In the first episode, we heard that the Islamic Republic’s war against women has continued from the streets to digital tools.
In the second episode, Sahar Naseri, Nazila Golestan, and the program guest Mansoureh Hosseini-Yeganeh, a researcher and journalist specializing in women’s issues, explore another dimension of compulsory hijab: from government propaganda through television and social media, to the question of whether today’s Iranian society simply demands the removal of the headscarf, or if its demands run much deeper, encompassing civil, political, and economic freedoms.
The Hamāva podcast series aims to expand the national discourse around universal values, democracy, the separation of religion and state, human rights, and gender equality.
Within such a framework, through collective wisdom, we can work toward a free and proud Iran for all Iranians, regardless of their beliefs, ideas, gender, or ethnicity.
