In the late 1970s, a group of women came together to discuss the situation of women workers in the Sungai Way Free Trade Zone. The outcome was the formation of an organisation that would be committed to the concerns and interest of women workers as well as to the larger issues of democracy, justice and equality in Malaysian society.
