The Malaysian government is making good progress towards a safer and more equal environment for women and girls following the proposed new or amended legislation, says Ambassador and Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia, Maria Castillo Fernandez.Furthermore, the ambassador said the establishment of a Select Committee on Rights and Gender Equality in Parliament was also a good step forward for equality.
“We want girls and women to achieve equality in all aspects of life - access to education, equal pay for equal work, access to top positions in companies and politics, as well as protection from violence,” she added. The framework focuses on five priority areas. They are greater female labour market participation and economic independence of women and men, reduce the gender pay , promote equality between women and men in decision-making, combating gender-based violence and protecting and supporting victims, and promoting gender equality and women's rights across the world.
Fernandez said the Spotlight Initiative, a joint programme by the EU and the United Nations, is the largest-ever programme to stop violence against women in the world.
