About this listen

In Iran, under the country’s “blood money” laws, even in death, women are valued less. And for those facing the death penalty, discrimination runs deep from child marriage to poverty and domestic violence.

Today’s guest is Leila, a British-Iranian human rights advocate with Iran Human Rights, an organization fighting to abolish the death penalty. Leila reveals how Iran’s justice system is used as a tool of repression against women and why international solidarity can literally save lives.
