BERSUARA: Ideas For Malaysia

Our Interview with Qyira is here! - This month, we reflect on #Parlimen Digital with none other than Qyira Yusri herself. We discuss Parlimen Digital, the impact of #Undi18, Undi18’s role in the Youth Defence Summit 2019, and her thoughts on what policies would work best for improving gender empowerment in Malaysia. Qyira is the co-founder of #Undi18, a grassroots initiative that successfully encouraged the government to debate and pass laws the reduce the voting age in Malaysia to under 18. This is to name but a few accomplishments Qyira has under her belt. She is also a full-time campaigner for a wide range of other issues, from gerrymandering to an ecological fiscal transfer in the Constitution.
