About the show
Muslim women and rape victims have a lot in common; people are obsessed with what we are wearing. Join comedian Sadia Azmat for an hour of unapologetic rape jokes (BBC Sounds presenter, author of Sex Bomb, ITV's Good Morning Britain). Rape is considered a dirty word, so Sadia's come up with a new word: Rapism. An original show that takes a look at the current system where sexual violence rates are 83%, with only 1 in 6 victims of sexual assault coming forward. This is an unmissable hour of comedy.
'Honest, much needed' (Frank Skinner).
