On 28 September 1985, Lee Lawrence\u2019s mother Cherry Groce was wrongly shot by police during a raid on her Brixton home. The bullet shattered her spine and she never walked again. Soon after it was reported \u2013 wrongly - that Cherry Groce was dead, and two days of rioting took place in Brixton. All this was witnessed by 11-year-old Lee. He became his mother\u2019s carer. After a doctor questioned the cause of his mother\u2019s death in 2011 Lee campaigned fiercely for an inquest, a chance to find out what really happened the day his family\u2019s life was turned upside down. Lee joins Jane tomorrow to talk about his mother, his life as a carer, his fight to get the police to recognise their wrongdoing and his ongoing commitment to challenge racism and fight for justice.

The government has announced it will not go ahead with a change to the Gender Recognition Act which would have allowed trans men and women to self identify rather than go through a medical diagnosis to change their gender. The Equalities and Human Rights Commission has said it was a \u2018missed opportunity\u2019 but women's rights groups have applauded the decision as a \u2018victory for fairness and common sense\u2019. Jane Garvey hears from two of the women who\u2019ve been campaigning on this issue, Dr Heather Peto who is Co-Chair of Labour\u2019s LGBT+ group and Dr Nicola Williams from the group Fair Play for Women.

The 2020 Woman\u2019s Hour Power List is looking for women who are making a significant difference to the health of our planet. But that power doesn\u2019t have to be held on boards or by leading international organisations. Zo\xeb Randle, the Senior Surveys Officer for Butterfly Conservation, tells Jane about the hugely important role played by hundreds of thousands of volunteers \u2013 who are turning their love of nature into hard data that directly influences conservation policy in the UK.

Do you think there should be clearly defined parent/child relationship? Or maybe you think of your family as more of a team or that your child is like a friend. If you\u2019ve been watching the new Netflix series The Duchess which features a mum\u2019s friendship with her child, you may have been asking yourself about your own parenting style. Jane Garvey talks to Dr Holan Liang an NHS Consultant Child & adolescent Psychiatrist in London, a mother and author of the book Inside Out Parenting and Rowan Coleman who\u2019s an author and mother to five children ranging from 19 to twins of 8.
