Our goal was always to support women's rights groups around the world in equal partnership to advance our common cause of women's equality under the law. Faiza embodied all the values of the organization, integrity, tenacity, humility and unassuming leadership. Because of her efforts and the young activists she has mentored both at Equality Now and across Africa, the landscape of women's rights is changed forever. From the drafting and bringing to life of the Maputo Protocol, to models for implementation of laws in local levels to protect girls and women from sexual violence, trafficking, child marriage and FGM, Faiza led it all and made an enormous impact. I have learnt so much from her and I will always always be grateful for her leadership, friendship, mentorship and critically her quiet integrity.”
