International Women's Day

The photo shows Maria Chin Abdullah, Tan Seng Giaw and Wan Azizah discussing the problems faced by women such as domestic violence and rapes. In 2012, there were 3488 cases of domestic violence and 2988 cases of rapes. For every case of rape, there may be 9 cases unreported. The actual number of cases of domestic violence and rapes may be in tens of thousands a year. We have to step up measures to deal with these in all aspects.
