In solidarity with Ain Husniza


THE social and online news media are still abuzz with the alarming revelations of a 17-year-old Malaysian student, Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam, who recently called out a male PE teacher in her school for making a distasteful and dangerous joke about rape.

The teacher had allegedly trivialised the crime and even advised the boys about not raping minors, implying that it was all right to rape adult women.
