PETALING JAYA: More communication is needed among people and the participation of men is required to ensure matters involving gender equality gap are addressed progressively.
Women's Aid Organisation executive director Sumitra Visvanathan said the recognition that women have the right to equality should be stemmed within society, and this can be achieved through conversations.
“The visibility of equality is important; we need to get to a stage where we normalise seeing women in top positions. So how do we get to that when we see it normalised and it is a common occurrence,” she said. Sumitra said this at the WAO forum on building gender equal workforce held in conjunction with the WAO Fest 2022.
“Indeed, having more conversation is important but it should not just be lip service and having men look at it as a trend.
