Listen "Protests in Iran: What's behind the global call for change?"
Episode Synopsis
After years of systemic repression of women, the people of Iran are calling for change, a call their government can no longer ignore. So what’s sparked this movement now, after decades under this oppressive regime? Will it be enough to bring change? And could New Zealand be doing more to support the cause? Today, Damien is joined by Iranian-born Green MP Golriz Ghahraman and Dr Forough Amin, the founder of the Iranian Women in New Zealand charitable trust, for a discussion about why this is the moment that Iranian women are standing up for their rights.
