Awtan TV, a religious channel, has come up with a show that discusses issues concerning teenage girls and women students, with its presenters dressed in black. The show — Asrar Al-Banat — has 26-year-old media graduate Sawsan Salah Al-Deen, her sister, Sarah, a specialist in blood diseases, and psychologist Nawal Dawood as its presenters, Arab News said.
