Celebrating women and activism. In a poll, conducted by ComRes for Woman's Hour we asked you about your attitudes to activism, campaigning and public life. Today we hear from three women activists, Mary Barton an animal rights campaigner, Grace Campbell co-founder of the Pink Protest and Harriet MacKenzie-Williams an anti-fracking campaigner about what motivates them and how far they would be willing to go.

We look at the Truth Project set up by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. We hear from the journalist Shiori Ito who went public with rape allegations last year in Japan about why she wants change the culture there.

Next month Zimbabwe has its first election since Robert Mugabe was forced out of power last November. Only a third of current MPs are women, is this an opportunity for more women to enter the political sphere?

Plus, how do you get rid of 'stuff' that had sentimental value to a deceased partner without feeling guilt? Lore Segal tells us about her autobiographical novel 'Other People's Houses' about how she fled the Nazi's aged just 10 on the Kindertransport bound for Britain.

And what do you do when your teenager asks if their boyfriend or girlfriend can stay overnight?
