Women’s groups: Tribunal must be diverse

PETALING JAYA: Members of the Anti-Sexual Harassment Tribunal must be composed of well-versed Malaysians from various backgrounds and genders who are able to give a fair assessment of each case, say women’s groups.

Veteran women’s rights activist Ivy Josiah said the tribunal would be seen as a “safe” way to report if it has a diverse group of people representing the Malaysian population, including by gender, and if those who lodge complaints are not victimised or face backlash.
