A lot of effort went into drafting the Bill and the new government should ensure it becomes law. FMTNews AWAM IWD2020
For the All Women’s Action Society , the celebration of International Women’s Day 2020 in Malaysia is a bittersweet one.
Meeting after meeting was held in Putrajaya to draft out a workable Bill, and then to review each line of the draft Bill to ensure that all loopholes were closed and that sexual harassment laws would work within our country’s legal, social and culture systems. For this International Women’s Day, Awam would like to appeal to the powers that be to be aware of how much social policies such as the Sexual Harassment Bill could contribute to the positive development of the country.
This form of social capital is the security that Malaysia needs in our current troubled and uncertain times. In fact, from January to September last year, 186 cases of sexual harassment cases involved school-going kids, aged from seven to 18. Social policies like the Sexual Harassment Bill offers people the option to be treated fairly and equally.
