The French government proposes new laws on dealing with incest as figures reveal that some 160,000 French children are victims of incest every year. Annette Young talks to Franco-American author and journalist, Iris Brey, whose latest book tackles the issue. As the protests in Iran continue, Iranian women living-in-exile are closely watching events unfold with horror as the government enforces a harsh crackdown. Plus Brussels' famed comic strip walk and its murals are accused of sexism, forcing city officials to take unique steps.
