About this episode
Listen to current week’s news from and about the Church in Asia in a capsule of around 10 to 15 minutes.
Indonesia passes a historic domestic workers protection bill, while Myanmar’s leadership considers potential leniency for jailed Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. But, amidst a broadly positive week for global women’s and workers’ rights, Pakistani activists are questioning courts for blatantly disregarding a minority woman’s appeal for justice. Tune in for the latest developments from across Asia.
