THE World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020 revealed that gender parity will not be attained for 99.5 years.

While women in Malaysia excel in education and healthcare, they continue to lag behind men in economic and political participation. Despite women comprising seven in 10 of our frontliners, for every RM100 in salaries and wages received by men, women only receive RM94.07.
