from Female Political Strategy · host Savannah

Team Female welcomes Shaghayegh Norouzi, Iranian actress, filmmaker, women's rights activist, and founder of Iran's #MeToo movement. She tells us about her experience as an actress in Iran, the double standards and sexual harassment she faced, and how Iranian women are fighting back. Team Female learns how compulsory hijab, the constant threat of sexual violence, and Iran's legal system all collude to control women.
