BBC World Service Radio Presenter”Faranak Amidi” in London

There’s been a few times where I’ve had to deal with media all day, for three days. I’m telling my family’s stories over and over again. It affects my body. … I know that I get emotionally drained when I speak to media about this. I know that I need to take the time to do self-care. It’s emotionally draining, but those times I’ve wanted to quit, I say, ‘This is nothing compared to the violence that our women are going through. I have a daughter to fight for as well.’”
