Muslim Women and Sharia Law

We hear three women discuss their experiences of using Sharia Councils.

We hear three women discuss their experiences of using Sharia Councils after more than 100 Muslim women in Britain complained about their treatment under two government probes into Sharia law. Also, we speak to people inside the Canadian indigenous communities where six girls aged between 10 and 14 have taken their own lives in the last month. Plus, the conversation in India around efforts to bring an end to open defecation.
