Malaysia is one of the few countries in the world that has attained parity across genders at the tertiary education level.
In Malaysia, women make up about 52% of tertiary education enrolment, compared to 48% men, meaning women slightly outnumber men at this level.
So, why, despite this, does women’s participation in politics remain incredibly low?
According to the folks behind Kryss Network, one of the key reasons is gendered disinformation. They are running a campaign to counter gendered disinformation with the support of Empower.
BFM discusses what exactly gendered disinformation is, its impact, and how we can deal with it and encourage more women to participate in politics. On the line are Ayesha Sofia Faiz from Empower and Abdullah Nishad from Krysss Network.
