It was great to witness the energy from the women leadership community in Penang. Mdm Bee Leng shared about the journey, coalitions involved and multiprong initiatives organised in Penang with #genderinclusivity as a focus. This includes Gender Inclusiveness Policy and Gender Responsive and Participatory Budgeting, where Penang is first state in Malaysia to have a policy around #genderinclusiveness.
