The Global Wire Conversation - Unveiled by Yasemine Mohammed

In today's conversation we talk to Canadian human rights activist
Yasmine Mohammed, who advocates for the rights of women living
within Islamic majority countries, as well as those who struggle
under religious fundamentalism. She is also the founder of
Free Hearts Free Minds, an
organization that provides psychological support for freethinkers
living within Muslim majority countries- where the state
sanctioned punishment for leaving Islam is death.


Her book, Unveiled, is a memoir/polemic that
recalls her experiences growing up in a fundamentalist Islamic
household and her arranged marriage to a member of Al-Qaeda. In
it, she sheds light on the religious trauma that so many
women still today are unable to discuss.
