A women's rights group has written to the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, demanding an inquiry into what it calls the "systematic misogyny" displayed by significant numbers of male Muslim councillors. Muslim Women Network UK says the practice of men preventing Muslim women from becoming councillors is widespread. So is this about a cultural mindset imported from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh or is that just an excuse for bad behaviour? Do men still want women not to have a voice in society? Listen to the phone-in reaction.
