The survey\u2014Singapore\u2019s first comprehensive survey on discrimination at work\u2014polled 1,000 respondents on their experiences of (i) direct discrimination, (ii) indirect discrimination and (iii) discrimination-related harassment. The findings were astounding: In the previous five years, 55% of respondents had experienced at least one form of discrimination (the most common being race, age and gender). Certain groups, including women, persons with disabilities, racial minorities and LGBTQ+ persons, were also found to be more vulnerable to discrimination at work.<\/p><p>The survey findings were widely covered by news outlets, including <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/1-in-2-people-experienced-discrimination-at-work-aware-milieu-survey-shows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Straits Times<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.todayonline.com\/singapore\/people-minority-races-disabilities-discrimination-workplace-aware-poll-1997741\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TODAY<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaobao.com.sg\/realtime\/singapore\/story20220920-1314980\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lianhe Zaobao<\/a><\/em>.

comics<\/a> aimed at raising awareness around coercive control\u2014a domestic violence framework that is as yet little understood in the Singapore context. This series comprised one primer comic (\u201cIdentifying Coercive Control\u201d) which provided a brief overview of coercive control, as well as three narrative strips (\u201cCouldn\u2019t you see what was going on?\u201d, \u201cWho\u2019s going to look at you?\u201d and \u201cThe kids don\u2019t love you.\u201d), loosely adapted from the experiences of coercive control survivors assisted and interviewed by AWARE.<\/p><p>These comics were well-received <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/ClXoTufSKg-\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on social media<\/a>, garnering more than 165,000 impressions and 17,500 engagements across platforms in three months. More meaningful than the numbers, though, were the many comments and messages we received from users\u2014some of whom had experienced or witnessed coercive control in their own lives, and were recognising the fact for the first time. \u201cTh[is] was hard to read.

AWARE in 2022. For one, we continued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aware.org.sg\/2022\/04\/image-based-sexual-abuse-technology-facilitated-sexual-violence-seen-by-aware-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our annual analysis of TFSV cases<\/a> seen by our Sexual Assault Care Centre in the previous year. Of the 227 new TFSV cases in 2021, image-based sexual abuse featured in 1 in 2 cases; meanwhile, the perpetrator was someone known to the survivor in a full 189 cases. AWARE\u2019s Shailey Hingorani also served on the Ministry of Communications and Information\u2019s Sunlight Alliance for Action, focused on closing the digital safety gap and establishing support mechanisms for victims of online harms.<\/p><p>Furthermore, in August we made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aware.org.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/AWAREs-submission-on-Enhancing-Online-Safety-For-Users-in-Singapore-updated-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">submission<\/a> to the Ministry of Communications and Information\u2019s public consultation on the Enhancing Online Safety for Users in Singapore, which proposed measures to improve online safety for Singapore-based users of social media services. Apart from highlighting gaps in the proposed measures for user safety and reporting mechanisms, we made recommendations based on our experiences supporting survivors of TFSV, as well as relevant legislations and bills in countries including Australia and the United Kingdom.<\/p><p>Subsequently, the Online Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill was tabled and passed in Parliament. This Bill included several promising provisions aimed at closing the digital safety gap. In response to the tabling of the Bill, we published a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aware.org.sg\/2022\/10\/online-safety-miscellaneous-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> reiterating some unaddressed recommendations, for example: clarifying take-down processes, requiring social media services to create resource centres for young users and expanding the Bill\u2019s scope of coverage to include SMS services, MMS services and direct messages. We await further developments in 2023.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-57d91fc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"57d91fc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7172ce6\" data-id=\"7172ce6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c36bb2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"c36bb2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Assault\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bc5b01 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-widget-divider--element-align-left bottom-5 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2bc5b01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-bookmark\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0950e4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0950e4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sexual Assault First Responder Training\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97bd616 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97bd616\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In our fourth year of running Sexual Assault First Responder Training (SAFRT) sessions for the public, we attracted 305 participants across nine sessions.
