Moving Towards A More Gender-Sensitive Parliament

With International Women's Day, 33 women MPs are calling for a more gender-sensitive parliament in order to promote gender equality in Malaysia. We speak with Tam Xueh Wei from the 111 Initiative to evaluate what the government's efforts to promote gender equality and explore what it would mean to have a gender-sensitive parliament.
