Two Steps Forward But A Long Way Until Equality

from Pressing Matters · host BFM Media

Last week, Parliament passed the Anti-Sexual Harassment Bill, which was decades in the making, and the Kedah state assembly raised the minimum age for Muslim marriages to 18 years old.

We run through these headlines with Tehmina Kaoosji, independent journalist and gender equality activist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
