⚠️ Content Warning: This interview contains discussions of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and other sensitive topics that some viewers may find distressing. It's International Women's Day on Sunday 8 March, and our guest is the Labour Member of Parliament for Bradford West, Naz Shah. Naz tells Gyles her extraordinary story; about her father, who left the family when she was only six years old, leaving the children and their mother in poverty, insecurity and sometimes squalor. About her mother, who was abused by two men - first by her husband, and then by a neighbour who seemed to be offering help and support, but who actually wanted sex. Naz tells Gyles about being sent away to Pakistan as a 13 year-old, and forced into an arranged marriage with her first cousin. She talks about the concept of 'izzat', or honour, which runs so deeply through this traditional and conservative community. She talks about the dramatic events that happened when her mother finally snapped, and gave her abuser a fatal dinner which changed everything. This is a shocking story about the vulnerability, bravery and strength of women. Naz Shah's book, 'Honoured: Survival, Strength and My Path to Politics' is out now, and available here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/honoured/naz-shah/9781399628471 Links: Rosebud Archive - https://www.rosebudpodcast.co.uk/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/therosebudpodcast/?hl=en Rosebud Reflections - https://www.facebook.com/groups/782397874458836 #gylesbrandreth #rosebudpodcast #rosebud #nazshah #izzat #labour #bradford
