Hosted by
For 20 years world leaders have promised gender equality, but honor killings, rape and domestic abuse are still prevalent in many places.  We hear about this week's 59th session of the UN's Commission on the Status of Women, the progress that has been made and how much is left to be done.

Also, the Obama Administration seeks war authorization against ISIS, and Hillary Clinton breaks her silence about the exclusive use of private emails when she was Secretary of State. Did her first news conference in two years settle the question… or not?
