In Malaysia, we are still struggling in certain areas of justice for women such as career advancement, domestic  abuse, even in the legal system, women are often at disadvantage. Especially outside of big cities,  most women are not aware of their rights, they stay in abusive relationships not knowing help is available  and often subjected to as ‘the lesser man’.

And even if they knew that help is available, many would not seek for it for fear of stigma, at risk of being ostracized by family members. Through social awareness campaigns,it is with hope that we can affect change within our own culture.
