Episode description
Join me for the second interview in my 'life in Saudi Arabia' series. I chat with a Saudi feminist now based in the UK, about her life growing up, the first time she put an a'abaya (modesty cloak thing) on, the strange contradictions of living in a theocracy in the 21st century. We also discussed what Saudi feminism entails, and touched upon the subject of female migrant worker rights in Saudi. Moudhy expands her thoughts further in a blogpost: https://asaudiabroad.com/2017/02/05/toward-a-more-inclusive-feminism/The blogpost where Moudhy talks about her first time putting on an a'abaya: https://asaudiabroad.com/2017/01/06/my-first-time/#more-318Follow her on twitter @Moudhy
