Murders Of Prominent Iraqi Women

Everywoman

Available for over a year

80 women took up seats in the National Assembly as a result of the Iraqi elections in January - but Islamic militants have killed a number of prominent women, including Dr Aqila Al Hashimi. What hope is there for true democracy in a country which seems to be getting more conservative? Also on the programme: Do men overreact when they get ill? Author John Naish explores this in his book, The Hypochondriac's Handbook.
