Promote gender equality and fulfil 30% women participation in Govt, urges NGOs


PETALING JAYA: The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) has urged Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Pakatan Harapan to ensure at least one-third women's representation in the Federal and state government.

They said that while they appreciated the specific portfolio in the Penang state exco on gender inclusiveness, too little effort was being made in ensuring women's representation in the state exco.
