditions make it hard for women to achieve financial independence. hard, though not impossible. >> when fatima zahara makes tea in the morning, her mother and sisters are still asleep. she's the only who has to leave early, because she's the only one who has work. her father died when she was very young. families without any males in the household often face an

uphill struggle in morrocco. when her mother ran out of money, fatima zahara had to leave e school. >> "if you don't have a father, or at least brothers, people say: what does she expect to achieve in life? it's over for her. but i'm not settling for t tha. i'm going to make something of myself." fatima zahara's journey to work takes an hour and a half. but she doesn't mind. this job is her big opportunity, because it includes training. at the women's restaurant, amal, the day begins with prayers for the trainees and their cooking instructors. it's a moment of a quiet before the work begins. today it's fatima zahara's turn to bake bread. the others get to work peeling vegetables and cutting up meat. the trainees include single mothers, widows and former house servants; women who have very

little standing in moroccan society. this instructor is divorced. something which carries a strong social stigma but that no longer bothers her. >> "now i have my own money. everything's changed. as a divorced woman, i didn't even dare take the bus on my own before." >> in addition to the practical training, the women are taught food science as well as french and english. the teachers say many of the trainees are shy at fifirst. they hunch their shoulders and avoid eye contact. but then they gradually start to realize they have no reason to be ashshamed. >> "i feel like ththrough the le and support that they receive here, and that thecreate foror each other in a sense, they come into their bodies in a way and they begin to smile and to carry themselves in a certain way, with a certain posture."

for many women here, life is not easy. we've come to an advice centre on the edge of marrakesch. a woman who was the victim of a knife attack three years ago tells the social worker how a stranger started pestering her. when she brushed him off, he cut her face. he also slashed the tendons in her hand. the woman managed to get back on her feet, but she still suffers pain. and to make matters worse, many people tell her it was own fault. >> "i often hear things like, you must have put on too much makeup or made yourself attractive. you provoked him. it's not true." >> not all the cases here involve physical violence. but one thing is clear: women who don't keep to traditional roles are often marginalized. equality of the sexes has been anchored in the morroccan constitution for the past eight years.

but the unwritten laws, the expectations placed on women haven't changed much. >> "women these days have a lot of fancy ideas. they want to go to europe, go shopping. no one wants to live like we used to." >> "if a woman leaves the house to go to work,k, she has no protection. and men could takeke advantagef that. >> "i ththink it's ok for a won to work. but it's better if she stays at home, especially when there are children. who's going to look after the children otherwise?" >> around midday, the first guests arrive at the amal restaurant and the kitchen starts to hum. the menu always includes traditionanamorroccan tajine. under the wahful eye of her instructor, fatima zahara is learning how to perfect the slow-cooked stew.

"she really wants to get on and make something of her life. at first she was very shy. but she's slowly getting there. we're very happy with her." >> the training lasts between six and nine months. the requirements are stringent. the school has high standards the requirements are stringent. the school has high standards when it comes to punctuality, hygiene, discipline and respononsibility. there's always one trainee who drops out. but those who complete the training nearly always go on to find permanent work. the non-profit organization finances the training using proceeds from the restaurant. it also runs a catering service and cooking courses for the public. >> "morrocco was missing sosomething like this. they've e really filled a nice with this idea. the women have the opportunity to find work, and respectable work too." >> "it's nice to find opportunities to support the local l culture, and in this ce helplp women become more independent and more empowered and we get to have a nice lunch along the way." >> during her training, fatima zahara earns 100 euros a month.

as far as her family's concerned, that's a lot of money. she proudly shows where she burned herself in the kitchen at work. her mother is suitably impressed. "she's such a brave girl. she's always had lots of plalas but i cocould never have paid r it myself." "every time i hurt myself i learn something new. it'll soon heal anywyway. and one day i will have made it." >> once she's finished her training, fatima zahara plans to work a and save up money. eventually she hopes to open her own restaurant. she says amal hasn't just taught her to cook. it's also taught her to live. >> two worlds with close economic ties: europe and asia! how do they address soal justste? what are working conditions like?

we visit eight countries on oo coinenents tfind o out h europe and asia work together. in our new series: work places! >> there's always plenty going on at chittagong harbor. almost all of bangladesh's foreign trade flows through here. the port city is known all over the world as a vast graveyard for ships.s. it's also a a place where more d more ships are being builtlt fr the ininternatioional market . ththe western mamarine shipyars one e of the l largest in te country. it was founded 20 years ago.

sohail: "we have hundreds of thousands of bangladeshi engineers, workers, welders, working in different shipbuilders around the world, whom we can attract here. some of them want to work at home rather than working overseas all their life. >> today, some 150 thousand people work in shipbuilding in the country. around two million bangladeshis are thought to depend on the sector. that figure could soon see a significant rise. after all, the demand for new ships is growing. the global shipping fleet is ageing. and somemef the ships that havee taken their last voyage end up here. galloo ghent in brussels turns them back into raw materials. europe's biggest ship recycler can take any vessel to pieces. whether war ship, fishing trawler or russian sub.

98 percent of a vessel is recycled here. it's an economic sector that appears to have a bright future in europe. >> "the eu trieied to change the waway of recycling ships. so they wanted to prevent european ships from being brought to asia. thatat's what they said: look, every eu flagged ship we want to be recycled on a place that we have licensed, so today we've got i think 26 eu yards, 3 turkish yard andndne us yard that have this licicense." >> the eu ship recycling regulation has been in place since 2019. it stipulates that all ships now sailing under a european flag can only be broken up under strictly controlled environmental and working conditions. supervising how the regulation is carried out however, is left up to the individual member states. the laws were triggered by the apappalling workrking condition asia. ten years ago, a thousand people on average were being injured

here every month. but the western marine shipyard has taken steps to drastically reduce the number of accidents at the facility. the company now even has its own infirmary. >> "we n need to follow the safy regulations to stay safe. handgloves, earplugs, all these safety guards have to be considered. and if we work high we have a safety belt. and d all together if we follw the rules the place is not risky, it's safe!" repoporter: "is he always usig it, all that?" mohammed: "god willing, yes, of course." >> despite the rules, not everyone wears a safety harness when they're off the ground. sohail: "we can enforce very strictly but it is more like a culture.

it takes time for them to adapt, you know, i would still not accept any lapses, you know, denial is not the answer." in belgium, all 50 workers at the recycling facility wear helmets, fire-resistant clothing, and gas masks when necessary. most of the crane operators, welders and metalworkers aren't permanent staff members at galloo; they're onon contract. in spite of all the heavy-duty machinery, many things in the yard still have to be done by hand. jens van waes is on his feet all day. it's his job to ensure everyone is obeying the safetety regulations. jens: employees are given training on how to incinerate and clean materials. many subcontractors also work for us. and they also have all the necessary qualifications.

>> the belgian company has developed its own eco-friendly ship recycling process. it exports 850 thousand tons of scrap metal every year to asia among other places. that material is then used to build new ships. the shipyard in chittagong has already built and sold ships in germany and denmark, as well as to companies in india, kenya and many other countries. that makes the workers here proud. >> "those who work in a job like this in bangladesh, they do it with a lot of enthusiasm. especially when you do it for so long. we all became a big family here at the company." >> his boss has big plans for the future. sosohail: "the shipypyard is at full. we have a few orders in the pipeline.

our projections for the next couple of years: we would rather step into higher value products, than what we are building now"" >> the government is also promoting ships "made in bangladesh", and supporting the industry with subsidies, investments and favorable bank loans. in just five years, it's hoped ship exports will generate four billion us dollars in the country annually. with morbelgium either.de, the wery ship has to be retired at some point. jens: "i've worked here one year as a crane operator r and i've looked everywhere. it's great to be here. i love my job. we recycle everyrything. it's great!"
