  • I'm Catherine and I'm Lee.

  • And today we are talking about women's rights.

  • Catherine, do you think women's rights are well covered by the media?

  • Covered means talked about and I would say it could be better, to be honest.

  • Many women's magazines are all about beauty tips, fashion and how to please your man.

  • Now I'm interested in the real issues.

  • One thing the media doesn't talk about much is what the role of childless women like myself is.

  • And childless means having no children.

  • Yes, in some societies, the role of women, role,

  • the way they are expected to behave is to have children.

  • If they don't, it's like there is something wrong with them and they are supposed to be unhappy.

  • I have no children and I'm very happy.

  • Anyway, women in various countries around the world want to discuss problems which are close to home.

  • And that's why the BBC has organised a series of programmes to discuss some issues that affect half the world's population.

  • The series is called A Hundred Women and it's the theme of this Six Minute English.

  • The discrimination against women happens in different ways in different countries.

  • Discrimination means the unjust treatment of people who belong to different groups.
