Most Malaysians feel that employers in the country are not doing enough to help women to balance work and care responsibilities, a situation which stops women from achieving equality with men, a survey has revealed.
“Meanwhile, 17% of Malaysians surveyed are likely to think that women and men are already equal in the country, compared with an average of 13% globally,” Ipsos said in a statement, released in conjunction with the International Women’s Day which falls this Sunday. Meanwhile, over 36% believed that being confident was an important factor in helping women to succeed, while 30% viewed intelligence and qualification as two key factors that help Malaysian women get ahead and another 29% believed hard work as the key factor.
“Women’s rights are human rights. This often-repeated phrase is a call to action for accelerating gender parity the world over.
