The AWARE Awards is Singapore’s very first award to recognize outstanding achievements in gender equality.

Following a successful launch in 2011, the AWARE Awards will continue to honour individuals with the AWARE Heroine (for a woman), AWARE Hero (for a man), and AWARE Young Wonder (for a young person, of either gender, under 30 years old) categories.

We are also adding a new category, for teams and organisations that promote gender equality: The AWARE Incredibles.

Nominations for the AWARE Awards 2012 close on July 10, so hurry and nominate deserving candidates today. For more details about eligibility, visit here.

In 2011, the AWARE Awards helped to shine a spotlight on a very deserving group of women and men, generating more understanding of and support for their efforts to champion gender equality in Singapore. Find out more about the 2011 AWARE Award winners here.

And don’t forget about the tongue-in-cheek Alamak! Award, which is bestowed on individuals, ads, policies or organisations that are sexist and anti-gender equality. To submit your nominations for this award, click here.

We will once again be unveiling the winners of the AWARE Awards and Alamak! Award at our fundraising gala, the Supersonic Big Ball, on Sept 10. Find out more about this event here.

陈清木冀政府设立独立审查机构 检讨巴蒂一案疏失

前进党秘书长陈清木医生,呼吁政府应设立独立审查机构,以检讨各造在调查和审理前女佣巴蒂一案中出现的疏失。 印尼籍前女佣巴蒂,曾在樟宜机场集团前主席廖文良家中帮佣,然而后者却在2016年10月28日开除巴蒂,两日后再报警指控巴蒂偷走于5万元财物,包括名表、Prada的名牌包和Gucci墨镜等。 巴蒂再去年被国家法院判监禁26个月,惟在本月4日,终高庭推翻判决,沉冤得雪。巴蒂一案近两周来引起国人议论,并关注女佣在整个审讯中处于弱势的地位。高庭法官陈成安判决中,更形容廖家父子报警可能存在“不当意图”,被告有充分理由投诉人力部,而廖家“先下手为强”将他开除。 对于上述案件,陈清木表示国人欣见正义终获伸张,也相信包括总检察署和警方等各造,都会如律政部兼内政部长尚穆根所言,将对调查环节中究竟哪些问题出了错,作出检讨。 他毫不怀疑内政部和总检察署,都将适时地发表检讨报告。然而毕竟内政部等各造并非独立、100巴仙客观的,故此政府理应设立独立审查机构,批判和全面地审查此案中出现疏失的部分,并且提出建议改善。 “适当的问责乃是要我们找出问题根源,且不仅仅是否乃个人认为疏忽引起的,因为找代罪羔羊并无助解决问题。”陈清木指出,比起责怪或开除问题人物,更应该去检视是否有体制上、程序上和问责制衡的疏失。 高庭法官陈成安,在判决中也点出所谓“赃物”移交警局过程存在疑点。包括廖家声称开箱检查女佣留下的三大箱子,并报警后,警方未立即取走证物。由于高庭法官的判词,也针对警方的调查工作,这也致使警方需出面回应此事,表示将展开调查。
