The Women's Charter
Manage episode 281750148 series 2422556
With the government's announcement that a review on women’s issues in Singapore will be conducted to look more closely at how gender equality can be more deeply ingrained in Singapore society, we thought to explore the evolution of gender issues in Singapore. The Women's Charter provides a central lens for such an exploration, tracing its origins to pre-independent Singapore and being the platform for debates such as whether men should be entitled to maintenance after divorce or whether NS should extend to women.
Join Margaret Thomas, President of AWARE, as she banters with Rovik on some of these sticky issues, and provide your own take by commenting on our FB Page or our Instagram. What else needs to be done for gender issues in Singapore?
