Poll: Over half of Malaysians think push for gender equality ‘discriminating' against men despite one in five witnessing sexual harassment
KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 — While 21 per cent of Malaysians have witnessed sexual harassment against women, 52 per cent believe that the promotion of women's equality has "gone so far" to the point of discrimination against men, according to a recent survey. Ipsos' International Women's Day 2023 survey, which was released today, showed that an almost equal proportion of men and women (54 per cent versus 50 per cent) believed that the push for gender equality is hurting men. "While we recognise the critical role that men play in women's rights, a substantial proportion believes that we might be asking too much to the extent of discriminating against men," said Wan Nuradiah Wan Mohd Rani, Ipsos Malaysia's head of public affairs in its media release.
