On this episode we'll be discussing two different topics, firstly facing online harassment for daring to speak your mind, and in the second part of the show, activism at awards ceremonies.


In the first part, we take a look at the harassment faced by the social activists behind the #UndiRosak campaign. Maryam Lee, one of the activists involved, seemed to receive the brunt of the attacks. This ties in with the results of many surveys on online harassment, which have shown that by contrast, women – and especially young women – encounter sexualized forms of abuse at much higher rates than men. We discuss this with writer, Sharmilla Ganesan.


In the second part of the show, we discuss how awards ceremonies like the Golden Globes and Grammy's have become platforms for social activism. Should awards ceremonies be left alone? Lee Chwi Lynn joins us to discuss why influential women and men are doing the right thing by using such global, public events to promote campaigns like #MeToo and #TimesUp.
