It saddened us to read about the recent hostile take over of AWARE. TheAsianparent urges all our Singaporean women to stand up for a secular AWARE, one that has worked and will continue working towards the empowerment of women, regardless of race, religion, economic status and sexual orientation.
Please watch the below video and do sign up, turn up and be counted!
If you are still wondering why you should care about the whole AWARE saga and why it’s one cause for all women, think back of the poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller:
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
Then they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
We hope you’re inspired to join one cause for all women and support AWARE!
