Brass Tacks

on BBC Two England

Eric Robson invites people to talk about issues directly concerning them.
Fathers and Daughters
Growing up isn't easy at the best of times. When you've been brought up in a minority community, it can be particularly painful. For girls of Asian origin, the strains of living between two cultures sometimes prove too much.
Brass Tacks visits Leicester where a proposal to set up a hostel for runaway girls has split the Asian communities. Most young Asians see the need for a hostel; for many of their parents, it's an unnecessary complication which challenges both their authority and their culture.
Experts in the Manchester studio are joined by young Asians at the Brass Tacks outside broadcast in Leicester.

Some BBC LoCal Radio Stations in England are giving their audience a chance to state their views on this issue - in phone-ins following Brass Tacks.
