I work with children as my profession. It’s very heartbreaking for me to see them being deprived of a wholesome and nurturing childhood - which plays a role in their character formation.A confident adult comes from a safe, secure and loving childhood. We can’t right the wrong, but we can at least reduce its negative impact.

This year, birthday celebrations are different altogether due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For my 20th birthday (October 6th), I have decided to set up a fundraiser page for one of the groups of the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality. The Women's Aid Organisation/Pertubuhan Pertolangan Wanita advocates for gender equality and the protection of women against domestic violence. I am a strong supporter of WAO's advocacy towards changing the education system to promote gender equality. This past summer, I had a particularly bad experience being discriminated against. The most baffling thing was that everyone else had accepted this behaviour as a 'norm', but I refuse to. It made me realise that gender discrimination has seeped itself into every aspect of life, from home to the workplace to our educational institutions. It is integrated into the backbones of our society, and it will take a massive effort to remove its roots from our institutions.Supporting these organisations will not erase inequality overnight, but I hope that this fundraiser brings awareness to the organisations that challenge the deeply rooted discrimination that exists in our society. I am fortunate that I can publicly declare my support for these organisations on an online platform without any backlash. Think about the victims suffering quietly because they are intimidated by their partners, families and friends to speak out. But I shouldn't say that I'm fortunate for not having been a victim of domestic violence. I cannot be fortunate when it is a human right to be treated with equal worth and respect, of which we all should be entitled to. By supporting WAO, we can support them.Any form of support, whether through donations or sharing this on your social media, would truly make this the best birthday celebration I could ever receive.
