Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Cathy is joined by Nawal el Saadawi, the internationally renowned writer who has been the voice of Egyptian feminism for the past forty-five years.

As part of our occasional series about inspirational moments in our lives, Lucie Armstrong explains why she went to a local support group for her autistic son, but was then inspired to get more involved and give something back.

Issues around sexual consent have been peppering the news for months, with a forthcoming programme on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Three this week highlighting the subject from a teenage perspective. Cathy hears from young students Tomiwa and James about their thoughts on the topic, and Ranald Mair who works in social care; and Sandy Brindley, the National Coordinator for Rape Crisis Scotland, discuss why this is an issue that young and old continue to struggle with.

Since writers first put pen to paper, their own experiences have provided them with inspiration. But can you overstep the line and be too candid and revealing about your closest family and friends? Cathy talks to Reverend Philip Blackledge of Holy Trinity Melrose, and author Jenni Fagan to discuss how morally just, is it, to write about people, without their consent, for your own personal gain.

Friday saw the return of the comedy series Citizen Khan, following the trials and tribulations of Mr Khan, a loud-mouthed, patriarchal, cricket-loving community leader. Is it a fond comedy send-up or just reinforcing old stereotypes? Cathy is joined by Aman de Sondy, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam at University College Cork, and Reverend Philip Blackledge.

Aman De Sondy also discusses his recently launched book "The Crisis of Islamic Masculinities" and why we need to have more than one version of Islamic masculinity or femininity.
