Division Over Abortion In Nicaragua

Everywoman

Available for over a year

The parents of the 9-year old Nicaraguan rape victim, who arranged an abortion for her, despite the government turning down their application for this, have been forced to go into hiding with their child. Why is this case continuing to cause such huge division in Nicaraguan society? Also on the programme: Turning quilts into works of art - why the quilts of generations of American women are museum pieces. Plus, an interview with the Muslim Norwegian comedienne Shabana Rehman who's not afraid to criticise her religion.
