The government has published an independent review into the world of online pornography, Creating a Safer World - the challenge of regulating online pornography, written by the Conservative Peer Baroness Gabby Bertin. It proposes outlawing 鈥渄egrading, violent and misogynistic content,鈥� including making it illegal to possess or publish pornography showing women being choked during sex. Anita Rani talks to the 大象传媒's Home Editor, Mark Easton and Fiona Vera-Gray, Professor of Sexual Violence at London Metropolitan University, about the review's findings.

Padel 鈥� a cross between squash and tennis - is said to be the fastest growing sport in the world. So what about the women in the game? Whether it鈥檚 on the local padel court or the business and money-making side, women are currently massively under-represented. Joining Anita are Eloise Tait 鈥� GB鈥檚 #5 women鈥檚 player 鈥� who will be competing at 2025鈥檚 Britain Padel Tour in London tomorrow 鈥� and Astrid Tamms from Spain鈥檚 Hexagon Cup.

Singer-songwriter and ADHD YouTube influencer R脴RY, who has co-written three top 10 hits for other artists including Charlie XCX, has finally broken through the charts with a top 10 album of her own at the age of 40. She takes Anita on her journey from being addicted to drugs and alcohol to her recovery and new found success, and performs her song, One Drink Away, live in the studio.

Esther Ghey鈥檚 transgender daughter Brianna was murdered in February 2023 by two 15 year olds. The killers were radicalised online, and 16-year-old Brianna herself was harmfully addicted to her phone, despite all of her mum鈥檚 efforts to limit her usage. Esther has now become a campaigner for the safer use of smartphones for children, and for the use of mindfulness in schools. She also decided to forgive her child鈥檚 killers, and is now friends with one of their mothers. Esther joins Anita in the Woman鈥檚 Hour studio to talk about her new memoir, Under a Pink Sky.
