THE Women’s Centre for Change, Penang (WCC) is heartened to read of the Government’s commitment to end discrimination against women, which it made at the recent Non-Aligned Movement Ministerial Meeting on the Advancement of Women.
We now have the Putrajaya Declaration, which bears similar sentiments to the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action and the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, which Malaysia ratified in 1995, albeit with reservations.
