It also intends to work towards the eradication of discrimination against women by empowering women and
through genuine partnership with men, to ensure women’s full and equitable participation in all sectors of society. In line with the National Policy on Women and the call of the State Government towards Competency, Accountability and Transparency, the society networks and engages with relevant government authorities as well as other individuals, organisations and agencies, nationally and internationally, with similar goals. An important part of our governing ethics is to recognise, respect and embrace diversity within our multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society.
