We highlight some of the latest stories, as well as two special interviews this week including with Mariam Veiszadeh and Senator Mehreen Faruqi. We start with some much-needed wins, noting that the news this week has been difficult. Mariam joins us to share more on the situation in Afghanistan, and what it means for women and girls -- and a passionate plea for Australia to increase its refugee intake (interview starts around 8 minutes). Mariam is a lawyer and community activist, and also the co chair of the Australian Muslim Women Centre for Human Rights.
