Women, life, freedom. The fight of Iran - Uncut with Nina Hajian

Hi Lifers,

Oh boy, today we have a big one for you.... but first we are talking radio awards, search histories and funeral etiquette.

Then we are unpacking the story of Mahsa Amini and what is happening in Iran.

Joining us is radio presenter Nina Hajian.

Nina is Persian and has family in Iran. She speaks of her experiences in Iran and explains what the cultural practices of Iran are currently like and how the men in power created these issues for women's rights.

Interestingly, it hasn't always been this way in Iran. Things dramatically changed in 1979. Nina speaks on the current protests happening in Iran and how people across the world are calling for change.

Here are two links to petitions that you can sign:
