Why are schoolgirls being poisoned in Iran?

Thousands of schoolgirls have been poisoned across Iran. The attacks have been described by some observers as part of an extremist response – perhaps with tacit state endorsement – to the protests led by women and girls that have rocked Iran since the death of Mahsa Amini in September. Human Rights groups say the total number of victims is more than 7,000. So why are schoolgirls being poisoned in Iran?

In this episode, we speak to Nos Hosseini - Secretary and Spokesperson at Iranian Women's Association to find out, what role, if any, the Iranian government is playing in the attacks.
