Roundtable

Anti-establishment politics is sweeping across Latin America. By the end of the year, six countries will have gone to the polls. Corruption and crime appear to be the main drivers for change. And Mexico’s new president elect has promised to drive out corruption. It’s a turning point for a country torn apart by crime and violence.

Thousands of people are expected to protest against US President Donald Trump when he arrives in the UK for an official visit.

So will the visit achieve anything of political importance or be drowned out by the protests?

Seated at the Roundtable is Sophie Walker, leader of UK Women’s Equality Party; Shabbir Lakha, Together Against Trump protest organiser; Gina Reinhardt, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Government at the University of Essex and Drew Liquerman, Republicans Overseas spokesman.

The US President’s visit to the UK has been downgraded to a working trip amid threats of protests and boycotts.

Seven years after becoming independent, South Sudan is facing a humanitarian crisis due to ongoing conflict. Millions of refugees are displaced internally and in neighbouring Uganda, and the UN is now calling it the worst humanitarian crisis in Africa since the Rwandan genocide. Peace has been elusive and short-lived. What triggered the civil war and what will it take for an agreement to stick?

Violence against women in India has made national and international headlines. A recent poll ranked it the worst country to be a woman ahead of Syria, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. But India’s Ministry of Women and Child Development says the poll is biased and detracts from the real improvements seen in recent years. So what are conditions like for women in the world's largest democracy?

Joining us at the Roundtable is Vidhi Doshi, the Washington Post’s India Correspondent; Asmita Basu, Amnesty International's India Programme Director; Prabha Kotiswaran, from Kings College London and Adrija Dey, from the South Asia Institute at the School of Oriental and African Studies.

Sexual abuse in India remains widespread despite tightening of rape laws in 2013. And attitudes towards women in rural India are often appalling. A poll ranking India as the worst place to be female consulted 548 experts on women’s issues including aid and development professionals, health workers, policy makers, and journalists. So why is the abuse of women in India so hard to tackle?
