By spending time in societies where female roles are very different, they hope to find answers that could change their lives. Kuna/Panama.

A monogamous tribe with tight-knit families, they are a deeply spiritual people who believe that their homes and families are protected by ever-present spirits. Waorani/Ecuador. 46-year-old Karen Morris-Lanz stays with the Waorani, one of the world's most isolated tribes, deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon jungle.

Himba/Namibia. The Himba are a semi-nomadic tribe of pastoralists who live on the harsh sun-baked plains of northern Namibia. The women are striking, covering their hair and bodies in red ochre.

The Mentawai live deep in the jungle on a remote island off the coast of Indonesia -- a monogamous tribe where women are tattooed and sharpen their teeth.

Twenty-three-year-old Charlie Brades from Hampshire joins the Yoruk, a tribe of nomads who live in the remote mountains of southern Turkey.

Jackie is divorced, with two young children, and grappling with life as a single parent. Hamar/Ethiopia. Anna De Vere from London is going to stay with the Hamar in southern Ethiopia.
