Emilia, I was physically attacked by Muslim men when I protested by giving a speech concerning the girl who converted to Christianity, and she was beheaded by her father, in the UK.

I have challenged various women' harming customs and values throughout my career as a teacher/lecturer, whose students were affected and who turned to me for support.
