United Women Singapore is a self-funded non-profit organization that advances women's empowerment and gender equality, and builds a pipeline of women leaders and influencers in Singapore. We work towards narrowing the gender equality gap through education and raising awareness and advocacy on issues such as anti-violence and women's empowerment. We raise funds to support projects and organizations, and actively put issues affecting women on the agenda of leaders and organisations that can make a difference.

United Women Singapore has an Institution of Public Character (IPC) status and all donors are able to claim tax relief from their assessable income based on the amount donated, at the prevailing deduction rate.

Our flagship programme Girls2Pioneers, reaches out to girls (in particular, girls from disadvantaged and marginalised backgrounds) to encourage them to take up STEM subjects in their higher education and careers, paving the way for a more gender-equal society.

Since its inception in 2014, over 26,000 girls have participated in our Girls2Pioneers STEM programme. We have hosted field trips for hundreds of girls in collaboration with multi-national companies such as HP, Arup, Becton Dickinson and Intel to give them first-hand exposure into a STEM-related workplace and help them gain a variety of hands-on experience such as building safe homes.

Our Anti-Violence initiatives include GenSafe Workplaces and UWS Boys Empowered. GenSafe Workplaces advocates the important role of private sector organisations in protecting the rights of employees who are victims of domestic violence & abuse (DVA) through webinars and workshops.

Our UWS Boys Empowered empowers and equips boys to safely interrupt or prevent situations of violence against girls and women by advocating for healthy masculinity ideals.

Where will your donations go?
Donations will go towards the running of our Girls2Pioneers STEM programme, Anti-violence Initiatives; UWS Boys Empowered and GenSafe Workplaces and other local projects.

Your support will directly improve outcomes by closing the gender equality gap for women and girls in Singapore and beyond.
