Woman's Hour craft prize and the Newcastle convictions
Following another another set of convictions for child sex abuse, we attempt to get a sense of what women in the affected communities are saying and how they're feeling.
Laura Youngson Coll is another of our 12 finalists for the Woman's hour Craft Prize in partnership with the V&A and the Crafts Council. She makes intricate sculptures out of vellum, inspired by biological phenomena.
There's been another set of convictions for child sex abuse. This week in Newcastle and the men came from a range of Asian backgrounds. We've also seen it in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Bristol, Aylesbury, Peterborough and Derby. Today we get a sense of what women in the affected communities are saying and how they're feeling.
We continue talking to women about the impact of Indian Partition on them. Two Hindu women, Krishna and Gul, born and raised in Karachi, were unaware of the disruption already taking place other than the fight for independence from the British. They reveal their shock as teenagers of the swift and sudden effects of the division of their nation seventy years later.
The last of our series on unworn wedding dresses. Today we speak to Sunny in Nottingham.
