Musicians and singers of Donbass join the militia to fight against neo-Nazism in Ukraine. 'The scariest sound is the one that a shell makes, of course. That kind of whistling,' says Victor Petenko, Donbass militia private. He used to be a musician and played the drums in the Donetsk philharmonic. On 23 February 2022, he was conscripted for military service to the Ukraine special operation in the Donbass militia ranks. His squad consisted only of musicians. Their commander decided to give them codenames according to the instruments they played. “We had ‘Violin’, ‘Double bass’, all sorts of codenames. He said to me, ‘You will be the ‘Drummer,’" recalls Victor. Even those who weren’t drafted joined the Donbass militia as volunteers. Francois Maud d'Émé was a vocalist in the Donetsk philharmonic. He could not be conscripted into the militia because of his French citizenship. But Francois decided his duty was to protect his new home, Donetsk, and enlist. Their colleagues continue to give concerts to brighten up the routine of civilians and wounded soldiers in hospitals. Even during the heaviest shelling, they continue to play on stage. So how do these performers fit in their new roles?

The movement's mastermind is Sampat Pal, a local hero. She started the Gulabi Gang when she was only 20 years old. She and four of her female friends beat up a man who abused his wife. Since then, the Gulabi Gang has grown to 1,100,000 members. Women who suffer domestic abuse come to Sampat Pal for advice and protection. She teaches them about women's rights and also gives classes in self-defence. The women's rights situation in India has been dismal for decades. This is for the most part because the women have bever had access to education and, as a result, had zero chance of getting a job and becoming independent. Sampat Pal herself remembered how much she wanted to go to school like boys did when she was little. And now Sampat Pal and the Gulabi Gang want to make sure all young women in India have the right to study if they want to. Women in India are still forced to get married at the age of 12 and have no say in any matter. As a result, they practically become the slaves of their husbands' families, and it's no wonder domestic abuse in India is so commonplace. Sampat Pal's movement has become so popular that when people see the Gulabi Gang uniform — a pink sari and a pink stick — they know better than to mess with them. So how does she manage to make such significant changes and make people in power listen to her?

Slavery still exists around Bangladesh's brick kilns. The work is hard, monotonous labour that exploits poor people in rural parts of the country. For months on end, brickyard workers toil away, making bricks by hand, just as they did in the 19th century. Foremen often beat the labourers and treat them as if ‘they were dogs’. Brickyard staff live in barracks and aren’t allowed to leave before the dry season ends. It’s a tough job that generates huge amounts of harmful red dust, which ruins the workers' lungs. Men, women and children of all ages work in many brickyards. With its 160 million population, Bangladesh is undergoing a rapid urbanisation programme, causing a boom in construction, which in turn means that cheap building materials are in high demand. This is a rare glimpse inside Bangladesi brick production.
