PETALING JAYA: The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) is urging the Government to put in place gender equality legislation in order to improve and promote equality for both men and women.
In a statement on Tuesday to mark the 2016 International Women’s Day, its chairman Tan Sri Hasmy Agam said that although Malaysia has made significant progress towards gender equality in recent years, particularly in areas such as education, gender stereotyping and roles are still common and well integrated into the society.
