Marching For Women In Malaysia

Women's March Malaysia is a dynamic movement dedicated to advancing intersectional education and advocacy across a spectrum of issues. Grounded in the principles of inclusivity and social justice, Women's March Malaysia promotes gender equality, and works towards amplifying the voices of marginalised communities within Malaysia. We speak to *Ares, the Movement Outreach and Programmes Lead for the Women’s March Malaysia, to discuss the movement's continued work in advocating for women's rights and gender equality, and to discuss their mission, initiatives, challenges, and triumphs.
