Sinn Fein's new leader Mary Lou McDonald, and sex abuse in the humanitarian sector

Available for over a year

Mary Lou McDonald: the new female leader of Sinn Fein. What impact will she have on her party, and on a new power sharing deal at Stormont? And why are more women coming to the forefront of politics in Northern Ireland? Jane discusses with journalist Siobhan Fenton. Sex abuse in the humanitarian sector. How widespread is the problem? And what can we learn from the sexual abuse scandal surrounding UN Peace Keepers since as early as 2004? We speak to Liesl Gerntholtz - Executive Director of the women's rights division of Human Rights Watch - and to Sienna Merope-Synge, a human rights lawyer at the Institute For Justice & Democracy In Haiti. Plus, author Alicia Drake on her debut novel and parenting in Paris. I Love You Too Much is set in the sixth arrondissement, and is narrated by shy, unloved 13 year old Paul, who quietly observes the self-involved adults around him. Alicia, whose five children were born in Paris, discusses how parenthood is viewed in the city. And dinosaurs on tour - challenging gender stereotypes. The Natural History Museum's Head of Conservation, Lorraine Cornish, tells us about taking the museum's much loved dinosaur, Dippy, on a UK-wide tour, and how she hopes he'll encourage more girls to get involved in science.
