In this episode we invited the wonderful Dr Nighat Arif to join us in conversation about minority communities, listen to understand why a more apt description is marginalised communities. This was a fascinating insight into the challenges and barriers that many women within these communities face.
So much to chat about…how to build up trust…how to avoid culturally inappropriate conversations…what role do men play within these communities and showing respect for the differences within cultures.
Keep listening to the end to hear Nighat’s three key messages. An interesting start to a conversation which needs to be continued on a larger scale.
