What happens when you are confronted by choices that can provide you with opportunities that you would otherwise have only ever dreamt of? \n\nWhat happens when what may seem the most harmless of moves you make on social media by western standards can be scrutinised to the point where you could potentially bring dishonour to your family name? \n\nYou have to be really careful about your actions.\n\nDania Iskandari is from Iran, a country that is stringently governed by its Islamic and autocratic Supreme Leader and where its people have faced significant restraints with regard to human rights and civil liberties. As such there are aspects of Dania's life and her family which are best not discussed in our conversation.\n\nDania has just completed her Bachelor Degree in Psychology at Griffith University and is now planning to start her new life and career here in Australia.\n"}
