Last week Canada's highest court struck down the country’s anti-prostitution laws, siding with a group of sex workers who argued the ban made their work more dangerous. We'll took a look at the potential impact of the court's decision. Then we'll examine the state of press freedom in 2013 and we'll take a look at some of the global movements headed by women.
