The BBC World Service programme The Forum was guest presented by Mary Robinson on Saturday 28 July.
The Forum is “an ideas discussion show which tackles the big questions of our age with some of the world’s most eminent minds.”
Mary Robinson was joined by panellists Laurence Goldman, Prof John Sulston and Tahmima Anam to discuss Inequality. The challenge of our age? at a live recording in the RSA, London where they debated such questions as: Do we have a moral responsibility to reduce inequality for the next generation? Is there a danger that by striving for equality between the sexes we’re actually ignoring real differences between men and women? And is the idea of a world without extremes of inequality a utopian fantasy?
