Hi, I'm Armin Olney. Thanks so much for listening to To the Point and Which Way, L.A.

You know, Elvis Mitchell has the inside scoop on all things pop culture.

Every week, he hosts intimate conversations with creators and directors and actors and more about what makes them tick.

And each week, I'm amazed at what I hear on The Treatment.

You can find the treatment on KCRW's iTunes page.

From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

Women's equality, violence, and laws around the globe.

Hello again, I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International.

A daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

At the UN this week, world leaders are pledging gender equality by 2030, but that's what they've

been promising for the past 20 years.

Despite some progress

against legal discrimination, more than a third of the world's women directly experience

physical violence. Even where laws have been changed, implementation is lacking, and in some places,

advances have been reversed. At the 59th session of the Commission on the Status of Women,

we'll hear that the mood is one of impatience. Today's talking point, Hillary Clinton, breaks her silence about the

exclusive use of private emails when she was Secretary of State. First, here's the news.

Listen to KCRW's 24-hour all-news channel, stream BBC World Service, NPRW programs, continuous coverage on our mobile app or online at kCRW.

Support for To the Point comes from the members of KCRW and from the Public Radio International Program Fund.

Hello again, Mormon, I'll need back with To The Point. For 20 years, world leaders have promised gender equality, but honor killings, rape, and domestic abuse are still prevalent in many places.

We'll 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.
