SNOW

State of the Nation’s Women report

This is a new, two-year project to reach out to a wide range of women in Singapore and gather their views on the issues that most affect them. These views, together with other research findings, will be published in 2011 in a report titled The State of the Nation’s Women (SNOW)

In its scope, the SNOW report will be similar to the CEDAW shadow reports that AWARE produces and submits to the United Nations. Like the CEDAW report, the SNOW report will examine the state of Singapore’s women in areas such as employment, health, family, leadership, and media. But a key difference is that the voices of Singapore’s women will feature prominently in the SNOW report.

The SNOW project will be getting underway soon.
