Activist Payzee Mahmod - Child marriage, honour killing and doing the things she couldn't as a child

Sofie talks to Payzee Mahmod (and her dog) about escaping her child marriage, her sister’s “honour killing” murder, gender inequality, activism, patriarchy, therapy, justice, working with IKWRO, and doing the things she wasn’t allowed to do as a child.
