Ep 5: The Invisible Jury

Womena
About this episode

Alya talks to journalist Noor Tagouri about why do we and our communities care so much about 'what other people think'? The notion of a horizontal hostility and how we're more judgemental towards those who come from the same community/religion/beliefs as us because we expect them to live life in the exact same ways as we do. They also explore how gossip is used as a way of control in some communities. 

Talk of Shame is a Womena Production.
