Hello and welcome to Weekend Woman's Hour, where we bring you a selection of highlights from the week just gone.

Coming up, Leanne Rimes, the Grammy award-winning singing superstar joins us to discuss her new album,

turning 40 and growing up in the spotlight.

As a child star, most people don't survive it. I joke, but it's true. That's been my greatest feat in this life,

as surviving up until now and then, like I said, thriving at this point, so it's a rough life to navigate.

We discuss why women footballers might be more likely to speak out about the FIFA World Cup in Qatar,

and have you heard of Althea Mukneesh? We learn about the career and legacy of the first Caribbean designer to achieve international recognition.

But first.

On Thursday's programme, we looked at allegations of sexual assault in the Royal Navy, a woman who served for 20 years has broken her silence,

and spoken for the first time about something she's never felt able to share before.

We're calling her Catherine to protect her identity, and shortly you're going to hear her talk about being raped while serving on a ship.

She became pregnant as a result, and then a senior colleague suggested she have an abortion.

She's felt compelled to speak now because of a series of allegations about the treatment of women in the Royal Navy in newspapers in recent weeks.

Those allegations have focused on the experience of women on submarines, but today we hear an insight into life on board ships.

Women have been allowed to serve alongside men on ships since 1993 and on submarines since 2011.

Catherine remains very proud of her years of service, a poignant truth to not lose sight of, especially on the eve of Remembrance Sunday, as we remember the service of our armed forces.

Here is the woman we're calling Catherine, her words are spoken by an actor. Emma began by asking her about her experience on her first ship,

and we should warn you that the following interview may include descriptions of events, some listeners may find distressing.

I can remember on the very first ship that I joined, it was very clear that the men weren't necessarily happy with having the women on board,

and they were still trying their kind of little ways to make you feel unhappy, so that you would complain, and that the powers that be would think,

oh, actually, this isn't working, let's get women off the ships again.

It was really tough, actually, where for so many years we had to prove that we could do the job, but sadly, that also meant that we had to part with wrong behaviour.
