Women's Liberation in Kuwait

Everywoman

Available for over a year

In Kuwait, a move to give women the vote was narrowly defeated. Why has this been denied to women and why do they want it now? Also on the programme: How important will women be in the workforce of the future and what roles will they play? Trafficking of women is on the rise - why and what can be done to stop it? And a Gambian chef cooks a one-pot chicken dish for the Everywoman reporter.
