Harriet Harman MP, Reggae singer Hollie Cook, Meeting The One in unusual circumstances.
Female perspectives. Harriet Harman on changing the rape law and Reggae singer Hollie Cook performs live and talks about her latest album. Plus unusual places to meet The One.
The Labour MP Harriet Harman explains why she wants a change to the law to prevent rape complainants from being quizzed in court about their sexual history. Despite a ban on such court tactics which came in to force in 1999 , under certain circumstances defence lawyers can still introduce it.
Reggae singer and former member of the Slits, Hollie Cook who describes her musical style as 'tropical pop' will be performing live in the studio and chatting to Jane about her latest album 'Vessel of Love' .
Matters of the heart. Two writers Zoe Folbigg and Emmy Abrahamson, talk about how their real life love stories inspired their latest books. Emmy met her future husband when he was living in a bush, barefoot and dirty. Zoe spotted a new commuter on her train to London, and knew immediately that he was The One .
A report launched at the World Economic Forum at DAVOS, says that the growth in technology is increasing gender inequality at work. Its author Saadia Zahidi who's their Head Of Education, Gender And Work joins Jane to discuss.
And as the latest government's statistics on rough sleepers in England show that 14% of them were women we look at how a woman who had a good job and a home found her life unravelling to the extent she ends up homeless. Alison Draper who now lives in social housing and volunteers at a local church serving meals to people still on the streets tells her story to Hannah Stacey from 大象传媒 Radio Cornwall
