In tonight's show, we look at reactions to François Hollande's 'mic drop' moment and scour rumors about Manuel Valls preparing to run for the Socialist party's primaries. Gambians celebrate on Twitter after long time President Jammeh is beaten in elections. Finally, an Algerian minister for women's affair creates a Twitter storm by suggesting women in the public sector should forfeit their salaries to help steer the country through a financial crisis.
Annette Young speaks to Matthew Connelly, a writer and historian at Columbia University. His book "A Diplomatic Revolution: Algeria's Fight for Independence and the Origins of the Post-Cold War Era", has just been translated into French.
The ongoing struggle for women to be taken seriously; and why we lack authority in the minds of so many men. Annette Young talks to UK journalist and broadcaster, Mary Ann Sieghart, who's written a book entitled 'The Authority Gap.' Also as the conflict in Sudan grinds on, we are witnessing the sad and inevitable increase in sexual and gender violence against women and girls as millions flee danger. Plus how swimming lessons for girls in the Maldives, not only saves lives but also gives them access to jobs in once inaccessible sectors such as tourism and fishing.
In Iraq's largely conservative and patriarchal society, a women-run catering service has helped single mothers achieve financial security amid the brutal IS rule and the war to defeat it. ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
As FRANCE 24 marks the one-year anniversary of the protest movement sparked by the death of Mahsa Jina Amini, we speak to documentary filmmaker Mina Keshavarz – one of the many Iranian artists who have been jailed for their work. Her 2020 film "The Art of Living in Danger" follows a group of lawyers and activists as they fight against domestic violence, shining a light on Iran's long history of women's resistance. Keshavarz says that while she knows that this movement didn't happen overnight, it has both surprised her and given her hope.
