AWARE’S popular Roundtable discussions continue with a presentation of a new study on violence against women in Singapore. Come and listen to Chan Wing Cheong, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law, NUS.

Existing data do not give a full picture of the extent of violence against women in Singapore or the victims’ profile. The present study is the first full scale attempt to uncover the prevalence and types of violence against women in Singapore through a random sampling of Singapore households. Socio-demographic highlights of those women who experienced violence in the last 12 months will be presented at this discussion.

It is hoped that this study will contribute to policy evaluation of Singapore’s efforts to curb violence against women and lead to cross cultural analyses with other parts of the world.

Speaker: Chan Wing Cheong, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law, NUS
Chair: Dana Lam, president of AWARE
