Hot off the press! The White Paper on Singapore Women’s Development has been published. Singapore women have made great progress over the years but we can do more and we want to continue to support women and men partnering each other as equals, for both to pursue their aspirations freely and to the fullest. Feedback from nearly 6,000 Singaporeans through 160 conversations helped to shape the White Paper, which sets out the Government’s action plans in the following key areas – equality in the workplace, equality in family and in society, and protection of women against violence and harm. Swipe the images to learn more. Let’s continue working together to make Singapore a fairer and more inclusive society for future generations.
