BBC World Service - People Fixing The World, Fighting sexism in society

We look at how entrenched sexist attitudes towards women are being tackled

We look at how entrenched sexist attitudes towards women are being tackled through workshops and other projects.

Across the world millions of women and girls face discrimination and worse because of their gender. On this edition of People Fixing The World we look at projects designed to change attitudes. In India we visit workshops aimed at recruiting younger men as allies in the fight against sexism and gender inequality. And we speak to the founder of Chalk Back, a street art initiative that encourages women to write sexist remarks they’ve been the target of onto pavements in chalk to highlight the problem of street harassment.
