	Description:		Why in 2022 is there no position in the Cabinet solely dedicated to the job of Women and Equalities? Why is it always tagged onto another cabinet role? Emma talks to Amber Rudd who juggled the job with being Home Secretary and while she was Work and Pensions Secretary too. Plus Shadow Women and Equalities Minister Anneliese Dodds, who's also Chair of the Labour Party. Do you think motherhood gets enough recognition? We meet the founder of the Glomama Awards, Agnes Agyepong, a space celebrating the achievements of mothers, and one of this year’s winners, Safiyya Vorajee. Plus why more and more organisations are seeking out staff and volunteers with direct experiences to help them front campaigns, fundraise and inform policy. We hear from Tom Quinn, Director of External Affairs at Beat, the UK’s Eating Disorder Charity and Miriam Taylor, a Psychotherapist and author who specialises in trauma about why is it so important to have people with what's termed "lived experience" and why safeguards must be in place to protect them.
