The UK Government and UNICEF are co-hosting Girl Summit. The aim is to end Female Genital Mutilation and Cutting (FGM/C), and Child, Early, and Forced Marriage (CEFM) in a generation. We talk to International Development Secretary Justine Greening and Anita Tiessen of UNICEF. American poet, teacher and activist Carolyn Forché is best known for her 'poetry of witness'; from the civil war in El Salvador to apartheid in South Africa. There's a trend to use feminism to promote products such as sanitary towels and shampoo. The advertisers think it makes good business sense, but is this good news for feminism? A new tartan has been created for Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games. It remains a popular design choice for fashion - from high street to high end. So what is the enduring appeal of tartan?
