Facing Prejudice and Getting Ahead

Everywoman

Available for over a year

Black and Asian women talk about the challenges of setting up their own businesses in the UK. Also on the programme: A widow from The Troubles in Northern Ireland, and a Swaziland widow, talk about how bereavement has affected them, how they're expected to behave, and the support - or lack of it - from wider society. And one woman talks about how becoming politically active helped her cope with the loss of her husband.
