Consider This: GE15 (Part 2) - Political Parties Fail To Field Women, Again

A record number of 945 candidates are contesting in the 15th General Election -- yet only 13.5% are women. Why have political parties yet again failed to field more women as candidates? On this episode of Consider This, Melisa Idris speaks to Associate Professor Dr Ummu Atiyah Ahmad Zakuan, Senior Lecturer at Universiti Utara Malaysia & part of the #PantauPRU15 initiative, which is focused on monitoring gender sensitivity in manifestos and the number of women fielded by political parties.
