Malaysia apologises after telling women to avoid nagging their husbands
- Tuesday | 31st March, 2020
KUALA LUMPUR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Malaysia apologised on Tuesday after telling women to speak with a cartoon cat voice and avoid nagging their husbands during coronavirus lockdowns, a move that sparked a sexism row. “How did we go from preventing baby dumping, fighting domestic violence to some sad variant of the Obedient Wives Club?” Twitter user @yinshaoloong wrote before the apology. “No tips on how to deal with domestic violence?” asked another user @honeyean. Women’s groups have warned lockdowns could see a rise in domestic violence, with women trapped with their abusers.
