Femicide in Latin America: Where simply being a woman puts you at risk of murder
In this special edition, The 51 Percent host, Annette Young, heads to Buenos Aires with Virginie Herz and Liliana Valencia, her fellow presenters from the French and Spanish versions of the show. The vibrant Argentinian capital is located in a region seen as being particularly dangerous for women, thanks to its high rate of gender-related killings. For example, in Argentina, it is estimated a woman is murdered every 34 hours. FRANCE 24 met up with those who are determined to make a difference.

Not such a feminist paradise: Iceland struggles to deal with violence towards women
We take a look at Iceland that has one of Europe's highest per-capita levels of reported rapes; the very same nation that for nine years, has topped the World Economic Forum's list as having the world's smallest gender-equality gap. We also talk to Nida Januskis from one of France's leading business schools, INSEAD, on the challenge in making the corporate world more female friendly. Plus cheers for the first woman to publicly perform solo at a concert in Saudi Arabia. (Still the audience was made up of women only.)
