OCTOBER 3 — The All Women’s Action Society (AWAM) strongly urges the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Police Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) to take urgent, concrete and resolute action against the many groups on different platforms like the Telegram group called V2K in...

All members of the V2K group are men. The group has close to 40,000 male members, made up of university students, rich businessmen and many others. The V2K group alone has broken laws on criminal intimidation, sexual harassment, data privacy, the sharing of lewd content and potentially, laws on sexual abuse of children. Again we stress, demolishing this group and putting the perpetrators being bars should be an urgent priority issue for both PDRM and MCMC.

Based off past cases, AWAM understands that boys as young as 15 are members of these groups. This is how toxic masculinity is perpetuated. Young boys are influenced by older men in such groups to sexualise and disrespect women. What is learnt in the digital world is then replicated in the real world.

With such awareness of women’s rights amongst our Executive, it is mind boggling that groups such as V2K have been allowed to exist, let alone operate with such impunity.
