My colleague Councillor Rania Khan, cabinet member for Culture and longstanding feminist activist, had a brief slot on BBC London radio last night.
She’d been invited onto the show to debate the prosecution of two French women who’d broken the new law there which forbids women from wearing the full-face Islamic veil.
Rania, always a passionate advocate of a woman’s right to make her own choices, makes some salient points and the interview’s worth listening to – see below.
