FGM; 'Ask Her More'; Holidays Without Children; Author Katharine Norbury

Available for over a year

Women and girls at risk of female genital mutilation (FGM) must be better protected, so say the Government who have just announced a number of new measures aimed at bringing an end to the practice in the UK. On the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation Jenni speaks to Crime Prevention minister Lynne Featherstone, FGM survivor Nimco Ali and to the head teacher of Walworth Academy, Yvonne Powell, who last year held the Girl Summit to end FGM. It's awards season so cue magazine and TV coverage of actresses parading in expensive frocks. The #AskHerMore campaign is a feminist project encouraging journalists to engage with famous women in a way that is more than just "who are you wearing?" or "what's your diet plan?" Just ahead of the Bafta awards Jenni asks Edith Bowman, who will be on the red carpet for BBC Three's Bafta coverage, about the #askhermore red carpet revolution. Is it ever ok to go on holiday without your children? Jenni discusses with journalist Siobhan McNally and LBC presenter Beverley Turner. And Jenni speaks to the author Katharine Norbury about her book 'The Fish Ladder' - a story told through a landscape of two searches: the first, to trace a river from the sea to its source, the second, to find her birth mother.
