Growing up is never easy. But for people trying to grow up in a country where social mores are different to family expectations it can be even more challenging. Asma Yusra is an Australian-born Muslim of Indonesian background, and wants to help other women speak out about the challenges they face. Dr Nahid Kabir is a Research Fellow at the School of Communication and Arts at Edith Cowen University. She is a Muslim woman from Bangladesh and as part of her research, has interviewed a number of Muslim women about their hopes, dreams and past experiences and how they are coping with life in Australia. She says the challenges for Muslim women are even greater if they are born overseas. They are both talking to Rebecca Lewis.
