44: Maryam Namazie - Humans rights activist

Maryam's work has focused on human rights violations against refugees, and has actively campaigned against sharia law. Maryam became well known for her critique of the treatment of women under Islamic regimes. We talk about her family history and her views on the right to speak up and appreciating the freedom we have in the west to voice our opinion. This episode is much more than Maryam the activist, she tells me about her childhood, and the future she wants to create for all the young girls who will follow in her footsteps. www.maryamnamazie.com Twitter: @maryamnamazie

Thank you for joining me on this podcast! My name is Dr Meenal Viz and I'm an NHS doctor and activist. My love for sharing stories and using that as a medium to help people is one that brings me a lot of joy and it all ties in with the one dream I had as a child - to serve the global community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I campaigned for the protection of healthcare workers and was recognized internationally for my activism and campaigning. Through this podcast, I speak to the greatest thinkers of our generation. Each and every one of us has the potential to create change - I hope this podcast brings you the ray of hope you've been looking for.
