the sounds in the audio are very common sounds people hear throughout the day. some of these sounds are distracting and annoying and can distract a students from, for example, focusing on studying at home.

I used voice memos, recording app on apple iphones.

The Rundown episode 3

Topic: Women, the initiators for divorce in Egypt

Length: 6 minutes

Script link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A0TfB406TOUSOyraa8CbeQKaW-iCyhLXQ-FeEDwk3gs/edit?usp=sharing

Summary: this audio feature is discussing the challenges women face as the initiators for divorce in Egypt. If a woman wants to divorce her partner she has to file for “khola” meaning she is giving up all her rights financially in order to divorce her husband. In some cases childrens custodies are at risk if the woman will not be able to provide for her children after losing access to her husband's money. Women also face problematic social and cultural issues in Egypt as divorcees. The society does not accept divorced women and for that, they treat her as an outsider. A woman also faces bureaucratic challenges and drastic delays in paperwork and it can take many years to get the paperwork ready to submit in court. These issues have been going on since khola was invented. Yes, it might be getting better but at a very slow pace.
