Deeba Syed, Rights of Women lawyer interviewed by Victoria Parrett

Victoria Parrett, chair of the Arts and Culture Network at the
Young Fabians and Gender Studies graduate from LSE, interviews
lawyer and activist Deeba Syed. Deeba, who is herself an ex-Young
Fabians executive committee member, and a lawyer specialising in
sexual harassment, comes on the Pod to talk about what made her
want to dedicate her life to women’s rights at work, how she
became a lawyer, and her groundbreaking work with Rights of
Women. After the #metoo movement, the Harvey Weinstein trial and
the Alex Salmond trial, this conversation couldn’t me more
prescient, even during the lockdown.

This episode was recorded in early March, so the guests were
wonderfully oblivious to the effects of the pandemic on them and
women everywhere. 


Enjoy!
