Following a year that saw gender politics catapulted to the fore and many women across the world speaking out, the BBC 100 Women season spotlights the trailblazing women who have turned their feelings of anger and indignation into a moment of action. In the two-part series, Trailblazers, 100 Women hears from women as they reflect on the moment they decided to stand up - and the change they inspired. In this first episode 100 Women speaks to Shaparak Shajarizadeh, a woman from Iran who protested against compulsory hijabs, and Russian model Svetlana Alekseeva, who was severely scarred as a child and is now baring the marks on her skin to inspire body positivity.
