The time has come for the annual International Women’s Day where we celebrate the wins of women while fighting to continue breaking the glass ceiling.

Last year, the Women’s March challenged the status quo by demanding rights within the realms of equal pay, sexual orientation and violence, freedom and political participation.

Every year, there will be controversy and resistance yet Malaysian women have proven their strength by soldiering forward despite those who try to silence them.

So far, there have been multiple posts recounting previous marches as well celebrating new movements through the distribution of art and poetry.
