Dialog Suara Wanita Daerah Timur Laut , Pulau Pinang [Bahasa Malaysia activity]
May/Mei 2013
Admission/Kemasukan : FREE/ PERCUMA
Satu ciri utama sesebuah sistem demokrasi ialah penyertaan rakyat yang penuh dan bermakna dalam menyuarakan pandangan tentang isu-isu yang mempunyai impak ke atas kehidupan seharian merekan.
Adalah penting supaya suara rakyat biasa, khususnya di peringkat akar umbi atau grassroots,diambil kira dalam setiap peringkat proses pengambilan keputusan (decision-making), mahupun di peringkat yang tertinggi, demi memastikan bahawa dasar-dasar yang dibuat oleh kerajaan atau pihak berkuasa tempatan mencerminkan realiti sosial komuniti setemat supaya penyelesaian yang strategik, efektif dan praktikal dapat dicapai. Wanita yang merupakan surirumah, ibu tunggal atau peniaga kecil di kampung tidak kurang penting suaranya mahupun haknya sebagai rakyat dan warganegara yang mampu dan bertanggungjawab untuk menyumbang kepada pembinaan negara dan masyarakat yang maju.
Dengan perspektif demikian, PWDC dengan kerjasama beberapa organisasi tempatan akan menganjurkan sebuah Dialog Suara Wanita Daerah Timur Laut.
Kami mendukung usaha kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang dalam meningkatkan penyertaan wanita dalam semua bentuk pembangunan dari segi politik, ekonomi mahupun sosial.

TALK: "INTRODUCTION TO DUE DILIGENCE & STATE COMPLIANCE TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN" AND OPEN DISCUSSION ON ITS APPLICATION TO PENANG
A talk by Ms Zarizana Abdul Aziz.
Friday, 5th April 2013
Venue: Training Room, Women's Centre for Change (WCC Building), No. 241 Jala Burma, 10350, Penang
Time: 3.00 pm - 5.30 pm
Admission: FREE
Organized by PWDC in collaboration with the Due Diligence Project (www.duediligenceproject.org)
'Due Diligence' is an important international principle and in the context of violence against women (VAW), denotes the State's obligation to take reasonable action to prevent, protect against, prosecute, punish and provide redress for VAW. Malaysia, as a State Party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has clear-cut legal and moral-obligations to address the issue of VAW at all levels of the public and private sphere.
Registration and participation in the Talk was by invitation only and was free of charge. Priority was given to those with a strong track record and/or experience working on VAW and other women’s issues.
