: Assistance for women, especially to empower their economy through business, will be given in a targeted manner to ensure that it benefits the group involved, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy ShukriShe said women had benefitted a lot from aid provided by the government through the e-Kasih system, especially for purchase of equipment to start their businesses.
“So we have to be selective in terms of providing assistance because the effort to empower the economy is not only by providing assistance with business equipment, but to give support to them in terms of knowledge, skills and education as well. Meanwhile, Nancy described as a progressive and positive signal for women with the increase in the number of female candidates who won in GE15 and were appointed to the Cabinet.
“These are vital strategic positions for issues such as keeping girls in school, providing women and family healthcare and support systems or getting the younger generation involved in activism and volunteerism,” she said.
