Suidheachadh nam boireannaich ann an AlbĂ inia

Suidheachadh nam boireannaich ann an AlbĂ inia
An t-seachdain-sa air ·ˇĂ˛°ů±č˛ą, tha Darren Linc ag aithris air Ă ite nam boireannach ann an AlbĂ inia. Ged a tha barrachd chothroman na b’ Ă bhaist aig boireannaich AlbĂ nach an-diugh, cha b’ ann mar seo a bha cĂąisean roimhe. Bha beatha nam boireannach gu mòr air a riaghladh leis a’ Khanun – siostam de laghan a bha 'g rĂ dh gun e fireannach a dh’fheumadh a bhi os cionn an teaghlaich, is gun ann airson fulang a tha boireannach. Uaireannan, Ă s aonais oighre fireann, bhiodh boireannach Ă s an teaghlach a’ tionndadh na fireannach – “sworn virgin” no “burrnesha” mar a tha aca orra ann an AlbĂ inia. Bhiodh iad a’ gearradh an cuid falt, a’ dèanamh obair fhireannaich, is a’ seachnadh feise, teaghlach is clann a bhith aca. Choinnich Darren Linc ri fear de na burrnesha mu dheireadh san dĂąthaich.

Women’s changing position in Albania

Women’s changing position in Albania
This week on Eorpa, Darren Laing reports on the changing place of women in Albanian society. Although Albanian women, like women elsewhere in Europe, can increasingly expect the same opportunities as men in work and public life, in past generations this was not the case. A traditional code of laws, the Kanun, dictated that a woman’s place was in the home, obeying a husband. In some families the lack of a male head of a household led to a woman becoming a “burrnesha” or sworn virgin - taking on a male role, dressing as a man, doing a man’s work and being treated as a man. Darren Laing meets one of the few remaining burrneshas in Albania.

DĂ m connspaideach ann an Portagail

Tha sgeama dealain hydro air connspaid adhbharachadh ann an Portagail oir tha pàirt den leasachadh ùr gu bhith ann an sgìre Alto Douro, sgìre a tha air inbhe dualchas na cruinne a chosnadh bho UNESCO air sgàth luach co-choitcheann air leth. Tha uallach air buidhnean glèidhteachais agus na companaidhean a tha a’ dèanamh an fhìon a tha fàgail Alto Douro ainmeil air feadh an t-saoghail gu bheil seo a’ dol a dhèanamh sgrios air an sgìre agus air na gàrraidhean fìona, agus gu bheil inbhe dualchas na cruinne ann an cunnart. Tha an riaghaltas ag ràdh ge-tà gu bheil e cudromach cumhachd agus obraichean a chruthachadh ach gu bheilear cuideachd a’ dèanamh cinnteach gun tèid dualchas na sgìre a ghlèidheadh.

Controversial dam project in Portugal

Controversial dam project in Portugal

A new hydro-electric dam is causing controversy in Portugal. Part of the development is in the Alto Douro region - a region with world heritage status bestowed by UNESCO in recognition of the area’s outstanding universal value. Conservation groups and those involved in making the Douro’s world- renowned wines are deeply concerned about the project. They fear that the dam could have a negative impact on the environment and on the areas’s wine production, and that it could ultimately lead to the loss of world heritage status. However, the government maintains that it is important to generate power and to create jobs, but that the area’s valuable natural heritage will be preserved.
