Summary

Susannah Walker and Imogen Clark are the two (very excellent) women behind Make Space For Girls, and you may remember Mick had a chat with them a couple of years ago when the charity was just nine months old. Two years on and its campaign to make our parks and public spaces more friendly and accommodating for tween and teenaged girls continues apace, so Mick caught up with Susannah to talk about their recently released Parkwatch report, the fact that most parks have more facilities for dog waste than for teenage girls, and why we’re still in the situation where 90% of the facilities provided are about 90% used by the male 50% of the population. It’s not all doom, gloom and nowhere to go for girls, though: Susannah also has good news. Praise be! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. Hosted on Acast.

1:10.7	Hello there, Mickey here. I'm just at a carrot. I mean, not particularly
1:15.2	interesting information, but when you first start out in podcasting,
1:18.5	one of the things that you're told not to do is to eat just before you record.
1:23.6	And I think maybe it's just because I'm a total professional now. But I feel fine,
1:28.3	I've eaten the carrot. I don't think it's affected me. I mean, it was delicious, had a nice time,
