NEWS & VIEWS

 

Introducing the AWARE Awards

Do you know someone who has excelled in an industry typically dominated by the opposite sex? Can you name someone who has made it easier for men and women to break free from gender stereotypes? Is there someone you know who has been working tirelessly to make women’s lives better?

We want to know who they are. Find out how to nominate people for the inaugural AWARE Awards here.

 

Faith and gender roles

The role women play within different faiths is one of the most urgent issues facing the world today. Find out AWARE's take on the plans to set up the Obedient Wives Club in Singapore here.
