Rozana Isa has been in the women’s rights movement for two decades. She is currently the Executive Director of Sisters in Islam (SIS), a non-governmental organisation working on the rights of Muslim women within the framework of Islam. A graduate in accounting, she began her activism with the Women’s Aid Organisation in 1999. Over the years, she was exposed to the challenges faced by women to have their rights recognised and exercised in a context of increasing politicisation of race and religion within a democratic nation with parallel legal systems. Rozana believes that knowledge, engagement and community building are part of the key ingredients to address ethno-religious extremisms and to raise consciousness on gender equality.
