  • S4 Ep6: Fahma Mohammed, the schoolgirl who challenged a shocking community tradition

    S4 Ep6: Fahma Mohammed, the schoolgirl who challenged a shocking community tradition
    2024/11/11
    Fahma is one of our youngest-ever award winners. She was just 17 when she was given the Young Campaigner of the Year Award in 2014 in recognition of her remarkable efforts to highlight and ban the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM). A petition she started as a schoolgirl collected over 240,000 signatures and was supported by Nobel prize winner Malala Yousefzai and then UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon. Her campaign resulted in compulsory training for public sector works so they could identify and help girls at risk.

    Ten years on, Fahma, who remains as dedicated to tackling gender and racial inequality reflects on the roots of her activism - which started when she was only 13 - and how it was nurtured by a very special teacher and talks about the reactions of her Somali community to her efforts, what she wished she had realised about the career opportunities that were open to her and why being the eldest of 10 children is so important to her.

  • S4 Ep7: Susie Hart, the creative activist who is changing attitudes towards disability

    S4 Ep7: Susie Hart, the creative activist who is changing attitudes towards disability
    2024/11/04
    Life for someone with disabilities is challenging wherever you live, but even more so if that’s in the developing world. As our 2010 Window on the World award winner discovered when she was living and working in Tanzania. Seeing people with disabilities begging on the streets, Susie put her degree in textiles to use and set up a social enterprise to provide crafts training and employment for people with disabilities. Starting with three deaf trainees and budget of just £400, by the time Susie left Tanzania ten years later, her centre, which included training facilities and an award-winning cafe, was working with over 120 people with a huge range of disabilities. Returning to the UK wasn’t the end of Susie’s efforts to create opportunities for people with disabilities. Very far from it. Her work now reaches communities here and not just in Tanzania but in Equador and Peru too.

    In this episode Susie reveals the reason why she is able to specially connect with the people she works with, how she met the challenge of being a young white woman trying to bring about change in an African country, who the childhood heroine of hers was who nominated her for her award and the surprising skill that brings her so much joy.

    S4 Ep4: Nina Barough, the charity founder who walks with her decorated bra on show
    2024/10/28
    Many of our award winners say that it felt like a dream being a winner. None, though, have been chosen to be the recipient because of a dream! But that’s how Nina, the winner of the Women of the Year 2008 Outstanding Achievement Award says she came up with the idea of launching the first Moonwalk, a night time marathon walk through the streets of London to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer where all the participants wore their, often highly decorated, bras very much on show

    Since then the Moonnwalks have happened annually, not just in London but in other places around the UK and the world, Walk the Walk, the charity Nina founded has raised over £143 million to support work done for and with breast cancer patients and research into the disease, and Nina has been awarded a CBE.

    Nina recalls the shocking co-incidence that happened after her first fund-raising walk, how her work has been behind a fundamental shift in cancer care, and the reason why her experience of the Women of the Year lunch was unique.
