Lex Act

LexACT was founded in 2019 with the vision of inspiring and empowering students to engage in activism, community service, and societal change through the integration of legal principles. Initially driven by a group of passionate students, LexACT has evolved into a dynamic organization committed to fostering a culture of community engagement and volunteerism.

The name LexACT stands for Legal Activism through Action, Change, and Trust. This embodies our mission to address societal issues, act as catalysts for positive change, and build trust within the community through transparency and integrity. We aim to spread awareness on various social and legal issues by organizing events on human rights, environmental justice, and social equity.

Our key initiatives include regular awareness campaigns, interactive sessions with legal professionals and activists, and community service projects. We also collaborate with other university clubs and organizations to amplify our message and create a larger impact.

LexACT invites all students to join our movement towards a just and equitable society. We offer a platform, resources, and support for those passionate about human rights, environmental justice, or any other cause. Through action, change, and trust, we aim to make a meaningful difference within the university and the wider community.

LexACT X SUHAKAM: Unravelling Statelessness in Malaysia

In light of the recent amendment bill to Article 14 of the Federal Constitution and the issue of statelessness in Malaysia, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) has collaborated with Lex ACT to organize a panel discussion in relation to the said topic.

Lex ACT aim to highlight the topics of citizenship statelessness from the legal dimension and propose more initiatives to safeguard these vulnerable communities. They extended invitations to speakers from diverse backgrounds, encompassing various dimensions of the topic to provide a comprehensive and inclusive perspective.

Lex ACT also organized a booth exhibition by organizations championing for the issue of statelessness and citizenship, as part of our effort to help further this cause. Those booths serves as strategic points of engagement, aiming to transform dialogue into tangible action.

(The S.W.I.M Project) Beyond the Lens:

Understanding and Challenging the Sexualization of Women in Media

The objectification and sexualization of women and girls in the media have far-reaching consequences, contributing to the normalization of harmful stereotypes and reinforcing cycles of violence against women and girls worldwide. This issue is especially pervasive in digital spaces, where women are often portrayed in ways that demean them, leading to both emotional and physical harm.

Lex ACT's initiative seeks to confront these challenges directly. Through an in-depth presentation and a series of interactive sessions led by activists and media experts, we aim to bring clarity to the roots and impact of sexualization in media, with a particular focus on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where these representations are rampant. By empowering the next generation of leaders to understand, question, and advocate against these practices, we believe we can begin to tackle the culture of sexualization.

This series features influential activists in women’s empowerment and representatives from feminist NGOs, collaborating with the members of Lex ACT on a digital campaign designed to raise awareness and spark change across online platforms. Our efforts will be targeted at the very heart of the digital landscape, driving our message for equality and respect directly to where the problem is most visible.
