Lads' mags; Women on boards; Teen virgins

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Do lads' mags deserve a place alongside the weekly groceries? Green Party MP Caroline Lucas on the latest attempt to have them banned by supermarkets. Five top-listed FTSE companies still have no women on their boards. Woman's Hour re-issues its challenge to senior executives to explain why their boardrooms are a male-only affair. A new Channel 4 documentary follows a group of teenagers thinking about having sex for the first time, some under the age of consent. If you're a parent, how do you approach the loss of virginity? We talk to the mother of one 15-year girl featured and to agony aunt and Parentline Plus trustee Suzie Hayman.
