Why? Because women are paid 14% less than men. Why this happen?<br /> Because 99% of people working in the home are women, 62% of lone parents are<br /> unemployed, lack of affordable and accessible childe are being a major reason.<br /> Half of our older women live on low incomes.<br /><br /> Assalamualaikum and very good afternoon to our beloved lecturer Associate<br /> Professor Hj Sa’aban bin Hj Salim and to all my friends. Today I’m going to<br /> inform you about women strategic plan 2006-2008. It is a plan develop under<br /> women, family and community development. So, I should share some information<br /> about this plan with all of you not only those girls but also for guys, so<br /> that you will understand what this plan want to achieve.<br /><br /> To be more clears and understand about this plan, let me tell you about<br /> definition of labour women. Labour women will be defined that in 1971 by party<br /> women members who recognized that women were underrepresented in positions of<br /> leadership and influence within the labour party as elsewhere in political,<br /> economic, and cultural life of the country.<br /><br />1.5 <strong>BODY</strong> <br /> On this plan, I will focus on two issues about women poverty and violence<br /> against women; tackling and highlighting women’s poverty and violence against<br /> women.<br /><br />1.5.1 <strong>TACKLING AND HIGHLIGHTING WOMEN’S POVERTY</strong> <br /> Poverty is a one of the world wealthiest countries is unacceptable and poverty<br /> is a violence of people’s fundamental human rights. In Malaysia, the incidence<br /> of absolute poverty has traditionally been determined by reference to a<br /> threshold poverty line income (PLI). This PLI is estimated based on what is<br /> considered to be the minimum consumption requirements of a household for food,<br /> clothing and other non-food items, such as rent, fuel and power. Tackling<br /> poverty in all its manifestation Labour Women also recognize that the issues<br /> of gender and poverty intersect to exclude many women from full and equal<br /> participation in society. In around 2004, 23% risk of falling below the<br /> poverty line and this risk rises to almost 50% for lone mothers (UN<br /> Development Report 2004). Child poverty is widespread. Labour Women is<br /> committed to campaigning and working with other groups and organizations to<br /> remove poverty traps that particularly affect women and ensuring that Labour<br /> Party policy tackle the dimensions of poverty that specifically impact on<br /> women.<br /><br />1.5.2. <strong>VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN</strong><br /> All forms of violence against women is a gross violation removes of women’s<br /> human right and key causes of women’s marginalization and subordination.<br /> Domestic violence such as rape, trafficking, prostitution and pornography<br /> interact to maintain the subordination of women. Women’s organizations<br /> providing support services to women who have experienced any or all kind of<br /> violence are grossly under funded. There is a huge gap between the refuges<br /> spaces available for women and children fleeing violence in their homes and<br /> the numbers of women and children requiring such space. In past decade or so<br /> one hundred and eleven women in world have been murdered by men which many of<br /> them by their partner or former partner. Trafficking in women and children is<br /> the cornerstone of the international pornography industry and is happening<br /> here in world and is going unchallenged. The sexual abuse of women is<br /> presented as an acceptable part of a leisure and entertainment industry.<br /><br />1.6 <strong>CONCLUSION</strong> <br /> In the nutshell, this is the fist strategic plan developed by women labour.<br /> It communicates the commitment of women labour to working as an integral <br /> dimension of the Labour Party to achieving the vision of the Fair Society and<br /> to achieving equality for women across the political, economic, cultural and<br /> affective spheres of life and society.<br /><br />1.7 <strong>REFERENCES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY</strong> <br /> 1.7.1 Sarah Renner.
