What is it about Fortnite? A Feminist Government in Wales?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

There's been much talk about the Duchess of Sussex and her official bio on the royal family website including the quote "I am proud to be a woman and feminist". We discuss. First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, leader of the Welsh Government is pledging to make it feminist despite the fact he'll be standing down from the post in the Autumn. He outlines his plans to review the Welsh Government's gender equality and women's right's policies. Almost a year to the day, a suicide bomber let off a bomb at an Ariana Grande concert. 22 people were killed and hundreds were injured. One of those who died was Martyn Hett. His mother, Figen Murray, talks about the impact of his death on his family. Why do children and teenagers love the video game Fortnite so much? We'll be hearing from two teenagers as they play the game and we'll be looking at the pros and cons for children participating in this latest craze. Street etiquette is generally referred to as the unspoken way in which strangers should act towards each other in public spaces. But how much of it speaks to a power play between men and women? What are the subtle and not so subtle ways in which everyday sexism happens on the streets? Presenter: Jane Garvey Reporter: Sue Elliott-Nichols Editor: Karen Dalziel.
