Abstract

Government censorship poses another significant challenge as the Sedition Act and the Communications and Multimedia Act are frequently used to silence dissenting voices. Women activists may find themselves at risk for posting content that is considered harmful or seditious. This creates a climate of fear and leads to self-censorship. Despite these challenges, the rise of digital activism by Malaysian women marks a significant shift in the nation’s social landscape. It demonstrates the power of online platforms in empowering women to challenge the status quo and demand change. As Malaysia’s digital space evolves, this trend is likely to play an increasingly important role in shaping the country’s future
