BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, The Saudi women held for driving; Gender and careers after university

Jenni Murray presents an update on the Saudi women being held for driving.

Jenni Murray hears an update on the Saudi women being held for driving. Plus how gender affects careers after university.

Two women's rights campaigners tried to drive into Saudi Arabia last year and we get the latest on their situation from Rothna Begum, Woman's Rights Researcher at Human Rights Watch for the Middle East and North Africa. Research shows that more men than women leave University for a graduate level job, we ask why? And, the end of a relationship is difficult, but is it worse when the partner you thought was heterosexual leaves you for a same sex relationship? And, after getting advice from Indian self reliant groups, we hear about the Scottish women who have started a business.
