Shocking laws that silence women

In this follow-up episode of Wine Chats, we trade in feelings for facts as we unpack the shocking laws and statistics that continue to silence women around the world.

From forced marriage and hijab laws in Iran, to education bans and public silence enforced by the Taliban in Afghanistan, this episode is a raw look at how institutional gender oppression still exists in 2024.

📌 What we cover:

• The legal requirement for Iranian women to wear the hijab
• How “improper” headscarf placement can result in violence, arrest or death
• Why Afghan women are banned from speaking, singing, or being heard in public
• Government-enforced forced and child marriage
• The tragic truth about maternal death rates and lack of medical access
• How female education, employment, and freedom have been stripped away
