PETALING JAYA: Political parties and candidates are urged to endorse the recently launched Women's Manifesto to champion women's rights in Malaysia. Angela said that 40 civil society organisations have already endorsed the Women's Manifesto, and hopes to see more political parties and organisations being added to the list. The three objectives of the Women's Manifesto is to have election candidates champion women's agenda, inform Malaysians on the state of women's rights, and to demand for change from the government to create a better environment for women's rights. The recently launched Women's Manifesto is the second to be launched. Many of the previous demands are still relevant, and the new Women's Manifesto builds on those previous issues.
