The group are in Liverpool this week where Yemeni Scouser Amina lives with her family. She wants to challenge the idea that Muslim women are oppressed, but what will the group think?

She introduces them to the Abdullah Quilliam mosque – one of the first mosques in Britain and teaches them how to wear a hijab. The women ask her questions about her faith and there’s a debate about where women pray in the mosque.

Amina brings the women to her home to meet her father and grandmother and they find out more about her Yemeni background.

The next day, Amina reveals she is more than just a student and tries to get them involved in a poetry workshop but there are tensions among the group.
