Welcome to Woman’s Hour: The TERF Report.
In today’s episode, I’m pleased to welcome Yal, with Women’s Declaration International Afghanistan. Yal works hard to raise awareness about what is happening to women and girls in Afghanistan.
It is common to think that the tyranny of “gender identity” is limited to the Western world, but it’s not; it’s global. I recently came across a story in the Washington Blade about how a court in India has decided that some men are women. This isn’t new. A few years ago, I posted a Substack piece titled, “The Tyranny of Identity is Global.” The original post was available to paid subscribers only, but I have unlocked it so that anyone can read it now.
However, in Afghanistan, where Yal is from, no one has any trouble figuring out who the women and girls are. They’re the ones being imprisoned in their homes, shut out of society, and deprived of schooling. In this episode, Yal tells us all about it. Please listen and share, if you can.
Weekly episodes of Woman’s Hour are available to paid subscribers only. Once per month, I publish a free and shareable episode of Woman’s Hour, featuring an interview with a woman who is active in the fight.
A paid subscription gets you regular access to much more content and the ability to comment and engage in conversation with other thoughtful people.
Have a great weekend!
