Course Description
Malaysia has made significant strides towards women’s empowerment, particularly in education and employment.

The Malaysian Government has implemented various policies and initiatives to support women’s empowerment, including the National Policy on Women and the Malaysian National Plan of Action for the Advancement of Women.
In light of these advancements, we invite you to join us for an engaging and transformative event that will highlight the progress, challenges, and opportunities for women’s empowerment in Malaysia.
