The Woman's Hour Power List this week has been criticised for being rather predictable and class-based - for not including, for example, the women who came forward over Jimmy Savile. Do you think these lists do women any favours?

Hi Stella - I wondered how you got involved in this important campaign?

Following the very sad case of Frances Andrade what ideas has the Labour Party got to try to lessen the trauma of rape victims giving evidence in court? Could they give their evidence via a video link and still be cross examined for instance?

Definitely supporting this campaign. If everyone puts it on Facebook, twitter etc. there will be 1billion rising!

Stella, thanks for promoting One Billion Rising. Will you be able to raise this momentous campaign in the Hose of Commons, and do you know how far the media are going to publicise the events on 14 February?

Gransnet is supporting One Billion Rising, a global movement protesting against violence against women. (Thank you to those gransnetters who called on us to do this!)

In this country, the campaign has been led by Stella Creasy, MP for Walthamstow. We're delighted that she's agreed to come in for a live webchat on Wednesday to talk about the issue - the one billion women who will be raped or beaten in their lifetime - and what a billion of us can do to protest on Thursday.

Stella is a rising star of the Labour Party and the shadow minister with responsibility for violence against women. She recently ran a highly successful campaign against payday loans.
