A British-Iranian multimedia journalist with extensive experience in long-form current affairs and documentaries. I have fronted a range of stories from across the world, for the BBC, Channel 4's Unreported World and a number of other international broadcasters.
A lot of my work has often been from within hostile environments, with a special focus on under-reported human-interest stories. I strive for high-impact storytelling, and have reported on a diverse range of topics from conflict and human rights abuses, to gender and mental health issues, and excel in exploring sensitive subjects with empathy, creativity and journalistic rigour.

Is UK now an Islamic country?? This is so unbelievable that such is allowed in UK of all places & it's allowed. 🙄
Islam never mentioned to that's this is coming from idiots peoples they made it I'm over 6o years I never heard this silly discasting history I'm Muslim myself neder my parents this is new to me bands bands and bands shame of those evil
Are Indians okay?
I’m American, and I’m so sick of the never ending race card, in my country too. They have nothing else. Our government/politicians don’t have a brain.
کیر تو کون محمد خارکصده دروغگو ک دین کثیف اسلام را درست کرد کص ننش
If it’s “so bad”… leave! Moving back & Airfare these days is really affordable… unlike back in the days. But they won’t! Bcus it’s not so bad… at least here they get to live in comfort & leech for $$$$!!! They’ll gladly trade off being hated and despised so long as they get their “benefits”. That’s what they don’t tell you!!
Goodness! It's very other than European tradition.
According to Muslims...Find a good life In Europe = free bee's
توهين به كسى نباشه اما ازكامنتها فهميدم كه اين شبكه چقدددد بيننده افغانى داره مسلما ايرانى ها درمورد اسلام اينجورى نظر نميدن اونم دينى كه ازنظر كامنت گزاران گرامى فقط آداب كفن ودفنش پسنديده است راستش خوشحالم كه ايران وافغانستان جداشدند
خیلی سنت خوبی هست ،دم این مردم. گرم ،،،کە حتی این جور بە مرده گان احترام میزارن بر عکس ما مسلمانان کە حتی بە زند ه ها. احترام نمیزارن
And people are called racist if they try to help from outside of this community. It would be wonderful to see Jess Philips speak up in parliament about this without fear that some in her constituency would threaten her. But the government are too scared right now. No British girls should be subjected to this, it has to be made illegal.
Feminists would prefer that young women have as many sexual partners as possible before marriage.
The fact that people here saying this is a “western country” and shit like this forgot the backlash/sarcasm princess Diana got when she married to Charles for the same exact reason. Virginity was important in western countries till very recently it is by no means a new concept or “foreign”. My only problem with this procedure is consent. That’s all I care about. If the girls are consenting then no problem. Also might I remind everyone that until a child is an adult most if not all his/her medical decisions are lift to the parents not just the “virginity tests” which includes Circumcision and so many more.
Why dont you leave everthing bkack alone ..Get all of your pple out of Africa .Dont help any country that has wars so pple are displaced...Only bring in white pple with high Neanderthal genes ..Then watch your population decline without black dna it goes sideways ,that why Neanderthals died out the first time
They don’t want to integrate. How about this? Move all Muslims into Wales or Northern Ireland. Pay their taxes to UK Government to fund services. All of them - Illegal or otherwise. And kept them there so that they can implement Shariah Law etc etc. and we might get peace.
تو دنیا بیش از پنج هزار دین وجود داره جالب همه اعتقاد دارن دینشون بهترین دین
This is a lovely documentary, but the audio (music and aound) is louder than the voice. I'm having a headache watching this.
Jealous man's job that's what it's I'm black muslim my country don't have that culture
I'm black muslim let people know on thing all muslims have different cultures even the culture against the holy kuran some of muslims carrying wrong culture against humanity and the religious both iran have disgusting culture their culture even against the islam religion anf they still respects but won't respect holy quran
If a Dr examines then he will burst the hymen or?I thought it was done on wedding night.😐..I don't understand it.Either way i get where they are coming from.Society has made it hard for women to be virgin's. Which is still an Honour and a lovely thing to be.As the more you sleep around,not only gather diseases + trauma + soul ties + at times Kids = A life full of confusion if you don't Pray it all out.
This ridiculous
Islam allows women to choose their spouses
Muslim men and Muslim women are not free to have sex whenever they want.
The whole message of Islam is victimhood, which justifies its violence. If you do not like it in Denmark GO BACK HOME or any of the 55 muslim countries.
❤
Poor children let them live
Islam is such a wonderful and peaceful religion...
How is this possible in UK? 😢 A womans worth is never in between her legs. Why is these sort of practices encouraged in the UK??!! Regressive
Annoying background music
FGM also still legal in many countries. More awareness, some made it illegal. This also connects with arranged and forced marriage. Abusive practices and violate womens rights and are honour based crimes
There’s something you guys have wrong usually, the goddesses have to keep it straight face when meeting people but as soon as everyone’s gone, they’re allowed to show their emotions. They’re allowed to play like a normal kid. They can even have a private teacher if they want to.
😖😖😖😖😖 Some cultures are absolutely terrible!!! Why does these nasty people move to the Western Cultures? Oh, they have destroyed their own Country (Financially, Environmentally & their Morality), so they move to a successful country.
Everyone prepare for judgment day and surrender to Jesus Christ as Lord, hooking up before marriage, and drunkards will not Inherit the Kingdom of God, it says we must not do these or repent of them and save ourselves, those who reject him will wake up and give an account of every word they have ever spoken before so now is the time to prepare and repent of evil and ask God for mercy change your ways for God do good deeds judgment day is real
Fact is Nepali culture do puja to women they think its godess and pray then other country
God created mankind probably millions of years ago. So the hymen would not have meant to be a proof of virginity. Women can lose their virginity but the hymen remains intact. So why a woman had a hymen.. there must be a function for every body part. The hymen function is to protect the womb and ovaries from infection by stopping germs and parasites or insects entering the vagina. If we immagin life thousands of years ago when people lived in jungles with nothing to wear how likely that harmful organisms can invade the genital system and potentially lead to sterility. This would lead to disappearance of mankind on earth. That would negate the purpose of creating mankind in the first place. So the conclusion is the hymen has nothing to do with virginity.
Other cultures don't belong here.
💩💩💩توسنتتون
Also, so much love and support to the incredible and brave young women in this film ❤❤❤ My heart breaks for their suffering ❤
This documentary is fantastic. How can we help young girls and women if we don't know what's going on - and Sahar approaches this topic with compassion and wisdom. Sahar, you are an excellent journalist/film-maker - I look forward to your next film! This deserves an award ❤❤ Thank you so much for shedding light on this ❤❤❤
Revolting beyond words to do this to women. These cultures do NOT mesh with the West. They are barbaric & repulsive. Send them back, except for the women who want to escape this monstrosity.
if you can't tolerate your daughter not being virgin for her marriage that you have to resort to Violent then you failed as a father you see it's about installing your belief in your children wellingly but even if you fail to give ur belife to kids and they hooked up with someone without marrying you still can be a good parent without them inherting ur belife but violence make you failuer as a parent disgusting people both of these surgeries should be illegal
This is why the British are angry, this is not British culture but it has become invasive. If people migrate to Britain & bring these practices with them.. what was the point. These girls & women end up just as oppressed as they were in Islamic countries. And now it is being pushed on all of society.

This is bs! My hymen never broke until my baby was born
Los judios y cristianos mesianicos tambien exigen virginidad,machismo puro en todo el mundo,sin olvidar la excision que se practica hoy en dia
Every girl her savtey to respect and kept peacefuly.what ever colour or relegion.man. must tink his daughter,wife mother all are his relative aroud you should respect and treat wel those peopel kind around you every where..Asha Bukar.parent alweys right to help their childeren
My heart hurts for these women and girls 😢 why is this allowed to happen?!?! I understand that this is their culture, but this is truly disgusting and unacceptable!!!
One of the reasons why there's increasing dissatisfaction over influx of immigration from certain group
If I am required to be a man coming with money to take care of all your needs, buy a house, protect you, vacations; I also require something. If I have a lot of money so that a woman doesn't have to get a job, then I require her to be a virgin. I am not going to spend my fortune on a used n abused product. It's insane that women wanna get run through by having plenty of sex with men who r nowhere close to a seriously made man's wealth n still wanna be taken as special. No used product is special. The foolishness!
😂😂😂😂 y usted es virgen ??? 😂😂😂😂
Totally message up.
