This episode is all about Shanah’s favourite issue in feminism… misogyny in the South-Asian community. Shanah unpacks her experience of the Muslim South-Asian community and brings to light patriarchal sexism, the institution of “aunties”, and finally how shame and guilt are used to police women.

Shanah quotes from the book ‘It’s Not About the Burqa’ edited by Mariam Khan in this episode.

At Maneuvering we discuss topics like feminism, anti-racism, mental health, friendships, identity and much more. We also feature our friends occasionally and exchange personal stories that fuels their politics.
