The Saudi women held for driving; Gender and careers after university
Woman's HourAvailable for over a year
Two women's rights campaigners tried to drive into Saudi Arabia last year and we get the latest on their situation from Rothna Begum, Woman's Rights Researcher at Human Rights Watch for the Middle East and North Africa. Research shows that more men than women leave University for a graduate level job, we ask why? And, the end of a relationship is difficult, but is it worse when the partner you thought was heterosexual leaves you for a same sex relationship? And, after getting advice from Indian self reliant groups, we hear about the Scottish women who have started a business.
