Parliwomen is in session

Parliwomen is run by girls who share the same vision and passion for having more Malaysian women in politics, explains Anis.

RECOGNISING the need to have more female representation in politics, a group of youngsters started Parliwomen in 2021. A youth-led project called Parliwomen aims to raise awareness about the importance of having more women in politics (including but not only in parliament). It also hopes to increase political literacy and reduce public apathy among youth and also Malaysians at large.

The project started with just five or six young women but has grown over the last three years to the 20-odd members that are on board at the moment, all volunteering their time towards the end of increasing women's participation in politics.
