Other historic accomplishments that Nazlin has acquired on several occasions are Global recognitions whereby in the month of May 2006 Nazlin received a nomination as the world woman of the Year 2006 by the American Biographical Institute in the United States of America, again nominated for World Woman of the Year 2007, A. B. I., U. S. A., Nominated Gold Medalist Award for Kenya year 2009, A.B. I. U. S. A. At the same time Nazlin is to feature in the edition of the Great women of the 21st century. This volume will contain the unabbreviated biographies of less than one thousand great women of the 21st century who have attracted the attention of the American biographical Institute’s many years of research in preparation for this publication. Some of the prominent names to be profiled with Nazlin’s are HRH Queen Elizabeth II, Madeline Albright, Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Laura Bush, Mother Teresa and Queen Noor of Jordan. Nazlin’s name was selected by the governing board of editors of the ABI which numbers 10,000 and who hail from 75 countries around the world. So far Nazlin has never sought any awards out of her humble, demure and giving nature.
Nazlin was nominated by the Kenyan public for the ‘Eve Woman of the Year Award’, February 2005 but made news headlines and profiles setting an unheard of precedence in Kenya when she humbly pleaded the judges to withdraw her names, declared her support and humility for the ideology to celebrate the struggles of women and the recognition given to her but pleaded for the withdrawals of her names as a Nominee for the top prize as she felt the process of selection was not transparent nor democratic or rigorous enough, which was the fundamental core and essence of her struggles, amidst thundering applause by the over 1000 guests who accorded her a standing ovation. She asked the judges and the guest of honor the then minister of culture, Hon Raphael Tuju to accord the nomination to another deserving woman but sat in through-out the function to show her support and solidarity to the organizers and towards the struggles and gains women made.
Nazlin was nominated for the eve award for founding the mammoth national Muslim council of Kenya and the National Muslim women’s network the NUR, founding the ‘oasis of Hope’ a free legal and mediation service for women, having experienced pain, economic hardships caused by marital breakdown and family tragedies including multiple murders, being unreservedly vocal and passionate about her commitments to women’s economic, social and civil rights, having served numerous government committees and organs with national policy making , her lead role in the constitution review process in Kenya, governance, social justice and peace initiatives, her activities that have provided a voice for all women, oppressed peoples and for the downtrodden Muslim women, and ensured the NUR, the only National grassroots Muslim women network in Sub-Saharan Africa is present and active in the entire Nation and that Nazlin is credited for being the first woman to bring sensitive Islamic and women’s issues into the public domain, including the unveiling of HIV-positive Muslim women in her ‘breaking the silence behind the veil’ world famed project.
Nazlin being a woman who has demonstrated that democracy in an integral part of her life and as such her conscience would not allow her to partake in a process that would undermine her dignity, her principles, her integrity and the very essence of true democracy which is a quest all women are still constantly in search of. Not -withstanding her support for the idea of celebrating women’s achievements, Nazlin begged the indulgence of over a thousand elite citizens and the guest of Honor, the Minister of Information and amidst thundering applause and a standing ovation by the whole crowd, withdrew herself from the nomination to the Eve Woman of the Year Award, requested that the award be given to another deserving women and publicly recommitted herself as a servant, defender and bridge over troubled waters for all the worlds women, children and oppressed peoples, which was heavily captured by the press and endeared Nazlin deeper into the hearts of Kenyans. After Nazlin rejected the nomination it then went to the then nominated member of parliament and presently a Judge in the supreme court of Kenya, Hon Lady Justice Njoki Ndungu. And for the year 2012 the Eve nomination has been accorded to the First lady of the Republic of Kenya, Her Excellency Margaret Kenyatta.
