Gender parity in political representation act: Turning 30% into law

Projek 30% began as a campaign to persuade political parties to field at least 30% women candidates by the next general election, and now it has entered a new phase.

Civil society groups behind the campaign have drafted a proposed gender parity bill and begun briefing MPs on how the 30% target could be mandated by law.

Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with Ayesha Sofia Faiz, the programme Officer at Empower, and Anfaal Saari, the Selangor executive council member for women’s development and social welfare and deputy chief of the women’s wing of Amanah.
