Speaker Profile
Noor Mastura is a multiple award winning social activist who advocates for gender equality, youth empowerment and civic responsibility through her training programs, speaking engagements and community partnerships.
Topic of talk: Empowering All Women in a Secular Society
The woman’s movement has split in multiple directions with various stakeholders. Is 50% of the world’s population unable to tell their stories, or are just choosing not to? If the point of the feminist movement is equality and justice for all women, then why are religious and non-religious women pitted against one another? We look to empower everyday women through the lens of humanity.
