Feminist legal theorist Professor Catharine MacKinnon has had a significant impact on how discrimination and crimes against women are understood. Her book, Are Women Human, considered women’s status in an international human rights framework. We hear the Melbourne University Dean’s Lecture she delivered in 2007, “Women’s Status, Men’s States”.

"No Woman Really Assimilates"
Producer: Elanor McInerney
Broadcast: Friday 20 April 2012 |
On this week's program we remember the late American feminist and poet Adrienne Rich.
Adrienne Rich died on 27 March, aged 82. She wrote many volumes of poetry, including The Dream of a Common Language, and was an influential writer on identity and women's liberation. This week we will hear a conversation Adrienne Rich had in 1983 with poet Eloise Klein Healy about her work and life, courtesy of the Pacifica Radio archives.
In 1951 Adrienne Rich's first collection of poetry, A Change of World, was selected by W. H. Auden to win the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award. We begin with her discussion of that time.
Thanks to Pacifica Radio for this audio from their archives. Pacifica Radio can be found online at kpfa.org

Tainted Love
Producer: Clemmie Wetherall
Broadcast: Friday 13 April 2012 |
What would you do if you discovered somebody you loved was looking at child pornography? Who would you turn to for help? What if you suspected a child was being abused? Would you know what to do?
Unfortunately many people wouldn't know what to do, where to go, or who to tell. And the services that are needed in these situations are struggling to meet the public's needs.
Our guests are Natalie Walker from PartnerSPEAK: stopping pornographic exploitation against kids and Bernadette McMenamin, CEO of Child Wise, an international organisation that is dedicated to preventing child abuse and exploitation.
