In india sex with a minor is now a punishable offense even within marriage women over eighteen though are still very much at the mercy of their husbands. That this woman cant go to the courts and her family doesnt understand her problem thats why shes come to this Womens Support Center prio is in her early twenties the mother of two was forced into an arranged marriage six years ago since then shes been tormented and abused by her own husband.

Sometimes i wouldnt be able to sit down for days or move without pain.

So rush is now divorced her exhusband cheated on her with his own daughter in law. But nevertheless he still wanted to have sex with me. And even though i refused him. He got drunk hit me raped me repeatedly i ran away so me to watch a telly is a womens rights activist from delhi who supports victims of abuse she can find women new jobs or a new place to live but she cant give them justice husbands who forced their wives to have sex with them are technically not breaking the law in india. It is easy the basis for this is the patriarchal tradition here in the us thats a woman is viewed as the property of her father business after she is married she becomes the property of her husband she has no autonomy she has to comply or shell be. The film lipstick under my book focuses on these issues on womens aspirations and fear is. Just what the film was initially banned in india by the censorship authorities its director says it hit a little too close to home. But i do feel that there is theres a high level of. Abuse weve been weve been mad you we didnt really ship thought somewhat differently with the magic that. It becomes very difficult because youre always stored. In the future that could be another option the legal one Indias Supreme Court decided to hold a hearing on the issue not long ago it bans child marriages is the next step to finally criminalize marital rape. Even at this respected and progressive Womens University in delhi opinion is divided. On many here say they would welcome a new law others argue it could be misused. They have seen many cases registered bedroom in have you they write these dowdy is in order in and they get their way and misuse them this is an issue something which is very. Hard i mean its you know i was. We one. Is hiding and. On the day of the hearing and other womens rights activists came to the court maybe then unwelcome news. The hearing was postponed to a later date so it was in the budget ali says thats not a necessarily a bad sign. But we have to be Patient Society is not going to change so quickly above all what has to stop is the belief that women are essentially mens property that wont happen overnight even with a new law. But it would be a step in the right direction even if the Supreme Court takes its time with the ruling victims and activists campaigning for change are confident it will ultimately make the right decision in womens favor. With. This week english day as we are in south africa where we meet women striving for climate justice. Once upon a time johannesburg was the city of gold for a decade. Hundreds of companies mind the precious metal there. Today all thats left of the mines are hundreds of imposing slag heaps many of them right next door to residential areas i reporter Stephanie Murray went to see waiting to meet a dedicated environmental activist. This barren wasteland is one of the mine dumps found in and around south africas biggest city johannesburg the soil here is full of toxins like arsenic lead and radioactive uranium the heavy rains and dust storms that have become more frequent in recent years have spread the gun terminations especially around the way and its neighboring townships. Thats led. To become an environmental activist educating people about the Health Hazards posed by the mind. Shes invited us to her family home in soweto where her older sister and two nephews live dealy knows that here and vajra mental issues like Climate Change are also socially serious. Change is viewed as an environmental change however its encompasses everything its a development. You find when we look at it impacts of Climate Change and how one can know its the most vulnerable. To be really grew up under the racist Apartheid Regime back then mining debbie was dumped directly next to the townships where black people lived at a safe distance from affluent white suburbs. Present young girl she saw how much more vulnerable the poor and disadvantaged were to environmental problems. Women suffered doubly not only were they exposed to the hazards in a deeply entrenched patrie our society. Women have fewer choices and fewer means to protect themselves. But men could dictate a womans fate was a notion to really grow up with. Traditional you know when a man gets near and theyre looking to get employ is a fair sport. But when i came out in the five birds the then my father said after i had enough. Thats the minimum of my new d. V. D. Ive had enough. Division he was the third of four daughters. Her father was a proud man who took good care of his family. Yet he was also deeply traditional. He saw no value in educating girls. If i told my mom that hes not going to take to university because he feels is wasting his money because we will go to school then start working but we working for another family because well get married and work for someone else or another family so here rather than four invests in boys of a get so that. You know i think its sort of. Inspired to me to look into this huge. Defeat lee did study anyway earning the money she needed as a bank teller and later as a marketer at a big national newspaper. She got more and more involved in community work. Eventually she quit her job and organized environmental cleanup campaigns in some way to see her. Today did really is the south africa coordinator for the gender into a Climate Change initiative the Global Network evaluates and monitors the gender components of climate protection strategies in cities around the world project workshop in johannesburg the coordinators share the experiences and challenges faced by women in their countries in india for instance many poor families cant afford the security of a basic life insurance. Is of course to be. So when they were the men go out to sea and when they were there are storms and theyve gone back to the woman who. Called for their business and. So the burden on them is increased and banks. In south africa the Initiative Works together with two cities. And johannesburg. Really is especially interested in introducing Climate Smart urban agriculture. In johannesburg stuber park an abandoned greenhouse has now become a community garden. The cooperative grows vegetables and medicinal herb. Alternatively the project provides work for two formally jobless women. So it is at the end to be used only. In the area with the. House to take care of this space. With the changing climate agricultural practices. I have to change to the project teaches Women Farmers how to adapt sustainably in order to ensure income and Food Security in the future. So. That was. Making themselves heard by policymakers remains a big challenge. The City Government had agreed to renovate the green arrows but cut the funding but the last minute. Its still a long way to. Raise and i want voice. Commenting and. To. Make accommodations identify with it. Its work that takes strength and perseverance and. Has plenty of both. More disease corruption and starvation those are some of the images that come to mind when people think of africa but theres an effective antidote to such stereotypes movies made in africa by africans nigeria leads the way when it comes to Film Production last year alone more than fifteen hundred movies were made in nollywood most of them produced by Small Companies on d. V. D. Using cheap equipment and amateur actors cinema is a pretty rare in africa on average theres just one for every Million People and until now theres been little funding for big budget films but thats about to change the African Union has ambitions it wants to boost the continents Film Industry profits to twenty billion dollars and create twenty million jobs at the same time a new kenyan film was shown. At this years barely not a film festival. Need an up and coming movie star. Thank. You for that this movie is back and that. Was specially plays the lead in supermodel which recently premiered at the Berlin Film Festival writing. The story of jo who loves action films and dreams of being a superhero. Shes terminally ill and has come home from the hospital to die. Her sister tries to keep her spirits up first. Ok i get. The whole village plays along they all stop in their tracks joes mission is to catch a thief. Live. Now. In the end the fantasy is not the point its a fact that she found her voice inside of that and instead of a village to be something everyone has a living inside of them. Just need to discover. The message maybe universal but the story is set in a village in kenya the film was shot near nairobi and the dialogue is in swahili. Theres plenty of local color and specific cultural references. Films from africa rarely find large audiences outside the continent. And you know the african cinema. Thats unique style. Is very different for a from what the the west would do here from the environment to the language cultural to the lifestyle of the people most of the tourists cultural and to every order you know spices reports or because of films and so thats what were trying to shore to the world has ever even at african filmmakers come to International Film festivals to present their work and make contacts like here at the band the knowledge. At the same time many of them dont want to replicate conventional western filmmaking but create alternative visions and i would love to see more african film is made by africans i think the vast majority of African Films that go into the mainstream circuit are actually made by europeans written by europeans they usually have a white savior somewhere in them and. Weve made it a mission to try and change the us. The villagers make shows last wish come true. To make a film and star in it before she dies. The Film Industry is in its infancy in many african countries. For some years now filmmakers in africa have received support from the german Economic Cooperation and Development Ministry and the d. W. Academy it offers workshops for directors screen writers camera operators and producers more than a thousand people from eighteen countries have taken part so far including members of the team that made supermoto. Its a country box so strong to resolve the generals goals set the level of in filmmakers because what it does that it just isnt officially to work on a much but the production data would ordinarily be able to because we have a bigger crew of the budget up to the story longer story line that in itself strains us to be able to handle bigger projects. The german kenyan film was coproduced by the Company Founded by german director tom tick for to promote african filmmaking. To first says the spread of mobile internet in streaming services will eventually offer great new opportunities we need to really support that the markets inside the continent gets a better structure people are actually ready to pay for what you are great for especially if its their own it is a bit much money and theres so many people you know i mean imagine in of its just ten cents that youre paid but your goods ten percent of east africa paying ten cents to watch a movie its insane the economics be useful. African filmmakers may want to grow the industry at home but what the young star of supermodel wants is to head further afield. That even if thats if they listen to the judge if you know which i. Think you know weve seen them all. Actually on bobby jones and on the pages of muslim fashion bloggers. Now we have a huge gap where a heavy metal bands. This is not your typical heavy metal band. These Young Musicians and he jobs call themselves v. O. B. Short for voice of basi brought them all just noisy voices to be at the. Bottom of. Their recording their first album in jakarta this song is called School Revolution and it means a lot to lead singer feared according. To muslims. When i record the song i sing it with all ive got the lyrics are about how i got picked on at school because im different im not afraid to speak my mind many people think im weird and i cite or in this song i let loose feeling site. The band members are sixteen and seventeen years old in indonesia many young women this age are already married but these three have a different agenda making music. While i used to be really shy well i still am but im a lot more confident now i can play bass guitar and there arent many people my age who can do that and. To. Be feared c. T. And video excited theyre about to get on a plane for the first time. Theyre going with their assistant and manager to a Music Festival in bali. But this year it will play as i think. That well be a great experience for us. There rise to fame is like something from a hollywood film a young. Musicians set up their band at school in a rural town three years ago now theyre making t. V. Appearances recording an album even jetting to a gig in bali for three days its a heavy new world for three youngsters from humble backgrounds. Are. Scary and exciting. At first their parents wouldnt allow them to make music conservative muslim parents arent exactly thrilled when their daughters start getting into heavy metal but the Three Friends didnt give up. My parents are still worried but by now they realize that were successful thats why they allowed me to come on this trip although they did tell me to be careful. My parents said be good and dont forget to pray. Right after landing in bali its off to a soundcheck. The three teenagers say they need to let off steam just like all their counterparts music is their way of showing their different and rebelling. Belief on our soul in the metal music. Ive fallen in love it is even in the music. Of the man. In fact it is my dinner. First they covered songs written by other bands but now they compose their own music. Someone with their songs speak fight the broken School System discrimination and inequality our Generation Cares about these subjects many of our friends escape through casual sex and drugs and we. We have music i knew. You know you know. I was. This. Stage these three somewhat shy teenagers transform into rocknroll professionals. The group want to be role models for other young women and girls they say islam and heavy metal can go hand in hand. V. D. And cd have some time for sightseeing today they say religion is part of their identity but its private. Heavy metal is how they express their thoughts and their feelings. That it was at first people said we were just trying to get attention we got a lot of abuse on social media and to real life they claim that we were just wearing our head japs on stage but not the rest of the time that we were just trying to provoke. It. That kind of hostility isnt surprising in a country where a conservative attitudes are growing increasingly common amongst its mostly muslim population. And some provinces in the country now follow strict sharia law but these three arent frightened to. Do they determine amount about those people dont represent islam they dont understand the religion islam is not that angry but those people are so light that people around the world might think all muslims are like that but thats not sure. They could as. Well. Yeah you do did you. Figure women are making a clear statement they wont be intimidated. They have energy and they have dreams. And what might those dreams be. That maybe. Maybe maybe. Because most of our favorite bands come from america yet. The three show that he jobs and heavy metal are a powerful combination and for a few video and cd this is only the beginning.
