Here’s a good thing you need to know: 40 years ago, a number of activists and champions for women’s rights decided that serious social problems faced by women, such as rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment, and the negative portrayal of women in the media, could no longer be hidden in the shadows. With this historic step, the All Women’s Action Society (AWAM) was formed, along with other women’s rights organisations. We speak to Ho Yock Lin, President of AWAM, to take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of key achievements in women’s rights that AWAM has contributed to.
