Her mother was a teacher and her father held a degree in agriculture. She studied at Cairo University, where she initially did a BA in astronomy and then a masters and doctorate in civic education. She became politically active from a young age, participating in the students' movement even before she went to university. Her late husband also introduced her to political activities, as he himself was an activist. Azza went on to help found the New Woman Foundation, a research and political engagement group. Through this group she became involved in campaigning for women's issues. She also helped to found the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights. Eventually, she founded the Appropriate Communication Techniques for Development Centre (ACT) With ACT, she focused on women's issues within Egypt's governorates. In particular she helped campaign on women's health and education issues and against violence against women. She has also worked on the issue of women’s portrayal in the media and training female candidates in the 1996 elections. In 2010, she became involved in the newly-created Egyptian Women for Change, which aimed to unite all women's organisations in Egypt. She participated in the 25 January 2011 uprising, remaining politically independent. As of the interview, she was still hopeful that the revolution could produce lasting change in Egypt, particularly since the capitulation of the Muslim Brotherhood. ( en )
