Woman's Hour

Billy and Alun are featured in a new book by Laura Dodsworth, Manhood: The Bare Reality, which includes photographs of one hundred penises and interviews with the men they belong to. Jenni Murray discusses how their most intimate parts have affected their lives. The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by a mother and daughter to allow women from Northern Ireland to access free NHS abortions in England. BBC Health Correspondent Jane Dreaper explains the significance of this closely fought ruling. In January Tracy Brabin was elected to represent Batley and Spen, Jo Cox's constituency, at a by-election. Five months on, reporter Sue Elliott-Nicholls went to meet Tracy to talk about her new role in Westminster. We broadcast this interview on the one year anniversary of the death of Jo Cox. The Great Get Together, a charity founded by Jo's family, will be holding events and tributes up and down the country this weekend. For the second in our Leaving Prison series our reporter Milly Chowles talks to 'Pat', a woman who has been in and out of prison for the last 30 years. This last time there were support workers from the One25 Project waiting for her at the gates. We hear what happened next.
