We discuss solutions to stopping online abuse and hear from Charley Hough and Jackie Teale two victims of trolling as well as Isabella Goldie the Director of Development at the Mental Health Foundation and Baroness Warsi who herself has been trolled. Is the role of Minister for Women and Equalities taken seriously enough? Following Amber Rudd's resignation Penny Mordant takes on the role. Helen Lewis deputy editor at the New Statesman and Isabel Hardman assistant editor at The Spectator discuss. Lyse Doucet the BBC's Chief International Correspondant tells us what it's been like to report on the War in Syria over the last eight years. Dr Nikki Stamp is one of the only eleven female heart surgeons in the whole of Australia. She tells us about her new book Can You Die of a Broken Heart? We hear from three women who have successfully applied for Churchill Fellowships - annual opportunities for UK citizens to explore a wide range of issues. Samantha Jury-Dada is looking at girls and women affected by gang violence, Laura Randall is researching ways of identifying children at risk of online abuse and Clare Canning is exploring the use of mindfulness interventions for people who self harm. And what does it feel like to be outnumbered in your own family when you are the father of four girls like Simon Hooper, known on Instagram Father of Daughters or the mother of four boys like writer Ursula Hirschkorn. They discuss. Presented by Jane Garvey Producer: Rabeka Nurmahomed Editor: Jane Thurlow.
