Giving a Voice to Victims of Abuse

8/11/2020

A new podcast has launched in Iran to encourage women to share their domestic abuse experiences and challenge societal taboos to make their voices heard. In each episode, a different woman joins the founder Maryam (whose name has been changed), to talk about their own experiences with abuse from men.

Maryam hopes that the podcast will allow survivors to speak freely and disrupt the culture of secrecy surrounding abuse. On top of sharing personal stories, guests on the podcast also discuss the prevalence of abuse in Iranian society and examine the lack of institutional protection for women.
