Not The Numbers Game (BBC Version)

The role of women in solving development and population problems worldwide.

44 minutes
Produced by Emily Marlow and Jenny Richards for TVE and BBC Worldwide Television

The six 10-minute films that make up the series Not the Numbers Game were edited into a single 44-minute film for broadcast on the BBC. It's a thought-provoking look at the role women in various countries are playing to solve the twin problems of population and development. The stories include: women in India who are demanding the basic services they need for a dignified life; women in Uganda who are calling for a halt to the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation; a second wife working endless jobs in Kenya to afford school and hope for her children; teenage pregnancy and machismo in Peru; industrial employment in Indonesia; and the status of women on postwar Cambodia.

In this BBC version the story from Bosnia in the original series was replaced with a story from Kenya.
