Guest: Nazreen Nizam, Executive Director, Women's Aid Organisation
Here’s a good thing you need to know: a world where women are safe, heard, and empowered is possible, and the Women’s Aid Organisation is making that a reality. From advocating for stronger laws to ensuring survivors of domestic violence get the protection and support they need, WAO has been a powerful force in shaping policies and attitudes towards gender-based violence in Malaysia, for over 40 years now. As we mark International Women’s Day, we sit down with their newly appointed Executive Director, Nazreen Nizam, to talk about what’s next for WAO, the biggest challenges facing women today, and why collective action is key to making real progress.
