This week on global three thousand were off to the gem and capital which attracts young tourists in droves and this man shows them around me one of. Mauritanias Darling National park is a wildlife hotspot but it didnt used to be like this we find out about its transformation. But first we had to india to learn more about young girls and mary chain which romance rarely plays a role. Forced marriages can be nothing short of devastating for the young girls involved early marriage frequently means early motherhood and that often means dropping out of school this form of human rights abuse is not limited to a few countries either its a. In fact around seven hundred million women and girls alive today were married off before they were a teen and more than a third when i was even fifteen. The world leader when it comes to child brides is india the un estimates that nearly half of all indian women a married off before theyre eighteen. This is men near a con at work in a Womens Center in hydrabad she tells us shes nineteen but doesnt know exactly when she was born. Near or was only eleven years old when her parents sold her for fifty thousand rupees the equivalent of eight hundred euros. That made. No one asked me my relatives came together and decided to marry me off to a seventy five year old man from amman they only told me on the day of the wedding when i saw the old man all i could do was cry i tried to persia estan said im far too young. But hes got me. India outlawed Child Marriage in two thousand and six but in munir is case as with many other women here the marriage broker used falsified documents a corrupt imaan precisely did over the wedding ceremony munir was forced to go with the old man for three weeks he sexually abused her in a hotel in hyderabad then he disappeared when the man was informed that munir was pregnant he divorced her over the phone from oman that was eight years ago until recently the muslim practice of instant divorce was legal in india the nearest ultimo khan has never seen her father but i think that i have suffered a great deal whenever i think about it it still upsets me mentally. I dont want to cry here in front of my daughter. Can shouldnt have to ask why her mother is unhappy that would upset her too much. So we had to go. Near it takes us to her parents she had no choice pregnant and still a child herself then a single mother munira had to move back home. Her mother refuse to be gone tells us how much she has also suffered because of the story but she means her daughters divorce she still doesnt see anything wrong with the marriage itself she only wanted her daughter to have a better life in the United Arab Emirates and says she had no idea the old man was only off to sex. It was with the our neighbors also married off their daughter to a shake and she got a new house and a small fortune. I was hoping for the same from an era thats why we married her off with. Getting. Your nearest family lives in a poor muslim area many people here believe that selling their daughters off to the emirates will be their salvation. The womens rights group shaheen says that this happens in every third family here. Every day desperate girls show up at the women center not all of them are about to be sold off abroad often they come because of everyday problems. Jamie lynn is shot as the founder of shaheen she doesnt accept poverty as an excuse she says the problem is that many muslim families few women as property its not just poverty. Because there was poverty a it also but greed is one of the things and especially as the girl was married many times they were getting so much of extra money for supposing she is married one day she may get fifty thousand. And the fifty thousand and if shes a good looking shes being one when. Authorities in hyderabad have recently started to crack down on the trafficking of women and girls earlier this year Police Arrested numerous people including indian Marriage Brokers and men from the emirates seeking an. Child bride many of them already married and wanted a second or third wife or just a quick thrill we meet the man who made the arrests possible haji khan himself spent years brokering illegal marriages to arab men he shows us the hotels that cooperated with him he warns us not to go that there would be trouble he tells us trafficking the women and girls is easy because until recently many indians didnt have official bus it if it gets or i. D. s. The girls now say they were eleven or twelve years old but thats not true in reality there were already eighteen i think all right maybe some were only fourteen or fifteen but only a few in any case were just for the paperwork to show they were twenty four or twenty five. The shakes contacted this fire middlemen they then traveled to india officially for medical treatment in a hospital then they married the girls. Most of them left the girls behind. I knew the entire time that all this was illegal and i could end up in jail if the Police Caught me. At some point he says he started to feel guilty haji can went to the police and help them crack a trafficking ring. The story is confirmed by hyderabad the system commissioner of police. He led the investigation and he still cant believe how parents are willing to sell off their children many of them under age. Five the law. Is that award is this whole is happening ho ho the being. Is. Going to the school not hes not coming back at given. We were even called to the principal no the girl is being sent to the country where you dont wholly with. Many people in the slums of hyderabad are deeply religious the corrupt islamic clerics involved in trafficking child brides take advantage of their authority the Indian Government gives the countrys Muslim Minority the right to issue its own marriage certificates. The islamic clerics who conduct the marriage ceremonies tell parents its all in accordance with the quran. Minera khan has paid a bitter price for this cynicism as a divorced single mother she will have a hard time ever getting remarried. I made a comment that i want to share my story with everyone i dont want more girls to be sold off but the girl should be made aware of whats in store for them. That. Most of the women at the Shopping Center have been traumatized here at least theyre provided with Safety Support and care and given the chance to regain control over their lives. Around six hundred fifty Million People around the world own a gun almost half of these private individuals are from the us the right to bear arms is firmly anchored in the american constitution but it remains a controversial topic in two thousand and fourteen firearms were responsible for the deaths of thirty four thousand people in the u. S. Two thirds of them were suicides. Who exactly decides to go out and buy a gun in surveys nearly a third of all u. S. Households have admitted to owning a pistol or rifle the large majority of us gun owners are white eighty one percent and almost three quarters are men but that may be about to change. These women are learning how to shoot. Housewives single mothers and pensioners their middle class a most of them have never held a gun before. My name is mark was there mr heavy fire destruction my company ive been seeing for about a year and a half now start up the military shooting rifles. Washingtons course is catered to africanamerican women who workshops across the country are always fully booked less than one Safety Training with. It may look like fun but the participants take it very seriously i have never shot a gun before but with the way things are going now is really necessary that we all learn how to protect their sales meetings and after the incident a few weeks ago in charlottesville is it just occurred to me that we cant totally depend on Law Enforcement to protect us to be there for us. The one supremacist rally in virginia this summer confirm for many that open racism remains widespread in the us its a factor cited by many of the women flocking to washingtons courses. Once theyre at the shooting range the first step is learning how to load a gun. The next step is far and with live ammunition its not as easy as marshall makes it look. We. Know this participant got off to a good start after her very first go the target figure is riddled with holes. Everyone gets ten shots and encouragement as well as leaders. These arent going to use us theyre women who are afraid. That. Nobodys getting back that. Thats right here in this all right here the loser collapse. So how do participants feel. How slow. They are serious only a few. That i fired. Im coming to watch but its. Its right. There its all smiles for the souvenir photo. None of the women are great shots yet but they do feel more confident. Washington belongs to the national africanamerican. The first group of its kind for africanamericans. The Atlanta Branch alone has grown from five hundred to one thousand members within two years and six hundred of them are women. And the industry is happy to supply them gun stores now also stock products specially designed for women. And shopping time the pension im asked. She wants advice and a handgun to bring along to the next far on this course. But can the ever growing number of weapons really help in the fight against racism. Especially minorities we can be easy targets because a lot of us dont have firearms education so i think with firearms education we can learn how to legally defend ourselves and we wont be targets of hate crimes like we are now. Lives in rural georgia the women attending the gun classes say that in the Southern States of the us racism has never really gone away it was just less visible. They fear the trumpet ministration is empowering the wrong people and the racism is even becoming acceptable again mass youre still remembers the segregation era as a child she wasnt allowed to cross these train tracks because the other side was an all white community. Now at the age of sixty five she feels she needs a gun the black man assesses calla escaped a large portion of there but i think that just again with the culture changing we cant say that. Status quo. Meets up with her sisters none of them have been subjected to actual physical attacks but they feel threatened by own pleasant remarks the past has left a deep legacy of fear. You will be booking a place on the next concourse and bring some friends with. Oh yes im taking it to my church im going to put on. A couple of work and women that we me often so im going to crusade. For these women are seeking reassurance from guns because they no longer trust the government to protect them and their families. This week on global ideas we go to mauritania National Park an undeniable paradise for birds nowhere else in west africa can you find so many different varieties of birds in such a small area the park is located at the border between mauritania and senegal around the senegal river delta the region is highly vulnerable to Climate Change. Hotel junia henry waxman went to find out lol. Year for year the sea level here has been rising as locals can see with their own eyes a growing number of them are having to leave their homes along the beach the older generation still remembers what it used to look like here. What you did half the village has to be here there were even houses on this very spot before it was all flooded there are probably remains of houses on the seabed over there. Under. The village in south mauritania as bordered by a river on one side and the ocean on the other. Theres very little infrastructure. But where are locals supposed to move to. But dean works in the nearby de walling National Park he confirms the gravity of the situation. Yeah i spoke to an old man who told me that in the one nine hundred eighty s. The ocean was two kilometers further bog. Now look at the damage the sea has done. The government is trying to ensure that people are relocated to a safer area. But the older generation refuses and says this is where our ancestors lived were not going any way. Living from farming alone is increasingly difficult land is in short supply due to the ground becoming oversalted with their livelihoods destroyed people are having to move inland but the National Park twelve kilometers away provides alternative sources of income a few years ago it was home to far fewer animals today its a breeding ground for over three hundred species of birds including flamingoes crocodiles live here to. The warthog population is flourishing because the animals are not hunted here. Theres both fresh water and salt water in the senegal river delta. Nature conservation makes sense here protecting the ecosystem also creates jobs. So that is the goal of the park is to restore the ecosystem and fight public. Policy in this region. Because the local population distributional work. They harvest whatever nature provides. The local economy is based on fishing and farming. If theres no more water there will be nothing left. To eat. Locally caught is hung out to dry in the open air. Many villages have no electricity let alone refrigerators fisherman sell their fish across the country and even in neighboring senegal. In the past people lived here from farming to. But really fishing makes most sense we can make a living from fishing all year round and we benefit from the loch in the basin there are lots of fish here. The abundance of fish is a recent development thirty years ago the region was left ravaged by this dam built in the one nine hundred eighty s. To supply mauritania senegal gambia and mali with fresh water. It devastated the natural environment. The construction of the dom completely destabilized the ecosystem it was destroyed. The Natural Balance was destroyed the balance between sold water and fresh water. Wasnt the fresh water was blocked and couldnt reach the National Park. Years later the problem was addressed with the construction of these locks built with the help of the german k F W Development bank and the German Development agency. As. These guys can be what it does is imitate ebb and flow water and fresh water are combined here so its a perfect habitat for fish to spawn in effect when. Its a protected area because these are three flood basins. So its a perfect spot for resting and breeding not only for this but also for birds. And. The Park Authority has demarcated fishing zones and make sure the fishermen respect spawning seasons. For fresh water in the basin has helped revive the local fauna to. Lotuss have begun thriving again. Local women spend two to three hours a day in the water collecting seeds from the lotus stalks. Then the. Sort them shell and dry them and over a period of several weeks turn them into cous cous. After the dam was built until last year we couldnt harvest anything but now nature has started to recover the lotuses have returned and we can collect the seeds again so. They harvested some six hundred kilos last year and up to feed their families for months and sell the excess another successful venture made possible by the park local craft traditions have also made a comeback these women make jewelry they are planning to sell the Raw Materials come from the National Park service and. These are tiny beads that they make from tree resin. Boy on the interest of his and we help them to extract the resin without destroying the trees. Back in the delta biologist zenda law but dean is out on the water almost every day taking a look at the nesting sites in. Jail and his was open i love these birds are for theyre my favorite animals. Theyre beautiful and theyre also proof that the environment is in good shape for the if theyre here then we know theres no environmental damage. And they dont make anything dirty. I love them. To do well in National Park is home to the greatest concentration of birds in west africa and in addition to rescuing animal habitats in the region the conservation zone has also helped to secure human livelihoods. Now its time to meet the battle in Global People from around the wilds whove made the german capital their home. In the berlin five years now they may grow in the vibrant metropolis that we tell their stories everywhere. Stay on off Facebook Page full society. Today all but comes from slovenia. And. I dont feel our people know im going to make up for they was a. Tough call its basically you making sure that the people have a good time when you take them to pubs and various bars and with us we also take you to the club at the end. So its like a guided tour of the nightlife for lent which i know many berliners frown upon but i think they should give it a chance at least once. And. If they cant you find spray paint on the wall even a single time to find is around seven thousand euros just for one yet because its considered vandalism if they cant you putting up a poster on a wall like this the fine is around seventy euros because its considered littering. And this is one of the prime examples. Its really famous its called its time to dance its been done by a guy called sober. I studied media and Communications Science and youll be on your First University ljubljana which is something you go to study when you dont know what you have to what you want to study or what you want to do with your life. I was basically staying with my parents and till i decided i want to move to berlin so its like i wanted to become an autonomous person and move out at the same time to another country so one day i just got up and left. Why are there like certain people who decide if youre cool enough to get into a club whats up with that i mean isnt berlin all about the left wing and democratic and i never understood that to be honest and quick. A couple of those walks of shame when they tell you youre not cool enough and you have to walk you know in shame you didnt get in i was like man that doesnt go for life and the football is that is the exec opposite of that you know everybodys welcome at the end hybrid so everybody is welcome come join us have a party you know even if youre not cool or whatever.
