Join Zafar Ahmad & Usman Ali Anjum for Thursday’s show where we will be discussing : 'Pay Inequality' and 'Honour Crimes'. Pay Inequality In this episode, we explore the pressing issue of pay inequality and how it disproportionately impacts women, undermining both individual dignity and societal progress. We’ll delve into why forcing women out of work—especially for raising families—is not only unjust but detrimental to society’s well-being. Join us as we examine this chalter lenge through the lens of Islamic teachings, highlighting the faith’s recognition of women’s rights and value. Honour Crimes This program uncovers the harsh reality behind so-called "honour crimes"—acts of violence committed against women and girls in the name of preserving family dignity. Despite being framed as cultural or traditional practices, these crimes are rooted in deep-seated patriarchy and gender inequality. Through expert insights, we will reveal how honour is used as a mask to justify abuse, control, and even murder. Guests: Heather Joshi - Retired professor of economic demography Afrah Qassim - Founder & CEO of Savera UK, a leading national charity working to end 'honour'-based abuse. Nasima Abukar - Campaigns and Communications Manager for IKWRO - Women's Rights Organisation Producers : Mahira Ramzeen, Raaziya Sheron and Sabiha Tariq
