Sarawak Women for Women Society (SWWS)

Sarawak Women for Women Society (SWWS) recently held a forum entitled ‘When Relationships Go Sour’ to highlight common problems and consider what changes are needed.

Sarawak Women for Women Society (SWWS) dreams of the day when women and girls are free from abuse in all its forms. Although there has been progress since the passing of the Domestic Violence Act and the Child Act there is still a long way to go.

The Sarawak Women for Women Society (SWWS) welcomes the government’s target of 59 percent of women in the workforce by 2020 as stated by the prime minister at the UN this week. Currently women’s participation is at 54 percent. Gaining employment is a crucial step but so is ensuring that these jobs are accessible and give adequate pay.
