Malaysia

In 16 slides x 16 seconds, Take Back The Tech!ⁱ presentation narrates the story of how violence against womenⁱ and ICTⁱs links together in Malaysia. The presentation builds on the paper Malaysia: Violence against Women and Information Communication that , provides a snapshot and baseline on the law and policyⁱ in these two areas. The paper is part of the APC WNSP project 'MDG3: Take Back the Tech! to end violence against womenⁱ' that connects ICTs, VAW and Millennium Development Goal Three (MDG3ⁱ) in practice, policy and law.

Jac SM Kee and Sonia Randhawa highlight forms of VAW that have received recognition in Malaysia and provide the context of ICTⁱ development and national policyⁱ objectives in this paper. It is not an exhaustive assessment of the current stateⁱ of VAW, but rather aims to surface some of the interconnections between ICT issues and VAW and areas of potential opportunities for advocacyⁱ, as well as looking at related cyber laws and areas of regulationⁱ, particularly content regulationⁱ, privacyⁱ and surveillanceⁱ.
