Asian dating site Shaadi.com has removed a skin tone descriptor after growing online backlash. The option asks those who use the site to describe their skin tone colour, as well as asking users to input the preferred skin colour of their prospective partner.
As ongoing anti-racism protests spread worlwide, more and more South Asians are rejecting the colourism that exists within their own communities.
Sally is joined by Muriel Dsa, who helps her understand the depth of the issue and bitter reality and importance of skin color in the sub continent.

World Refugee Day with Alya Obaid Al Musaiebi (18.06.2020)
Every minute 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror. On top of that, the COVID-19 pandemic has put millions of refugees at even greater risk than ever before. Announcing the launch of the humanitarian COVID-19 response campaign, ‘Support Knows No Safe Distance’ in Ramadan, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of the Ruler of Sharjah, Chairperson of The Big Heart Foundation (TBHF) and UNHCR Eminent Advocate for Refugee Children, made a global call for concerted action to intensify efforts to protect vulnerable groups from the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. As we mark this year’s world refugee day, and theme of Every Action Counts, we find out what each and every single one of us can do to help. Sally is joined by Alya Obaid Al Musaiebi, Head of Media at the Big Heart Foundation to find out how easy it is for each of us to do our part.
