IPS Women’s Conference 2021 - Gender Equality in Singapore: An Action Plan for Progress

As Singapore embarks on a review of women’s issues in a move towards greater gender equality, the IPS Women’s Conference will bring together thought leaders, academics, activists, and community leaders to discuss the challenges Singaporean women face in a changing world.

The pandemic has led to dramatic changes in the lives of Singaporeans, potentially creating a “new normal” in how we function at work, at home, and in society. These changes have the potential to transform the lives of women and girls, offering them the opportunity to overcome traditional obstacles that have limited their social and economic advancement. But it also carries the risk of perpetuating — or even exacerbating — existing gender disparities across multiple domains.

The aim of the conference is to navigate the issues of gender imbalance and identify best practices for policy action to build a gender inclusive society.

The one-day forum will feature an opening address, three moderated panel discussions: (1) Equal Work, Equal Pay; (2) Home is Where the Work is; and (3) Mindsets and Minefields, and a closing dialogue.
