BBC Radio 4 - In the Name Of

The battle to get a law in your loved one's name.

The battle to get a law in your loved one's name can be long and arduous, so what drives the campaigners on?

Sarah, Della, Nikita, Helen, Harper, Seni. These names, and many others, are linked - united in quests to find a meaningful legacy for their loved ones' lives, Gail Hadfield Grainger meets those campaigning to change the law 
 
Justice campaigner Gail meets two women, Aji Lewis and Della Wright at various stages in their campaigns, discovering their stories and what motivates them to keep fighting. How do they maintain their fight, what drives them on when there are so many obstacles in their paths?
 
These aren't new laws, they just strengthen existing legislation that hasn't been properly enforced, but Gail ask whether good laws can come out of emotional reactions to these horrendous events?

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