Presented by Jane Garvey. Political unrest in the Middle East: the implications for women.

Presented by Jane Garvey. Political unrest in the Middle East - the implications for women; lonely hearts ads; the ethics of 'saviour siblings'; and the art of silence.

Presented by Jane Garvey. Unrest in Egypt and Tunisia - will the rest of the Middle East be affected? And how are the lives of women changing? Artist Becky Hastings has spent January in silence. She joins Jane to enjoy her first good natter and reflect on the nature of verbal and non-verbal communication. We discuss the ethics of "saviour siblings" - children created to help save the life of another - and trace the history of the lonely hearts ads in newspapers, magazines and online.
