How Fat Feels, Rosamund Lupton, Sexual Violence in Conflict


Listen Later

Back in 2018 we had a series called How Fat Feels. It included 16 year old Phoebe who told us how she felt about her body and how her weight has affected her as a teenager. Today Phoebe joins Jane in the studio to listen back to that interview and reflect on how she is now.

The Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative was first championed by Lord Hague and Angelina Jolie in 2014.

Baroness Arminka Helic, who was part of the Initiative from the start, joins Jane to discuss.

Rosamund Lupton has brought out a new thrllier. It's called Three Hours and is about a school shooting in rural Somerset.
