Woman. Life. Freedom With Nazanin Boniadi

In this timely episode, we explore the horrific events that occurred on September 16th, 2022 when Mahsa Amini tragically died in police custody in Tehran . Reports indicate that she suffered severe brutality at the hands of the so-called morality police. She was arrested for not adhering to their strict compulsory hijab laws. She had no pre-existing health conditions according to her family. This incident served as a catalyst for a global movement aimed at eradicating gender apartheid and bringing about a secular democracy for the Iranian people: "Woman.Life.Freedom". 

Join Kevin as he hears the inspiring stories of courageous individuals speaking out. With guests Nazanin Boniadi, an Iranian Actress and Activist and a brave Advocate and Activist named Roya Piraei, both dedicated to bringing about justice and freedom for the people of their homeland. Together, they are passionately advocating for states to recognize gender apartheid as a crime under international law, as a first step for holding them to account.
