United Women Singapore

Last Saturday, our UWS STEM FEST was bustling with the spirit of inquisitivity and good vibes! 😍 We’re proud to share that we had close to 800 participants join us, with over 300 young women filling the rooms of our 8 STEM Workshops and receiving mentorship from our 78 speed mentors from our corporate partners. There were over 200 corporate and university partners at our 18 interactive booths and workshops who had spent the afternoon generously #STEMpowering not only these young women, but also over 100 parents, teachers and public who dropped by! 💪 Ms Sun Xueling, Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs & Ministry of Social and Family Development graced our festival with an intimate engagement with students from our STEM Programmes. To kick off the afternoon of discovery, Ms Sun shared an insightful keynote speech, highlighting the ways in which the Singapore government works towards achieving gender equality. With her encouraging and exuberant spirit, she wished our students well: “To the young innovators here today, I encourage you to seize every opportunity, embrace your curiosity, and never stop learning. The future is yours to create!” 💭 UWS STEM Fest would not have been a success without all the support from our partners, educators, and the public! 🙌 Shout-out to our Venue Partner Marina Bay Sands for hosting us to incubate new STEM beginnings with us!

#UWSCares at the Same-Same Festival! At our booth, we had a fantastic time raising awareness about our mission and the work we do to achieve gender equality through our various programmes. We also highlighted the diverse volunteering opportunities we offer, connecting with so many passionate individuals. Big thanks to How Are You (haywecare) for organising this amazing event; your dedication and hard work made it a truly memorable day for all! Thank you everyone who visited and showed your support to the wider community of "doing good"!

Today is Women’s Equality Day! 💜 But what does that really mean? Swipe to get a glimpse of what #GenderEquality currently looks like in today’s Singapore. While Singapore has made strides toward gender equality, challenges remain and there’s still work to be done. Gender equality isn't just about the numbers —it's about creating a culture of equality, including women empowerment and positive masculinity that starts at home and extends to every corner of our community. 🚀 At United Women Singapore, we’re committed to championing equal opportunities, positive masculinity and allyship, and a culture that values women’s contributions across all industries, especially in STEM. The journey to equality requires all of us to take action. We need to shift perceptions, break down barriers, and ensure that both women and men are empowered to advocate for change. 💬 Let’s create a world where everyone can thrive, regardless of gender. Update: We apologise for the typo error on slide 2, it should read: "We are 8th in the world for having a low level of gender *inequality*." #WomensEqualityDay #UWSCares #GenderEqualitySG #WomenInSTEM #BreakTheBias #UpliftWomen #STEMpowering

Last Friday, we wrapped up an enlightening visit to Standard Chartered Singapore Bank, a global leader in banking and tech. 💼💻 The world of banking is a big and diverse landscape, so this was an incredible opportunity for our STEM Programme girls to get a glimpse of what careers in this industry may look like. They gained exclusive insights, through a career sharing segment, speed mentoring with esteemed mentors and an exciting hackathon. The girls left inspired and equipped with valuable knowledge for their future tech careers in banking. Thank you to the amazing team at Standard Chartered Bank for hosting such an insightful and engaging session! 🌟 Geetika Mathur, Shweta Sundararajan, Senthilkannan Balasubramanian, Juliana Lim, Manjeet Kaur

Here at UWS, our work shares a similar mission with GGS. That being: enabling girls and young women to develop their fullest potential as responsible citizens of the world. Thus, we are proud to announce that we were awarded the Thanks Plaque in recognition of our collaboration and efforts over the past year to bring STEM to girls from the formative years of primary school and up! Looking forward to more #STEMPowering activities with GGS!
