In Her Own Write (IHOW), a 3-day stimulating workshop organised by the AWARE Training Institute, is an intensive writer's workshop that intends to hone one's writing and analytical skills and increase one's understanding of the media and its evolving role in society. Held on 13,14 and 21st July, its guest speakers included leading journalists and media experts. "Learning useful tips on writing effective letters certainly made my participation at the In Her Own Write (IHOW) workshop worthwhile. I also learned about the rights of people in the workplace, stereotypes in the media, what happens in a newsroom among many other things. We even did an enjoyable and creative role play of some problems women face! This is a workshop that brings to light many women's issues, issues I was hardly aware of. I hope there will be another IHOW workshop next year! If you want to learn to write well and be empowered at the same time, attend the next IHOW workshop!"

" Quah Chin Chin Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information Nanyang Technological University "We were provided with so much interesting facts about woman and the media in Singapore that I feel so knowledgeable and empowered." Eng Siok Yee Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information Nanyang Technological University "What I found special about IHOW was its ability to raise legal awareness through presentations of legal matters, such as domestic violence and employment act, which I found to be useful, relevant and highly empowering!" Michelle Chen Simin Communications & New Media Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences National University of Singapore "IHOW has broadened my perspectives on issues surrounding not just women, but men as well. It has galvanised my commitment to creating a better society for all."
