Muslim women deserve equal rights

Interview with Sedigheh Vasmaghi

In a conversation with Maryam Fumani, a leading Islamic scholar in Iran, Sedigheh Vasmaghi says her book Why I Rebelled Against the Hijab, published by aasoo, was written to challenge religious justifications for inequality. After years of speaking out, and her eventual arrest, she turned her research into a book that documents both her arguments and the lived suffering of women under compulsory hijab.
