Indian activists challenge marital rape clause
Manage episode 427340332 series 2426315
We meet the Indian women campaigning to criminalise marital rape following the adoption of a new penal code which still does not prosecute husbands who rape their wives. A new report reveals how family laws in many African countries reinforce discrimination against women and girls. Annette Young talks to Esther Waweru, a senior legal adviser from Equality Now which authored the study. Plus how Moroccan women are bringing new and inclusive energy to the centuries-old art of Gnaoua, a spiritual musical genre traditionally reserved for men.
