DOADG - S1 Ep7: Divorcees single mums' reality of remarrying

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Nafisa AKA The Deen Qween (@thedeenqween on Insta)

I'm discussing the stigma of being a divorcee, and the hardships you must overcome when you decide to get married again, especially when you have a child. 

Why does the South Asian community look at women who are divorced as second-hand goods? 

Instead of supporting the woman who is going through tough times mentally and emotionally, they like to put her down and treat her like a second class citizen. We need to make a change, this could be your sister or daughter someday.
