E51 - The Murder of Banaz Mahmod


Listen Later

Banaz Mahmod, was a young woman, living in the United Kingdom, whilst being simultaneously imprisoned by the strict beliefs of her culture. After a childhood spent in a war-torn country, her family escaped for a safer life in the UK. But, western culture clashed deeply with her community, and she was torn between honouring her family, and honouring herself.Ultimately, choosing herself, meant choosing to go against her family. For them, there was no greater shame, and only one adequate punishment. Death.
