Everywoman

Available for over a year

Hong Kong is home to over 25,000 foreign domestic workers, but these days the work is less lucrative than it was, due to cuts in minimum wage. What has been the impact on women working here? Also on the programme: Forensic scientist Dr Helen Morrison - the 'real Clarice Starling' - talks about the eerie charm of serial killers and what lies beneath. Plus, why singing lullabies to babies is beneficial - even if you're tone deaf.
