Feminism in the Arab world: The new wave of activists A new wave of feminism is beginning to emerge in the Arab world but how successful will it be? Annette Young talks to Lina Abirafeh, a specialist on women's rights in the region. Also Tunisia marks 50 years since it became the only Arab country to legalise abortion. Yet it is still very much viewed as a taboo and women face many obstacles in order to access the procedure. Plus a UK campaign seeking to end public harassment of women, uses a powerful video which shows men making excuses for inappropriate behaviour.
