Women's Rights

A brief report of Women’s Tribunal Malaysia, an inclusive public online forum, gathering 26 women from diverse backgrounds to offer testimonies on the discrimination they face in various aspects of their lives – with a spotlight on three fronts. Activists and lawyers acting as informal advocates and judges then offered recommended next steps to best effect change.

Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are one of the cornerstones of gender equality. Access to abortion is one important part of SRHR and the way women’s bodies are regulated reflects on how a society values women and gender equality. Both, Cambodia and Thailand have legalized abortion until the 12th week.
