In this edition, sportswear giant, Decathlon, scraps plans to sell a hijab for women runners in France following a massive public outcry. Also we meet Kenyan activist, Nice Nailantei Leng'ete, who not only ran away at the age of eight and escaped female genital mutilation but also went on to help some 15,000 girls avoid the same fate. Plus anger over a Ugandan government-sponsored beauty pageant called "Miss Curvy," with critics saying it promotes sex tourism.
