Selective Feminism

Feminism today focuses on advocating forgender equality, challenging the patriarchy,

and empowering women worldwide. However, women in some countries continue to face oppression due to cultural, political, or religious restrictions. This segment will dive into how women’s rights are evolving globally and the specific challenges faced by women in countries with strict patriarchal control, especially in regions where cultural or religious

traditions heavily influence gender roles.

How do media portrayals impact international relations and public understanding? Join us as we explore the influence of Western media and discuss the importance of responsible journalism in shaping a just and informed world.

Title: Alcohol: Why Are More Young People Going T-Total?

Synopsis:

In this episode we explore the shifting attitudes towards alcohol, particularly among younger generations. Across the world, more people are choosing to drink less or avoid alcohol altogether, driven by increasing awareness of its health risks, social consequences, and the pursuit of a more mindful lifestyle.

The presenters examine this growing trend, looking at cultural, medical, and social factors behind the decline in alcohol consumption. From the rise of the wellness movement to generational shifts in attitudes towards excess, we discuss why more young people are turning their backs on drinking.

The programme also delves into the Islamic perspective on alcohol, tracing the wisdom behind its gradual prohibition in the teachings of Islam. The Qur’an introduced a progressive approach, moving from cautionary guidance to outright prohibition, reinforcing the idea that true peace—both personal and societal—is found in self-discipline and responsibility.
