Forty years ago, the All Women’s Action Society (AWAM) was born out of a small but determined group of Malaysian women demanding justice and equality.

On this episode of #TheFutureIsFemale Melisa Idris speaks with Betty Yeoh, trainer & counsellor for AWAM, and Jayamalar Samuel, Capacity Building Director at AWAM.
