The Women’s Caucus in the Parliament of Malaysia organized a public awareness campaign and a special forum to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

A public awareness campaign was spearheaded by Minister Mohamed Nazri Aziz, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, and by the Chair of IPU Malaysia and the Women’s Caucus, headed by Ms. Nancy Shukri. As part of the campaign, leaflets and information were distributed about the rights of women and children. The campaign was supported by the various NGOs.

On 24 November 2011, the Women’s Caucus organised a forum, with panellists from the various government agencies and NGOs speaking on the topic and interacting with other members of parliament. The forum adopted a resolution urging the government to set up a council for the elimination of violence against women and children and a commission for gender equality.
