Jenni Murray is joined by this year鈥檚 judging panel at the launch of this year鈥檚 Power List. Who鈥檚 influencing the way you live your life? Woman鈥檚 Hour will identify ten women who have a huge impact on our lives, not because of their job title but because of their personal impact and their ability to influence others. Over the coming weeks we debate how influence operates and who has it, providing a real snap shot of this unseen power at work in modern Britain and the women who wield it. The final ranked list will be revealed at the beginning of July. On the panel: Emma Barnett, award-winning journalist and broadcaster, Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine, distinguished human rights lawyer Helena Kennedy, Radio 1 presenter Gemma Cairney, and Jane Shepherdson, Chief Executive at Whistles. Who would you like to see on the list? You can influence the judges by getting in touch on email or @蜜芽传媒WomansHour #WHPowerList

Last week former Oxford University student Elizabeth Ramey failed in her bid to launch a legal challenge against the university for its 鈥渦nlawful鈥� and 鈥渄iscriminatory鈥� sexual assault complaints procedure. She had argued that the university鈥檚 policy of investigating only 鈥渋n extremely limited circumstances鈥� left women at risk. She brought the case after she reported she was raped by a fellow student in 2011 but she says the university failed to properly investigate her case. However the judge dismissed her bid saying it was 鈥榥ot arguable鈥� as the university鈥檚 new policy was not in place when she was studying. So what responsibilities do universities have to handle sexual assault claims? To explain, Jenni is joined by Sarah Green, Acting Director of End Violence Against Women who supported the case, and by the lawyer Dr Ann Olivarius.

Katherine Garrett-Cox is one of the most high-profile women in the City. She鈥檚 just received this year鈥檚 Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award. She talks to Jenni about what she wants from the new Government 鈥� more women on boards, and help with returning to work after having children so more women can keep their careers on track.
