Janie Dee, Sport gender pay disparity, Behind Closed Doors.

Programme that offers a female perspective on the world. Janie Dee on her new play Monogamy, the sex trade, the gender disparity in sports, and creating suffrage centenary banners.

A recent report, Behind Closed Doors, found sexual exploitation of women by organised crime was "widespread". Is criminalising those who pay for sex & shutting down websites where sex workers advertise the best way to stem this problem? MP, Jess Phillips and part of the APPG who published the research & sex worker, Marianne Davies, talk to Jenni.

Forbes has published a list of the top 100 earning sports stars around the world, and for the first time it doesn't include any women. Serena Williams, who featured last year doesn't make it in 2018 because she took time out to have a baby. What impact does this pay gap have on women's sport in general and what is being done to close it? Sports writer and Chair of Women in Football Anna Kessel joins Jenni. 

Janie Dee, award-winning British actress, singer and musical theatre performer joins me to discuss her latest role in a new play called Monogamy at the Park Theatre in North London. 

On Sunday women in Edinburgh, London, Belfast and Cardiff will take part in a mass participation artwork 'Processions' to celebrate 100 years since some women won the right to vote. 100-women artists have been commissioned by the organisers, 14-18 Now and Artichoke, to create 100-centenary banners. Made in Roath is an arts festival tasked with creating one of the Welsh ones. Tamsin Smith went to Cardiff to meet the artist. Jenni speaks to Helen Marriage, Director of Artichoke.

Presenter: Jenni Murray.

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