BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, Kenya Rape; Desert Migrant Disaster

We look at attitudes to women in Kenya after men accused of rape cut grass as punishment.

We discuss attitudes to women and the judicial system in Kenya after men accused of gang raping a girl of 16 were told to cut grass outside a police camp as punishment. We also look at the case of 92 migrants, including women and children, found dead after trying to cross the desert in Niger. Finally, we're in Boston where the Red Sox have won the baseball World Series.
