In this edition, we meet French farmer Laura Chalendard, who reported a sexual assault in 2023 and when no charges followed, launched a #MeToo movement in the agricultural sector to empower women to speak out against sexual violence. Also how perimenopause and menopause in female employees are worsening Germany's labour shortage and prompting a number of companies to confront what has long been one of the last workplace taboos. Plus how a team of elderly women in eastern Uganda use cricket to ease stress and field loneliness while staying on the front foot against health challenges.
