Najma Milla is an alumna of RAHIMA, one of IWE’s WELDD partners in Indonesia, and is featured in this film as a truly innovative and successful feminist leader in her community.

The video, created by IWE, tells the story of the struggles of Najma and her husband Nurul to establish an Islamic boarding school (pesantren) which is at the same time a public school, rather than being solely based on religion.
