Abstract

AbstractAniza is 32 years old and works full time for the International Women’s Rights Watch Asia Pacific, which is based in Kuala Lumpur. Additionally, she is a member of Sisters in Islam (SIS), an organisation of Muslim women also based in Kuala Lumpur. The first time I met her was at one of the monthly study sessions that SIS organises in their main premises, where a guest speaker is usually invited to talk about relevant issues such as women’s rights or ‘reformist Islam’. Aniza was moderating the study session and discussion about ‘Islamic Modernism’. After that, I frequently met her at meetings of women’s activists from other NGOs, for instance, at the National CEDAW conference and at other events that SIS had organised. After several meetings Aniza agreed to be interviewed.KeywordsGender RelationMuslim WomanReproductive WorkGender OrderMalay PopulationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
