UN urges action to safeguard the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan.

UN calls for urgent action on the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan. We hear from Fawzia Koofi, a former vice-president of the Afghan parliament.  

Also, how urban gardens are easing food shortages in parts of Brazil. 

And a landmark exhibition opens in London telling the story of African fashion.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Tony Connell, RTE Europe Editor and author; and Kate Clark, co-Director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network.
