of “Shaheen” since 16 years are fighting against child abuse and for the empowerment of girls and women in this very poor Muslim area. Activists from “Shaheen” themselves suffered from all dimensions of abuse and violence and learned to speak out and to develop
their own narratives for dignity and hope. They created their songs within the traditional “cavalli” expressing their vision. They advocate in schools to empower girls and boys - as literacy is the key to unlock the cycle of poverty. And they offer training
in life skills and help young women to become leaders and help them to set up small businesses. The specific mission of “Shaheen” is to save girls from one of the most terrible abusive practices, the so-called “child-marriages” (when elderly men from the Arab
peninsula come in, give some money to the families for the right to abuse very young girls for a while in a hotel – and then disappear). “Shaheen” is helping girls to negotiate with their families to end this practices. Within one year “Shaheen” women were
able to stop 156 child-marriages in the area. The biggest challenge they say is to change the mindset of the people.

the mode of production is still the same. The dialectic between human and nature turned into the danger of the complete destruction of the planet and the traditional industrial work disappears – but workers do not disappear and informalisation of work is still
growing.<span> </span><span> </span>The challenge is to focus on today’s composition of working classes, including working poor and rural communities and the basic role of women for change.</span></p>
