Emily Atack

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

How does sexual harassment – both online and in real life – affect a person’s sense of self worth? This is one of the many questions actor and comedian Emily Atack has been asking herself and others in her new documentary, and as she campaigns for parliament to change the law around cyberflashing.

 

In this chat, Emily and Fearne share their experiences of everything from catcalling and being sent unsolicited photos online, to the way the world has made them feel about their own bodies. Plus, they try to unravel why it is that society struggles to allow women to be sexy and smart at the same time.

 

Emily Atack: Asking For It? will air on BBC Two and iPlayer at 9pm on Tuesday 31st January.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
