Organisers of the International Women's Day march on Saturday have restated their five key demands amid the backlash over the presence of LGBT participants in the demonstration.
They said contrary to the moral panic “instigated by the media, and amplified by the political opportunism by individuals in positions of authority, the International Women's Day march calls for:
• Ending violence based on gender and sexual orientation;
• Banning child marriages;
• Ensuring women's rights and freedom to make choices over their own bodies and lives;
• Ensuring a dignified minimum wage of RM1,800; and
• Destroying patriarchy and building a genuine democracy at all levels of society.
