In Short:
We're exploring how gender attitudes are evolving in Malaysia – and what's driving the change.
In partnership with Investing in Women and funded by the Australian Government, our research explores how social norms shape household, care, and economic roles – with the goal of boosting economic empowerment for women and gender-diverse Malaysians.
About the research
We're looking for
- People of all genders (and non-binary folks)
- Aged 18-40 years old
- Who currently live in urban areas in Malaysia
