Nasirat Talks Episode 14: Eid Special

Iffat Mirza Rashid and Nooresahar Ahmad talk about how when discourse around Muslim women begins, everyone seems to have an opinion that deserves to get heard, everyone that is, except Muslim women. They explore how strange it is that critics isolate one group of women and point to any struggles they experience as stemming from their faith when we know that misogyny, unfortunately, transcends borders and cultures, and impacts women across the world and across history.

Episode 23 - Who Will Save Muslim Women?

Ayesha Naseem Mirza and Saira Bhatti talk about how biased and indifferent Western feminism is, especially considering its current silence on the suffering of Palestinian women. They discuss how feminists in the West position themselves as champions against patriarchy and misogyny but are part of a system that perpetuates those very things. Their brand of feminism amplifies certain voices based on a political agenda and its selective solidarity severely limits progress in conversations about women’s rights and makes it harder to address the real struggles of women in conflict zones, beyond the Western gaze.

Episode 24 - The Double Standards Of Western Feminism

Fatiha Nadeem and Saba Anwar talk about how the New Year is often seen as a time for new beginnings and fresh starts but while it's a wonderful opportunity to set new goals, it's essential to remember that self-improvement is not a one-time event. They discuss that personal growth and self-improvement are lifelong endeavours, and this perspective can greatly enrich our approach to New Year’s resolutions.

Episode 25 - Empowered Reflections and Lasting Changes

On International Day of Education, Iffat Mirza Rashid and Ayesha Sabahat talk about getting back to basics and ensuring education is available to everyone. They point out that Islam has always placed a great importance on women’s education, and show how it has a positive impact on everyone.
