Whereas their visions are to promote and create respect, protection and fulfillment of equal rights for women and to work towards the elimination of discrimination against women, and to bring about equality between women and men.

It aspires to create a new generation of Malaysia leaders, thinkers and mentors. All this combined the foundation visualizes a true Bangsa Malaysia society in the future.

What is the future narrative of this country? We seem to be constantly fighting over our past, and bickering about the present with little thought invested in imagining out future.

[HUO7] Students Workshops #9: Women's Rights

 

Women's Rights

“There are two kinds of moral law, two kinds of conscience, one in men and a quite different one in women. They do not understand each other; but in matters practical living a woman is judged by the men’s law, as if she were not a woman but a man.
A woman cannot be herself in present day society, which is an exclusively male society with laws written by men, and prosecutor and judges who judge female behaviour from the male point of view” .

By: Rebecca Ho
