Growing up, journalist Shahed Ezaydi was often asked how she could call herself a feminist and still practise her faith. It’s a question that reveals a deeper issue that Muslim women often face: being ignored in feminist spaces entirely, or cast as passive victims in need of being saved.

Shahed joins us on the show for a conversation about her new book 'The Othered Woman: How White Feminism Harms Muslim Women'.

We discuss the white saviourism and white supremacy that are at the core of white feminism, and how feminist arguments have been deployed to justify Western colonialism and military intervention.

We discuss the politics of the veil, and the ways in Muslim women’s oppression, wherever in the world, is usually deemed to be as a result of their religion, and the unique misogyny of Muslim men.
