She is the regional lead writer director for the americas and the caribbean for un women, and she joins us now from panama city a very good day. Why are attackers not prosecuted . Thank you very much for her to live in the program. While we go through something that is a very provocative program, we dont even, you know, when it, as a pandemic in the shadow and we express the values of women individually, does it work as the victim may say she lives really good meditation that happens when the women decides to go to justice. She does not believe we have a lot of conscious bias against women and we have people in the Justice Sector that another train to take is horrible situations and all the deaths. This in my region, almost 5000 women as were killed in 2000 and just for the sake of the women. And often at that 90 percent of the victims are living with the so it is Domestic Violence. But the liability is 2nd teen you in the street, in the transpo, in the characters, in the work, in the workplace. So by ignorance is something that women has to live with it and we have to stop it. And in order to stop it with much, much more political will from the authorities. But we also need to involve men. Will you to change this tactic . Violence attitude that men have . No, we also need to work with all aspects of society rather. What have you found when it comes to Domestic Violence during the pandemic . Well, they have fun though.

We also need to more financing for the, you know, full health says that can a habit with men and their tallies for essential services in health. But also in south asia, as you know, the Mental Health of women that are psychological victims of violence. And as a, when there was saying before that we have to act now. And the only way of acting in prevention relieves to prevent it. Man, i would a Civil Society organizations and the head of finances of the government. Why do you feel that policy makers are not doing enough to prioritize fighting violence against women . Well, because simply they are a land and they dont understand the problem. Dont forget that in my region, only men, president s right now are 70 percent of the parliament are by men and 85 percent of men and women. So its very difficult to make sure that they understand what women go through when they go through that, as we need them to recognise this as an american, he has a problem that is essential for the wellbeing of the whole society. Because he is not only affecting women exacting children, and it is affecting every aspect of life. So we need more women in politics, and we need more political will to change this.

There isnt much the government can do to look at wife and rejoicing at the birth of a baby girl who will join a celebration in india that encourages families to treat all children as equal time british prodigy. Welcome to news asia. Glad you could join us. Protests against the government of the monarchy have been held in the tight up to bangkok to the protesters are demanding greater accountability from the monarchy. After it emerged, the king had transferred the chrome assets to himself, increasing his world enormously. And under pressure, the government has responded by invoking the countrys strict just laws and georgia. These trials, protest leaders with defaming the monarchy. Now a lot of the anger is directed against the current king might have argued along. Who spends most of his time here in germany. His long stories have become a headache for berlin, with the government being questioned by the opposition on whether he actually conduct state business from here up. The government has said this would be unacceptable. For months, prodemocracy protesters in thailand have been trying to send a message to the king, reform our country and your monarchy. But the man theyre addressing has often been absent thousands of kilometers away. In fact, while protests raged on the streets of bangkok, the time ana spent much of his time in germany, in a luxury hotel in the Southern Area and alps. His extended stays in the quaint area that the German Government and a bind belen has been trying to determine whether the king conduct state affairs from his pov area and hide away. The foreign minister has stated that that would be a deal breaker for germanys hospitality of the us. I obviously am also watching the thai kings behavior in germany. Weve not just been monitoring this in recent weeks. We are monitoring this long term. There are things that we consider to be illegal. There will be immediate consequences and virtuous consequences. But thats easier said than done. A parliamentary investigation has found that germany has a limited legal options. Because the king enjoys diplomatic protections like other visiting heads of state. Even if its their own private business, its course frustration among lawmakers who commissioned the research, the left party serving data len had this to say on twitter. Anyone who would like the thai king along with the military junta, brutally knocks down the Democracy Movement shouldnt be rewarded with a visa for luxurious, long term stay in germany by the federal government. It appears germany has just one option to take action against the king. And thats using a decades Old International treaty on diplomatic relations. Parliamentary researchs said berlin can declare the king a persona nongrata or an exact double person, and expel him from the country. But that option was described as a last resort. It also carries the risk of a diplomatic escalation of the Political Drama that germany wanted. No part in the was so now theres less pressure on german politicians. In mid october, the king returned to thailand to the joy of this royalist supporters. His critics are hoping hell finally address their grievances and not return to his hideaway in the bath area mountains. Many germany are hoping for this thing. Felix heidrick is a senior associate of the German Institute for international and Security Affairs with southeast asia. The focus area of his research. Felix, welcome. Now there have been somewhat strong words from the foreign minister heiko mass. Yet it appears according to the parliamentary resignation. At least there isnt much the government can do about the tightening here in germany. How do we read this . Well, i read it as an interplay of international affairs, basically of domestic affairs. And in my view, thats most certainly the case in most Foreign Policy making and here as well as on the one hand you have german Media Outlets reported that reporting very critically on the time warner extended visits to germany as well as on his role in current tire fast plus you have at to thats increased scrutiny by the opposition in the parliament in the bundestag. So that domestically has put pressure and continues to put pressure on the government and burden to act. And on the other hand, you have the demonstrations in thailand including those taking place in front of the german embassy, actually in bangkok, calling on berlin to act as well. While at the same time, the current Thai Government is cracking down on those prodemocracy protesters. So this is how i read the dense surrounding this issue, basically as the interplay of domestic and international factors. However, i would say with regard to the future developments are more depends on the developments in thailand and rather than whats the pressures in germany, i think much of it will depend on how events will unfold in thailand in the future will come that in a matter but what is there a wider geo strategic lens with which germanys looking at this whole affair . Well, there is the geostrategic context is marked by an intensifying sign of american rivalry in the congo. Thanks of this power shift towards asia that many people have been talking about for, for years, not to the whole of asia, not just to china. So asia is increasingly important used to t. G. T. And you economically the letter, especially to a trading state like germany. And at the same time, berland has for a long 4th for quite some time equated china with asia, china, asia policy was basically china policy and vice versa. So this over dependence on china, especially economically, is now seen as a challenge for berlin and berlin. Now, in the context of also this new pacific guideline, 6 diverse, if you cation 6, new pop up in us, spare, southeast asia. And the plan you Free Trade Agreement with thailand is one indicator of this. So, and at the same time, you have the military let tiger meant since the coup in 2000 for being out of a closer to, to china. Due to what they perceive to be unjust criticism of their internal affairs by western states and so on and so forth. So i say this is a conundrum. Its the strategic context where were dealing with at the moment with regards to german tie affair us. Right. How do you see this playing out in the future of protests . Continue in thailand . Well, i think in short term, not so much as long as the king is in thailand. I think this will take domestic pressure from the government in berlin to a certain extent, and hes predicted to stay in thailand actually for the rest of the year 2020. I obviously dont know, but this is, this is what i hear. However, if, if the king were to return and say early 202122, the very a that is right and protest still carry on in bangkok or even worse, theres a bloody crackdown by the military. I think the, the agenda will be, did this issue will be on the agenda of girl. And with the new urgency, i would say, philip snyder, well leave it there for the time being. But i do so much for joining us. Thank you. Thats no secret that in india most families would rather have a son than a daughter. Abandoned determining the sex of a baby before birth exists but female fee to side still occurs. Its what contributes to india. Having a skewed sex ratio of around 920 females to every 1000 males, one of the poorest in the world. But things are changing, albeit very slowly. And theyre changing in communities where it matters the most familiar sound of celebration and naming ceremony for a baby girl. Under a ball at my name is appalling. Im 30 years old. This is my 2nd child, and ive had a baby girl. Im very happy about it. And so is my family. They werent disappointed and so they didnt harass me at all. The people who govern our village have celebrated the birth of my baby girl. Traditionally such ceremonies are held to welcome baby boys, not girls, but many say that has to change so many celebration. I dont really work in progress. Little person really, really one will prevent sex. So the gender balance elimination. 6 issue increases the issues that are related to growth. We get positive response for those preservation of the horses. So be changes, a girl who was considered to be a burden to now now she becomes really celebrated Community Based projects like this one are making a difference. 15 years ago, only 870 girls were born here for every 1000 boys. Now that number has risen to over 920 government come theres so many legal constructions, growers
