Domestic violence, the falling birth rate and women in folk music

Available for over a year

Should domestic violence be a specific crime? Both Labour and the Conservatives have said they'll look again at the law. Women's Aid says coercion and controlling behaviour should become a specific offence - but we hear from a lawyer who says it won't work. The birth rate has fallen, after big climbs over the last decade. The Office for National Statistics says economic uncertainty could be to blame. So are families deciding they can't afford to have as many children as they'd like to? Holocaust survivor Elizabeth Lucas Harrison talks about evading the Nazis in occupied Europe, on the 70th anniversary of the last convoy leaving occupied Paris for the concentration camps. And women in folk music. As the 50th Cambridge Folk Festival gets underway, we look at the work of female folk musicians - and ask whether they're getting a raw deal in bookings for major events.
