Jobs for girls
We visit two projects which are helping women to increase their earnings by training them in work that have traditionally been done by men. They are also changing attitudes.
How hard is it for women to break into male-dominated jobs?
We look at two projects which are helping women to increase their earnings by training them in forms of work that have traditionally been done by men.
In Uganda, we meet the woman training girls in careers from mechanical engineering and welding to carpentry and construction
And in India, we visit the college that trains impoverished women from around the world in the nuts and bolts of solar technology.
As well as the economic benefits, by challenging the status quo these projects are also aiming to empower women and change society.
