Afghan Refugee Resettlement, Greenham Common, Rebecca Welch

For the last few weeks on Woman's Hour, we've been following the desperate efforts of those trying to flee Afghanistan. As the government sets out details of what it is calling ‘Operation Warm Welcome’ - its scheme to resettle recently arrived Afghan refugees- we hear from Louise Calvey of Refugee Action, on what is currently being done currently, and what we can do to help. Forty years ago this week, 36 people from a campaign group called Women for Life on Earth marched from Cardiff to the Greenham Common RAF base in Newbury in Berkshire to protest against the British government allowing US nuclear missiles on British soil. Realising that march was not enough, many stayed at Greenham to continue their protest and were joined by women all over the world to form the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp. They stayed there for almost twenty years, in what would become the largest, most effective woman-led protest since the Suffrage campaign. Last week another group set-out from Cardiff to commemorate and follow the route of the original protesters. We speak to Rebecca Mordan and Sue Say live from their walk to remember Greenham and its continuing importance today. Rebecca Welch has become the first female referee to be added to the English Football League's national group list for men's football. Rebecca became the first woman to officiate an EFL match in April when she took charge of Harrogate's 2-0 League Two defeat to Port Vale. She's said it was never her plan to officiate, as she went from working full-time as an NHS administrator, only playing football for fun, to eleven years later, making history as the first woman on the EFL’s referees list this season. She joins Emma live. Presented by Emma Barnett Produced by Frankie Tobi
