I had the honor of working with Azizah on a weeklong platform on protecting minorities in Asia where she drove the point of ensuring work involve the Rohingya people not just their voices — and that recognizing their people’s contribution to reclaiming dignity should accompany every initiative on human rights and justice. She spoke as a victim and refugee, and thoughtfully adds how overcoming her own struggle showed her what life should be for every Rohingya. Azizah embodies the aspirations of every minority: equality, dignity, and peace.

Noor has a welcoming and open warmth about her. With her wealth of lived experience, she connects with her refugee and migrant peers with so much ease. Noor understands the nuanced lives of women in her Rohingya community - living between identities, cultures and responsibilities. This makes her a determined advocate and I'm honoured to know her.
