February 20th, 2007. Yes. The date is set for us to be heard out in the Kuala Lumpur Industrial courts! Beatrice Fernandez had her day but lost her case in the Federal Courts. Sheela N Devi had hers and she was deemed rightfully terminated. And how will this turn out?
Read here, here and here to the lead up of Audra Atkinson's upcoming case.
Perhaps its the right time to note that women do actually have rights.(here & here)
So let's see...in the meantime, we do hope that you are telling your friends about this severe injustice to Beatrice, Sheela and Audra.
Don't turn a blind eye!

Gender Discrimination Survey - Your thoughts?
http://www.my3q.com/home2/134/muststopthis/96934.phtml
Having told many people about our case, the response was almost always sympathetic.
The thing is, if you have not gone through this, what is your take on it?
OK, a simle survey is highlighted above, and would appreciate if you can spend 3 minutes to complete it! Here is your chance to share your views.
Thanking June Tan for her link to this site, and her survey is largely why we are having this Q&A. So thanks again June....
Thanks for your 'Social responsible time'!

CEDAW - Malaysia's part - Did you know?
On 5th July 1995, Malaysia reaffirmed its commitment to provide certain basic human rights to women by acceding to the Convention. Prior to that Malaysia had made reservations with respect to and does not consider itself bound by provisions of certain articles, which included the rights of women relating to marriage and family relations.
The governments that have ratified to the Women's Convention are required to submit a report to the CEDAW Committee within a year of becoming State parties and thereafter, submit a report every 4 years.
A comprehensive review of women's situation in the country and the identification of obstacles to the full protection and promotion of women's rights are given in the initial report to the Committee. The subsequent progress reports elaborate on the interventions made, in progress or planned, and identify the difficulties that continue to inhibit women's enjoyment of their guaranteed rights and freedoms.
Malaysia has ratified to the Convention 5 years ago but the initial report has not yet been submitted to the Committee.
____________________________________________________________________
What does this mean? In our efforts to achieve Vision 2020, CEDAW is very much involved.
Seeing that the population in Malaysia, whereby there are 4 women to every 7 men, just imagine a severely lopsided policy favouring the masculine sex!
Read this if you are unawares, and then make up your own mind.
