A Radical Muslim group has been found guilty of discriminating against women after making them sit at the back of public meetings.

The landmark finding came after a Sydney woman took on the global political party Hizb ut-Tahrir.

The group will now be forced to mend their ways.

During a public meeting in Western Sydney, men are seated at the front and women directed to sit at the back.



One woman, Alison Bevege, was appalled by that treatment, so she went to the Equal Opportunity Tribunal.



Today, she won.

"If you want to have a public meeting in Australia you cannot have Sharia gender segregation at a public meeting," Ms Bevege said.

Global Islamist fundamentalist group Hizb ut-Tahrir calls for Sharia law to rule in Australia, holding rallies open to the public but expecting all attendees to conform to their rules.

"Their trying to normalise gender segregation, it's in their constitution, but this sends a strong message," Ms Bevege said.



Hizb ut-Tahrir claimed Alison is an Islamaphobe and that Australian law could not dictate the religious affairs of its members at rallies.

In its decision, the Tribunal found Hizb ut Tahrir guilty of unlawful discrimination on the grounds of sex and its leader Ismael al Wahwah personally responsible for the discriminatory conduct against women.
