It's the last in this year's International Women's Day series (although, in truth, every day is IWD at Standard Issue) and Hannah has been to chat to writer and photographer Samra Habib. They talk about her book We Have Always Been Here: A Queer Muslim Memoir, and about what it's like both to be LGBT in Muslim communities and a Muslim in LGBT communities. Don't forget to listen to all our our IWD20 series, where we talk to brilliant women including Amelia Bullmore, Sophie Walker, Helen Lewis, Vivienne Hayes and Su Pollard. And Happy IWD to you all.
