18 March 2020: Women in Politics – Power, Stereotypes and the Challenges of Public Life

In Singapore, only 24% (24 of 100) of current Members of Parliament are women. This is below the 30% benchmark often identified as the necessary level of representation to achieve a “critical minority”, rather than a token few individuals. It goes without saying that this figure also fails to proportionately represent women in Singapore, who make up half of the nation’s population.

In her speech on International Women’s Day last year, Manpower Minister Josephine Teo called for a “concerted effort” to encourage women to enter politics. Yet women politicians still face higher barriers and more gendered social expectations than men do – as made clear by the recent case of a female MP’s photograph being doctored in a sexual manner.

Can there be a level playing field for women in politics? How can we address underlying gender inequalities and the sexism that women politicians have to deal with on an everyday basis? Join AWARE for this panel event, where we speak to NMP Anthea Ong, MP Sylvia Lim and MP Tin Pei Ling about their experiences navigating the local political scene.

Moderator: Anita Kapoor

[Online] Not Just Snowflakes – Three Young Feminists Break Down Activism in Singapore

Important: We had originally scheduled this event for 27 March, at the AWARE Centre. However, due to new regulations about gatherings during the COVID-19 outbreak, “Not Just Snowflakes” will be held as an online panel via Zoom. Please register on Eventbrite, and the Zoom link will be emailed to you. Thank you!

 

“Am I a keyboard warrior?”

“Is it enough to just like and repost?”

“What do I have to do to be considered a legit activist?”

“What platforms do I have and how can I use them for advocacy?”

The past year was fraught with environmental, social and political change around the world. Issues such as sexual voyeurism, climate change, “dissident” education and POFMA have made headlines in our local news. Nevertheless, young people have been taking matters into their own hands, passionately speaking up about injustice in the hope of righting the wrongs of previous generations. Young activists are more important now than ever before.

In Singapore, where typical activist activities such as protests and public criticism can be considered illegal, it may be intimidating getting involved in civil society. But we can help you get started.

This International Women’s Day, join us for an honest conversation with three young feminists doing activism work. Whether through storytelling, community building, or art and writing, these women challenge conventional notions of what activism looks like. Spend the evening in invigorating conversation about what it means to be an activist in Singapore.

Moderator: Chong Ning Qian, AWARE

Speakers:

  • Reetaza Chatterjee, Your Head Lah!
  • Filzah Sumartono, AWARE
  • Aarti Olivia Dubey, writer and body positivity activist

When: Thursday, 9 April 2020, 7 – 8.30pm
Where: Online (via Zoom)

This event is free.

Reetaza Chatterjee (“Reetz”, she/her) is the founder of Your Head Lah!, a mental health collective that aims to amplify marginalised voices in Singapore. A firm believer in the power of storytelling, she sees community and collective healing as central to liberation work. In the past, she has worked in a range of social justice issues, including providing support to survivors of sexual violence, doing crisis counselling, as well as disability justice and anti-racist campaigning. She sees herself as a chapalang activist because isn’t all oppression connected? Her hobbies include dancing to Beyoncé songs in her undies, crying at photos of dogs, and trying to find more ways to love the people she loves.

Filzah Sumartono (she/her) currently works at AWARE. She is co-editor of the books Perempuan: Muslim Women in Singapore Speak Out and Growing Up Perempuan, which are anthology collections of essays and poems written by women about their lived experiences. She is also a strong advocate against the practice of female genital cutting (FGC) and has been featured in Reuters and other media outlets.

Aarti Olivia Dubey (she/her) is a former psychotherapist turned activist. She advocates for human rights – fat body positivity, disability justice, LGBTQ rights – and advocates the importance of mental health care. As someone who struggled with eating disorders, depression and anxiety most of her life, she hopes to educate with her expertise and personal experiences. Aarti is an ardent animal lover who enjoys being a homebody around her husband and pets. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and spends her free time watching Tik Tok videos, meditating or being in the pool.

28 March 2020: Sexual Assault First Responder Training

Note: Thanks to everyone who has signed up for this Sexual Assault First Responder Training! Hopefully you have received our notification that the training will be held ONLINE-ONLY this month (and for the foreseeable future). More details will be emailed out shortly. This month’s session is at full capacity but we will be running again in April.

“Are you sure that happened? Why didn’t you fight back? You should have known better.” These are some common responses survivors of sexual assault have heard, which may further their feelings of doubt, guilt and shame.

First response that is sensitive to the survivor’s needs and choices is necessary in preventing re-victimisation. We may not always know the right words to say, but we can all agree that sexual assault should never happen to anyone.

One way to show zero tolerance for sexual assault is through our own words and actions. It is not always easy for survivors to tell someone about what happened. In fact, for some survivors, it can be especially daunting.

As an individual that they put their trust in, our response becomes pivotal in their journey of recovery. SACC’s First Responder Training helps familiarize participants with trauma reactions and symptoms to better contribute to a survivor’s well-being. In this workshop, SACC will share more on the following:

1. Definition of sexual assault and harassment

2. Recognising Singapore’s legal framework

3. Understanding consent

4. Understanding the impact of sexual assault and trauma on survivors

5. Role of a first responder

6. Providing support to survivors of sexual assault

7. Resources available for help

8. Key skills such as ensuring safety, active listening and empathy

When: 28 March 2020, 9am – 1.30pm [4.5 hours]
Where: International Plaza, #34-08, 10 Anson Road
Cost: Suggested donation $10 (Light refreshments will be provided)

Under AWARE’s #AimForZeroSG campaign, this popular workshop has been made affordable to all. While you are welcome to pay what you can, we suggest a sum of $10 per workshop attendee. Please note that all proceeds to towards SACC and that the donation made towards the workshop is non-refundable.

We strongly request that all participants commit to the full duration of the 4.5-hour workshop to ensure that everyone will get the opportunity to engage in interactive discussions and learn useful skills.

POSTPONED: Birds & Bees – starting open conversations about sex, consent and relationships at home

Important: We have decided to postpone this workshop to a later date, which will be announced soon. Hope you understand. Thank you for the interest!

“This was valuable… it made me reflect on my own values regarding sex and what I may project onto my children.”

“It opens up our inhibitions and gives us real opportunities to put [our thoughts into] words.”

“Often boys are let off the hook, but I think they should be mindful and learn about boundaries, especially in this day and age when lines are blurred and there’s so much to access online.”

“Can they do this in school for our children?”

– Previous Birds & Bees workshop attendees

How do you talk to your children about sex? It’s a topic that many parents are happy to put off discussing for as long as possible. But what are the consequences of making home an environment where talks about physical intimacy are off-limits?

Birds & Bees is an experiential workshop for parents, run by parents, to help you start and sustain the important conversation about sex – in a non-judgmental way. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, this workshop will allow you to:

  • Understand the lasting, positive impact of talking to your children about sex and relationships
  • Introduce crucial information about consent, personal boundaries, and safety to your children
  • Talk openly about the difference between respectful, healthy relationships, and abusive, unhealthy relationships
  • Improve your communication with children on difficult or uncomfortable topics
  • Create a home where your children are not afraid of approaching you if they have questions or are troubled about a relationship or sexual encounter.

Through case studies, role-play and facilitated discussions, the workshop will give you a chance to think more deeply about your values and sexual health knowledge, and improve communication with your children. All parents are welcome, though we’ll deal with issues most relevant to parents of teenage children (12-18 year olds).

Date: 28 March 2020 (Saturday)

Time: 10am – 1pm (3 hours)

Venue: AWARE Centre (5 Dover Crescent #01-22)

Workshop Fee: $15*

*Good news! Due to new funding, we have been able to reduce our workshop entry fee from $25 to $15 in 2020.

Survey: After you sign up, you will be asked to complete a short pre-workshop survey about the age(s) and number of your children. We will try to group participants with children of similar ages together during the workshop.

Refunds and cancellations: Unfortunately we will not be offering refunds. However, with minimum two days notice, you may switch to a future workshop date. If you need to do so, or if you have any other questions, please email Joo Hymn at publiceducation@aware.org.sg.

Fellows will deepen their understanding of the complexities and nuances of sexual violence by:

Postponed: Write Forum – A writing workshop by Dana Lam and Margaret Thomas

Important: We are postponing this workshop until further notice, for the safety of attendees and our senior workshop leaders. Apologies for the inconvenience! We will be in touch with the rescheduled date when possible.

Do you have something to say about the news stories you read in the papers? Are you bothered by issues of injustice or inequality?

Writing letters to the newspapers is one way that engaged members of the public can express their views in Singapore. But persuasive letter-writing is a subtle art. How can your words enter the national discourse effectively – that is, with conviction, responsibility and eloquence?

Join Dana Lam and Margaret Thomas, two long-time writers and women’s rights activists, as they analyse their own epistolary triumphs and share strategies for getting ideas across effectively, succinctly and powerfully. Dana, a former president of AWARE, and Margie, the current president of AWARE, have written prolifically to the press, government agencies and others, raising awareness about issues of gender, inequality, violence and more, and moving the needle towards progress.

This is a rare chance to learn from two leading lights in Singaporean civil society.

Programme Overview:

11:00 – Introduction and presentation – why write letters?

  • Letter-writing as one component in the activist’s tool bag
  • The AWARE experience – letters in advocacy, such as the “Stop Violence Against Women” campaign
  • Structure, tone and word count

11:45 -Responses and break

12:05 – Analysis of sample letters: content, tone, structure, purpose

12:40 – Write now: participants work on letters collaboratively/individually

13:15 – Let’s hear it: presentation and discussion of participants’ letters

Details:

Date: Saturday, 21 March 2020

Time: 11am – 2pm

Venue: AWARE Centre (5 Dover Crescent, #01-22, Singapore 130005)

Workshop fee: $10. Food and materials will be provided. Remaining proceeds will go to AWARE’s programmes and services.

Note: Participants are invited to bring along other letters they have written or that strike them as interesting, for discussion.
