Presented by Jenni Murray. Slutwalk protest - can women always wear what they want? Bowls champ Betty Morgan, Julia Neuberger on spirituality, baby farming in history.
Presented by Jenni Murray. Slutwalk protest: Can women always wear what they want? Next Saturday, the London Slutwalk will take place and is being billed as an anti-rape march. The first Slutwalk took place earlier this year as a response to a Toronto policeman telling a group of law students that in order to avoid being raped "women should avoid dressing like sluts". So do women have the right to dress in a sexually provocative way without having their safety and sexual rights threatened? We talk to Bowls champ Betty Morgan, to Julia Neuberger about her new book on spirituality, and hear about baby farming in history.
