Heroes Among Us: Conversation with Ramila Chanisheff
Description
Ramila is a Uyghur-Australian advocate and the president of the Australian Uyghur Tangritagh Women’s Association. She is a passionate campaigner for Uyghur rights and a leading voice against forced labour and human rights abuses in East Turkistan (Xinjiang).
Ramila’s work focuses on raising awareness of Uyghur forced labour, advocating for legislative change, and supporting her community both in Australia and globally. She is deeply committed to amplifying the voices of those affected and pushing for accountability from governments and corporations.
Her unique perspective comes from lived experience—offering a “view from the ground” as someone directly impacted by modern slavery and genocide. Ramila’s advocacy is rooted in both personal resilience and strategic action, with a strong emphasis on consumer responsibility and legislative reform.
