Pakatan govt proves its seriousness in pushing for a gender-responsive agenda

05 May 2019

A stellar example is the appointment of Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail as the deputy prime minister — the country’s first woman appointed to the position. This indicates that the government is paying attention, and the momentum of pushing gender equality must continue. The appointments also looked beyond placing women in policy making positions as part of the machinery, and not just as novelties or quota fillers.

Senior lecturer at the Faculty of Communication & Media Studies, Universiti Teknologi Mara Siti Najah Raihan Sakrani said the recent appointment of women into key policy-making positions was a courageous move by the government and should be emulated by the private and corporate sectors.
