It builds on Empower’s previous research on online freedom of expression, freedom of information as well as freedom of assembly and association. It is a feminist response to increased instances of bullying and harassment on social media, seeking better understanding of how these forms of technology-related gender-based violence manifest in the Malaysian context. It draws attention to the Internet as a real living space for women where the harms of patriarchy are felt equally as they are offline. Insights gained from this study will aid in devising a more contextual response to the problems women face online including in laws and policies governing the Internet.</p> <p>Published in 2017. 52 pages, glossy paper, full colour.

The essays take the reader on a journey through the policy process, beginning with ratifying the United Nations convention. The essays demonstrate what a remarkable document CEDAW is. It has motivated policies to end gender discrimination, facilitated discussions about the relationship between discrimination and equality, and provided a context for addressing newly-emerging issues, such as gender identity and women refugees.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <p> </p> <p><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-1891 aligncenter" src="https://empowermalaysia.org/isi/uploads/2017/09/GOVERNANCE-215x300.png" alt="" width="215" height="300" srcset="https://empowermalaysia.org/isi/uploads/2017/09/GOVERNANCE-215x300.png 215w, https://empowermalaysia.org/isi/uploads/2017/09/GOVERNANCE.png 275w" sizes="(max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px" /></strong></p> <h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Redefining Governance</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: center;">Year: 2008<br /> Price: RM10<br /> Language: English or Malay</p> <p style="text-align: center;">“Redefining Governance: Women’s Rights and Participatory Democracy in Local Government” is the result of a monitoring project by the Women’s Development Collective (WDC).

Five case studies were selected based on the varied areas of engagement – poverty, education, youth activism, religious freedom and women’s rights. In turn, the experiences of their related constituencies – the rural poor, youth, and women – demonstrate the array of concerns, conflicts and attempts made to find peace, justice and unity by ordinary Malaysians in their everyday lives.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="column2"> <div class="column_inner"> <aside class="sidebar"> <div id="text-3" class="widget widget_text posts_holder"><h5>About EMPOWER</h5> <div class="textwidget">As EMPOWER, we advance women’s political equality towards justice and democracy centred on feminist and human rights principles.
