THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

It’s very hard for women like me, because in this society we like to put women in cages: we have the ‘good girl’ and the ‘bad girl’. But what is a ‘bad girl’? We create these phrases like ‘easy girl’ but, for me, they are very strong and very free. I admire these bad girls. I don’t want the pressure to be submissive to certain morals. If the way I am makes me seem like a bad girl from society’s perspective, I don’t care. My own pleasure is more important.

Zahia Dehar in Wetherall/Hotcorn

At the time, he was a winger for Bayern Munich earning a stratospheric salary, a French national hero with a seemingly unshakable image back home as a funny, ugly Mr Wholesome, who had dragged himself up from a deprived early life on one of the poorest estates in northern France, was disfigured by a childhood car crash, married his childhood sweetheart, was a good dad and an observant convert to Islam who symbolised the mixed identities of France. Then it emerged that Dehar had been quietly flown over to Germany to order by Ribéry when she was aged only 17.
