妇女100的斗争- 纪念百年国际妇女节

日期:326上午9:30 -下午12:30
地点:CENTRAL MARKET 吉隆坡



为了什么 我们必须坚定地走出去?


每一天,10名妇女报告受到身体,情感和性的虐待;
在过去5年,有高达9575法定强奸的案件;
每一天,四名居住在马来西亚的妇女被强奸;
越来越多外藉员工被虐待,折磨和奴役;
并非所有马来西亚人皆获得基本合理的最低工资;


而在种植园和非正规部门工作的妇女 收入远远低于贫困线;
雇佣法修正案 干掉了工作安全 侵蚀了妇女在工作中所应获得的权利;
联邦宪法规定,在土地的最高法律之下,女性权利继续被歧视;
伊斯兰家庭法法案修正案 已经减少穆斯林妇女的权利;
过去20 妇女的政治代表比率 低于10%
过去20 妇女的劳动力参与47,停滞不前;
居留在大马 超过10的外籍妻子 仍然无法获得永久居留权

我们走,因为这是我们的权利- 被看到,被听到和受到平等的尊重

为了所有持续受到压制与歧视的沉默妇女

我们呼吁所有国州议员,以及政府代表


马来西亚人民 一起 跨出去 作出改变

各级决策的决定 我们要妇女能够发出的声音 以及具有代表性


准备好 跟我们一起 走??

100 years of women's struggles - in commemoration of International Women's Day

Saturday, March 26 · 9:30am - 12:30pm
Central Market, Kuala Lumpur

Why we MUST walk

Everyday, 10 women report physical, emotional and sexual abuse;
9,575 statutory rape cases were reported over the past 5 years;
Every day, four women are raped in Malaysia;
Migrant workers are increasingly abused, tortured and enslaved;
Basic, decent minimum wages do not yet exist for all Malaysians;
Women in the plantation and informal sectors earn well below the poverty line;
Amendments to the Employment Act remove work security and erode the
rights women gained at work;
The Federal Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, have clauses
that continue to discriminate against women;
Amendments to the Islamic Family Law Act have diminished the rights of
Muslim women;
Representation of women in politics has been less than 10% for the
past 20 years;
Women labour force participation has stagnated at 47% for the past 20 years;
Foreign wives with more than 10 years of residency still denied
permanent residence.

We walk because it is our right - to be seen, heard and respected as equals.

We walk for all women who remain hidden, silenced and discriminated.

We call upon ALL parliamentarians, state assembly persons, government
representatives

AND the PEOPLE of Malaysia -- Make the Change.

We want women’s voice and representation

at all levels of decision making

WILL YOU WALK WITH US?
