As we begin a new decade
Last year was an extraordinary year for women and Singapore, with our women adventurers reaching the top of Everest and the South Pole. AWARE, meanwhile, went through its own crisis and emerged all the stronger and clearer about its role. As we begin a new decade, says Dana Lam, let's make 2010 a year of celebration and affirmation.Click here for more info.

Not OK to say boys will be boys and girls must
beware
The alleged groping
of a woman by four men at the Siloso Beach New Year’s Eve party sparked much debate
in the media. AWARE was asked by RazorTV to comment on the matter. The facts are not clear so
we did not comment on the incident itself, but the public reaction to the
incident was disturbing. This
is the statement we made. |
