Men and relationships, Amnesty International sex work debate, Penelope Mortimer

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Men and relationships, Amnesty International sex work debate, Penelope Mortimer

Men and relationships, women in horse racing, and Amnesty International and sex work.

Suzi Godson hears about young men's attitudes to commitment, jockey Hayley Turner discusses women in horse racing, and Amnesty International's review of the sex trade is explored.

Men and Relationships: in the first in a special four week series Suzi Godson hears from men in their twenties through to their eighties, beginning with young men's attitudes to commitment. 

We speak to jockey Hayley Turner about women in horse racing and competing alongside men. 

As Amnesty International prepares to review an internal policy document on the sex trade, we look at the debate around decriminalisation. 

And, Penelope Mortimer's novel The Pumpkin Eater is the subject of our drama this week. Rachel Cooke, explains why it's such an important work.

Presenter: Emma Barnett
Producer: Helen Fitzhenry.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
