Idil Issa, a Black Muslim woman and recent McGill Law School graduate, shares her experiences during Ramadan and around International Womens Day. Born in Winnipeg and raised in Toronto, she worked abroad before returning to Montreal. Issa focuses on supporting Muslim womens well-being, particularly Black Muslim women facing additional challenges. She discusses Quebecs laws, such as Bill ninety-four, which bans face coverings for public school staff and students, creating barriers for Muslim women in jobs and society. Issa believes these laws are targeted at minorities for political gain and result in state-sanctioned exclusion. She emphasizes the importance of embracing diverse cultures and argues that Quebec loses talent by excluding Muslim women from the workforce.
