your loving host and best selling author, doctor Rafshan Hashmi

14
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.319
live from a studio. And today I have a lot

15
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.959
of pain in the in my ribs, you know. So

16
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.359
and see this, Uh, this is you know. I'm promoting

17
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.599
I'm a Muslim woman and I am direct descendant of

18
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:22.480
Prophet Alana and through that I am related to Prophet Muhammad,

19
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.719
Peace be upon him, and I'm promoting peace in between

20
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.879
Israel and Palestine, and I say that I love Israel,

21
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.760
but they should not bomb, you know, Palestine and kill

22
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.439
innocent people. So this is what I am saying here.

23
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.719
And of course you know today the paper is of

24
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.400
women empowerment in Iran and there is a war going

25
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.680
on in Iran. And I like peace through strength, the

26
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.079
formula of President Trump, peace through strength. I like that,

27
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.680
peace through strength. And here you know, these are my

28
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.400
two books. So these are my two books. The first

29
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.599
one is the Modern Mogle Mentality, New Strategies to succeed

30
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.759
in India and the global marketplace, and the second one

31
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.280
is The Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection. So when these

32
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.639
two books you know, came in the market, both were

33
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.800
Amazon bestsellers, and I want you know, I'm a widow

34
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.960
and these books bring food to the table, so I

35
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.120
want you know this, uh uh, these two books. You know,

36
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.960
a documentary to be made of this book and this

37
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.879
was my tribute to India and I have worked on

38
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:38.240
Jugar and this one, you know, is also the Modern

39
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.759
This one was also Amazon bestseller, The Outbreak of a

40
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.800
Monstrous Infection. And I want a movie or a web

41
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.680
series to be made, and I want you know this,

42
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.319
uh this book, you know, uh, Outbreak of a Monstrous Infection.

43
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.240
You know, tail Flix gave me a very good evaluation,

44
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:02.599
and this one, you know, a very good evaluation was

45
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.639
given by people on both the books, you know, So please,

46
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.240
I mean comments and all, So please go and buy

47
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.120
these two books and give me an honest review because

48
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.800
these two books and this show brings, you know, please

49
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.039
give me sponsorship, because this show is syndicated worldwide, two

50
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.439
three hundred million listeners. So if you want to give

51
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.639
me a sponsorship, you know, then you know this show

52
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.840
can continue because it is very very expensive, you know,

53
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.680
to sustain these kind of shows. Having said that, folks,

54
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.599
you know, please go and buy these two books and

55
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.000
give me an honest review. And as everyone knows that

56
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:45.400
the Iran War war between US and Iran is going on.

57
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.199
And what I feel like, I will tell you about that.

58
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.800
I like peace through strength and no one likes war.

59
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.639
But I will say that I loved Shah of Iran

60
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.439
and I want, you know, Raza Pehelvi, you know, his son,

61
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.639
to take over as the head of Iran. And I

62
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.080
am not Irani or anything. I'm originally from India. And

63
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.759
now because my name is Harshmi. So many people ask me,

64
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.959
are you from Iran. I'm not from Iran. My husband's name,

65
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.920
my late husband's name is Hashmi and he is also

66
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.600
from Saudi Arabia and then they went to India and

67
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.319
they settled there. So he has nothing to do with Iran.

68
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.079
So now, Mohammad Raza Pehlvi was the first show of

69
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.879
Iran from nineteen forty one to nineteen seventy nine, and

70
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.879
there was so much of progress during his time, you know.

71
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.120
And now I want his son to take the rail.

72
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.240
Let's see if you know he's successful in that. And

73
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.560
have you seen the documentary or Netflix about this one?

74
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:59.800
So there there is a Netflix documentary The Unseen Prince

75
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.519
Raza Pehlvi and also Raza Pehlvi Shah documentary. Go and

76
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.439
see that and it is very very very good. And

77
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.079
the other thing is so you. The other thing is

78
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.920
this that I wish you know that the state of

79
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.839
Hermos is open. And I don't want to get into

80
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.519
the political landscape. I got this paper. I am a

81
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:28.600
scientific entrepreneur and I did my search and I got

82
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.199
this paper Women Empowerment in Iran. And I will tell

83
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.519
you a very very interesting thing. And that is when

84
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.000
I visit I did Omrah when I was in my school,

85
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.519
and when I went there to profit Muhammad Peace be

86
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.959
upon Him storm, you know, there were some people, you know,

87
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.480
they came there and they started crying and they were

88
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.480
cursing the Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him and his

89
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.439
two besties Prophet Uma Raziana and Prophet and they were

90
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:05.240
saying that they have he has kept Fatma in uh

91
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.199
other place and he has put in uh Fatma. He

92
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.120
has he has put in Janatobaki and here they have

93
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.120
put his two his two best friends. So so and

94
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.120
they were crying so much, and they were smelling so bad.

95
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.240
And you know, I I have smelled those kind of

96
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.600
bad smell you know from people. You know what I

97
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.920
what I think is that these people you know who

98
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.279
are smelling so bad and saying bad things about Prophet

99
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.399
Muhammad Peace be upon him or Prophet Peace be upon

100
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:46.040
him and Prophet Peace be upon him is smell like that,

101
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.959
you know. And I have smelled many people in this county.

102
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.560
You know, once I went to Panera, some women came

103
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.000
and they were smelling like that. So that means that

104
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.360
they are against against Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him,

105
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:08.120
and profit and also prophet and I believe in them

106
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.480
because of my of my lineage, and they are my darlings.

107
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.120
You know, they are my best friend. They have always

108
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.759
supported me. And today I want to say rasula that

109
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.480
is Prophet Muhammad, please be upon him, if you are

110
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.759
listening in heaven, and all the besties who are listening

111
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.000
in heaven, all the prophets, please give peace in this world.

112
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:38.959
And I will say the Mohammed Mahmad Kamasala and that

113
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:44.920
kind of that, that kind of uh thing which now

114
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.279
I will start that and it says and it says

115
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:52.319
I did a Google search and it says about the smell,

116
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.240
and here it is, and but I am telling my

117
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.879
true story and it says the instant dislike or hate

118
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.120
it the some Shia individual express towards Umar bin kat

119
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.319
Brazilana is rooted in historical event following the death of

120
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.079
Prophet Mohammad Sala. The primary reason for this animosity, which

121
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.839
is a key difference between Sunni and Shia views on

122
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.000
the companies include and there is a Wikipedia page Shia

123
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.319
view of Umar here. But I am telling my think.

124
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.600
They were cursing, all three of them you know. So,

125
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.279
so these people you know who curse Prophet Muhammad, peace

126
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.360
be upon him and his two best ties. I have

127
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.480
nothing to do with them, and I wish you know,

128
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.279
peace comes to Iran and Iran gets some sense to

129
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:46.799
open that hermus because they cannot fight with America. Being

130
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:51.039
an American citizen and and a woman of Muslim faith,

131
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:55.759
I am telling them that and this paper. So now, folks,

00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.200

And now doctor Afshan Hashmi's radio show.

174
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:32.360
Okay, So it is Rocksana Young horn Alita and at

175
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.200
all this paper here and it says women and it

176
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:41.840
is received Ganuary thirteen, twenty fourteen, and February and accepted

177
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.960
February seventeen, twenty fourteen, and online published. And it is

178
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.000
from Global Journal of Health Science, published by Canadian Center

179
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.559
for Science and Education. And I got it from medline.

180
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:58.919
You know, this paper, and I believe in women empower

181
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:05.080
empowerment and why women empowerment, you know, was uh why

182
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.879
women empowerment you know, is hindered in in Iran because

183
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.240
you know, it was a very progressive country when Iran

184
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.720
was there, and then they took political asylum here in

185
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.960
America and then you know when I went for Umah

186
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.159
for many you know, just appeared from Iraq to uh Iran.

187
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.519
And you know, when I was a kid and all

188
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:34.399
all this thing appeared. You know, in Islam, women have

189
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.720
a very wide, very high status. They are not doormats.

190
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:43.159
When you get Nika, first women is asked, then man

191
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.519
is asked. So Rasula Love was very liberal and he

192
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.000
loved women, you know, he loved girls, you know, and

193
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.159
and and so and he he he wanted you know

194
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.559
that the women and should have a very high statue

195
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.840
in Islam. And the Holy Quran also says, says that

196
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.080
whatever his teachings, Islamic teachings were, but according to the

197
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.440
Holy Quran. So so Islam is the religion of peace,

198
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.759
although many people will not believe that. But go and

199
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.320
read the Holy Quran, the right one, because people are

200
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.639
changing the Holy Quran with their own whims and fantasies,

201
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:27.200
and that is not right. Go and read the Holy Koran.

202
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.840
And you know, I would suggest you this one, but

203
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.279
this also has some Shia views in it. And I

204
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.399
have I have I have read this and it has

205
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.120
some Shia views in it. So just go and read

206
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.759
the Holy Quran and just see which Surah opens Surah

207
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.559
uh haf it opens and it says in the name

208
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:55.000
of God the Compassionate, the merciful, the revelation of the

209
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.399
book from God the Mighty, the lower, forgiver of since,

210
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.840
affecter of rep in severe in retribution. Gafe is the

211
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.200
first in a series of seven sudas that open with

212
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:10.159
the Arabic letters Haw and meme and are referred to

213
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.399
collectively as the Hawa Men. The Arabic letters Ha and

214
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:18.080
men are among the separated letters. So this is the thing,

215
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.960
and this is the suda I was reading, And yes,

216
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:27.600
now let's go and do about this about women empowerment,

217
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.759
it say is empowerment is an active and multi dimensional

218
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.919
process which enables women to realize their full identity and

219
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.879
powers in all phares of life. There are five issues

220
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:44.320
relating to women empowerment. A woman's sense of self value

221
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:50.000
and respect, the right to have choices and decision making power,

222
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:56.120
access to various various opportunities, prospects and means, the right

223
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:59.320
to have the power to control their own lives, and

224
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.720
the ability to influence trends in social change to create

225
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:09.000
more social and economic orders both nationally and internationally. The

226
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:14.919
program of Action International Conference on Population and Development stresses

227
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:20.279
the empowerment of women and the expansion of their political, social, economic,

228
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:25.480
and health status are not only significantly important issues for themselves,

229
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.639
but are vital for the achievement of sustainable human development.

230
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:35.399
United Nations Population Information Network, nineteen ninety four. So now

231
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.720
I will go on a break and will be back

232
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.000

245

four to twenty eighteen, and this is the sample track

254
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:43.000
and it is read by doctor Arafshan Nahid Hashmi in

255
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:48.359
a sprawling banglaw In Potomac, Maryland, USA, live doctor Honey Singh,

256
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.519
a both certified internal medicine and family practice physician, along

257
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.000
with his beautiful wife, Baby Singh. Baby Singh was.

258
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.880
A fashionista and was funding women's posies through her Honey

259
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.599
Bay Foundation. She had a lady's book club by the

260
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.319
name of Baby's Glam and Glitzy Club, which had many

261
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.440
glam and glitzy ladies who were professionals living in Washington,

262
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:17.839
d C. Potomac, Maryland, Virginia, and even Beverly Hills, California,

263
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.839
as well as elide from all of America, meeting at

264
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.880
her place on the last Wednesday of every month discussing

265
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.640
various aspects of charities they wanted her and doctor Honey

266
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.839
to fund. In this club, there was a wide spectrum

267
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.839
of career women. There were doctors, lawyers, actresses, business owners,

268
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.640
and models to name a few. In these book club meetings,

269
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:46.000
members would come prepared after reading a book of a

270
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:50.440
famous woman author and that author was even invited from

271
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:54.440
any part of the world to give her presentation, followed

272
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:59.079
by a q anda in this prestigious and elite gathering.

273
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.200
And now thanks to doctor Ashan Hashmi's radio shows.

274
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:13.200
In the Iranian Constitution, like many other countries, the principles

275
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:18.480
of women's empowerment and gender equality have been preserved. The

276
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.480
Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Rights of

277
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:27.519
the People Article twenty states that under Iranian law, all

278
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.880
citizens of the country, both men and women, are equally

279
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.880
protected against the law, and have all the political, economic,

280
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:39.279
social and cultural rights in accordance with Islamic rules Article

281
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.920
twenty nineteen twenty eight. It is notable that, apart from

282
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:47.319
the fundamental rights guaranteed in the Constitution of the Islamic

283
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:51.000
Republic of Iran for all citizens in nineteen twenty eight,

284
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:56.640
women rights have clearly been spelled out in the nation's constitution.

285
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.680
In the Preamble of the Iranian Constitution, in the section

286
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.279
of Women in the Constitution, it has been indicated that

287
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:09.319
through the creation of Islamic social infrastructures, all the elements

288
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:14.519
of humanity that serve the multifacetate foreign exploitation shall regain

289
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.759
their true identity and human rights as part of this process.

290
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.039
It is only natural that women should benefit from a

291
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:27.119
particularly large augumentation of their rights because of the greater

292
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:31.119
operation from which they suffered and the old regime women.

293
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:36.599
In the Constitution nineteen seventy nine, the Constitution Article twenty

294
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:41.440
one clearly states that the government must show the rights

295
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.680
of women in all spheres and responsible for creating favorable

296
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:51.920
contests for the growth of women's personalities and the real vitalization,

297
00:21:54.680 --> 00:22:00.359
revitalization of their maternal and moral rights. You know, say

298
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.200
that you know they have rights, but what rights do

299
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:06.400
women have? You know, like even if little bit of

300
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:09.599
their face is shown during so many time that they

301
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:13.000
would get beatings, they would get flogged, you know. So

302
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:16.880
so I cannot go like this in Iran, I guess,

303
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.160
you know, so it should be very progressive Iran because

304
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.839
Iran had a lot of you know, you can say that,

305
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.759
you know, as far as I know about Iran, Iran

306
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.400
has a lot of cultural diversity also, and it was

307
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:36.720
very good. Tehran University was very good in academics because

308
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:40.799
my uncle had visited there on an exchange program in

309
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.559
Tehran from from my hometown Aliga, and that was. It

310
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.480
was iran Stein, you know, and I want that progress

311
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.319
to come here, although it cannot happen overnight, but it

312
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.400
will happen in shah Lah soon, that's what. And I'm

313
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.559
not an Iranian, please you not. Don't think that I'm

314
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.359
in Iran. And I just have a harsh me name.

315
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:05.319
And my husband was from Saudi Arabia and even to

316
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.400
to India, so that is what it is. And he

317
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:11.400
belonged to the harsh harsh we might tribe, you know.

318
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:17.559
Educational empowerment education which means having the minimum ability to

319
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.119
read and write, provide skills which enable people to earn

320
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:24.480
a living, as well as the circumstances in which the

321
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.559
ability to think for one self, communicate, and experience life

322
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:34.480
more completely is valued. The United Nations Population Information Network

323
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:38.240
has emphasized education is one of the most important means

324
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.440
of empowering women with the knowledge, skills, and self confidence

325
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:47.039
necessary to participate fully in the development process. One of

326
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:51.240
the two thousand United Nations Millennium Development Goals. You know,

327
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:54.759
they may call these goals. United Nations does this, This

328
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:58.759
organization does this, but at the end of the day,

329
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:02.279
nothing happens. You know, you see so much of poverty

330
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.880
there and women are mutilated. So what is all this?

331
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:09.920
Just see my thing? My parents were killed by illegal

00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.759
what I will say that my younger artistic brother was

334

killed by illegal droning and illegal espionage, you know, and

335
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:28.000
my husband was killed, My experiance was killed. So so

336
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:30.680
you know, I have gone through a lot and just

337
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.359
see I have, you know, in my back reaves bullet

338
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.680

339
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.319
that there is a bullet, you know, in that and

340
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.759

344
00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.920
So what is all this? And I was made into

345
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.079
a robot? So this is what it is until now

346
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:06.359
my case is not settled, you know, and I have

347
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.839
not been assigned an attorney. So this is what happens.

348
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.160
You know, there are so many, so many stories you

349
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.480
know about me, about I did this, I did this,

350
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.240
and I am a vulgar woman and blah blah blah,

351
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.799
and I am such a pie woman. You know that

352
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.000
I hate You know, they wanted me to accept that

353
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:32.480
I am running a sex trading ring, but I put

354
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:37.079
my foot down over my dead body and for that,

355
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.960
you know, I want to support every young girl to

356
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:44.640
come here on this show and talk about women empowerment.

357
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.400
I don't know till when I am alive, you know,

358
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.519
and what will happen to me next? But I don't know,

359
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.200
but this is what it is. And then see this

360
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.799
political and a empowerment. We will talk about it when

361
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:09.039
we come later. So now, folks, let's see. I don't

362
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:11.480
know what happened to rebel. You know where Achie went.

363
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:17.079
Political empowerment, according to units for political environment, would in

364
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:22.359
a cumpass the ability to organize and mobilize for a tin. Consequently,

365
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:28.240
an empowerment process must involve not only individual awareness, but

366
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:32.920
collective awareness and collective action. The notion of collective action

367
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.119
is fundamental to the aim of attaining social transformation. Women's

368
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:44.720
political participation is an important issue in the context of transformation.

369
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:50.400
Decion Tucker two thousand and one have discussed women's political participation,

370
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:55.880
legal rights, and education as mechanisms for their empowerment. Based

371
00:26:55.960 --> 00:27:02.279
on controversial analysis, Women's political participation means activities related to

372
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:08.680
elect politics, like voting, campaigning, holding party office, and competing

373
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.880
in an election. But in a broader sense, it encompasses

374
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:18.480
all voluntary actions intended to influence the making of public policies,

375
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.480
the administration of public affairs, and the choice of political

376
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:27.319
leaders at all levels of government. Nayak and Mahanta legislation

377
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:33.519
has created a new political atmosphere in which women's voices

378
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.759
can be heard and a consensus can be forced. It

379
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:40.960
has also endeavored to empower women by training them to

380
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.359
negotiate on a global basis, particularly since the end of

381
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.400
the Iraq War, which shaped a resurgence in women's activity.

382
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:54.240
Well if it served as a resurgence of women's activity,

383
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:57.920
you know in Iraq, I saw a documentary that how

384
00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:01.599
you know, mudda is Buddha is in Shia's you know,

385
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:04.920
like they do nikka and it is called mutta and

386
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.519
we call it sunnis, we call it nika. But mutta,

387
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:13.759
you know, has been you know, so misunderstood thing that

388
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.519
people do mutta for one hour and two hours. This

389
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.119
is what has happened in Iraq. And there was a

390
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:25.240
documentary on Netflix about it. So go and see what

391
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:30.160
that documentary is about. Having said that, folks, now I

392
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:35.920
will go on a break and will be back soon, agreement.
