Are boys better than girls? – podcast

Seven young women from across the world share their hopes and dreams for the future. The result is a fascinating snapshot of what it is like to be a 13-year-old girl in today's world.

Among the voices we hear are Assia in Kigali, Rwanda, who takes us around her family's banana plantation, and Ana in Peru, who finds the time to look after her ill mother and attend school, two hours away from home.

Reporters: Zofeen Ebrahim, Celeste Hicks, Deborah Doane, Dan Collyns, Zoe Flood, Stephanie Aglietti, Sibylla Brodzinsky.
