KUALA LUMPUR: While Malaysia has made many strides in advancing women, it should also be acknowledged that the journey is far from over, says Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia.
"Some future goals in the pipeline include achieving 100% secondary school completion rates for girls by 2030; increasing women's representation in Parliament to 30% from 15% currently by 2028; reducing the gender pay gap to less than 5% by 2030; and ensuring 40% of senior management positions are held by women by 2035," said Raja Zarith Sofiah who was speaking at the 2024 World Women Economic & Business Summit and Awards.
