Workshop: The Importance of Understanding Women Workers’ Rights in Malaysia

In observance of the 16 Days of Activism, Persatuan Sahabat Wanita Selangor (PSWS) organized a workshop focused on women workers’ rights. Understanding these rights is essential, as it empowers women to identify and address economic violence a form of harm that is frequently overlooked.

Economic violence for many women workers can manifest in various ways, including unpaid or underpaid wages, unfair deductions, delayed salaries, forced unpaid overtime, or intimidation when asserting their rights.

The workshop employed interactive discussions to create a supportive and engaging environment, enabling participants to learn, share experiences, and strengthen their confidence in advocating for their rights.
