What happens when conversations about women’s rights get complicated?
In this episode, I sit down with Yasmine Mohammed — author of Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims — to talk about her lived experience growing up in a fundamentalist Islamic household in Canada.
She shares what it was like being forced into hijab as a child, navigating abuse, being taken to Egypt against her will, and eventually entering a forced marriage at 19.
But this episode goes beyond one story.
We talk about:
• indoctrination and identity
• why “just leave” isn’t always simple
• honor violence and forced marriage
• freedom of belief
• the difference between criticizing people and questioning ideas
• why women’s autonomy should not depend on geography
This conversation is thoughtful and nuanced.
