About This Cause
If you require tax deduction from us, please leave your NRIC/FIN in the comments of your donation or you can email it to fundraising@aware.org.sg. AWARE is Singapore’s leading gender equality advocacy group. AWARE believes in the rights of women and men to make informed and responsible choices about their lives and to have equal opportunities in education, marriage and employment, and in the right of women to control their own bodies, particularly with regard to sexual and reproductive rights. AWARE is dedicated to removing gender-based barriers. These barriers apply to both women and men, but because of the way human society has evolved, it is women who are more likely to come up against these barriers. These barriers, whether structural, attitudinal, or self-imposed, prevent individuals in Singapore from developing their potential to the fullest and realising their personal visions and hopes. AWARE works to identify and eliminate these barriers through research and advocacy, education and training and support services. Since its formation in 1985, AWARE has carried out research into numerous issues affecting women, including workplace sexual harassment, poverty of older women and Singapore’s compliance with UN anti-gender discrimination standards. AWARE provides a feminist perspective in the national dialogue. It has effectively advocated against laws, public policies and mindsets that discriminate against women. AWARE has contributed towards the strengthening of laws dealing with domestic violence. Catalyse Consulting, the corporate training division of AWARE, inspires diverse and inclusive workplaces for people to maximise their full potential, through customised workshops and private consultation. AWARE’s Support Services provides crisis counselling, assistance in dealing with the authorities, and legal advice to women in need. AWARE is a not-for-profit organisation. We are funded by donations, grants, and member subscriptions. We are a registered charity with Institute of Public Character status, so all donations to AWARE are tax-deductible.
