- Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was trapped in Iran for six years before she was finally freed and reunited with her daughter and husband back in the UK. Almost exactly a year after her release, Nazanin joins WOW to be in conversation with Tulip Siddiq MP, her local MP who fought tirelessly for her release, about freedom, family, fighting for change, and her support for women and girls in Iran today.
- WOW Founder Jude Kelly and special guests broadcaster Sandi Toksvig and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner June Oscar open Saturday at WOW. They reflect on the year in activism with optimism and hope. Amidst the rolling back of rights for women, they celebrate those who have made change and continue to strive for a gender-equal world.
- Author Liv Little talks about her new book Rosewater, queer love and creativity with her longtime friend and actress Lucy Boynton.
- Actor and musician Jordan Stephens and social changemaker Elliott Rae join Beyond Equality to explore how we get more men to support women and girls. They look at how men can battle everything from the rise of misogyny, influencers to the pervasiveness of “benevolent sexism”. Led by Dr Dan Guinness, Founder of Beyond Equality.
