    Faika El-Nagashi is the founder and director of the Athena Forum, a European initiative for sex-based rights, democratic values, and political courage.

    Political scientist, human rights advocate and former member of parliament in Austria, Faikia has spent over three decades advocating for women's rights within Europe.

    Faika explains the convoluted political structure within both the EU and the European Council, and how influential ideological fringe lobbyists and NGOs frustrate the recognition of sex-based rights.

  • In Conversation with Kemi Badenoch

    In Conversation with Kemi Badenoch

    Join Heather Binning in conversation with special guest Kemi Badenoch, Leader of HM Opposition, Leader of the UK Conservative Party and Conservative MP for North West Essex.

    After a career in IT and then in the financial sector, she turned her sights to politics, taking her seat in Parliament in 2017. Amongst her many roles in Government and in opposition, she has been Minister for Women and Equalities

    Kemi discusses the frustration elected representatives face when agenda driven activists are provided the loudest voice on Select committees that are failing in their duty to scrutinise government policy and performance without prejudice.

    WRN members questions are put to Kemi on topical issues such as the concerning impact on our younger generations accessing highly sexualised, degrading material via the internet, Bridget Phillipson's delay in approving the EHRC guidance, women’s rights as a focal electoral issue and the power of women supporting each other, regardless of political leaning.

    In conversation with Sharron Davies and Tracy Edwards, Women’s Sports Union
    Jan 22 2026

    Heather Binning hosted this interview with two British sporting legends, Sharron Davies and Tracy Edwards.

    The refusal of so many sports bodies, regulators, unions (and currently the UK government) to recognise the importance of delivering fair sporting opportunities for women and girls, be it recreational or at elite level, inspired Sharron and Tracy to set up the Women’s Sports Union.

    A fascinating, inspiring interview filled with anecdotes, infuriating stats but most importantly, hope.
