A Female Perspective on Travel

Everywoman

Available for over a year

Do women view landscape as something to be explored rather than something to be conquered? A group of travel writers debate this. Also in the programme: The first in a series about unlikely friendships concerns an 18-year old from Togo fleeing a forced marriage and female genital mutilation to the USA, and becoming friends with the lawyer who took up her case for asylum. And one woman reflects on the changes in her life since moving to Hong Kong.
