Afghanistan, Adoption, Lesley Manville

Women's voices and women's lives - topical conversations to inform, challenge and inspire.

We continue reporting on what's happening to women and children in Afghanistan. We hear from our 麻豆社 corespondent in Kabul, Secunder Kermani. Also Larissa Brown who's Defence Editor at The Times tells us about women soldiers in Afghanistan, and we speak to Zarghuna Kargar who used to present Afghan Woman's Hour and this week found herself translating a Taliban press conference. It was her voice telling us what a Taliban spokesman said.

We hear from Andrea Leadsom, MP who's the government's Early Years Adviser.

Two women who've adopted talk to us about the ups and downs.

And we've also got Lesley Manville on talking about her new TV drama called I Am, which is about a woman called Maria who's 60 and bored.
