Hana Assafiri

Hana Assafiri promotes the rights of Muslim women, and indeed all women. She works to remove barriers that prevent women from living prosperous lives. In 1998, she started Moroccan Soup Bar, providing employment opportunities for marginalised people, and in 2017 she was inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women, celebrating her contribution made to local communities and human rights. In 2019 Hana was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for her services to women and the broader community. Her new memoir is Hana: The Audacity to be Free.
