Abused And Hounded: Labour MP Apsana Begum Speaks Out
Published 3 years ago
Description
This is a truly disturbing episode: Labour MP Apsana Begum was elected in 2019, the first hijab-wearing MP. But she has spoken out about her experience of domestic abuse, and has said that this abuse has been weaponised against her in an attempt to remove her as an MP. Labour stands accused of a terrible failure in their duty of care - while Begum is being hounded.
On International Women's Day, we speak to Begum about the horrendous ordeal she is continuing to suffer.
