Book launch: Growing Up Perempuan

August 7th, 2018 | Children and Young People, Events, Gender-based Violence, Muslim Women's Rights, News

Growing Up Perempuan is the follow-up to our first publication, Perempuan: Muslim Women in Singapore Speak Out. Growing Up Perempuan is a collection of stories written by women, for women. This book offers stories of love and loss, strength and endurance, confidence and courage – stories that inspire and empower. This is a book about challenging the status quo and learning to chart our own paths instead of having the world define them for us.

Come join us as we celebrate the release of Growing Up Perempuan! We will also be having a panel discussion, Growing Up Perempuan: Let’s Talk, where our panelists will share their thoughts and experiences on growing up in the Muslim community in Singapore.

Time: 7pm – 9pm
