In this episode of the Re:frame podcast, we’re challenging the commonly held belief that Afghan women need saving—a narrative often perpetuated in the West.

Joining the episode is Dr Hind Elhinnawy, a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at NTU, whose research explores the interplay between Islamic values and perceptions of young women. With over a decade of experience in gender activism and significant contributions to law and policy reform, Dr Elhinnawy will help us explore why it’s vital to recognise Afghan women’s autonomy and amplify their voices.
