This Valentine's we celebrate all kinds of love 💜🩵💛💚♥️ We hope today is a reminder that abuse, threat, and manipulation are never excuses for 'love'! Love flourishes when it is rooted in mutual respect and trust 💖🌷 If you're seeking support, do not hesitate to contact our Telenita Helpline: 📱 016-2374221 or 016-2284221 ⏰ Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 5:30pm ✉️ [email protected] #ValentinesDay2026 #TelenitaListens #AWAMMalaysia #FYPMalaysia

From the use of AI to undress women and children, to TV show marketing campaigns that promote harmful stereotypes of women, the media industry has played a role in perpetuating online gender-based violence 😞 To understand why, we spoke to Nadira Ilana who shared her experiences as a woman, Bornean filmmaker. She reminds us that media practitioners have the responsibility to tell dignified stories, uplift women and minoritised practitioners, and treat one another with respect ✨ Swipe to learn more ➡️ This project was funded by the International Federation of Journalists and the European Commission in 2024. #MediaToo #MediaJuga #EndGBV #NoExcuse #AWAMMalaysia #FYPMalaysia

New year, new logo, same mission for a more just, equal, and democratic Malaysia ✨💪🏽 AWAM’s new logo celebrates gender equality, inclusivity, and community empowerment. From the purple of the women’s movement to the batik that honours our Malaysian roots, every element reflects who we are and where we’re headed together 💜 A big thank you to @reise.digital for realising our creative vision - this logo would not be possible without you! #AWAMMalaysia #fypmalaysia

ஊடகங்கள், பாலின சமத்துவம் மற்றும் பாலின அடிப்படையிலான வன்முறை போன்ற சமூக பிரச்சினைகள் குறித்து நம்முடைய பார்வையை உருவாக்குவதில் மிக முக்கிய பங்கு வகிக்கின்றன. இந்த செய்திகளும் கருத்துகளும், பயன்படுத்தப்படும் ஊடகம் மற்றும் மொழியைப் பொறுத்து மாறுபடலாம் 💬 அதனால், ஒரு வருடத்திற்கு முன்பு, Astro Saravedi Night நிகழ்ச்சியின் டிவி தயாரிப்பாளரான விஷா கோவிந்தனை நாம் சந்தித்து, தமிழ் ஊடகம் எவ்வளவு மாற்றம் கண்டுள்ளது என்றும், பாலின அடிப்படையிலான வன்முறையை எதிர்கொண்டவர்களுக்கு டிவி தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் எப்படி ஆதரவாக இருக்கலாம் என்பதையும் பேசினோம் ✊🏿 இந்த திட்டம் 2024 ஆம் ஆண்டு சர்வதேச பத்திரிகையாளர் கூட்டமைப்பு (International Federation of Journalists) மற்றும் ஐரோப்பிய ஆணையத்தின் (European Commission) நிதியுதவியுடன் மேற்கொள்ளப்பட்டது. // The media plays a huge role in shaping our views on social issues, including gender equality and gender-based violence. Narratives and messages can vary across different mediums and languages💬 So, a year ago, we spoke to Vsha Govindan, a TV producer at Astro Saravedi Night about how much Tamil media has changed and what TV producers can do to empower gender-based violence survivors✊🏿 This project was funded by the International Federation of Journalists and the European Commission in 2024. #MediaToo #MediaJuga #EndGBV #NoExcuse #AWAMMalaysia #fypmalaysia

✏️ In the fourth quarter of 2025 (October to December), we recorded 88 cases of Gender-Based Violence reported across several media outlets. 😔 Most cases were related to sexual assault, domestic abuse, and murder, with an overwhelming majority of cases being perpetrated by someone known to the victim/survivor. 👩🏽 There were 98 survivors impacted and 19 deaths over the three months. 📣 Alarmingly, there were 14 femicide cases, perpetrated by intimate partners, family members, and strangers. Swipe to the last page for a breakdown of who femicides can be perpetrated by. *Total number of GBV cases from 2025 might look lower compared to 2024 as we've refined our data collection methods. #EndGBV #BreakTheCycle #EndFemicides #AWAMMalaysia #fypmalaysia

👀 The festive season looks joyful on the outside but for many women, it also comes with invisible pressures. 🎁 For this festive season, let's notice the unspoken work and appreciate the women who hold everything together. 🌟 Most importantly, let's share the load 🎄 A holiday isn't truly joyful if it exhausts the women who makes it possible 📣 AWAM Office and Telenita helpline will be closed on Thursday, 25th December! #AWAMMalaysia #Christmas2025 #HolidayPressure #SeasonsOfGiving #fypmalaysia
