It's the start of #16DaysOfActivism - a global campaign to end gender-based violence.

The #GE15 manifestos had 3 proposals on gender-based violence.

In conjunction with #16Days, the govt can commit to adopting these proposals right away.

Some recommendations:👇
(1) Enact the anti-stalking law #MakeStalkingACrime

This was in PN's manifesto, but all coalitions would agree. Dewan Rakyat already passed the Bill, but not the Senate.

Govt could commit to: A) pass the Bill as is; or B) improve the Bill (wao.org.my/tabling-of-law…) then pass it
(2) Implement the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act

BN and PN both committed to this. PH surely agrees. As the Act is already law, the government has to implement it.

The question is, what can the government do right away, to ensure successful implementation?

HARAPAN, BN, and PN #GE15 manifestos – which is best on women rights? My review👇
It may not be possible to definitively say "which is best".

Instead, I suggest a brief framework for analysis (asking 5 questions of each manifesto), and I offer some thoughts on policy commitments I felt were particularly noteworthy.
Question 1: First, we must ask if the manifesto is strong OVERALL.

When we hear “women” & policy, we often think of specific programmes targeted at women. These programmes are important, but just a small part of any policy agenda.
