Malaysian student Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam has launched a social media campaign to stop harassment and abuse at schools. KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian teenager Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam's unexpected rise from anonymous pupil to national leader against school harassment began with a teacher allegedly joking about rape.
The reaction has only strengthened her resolve to combat what she believes is pervasive mistreatment of girls in Malaysia's education system.Ain recorded her TikTok - now watched more than 1.8 million times - in April after being appalled by her male physical education teacher's joke during a class. "He really said that, and the girls were quiet," she says in the clip."But the boys, oh they were laughing like it was so funny to joke about, about raping someone."'TOXIC CULTURE'
Female pupils at Islamic schools in the Muslim-majority country are allowed to skip daily prayer sessions if they are on their periods. "There are a lot of kids my age and activists spreading more awareness about these kinds of issues," said Ain.
Tiktok is dodgy and leads to more abuses. Use YouTube instead.
