While we recognize the critical role that men play in women’s rights, a substantial proportion believes that we might be asking too much to the extent of discriminating against men.
Almost half of Global and Malaysian respondents claim that Gender discrimination is all around them. 1 in 5 Malaysians has seen it in its worse form of sexual harassment against women.
