What We've Been Reading
Hi there comrades,
For our first What We've Been Reading section, we've chosen the theme of Women, and we've got three great links to get your cogs whirring:
Women in frontline service provision play a vital role and must be protected : http://bit.ly/XDFCzX
This article, from the Guardian, details the crucial role of female health workers in countries such as Pakistan and Nigeria. These women are often greatly endangered in their jobs because of prevalent sexism towards women in public spaces.
BBC Radio 4's Women Hour - Power List : http://bbc.in/14WUIXv
Women's Hour have compiled a list of the UK's 100 most powerful women. There are some wonderful and inspiring figures here, so do take a look.
More Jessica Ennis, less Paris Hilton : http://bit.ly/12Zk4p6
Here's a piece which takes an interesting look at the sexualisation and 'pornification' of our society, and how improvement of sex education and the role models we promote to our children could help increase self-esteem and promote good values.
That's all for this week, hope you enjoyed these and do leave your suggestions for future themes. Much Labour Love x
