Amend Constitution to stop discrimination against women, NGO urges

Sarawak Women for Society (SWWS) urged all political parties to support amending the paternalistic terms used in the Federal Constitution as it was discriminatory against mothers.

This comes after the Court of Appeal last week overturned the 2021 landmark Kuala Lumpur High Court decision that Malaysian mothers have the same right as Malaysian fathers to confer citizenship by operation of law to children born overseas.
