網紅的藏寶箱Young girls in Singapore today grow up in a world that their grandmothers could not have imagined when they themselves were children. Women’s standing in Singapore has improved greatly. But we still need to make more progress in the way men and women treat each other, and the sort of society we want to be. That was why we launched the Conversations on Singapore Women’s Development last year.
This morning, I met virtually with some of the partners and participants involved in this major undertaking, at the closing session of the Conversations.
I talked about three issues which came up repeatedly: equal opportunities at the workplace, caregiver support, and protection for women. They reflect our fundamental values of taking care of one another in society, giving every individual a fair shot at success, and ensuring everyone receives equal protection in Singapore.
All of us must play our part, to enable Singapore women to participate to the full. Together, let us work towards our vision of a fairer, more inclusive society, where our daughters and sons can thrive in a better age.
