The “State of the World’s Human Rights” report 2023/24, published by Amnesty International, is an annual documentation of human rights conditions globally. According to the report, authorities across the world continue to "assault" universal freedoms, while economic crises, climate change and environmental degradation disproportionately affect already marginalised communities. This is just some of the findings from the report that documents human rights concerns from 2023 in 155 countries, including right here in Malaysia. We speak to Katrina Jorene Maliamauv, the Executive Director of Amnesty International Malaysia, to get a rundown of Malaysia's report card from 2023, and to discuss actions and steps governments and others can take, to do better for everyone.
