Malay translation:kesan kemanusiaan
Explanation:
The english term itself has broad application, so I would come up with equally broad translation "kesan kemanusiaan". Then in my article, I would elaborate this term according to the topic.

Alternatively you may want to try "impak kemanusiaan". But that would spoil the "malay" factor.

konsekuens insani


Explanation:
human = insani
consequence = konsekuens

I'm just giving you an alternative, since kesan=effect and kemanusiaan=humanity
