Thai model targets 'shocking' gender violence in new UN role


Some 30-40% of women in Malaysia, Japan, the Philippines and South Korea suffer workplace sexual harassment.

BANGKOK: When Thai authorities told women to dress modestly to avoid sexual assault during New Year festivities two years ago, model Cindy Bishop hit back online - turning her into a prominent voice for gender equality in Asia.

With an Instagram video hashtagged #DontTellMeHowToDress, Bishop's bold stand quickly evolved into a broader movement against gender-based violence and a lack of opportunities for women and girls in Thailand and beyond.
