PRISMANITA and Women’s Well-being Advocacy Programme @ Domestic Violence (AKU WANITA@KRT) Perak 2026
Ms Chelsea Yeap and Dr Gayaathiri, representatives from PWW, attended the above programme @ Domestic Violence (AKU WANITA@KRT) Perak 2026, organised by the Perak State Women’s Development Office (PPWN Perak). The programme was held at the Banquet Hall, Ground Floor, Perak State Secretariat Building (SUK Perak) from 8.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
The event was attended by approximately 400 participants, comprising representatives from government agencies, NGOs, institutions of higher learning, and members of the public. The programme was officially launched by YB Dato’ Salbiah Binti Mohamed, Perak State Exco of Women’s Development, Family, Social Welfare, Entrepreneur Development and Cooperative Committee.
The primary objective of the programme was to raise public awareness on preventing all forms of violence against women, particularly domestic violence. It also aimed to empower women with the confidence and knowledge to report abuse, seek justice, and inspire other survivors to come forward.
The programme featured several informative sessions, including an introduction to violence against women, a sharing session titled “Let’s Be Brave to Report”, and exhibition booths by various government agencies, organisations, and women entrepreneurs. These activities provided participants with valuable information on available support services, legal protection, and community resources for survivors of domestic violence.
The programme successfully highlighted the importance of collaboration among government agencies, non-governmental organisations, and the community in addressing domestic violence and promoting women’s safety and well-being.
It was a learning experience for these two members and they appreciate the opportunity to participate in this meaningful programme. PWW looks forward to strengthening future collaborations with relevant stakeholders to continue advocating for the rights, protection, and empowerment of women in Perak
