In Senegal, ‘law shops’ help women assert their rights

Brazil has more than three million "ghost citizens": people who don't have a birth certificate or ID card.

Domestic violence is on the rise, but under-reported in Cameroon.

It was only a leak of a draft. Yet punches have already been thrown outside the US Supreme Court in the first standoff over Justice Samuel Alito's 98-page argument in favour of overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalised abortion in the United States. We ask whether the document leaked to Politico is a turning point for more than just reproductive rights.

In this week's show, we take a look at why the constitutional right to abortion in the United States appears to be in the crosshairs of the Supreme Court.

Our international commentator Douglas Herbert will break down the implications of this event.
