Overview & Mission

Pride in Research is a student-led initiative dedicated to advancing LGBTQ+ research and advocacy in Malaysia. Our goal is to bridge knowledge gaps, challenge misconceptions, and amplify queer voices through data-driven studies, publications, and community engagement.

What We Do:

LGBTQ+ Research & Publications – Conducting studies on social, economic, and psychological aspects of LGBTQ+ life in Malaysia.

Community & Advocacy – Raising awareness on LGBTQ+ rights, policies, and experiences through public discussions and collaborations.

Storytelling & Media – Showcasing real experiences through interviews, articles, and digital storytelling.

Workshops & Panels – Organizing events to educate and empower LGBTQ+ individuals and allies.

Policy & Inclusion Studies – Researching LGBTQ+ inclusion in universities, workplaces, and public institutions.

Current Project:

University Inclusion & Support Study – Investigating how Malaysian universities support or marginalize LGBTQ+ students, aiming to identify gaps in mental health support, discrimination policies, and campus inclusivity.

Who’s Involved?

We are a team of researchers, writers, designers, and activists from various Malaysian universities (UM, USM, UPM) working to push LGBTQ+ issues into academic and policy discussions.
