Violence against women in Mexico

BBC World Service - Weekend, Violence against women in Mexico

Anger in Mexico over violence against women; a fall in the cases of Coronavirus in China

Why there's growing anger in Mexico over violence against women.

Also in the programme: China reports a fall in the number of new Coronavirus cases for a third consecutive day.

And we'll have the latest from Beijing and from Japan where there's been a sharp increase in infections on board a cruise liner docked off the Japanese port of Yokohama.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Celia Szusterman, director of the Latin American Programme at the Institute for Statecraft here in London, and Nick Grono, chief executive of the Freedom Fund, a global charity that campaigns to eradicate modern day slavery.
