Jasmine Rajah

Jasmine Rajah, or better known as Jasmine King in her advocacy work, is the founder of Jas Explains (@thejasexplains), a platform designed to foster open dialogue and empowerment in areas such as sexual wellness, relationships, personal growth, and empowerment, all within the unique context of Malaysia. .

Having grown up hearing earfuls of teen pregnancy stories in her hometown of Penampang, Sabah, and questioning the rudimentary teachings of reproductive health, Jasmine took it upon herself to break the silence, doing so through her Instagram page as well as her podcast, “I Wish Someone Told Me”. She endeavours to break down barriers, normalise conversations, and uplift communities, ultimately striving for a more informed, inclusive, and empowered society.

Beyond the online world, Jasmine also organises community events with other organisations in hopes of creating more safe, sex-positive and empowering spaces in Malaysia. One such event is her bi-monthly event called ‘Saucy Mingle’, a networking event that brings community together to discuss about important issues relating to sexual health, pleasure and empowerment – a topic that not many feel safe enough to discuss outside.

Jasmine is also a member of Reproductive Rights Advocacy Alliance Malaysia (RRAAM), an organisation that aims increase and improve access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Malaysia. She has previously worked with other organisations and brands including UNFPA, IPPF, WAO, PACOS Trust, ONE, The Body Shop and more.

Making an impact is about staying true to your purpose, regardless of outside opinions. It’s not just personal fulfillment, but contributing to something greater. The joy and satisfaction from positively impacting the community far outweigh any material gain.
