44: Gender Apartheid in Iran with Shadi Sadr

Libya Matters

"It’s not about religion, it’s about freedom of choice…"

This week, human rights advocate Shadi Sadr joins hosts Elham and Marwa Ben Abderrezak to explore the current system of gender apartheid in Iran. Together, they examine the years, context and warning signs leading up to the current reality for women, and ask how accountability plays a major role in Iran's 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement. 

Shadi Sadr is an Iranian lawyer, journalist and human rights advocate and is the co-founder and executive director of Justice for Iran, a London-based human rights NGO.
