Budget 2023 will be tabled in Parliament this Friday, the 7th of October. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob previously stated that the government will table a Gender Responsive Budget, especially for B40 households. But what should a gender responsive budget look like, and how should the government address the needs of women? 

We’re joined by Jernell Tan, Information & Communications Officer, All Women Action Society and Prof. Dr. Noraida Endut, Professor at Unit for Research on Women and Gender (KANITA). Both Jernell & Prof Noraida are part of the Gender Budget Group.
