This year, Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) commemorates 40 years of helping women survivors of domestic violence and their children, as well as those who have gone through other forms of gender-based violence such as sexual harassment, rape and bullying.

WAO's 40th anniversary celebrations will comprise a series of online talks and physical events to showcase the work the women's NGO has done. There will be a coffee table book - 40 Inspiring Women - on individuals who have made a positive impact on society. These include unsung heroes such as WAO's residents and former residents, volunteers and others in society such as businesswomen who have broken the glass ceiling and contributed to the nation.
