Domestic violence leave, Debbie Horsfield, Sherin Khankan, and the science of dating.

Paid leave for domestic violence victims in New Zealand, Debbie Horsfield on Age before Beauty, Sherin Khankan on founding Denmark's first women's mosque, the science of dating.

New Zealand has just passed legislation to give domestic violence victims 10 days of paid leave. Green MP, Jan Logie spent seven years working to get it made into law - she explains why and we discuss how it could work in England and Wales. We hear from award-winning Poldark writer Debbie Horsfield about her new BBC drama Age before Beauty set in a Manchester, family salon. Sherin Khankan talks to Jane about becoming a female imam, founding the first mosque for women in Denmark - a country where niqabs and burkhas are banned - and making a stand as an Islamic feminist. The next instalment of the Woman's Lab, which tries to find new ways to solve practical problems in women's lives., is looking at dating and today: how science explains how we find lasting love. Evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin and zoologist, Dr Tristram Wyatt, a Zoologist who both work at Oxford University explain.
