  • International Sister Collective (Dr. Issabakhsh)
    Mar 10 2025

    This conversation was recorded on International Woman's Day with a hope of bringing awareness to the inequality or mistreatment of women around the world. However, it also posed an opportunity to speak about what could be done to advance the support of women and girls. This discussion was among two friends who are from two very different places, but with some of the same challenges. One from Iran and the other from the USA. This conversation is fun, but specific about things we have seen and how we can start coming together through accelerated action.

    Join the conversation...Join the movement...
