    Description

    In Waziristan, girls don’t play sports. They’re not allowed. But hostility and discrimination didn’t stop Maria Toorpakai from becoming one of the world’s top-ranked squash players. She joins our podcast to discuss how sports offer a platform for advancing gender equality and promoting social change. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
