  As an Advisory member, I provide valuable insights and expertise on regional developments, particularly in feminist and political spheres, to support Purposeful's participatory approaches. My role involves co-creating grantmaking strategies that address the diverse needs and priorities of various communities and groups. I facilitate outreach and communication in my region to ensure that marginalized girls and young people have access to resources and support, and I collaborate with movements in the region to build solidarity and share resources. I also provide input on funding application design to ensure that even nascent and hard-to-reach groups have equal access to the application process. I actively participate in reflection sessions and provide feedback to help improve the evaluation of applications from one grant cycle to another. As a member of the Advisory team, I am responsible for reviewing, scoring, commenting, and prioritizing all eligible applications received based on Purposeful's core values and funding priorities. Additionally, I work closely with other advisors on a regional panel to finalize results and make decisions on grant allocation during funding moments throughout the year. In my role, I also support the design and implementation of Purposeful's accompaniment program, which provides additional support and resources to grantees beyond financial assistance. I participate in advocacy spaces and engage with other funders, contributing my deep regional expertise to Purposeful's Theory of Change. Furthermore, I document and amplify the Advisory and accompaniment journeys, as well as the work of grantee partners, by sharing insights and learnings to use in philanthropic influencing activities. Finally, I co-design and co-facilitate learning calls with grantee partners during each funding round, helping to build capacity and foster community among Purposeful's grantees. Show less

Overall, my time at Dewan Muda Malaysia was an incredibly rewarding experience that allowed me to develop my skills as a leader and advocate for positive change within the education system.

  During my discussion session with Siti Aishah Hassan Hasri, the founder of Spot Community Programme, I emphasized the importance of comprehensive sexuality education in schools and highlighted the issue of rape jokes. I asked Siti Aishah to comment on how the normalisation of such jokes in schools violates bodily autonomy. Rape jokes normalise sexual violence as something that is funny and permissible, and violate boundaries and the right to do what you want with your body. I believe that rape jokes play a role in normalising such criminal acts and may even lead to rape threats. Show less
