Kenyan radio queens Adelle Onyango and Anita Nderu are among BBCs 100 women this year. The two are among sixty women that were named today who will team up with others from the rest of the world to tackle some of the biggest problems facing women around the world. The four teams include the glass ceiling (Teamlead), female illiteracy (Teamread), street harassment (Teamgo) and sexism in sport (Teamplay).
