Protests in Turkey, Adolescence, Women in Revolt! exhibition
We hear more about the protests in Turkey and the women involved in them.
Last night saw the fifth night of fierce protests across Turkey, after the main rival politician to the country's President Erdogan, was formally arrested and charged with corruption, having been detained on Wednesday. Ekrem Imamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul, has been declared as the CHP - the Republican People's Party's 2028 presidential nominee - in the last few hours. Women are being seen on the streets in their thousands and Imamoglu's wife, Dilek Kaya Imamoglu, addressed crowds outside of the Istanbul city hall yesterday. Clare McDonnell discusses the situation with the 麻豆官网首页入口's Emily Wither and Feride Eralp, a feminist activist in Turkey.
Since its release, the Netflix TV series Adolescence has caused widespread discussion about what鈥檚 shaping our teenagers鈥� lives. The four-part series follows the fallout from 13-year-old Jamie鈥檚 arrest on suspicion of murdering his female classmate, Katie. The show is a critique of social media-boosted toxic masculinity and its role in the teenage experience. Clare discusses the issues with clinical psychologist, Dr Amani Milligan and Consultant Forensic Psychologist, Dr Ruth Tully.
The National Crime Agency has launched a month-long social media campaign to combat the threat posed to teenage boys (15-17 years old) by financially motivated sexual extortion or 鈥榮extortion鈥�. Marie Smith from the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Emma Hardy from Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) explain why this campaign is so urgent.
Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970-1990 is a landmark exhibition currently on at the Whitworth in Manchester featuring more than 90 women artists and collectives whose ideas helped fuel the women鈥檚 liberation movement during a period of significant social, economic and political change. Clare is joined by Linsey Young, independent curator and researcher who curated the exhibition when she worked at Tate Britain, and Amrita Dhallu, also herself a curator.
