While the Domestic Violence Act was passed and implemented in 1994, Sisters in Islam knew that truly ending discrimination against women would take more than a piece of legislation. In order to achieve a much broader goal, Sisters in Islam sought to educate the Malaysian public through pamphlets advocating a new interpretation of Islam that encompasses equality and justice for women. According to Sisters in Islam activist Nora Murat, "Hopefully, through this process, we can help to engender more informed public discussion on the issue, and build a constituency that will support our advocacy for a more enlightened and progressive Islam to take root in Malaysia."[4] Ultimately, Anwar says, "I hope that in ten years' time, Sisters in Islam can close shop. That we don't have to exist because all these problems will be solved, that we have a transformation of the teachings of Islam and the understanding of Islam and Islamic laws that recognize equality and justice."[5]
