Making up an estimated half of Malaysia’s electoral roll, women remain to this day crucial determiners of who comes to power and stays in power. So why do women’s issues and legislations that impact women persistently face an uphill battle?
In an increasingly “vocal” Malaysia, there is constant and consistent coverage of the many inherent issue that women in our country face. These grievances have been discussed, debated and deliberated time and time again, only to yield the absolute bare minimum in the form of aid, assistance or allocation. In a world that lauds women-led governance and strives for the protection of women, Malaysia is at risk of being left behind or termed “regressive”. It is the need of the hour to adopt a more gender-responsive political agenda that not only uplifts but also empowers women in the long run.
