AWARE Centre

AWARE Centre is Singapore's leading advocacy organisation for gender equality and women's rights, combining frontline support services with policy work and public education. The organisation provides specialist services for survivors of sexual assault and family violence, operates a women’s helpline and legal clinic, and undertakes research that informs policy reform across multiple areas affecting women and families.

The organisation has built a strong reputation for evidence-based advocacy and long-term impact on legislation and public policy, including submissions to international human-rights fora and contributions to domestic legal reform. AWARE is recognised for its research publications, public campaigns and ability to influence employer and government practice on caregiving, workplace discrimination and violence against women.

AWARE’s client service approach is trauma-informed, confidential and practical, focusing on immediate safety, emotional support and clear pathways to legal and social resources. Its programmes emphasise accessible information, referrals and capacity-building through trainings and workshops for employers, schools and community groups to prevent harm and strengthen protections for vulnerable individuals.
