Description

TW: this episode mentions children marriage and police brutality.

This episode is a bit different from the other ones.

As Iranian women are fighting hard for their rights and facing authorities brutality and repressions, Maryam asked me to use this podcast to raise awareness.

In this episode, we don’t focus on Maryam’s actions, but on what it’s like to be a woman in Iran, the murder of Mahsa Amini of the current political situation.

At the end of the podcast, Maryam invites us to take action - please do write to your representatives
