Should the UK follow Australia in bringing in a social media ban for under 16s? The government has announced a consultation on the issue and peers debate the question as the former Conservative schools minister Lord Nash has tabled an amendment to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. It would require social media platforms to stop children under 16 from using their platforms within a year of the Bill passing. Nuala McGovern discusses this with Hannah Ortel from the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project, and Dr Fiona Scott, Senior Lecturer in digital literacies at the University of Sheffield.How safe are the beauty treatments many women routinely use?

They say many have quit, feeling unheard and undervalued. Lisa West from Women in Sport and Yasmin Clarke, a former pro tennis player and coach discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Melanie Abbott

The COVID-19 Pandemic pulled an estimated 8 million Americans into poverty. Millions lost jobs that kept them one paycheck away from becoming destitute, and many, like those who were formerly considered middle income, now patronize the food banks where they used to donate. There have always been poor people, but the pandemic has exposed some of the realities and conditions of poverty which are little seen and often misunderstood. In the wake of the pandemic, who is poor now? And what are the persistent myths about impoverished Americans that shape public attitudes and undermine potential policy solutions? Guests: Mark Rank - professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and lead-author of Poorly Understood: What America Gets Wrong About Poverty. Peter Edelman - faculty director of Georgetown University's Center on Poverty and Inequality and author of Not a Crime to Be Poor: The Criminalization of Poverty in America. Caroline Koty - licensed clinical social worker and family mobility mentor at Economic Mobility Pathways – EMPath, in Boston. Later in the show: The Cambridge Women's Center is marking its 50th anniversary, kicking off a yearlong celebration with 10 days of activities symbolizing the 10-day building takeover, back in 1971. The ten-day occupation, chronicled in the documentary Left on Pearl, led to the creation of the center and a legacy of advocacy for women. Guests: Rochelle Ruthchild - One of the founders of the Cambridge Women's Center, its second president, and a producer of Left on Pearl. Judy Norris - full-time volunteer and chair of the Cambridge Women's Center's board of trustees. SHOW CREDITS: Under the Radar with Callie Crossley is a production of GBH, produced by Wes Martin and engineered by Dave Goodman. Angela Yang is our Intern. Our theme music is FISH AND CHIPS by #weare2saxys', Grace Kelly and Leo P.
Having no boat race this year sucked, but Alex got the chance to sit down with Cambridge Women and Lightweight Head Coach Rob Weber to talk about his rowing journey and coaching at Cambridge.
Helen worked in education for 25 years, before a mixture of itchy feet, curiosity, passion for sport... and some chance discussions with elite level athletes at her triathlon club - prompted her to pivot into her new career. Now Helen is a fully chartered and HCPC registered Sport Psychologist, working with Swim England, the Cambridge Women's University Rowing Team and various commonwealth and Paralympic medalists. Together with collaborator Lucy Gossage, Helen has also developed IRON-MIND, a 6-week online master class focusing specifically on psychology for Iron Man and other endurance athletes. We discuss her career pivot and the insightful parallels between the classroom of 30 kids and a boat crew of 9 women… the demands of an elite student athlete, and the lightbulb moments when you've managed to ‘get through' to someone – whether a student in school or an elite swimmer in the consulting room.

Natasha Walter, Humanitas Visiting Professor in Women's Rights 2014-15, will give two public lectures with CRASSH and participate in the Cambridge Women of the World event on Sunday 8 March 2015. Together with other invited speakers such as Lucy-Anne Holmes and Rehab Jameel she will discuss current trends in social media and activism. Over the last few years there has been a genuine rise in feminist activism and debate, from No More Page 3 to the campaigns against FGM and the detention of refugee women. Join our speakers from some of the key areas of protest to find out how to get the word out and create change in today's world, from online campaigning to street protests. Professor Andrew Webber from the University of Cambridge will chair the discussion.
Natasha Walter, Humanitas Visiting Professor in Women's Rights 2014-15, will give two public lectures and participate in the Cambridge Women of the World event on Sunday 8 March 2015. The overall theme of all these events is From Sexism to Solidarity. Abstract Where is this new wave of feminism headed? The outspokenness and energy of individuals and organisations is wonderful to see. How can this energy be harnessed for real change and how far-reaching will these changes be? If we carry feminism through to its real conclusion, all women deserve to be heard and to live in safety; including the currently unheard, the poor, the vulnerable and the stateless. Followed through with honesty and vision, this understanding that feminism must speak up for all women, must cross borders and classes, may pull us into truly radical change.
Natasha Walter, Humanitas Visiting Professor in Women's Rights 2014-15, will give two public lectures and participate in the Cambridge Women of the World event on Sunday 8 March 2015. The overall theme of all these events is From Sexism to Solidarity. Abstract In her first lecture, Natasha Walter will map current patterns of sexism in our society and the ways that apparently trivial sexism may be linked to inequality and abuse. But she will also look at how, in the five years since the publication of her book Living Dolls: the Return of Sexism, a new wave of feminism has arisen which relies on solidarity and action, and which is challenging the grip of sexism on our society.
