As we are nearing to the establishment of the ASEAN Community by the end of this year, the Conference strives to build a political network for ASEAN women who are involved in politics as well as urging for greater participation of women in decision making positions and in the electoral processes through connectivity and innovation.

wow powerful conference. this is so great that it was held in KL, hope it was an empowering time for all the participants.
ReplyDeleteIsaac Tan stand for Asean Conference on Women ;) great !
ReplyDeleteNot really interested in politics... But it's great for women whom are interested in..
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. An eye opener and women in politics is going to be in new era
ReplyDeleteInspire others. What a nice slogan. This is a great topic for women.
ReplyDeleteWomen should be involved more in politics. I saw a post from ELLE, where they photoshopped men out of pictures taken in world-level conferences and it's just sad. Minus men, there are only one or two women at most. Not to say women aren't as qualified in these organizations as men, it could be just because women simply prioritize other things in life. But for those who are interested to pursue these careers, they sometimes don't get enough opportunities or get their big break. It's awesome to see such an empowering event happening in KL. I hope some good came out of it.
ReplyDeleteWoah, this is empowering especially for women who are into politics :D
ReplyDeleteSorry its a bit late. I missed out on your blog.
