Singapore Council of Women's Organisation (SCWO)

The Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO) is the national coordinating body for women’s organisations in Singapore. With more than 60 member organisations representing over 600,000 women, we work collectively to promote the ideals of “Equal Space, Equal Voice, and Equal Worth” for women nationwide. 

While Singapore has made significant progress in advancing women’s rights, gender disparities still exist. Women still disproportionately take on caregiving responsibilities, experience workplace discrimination and pay inequalities, and are often more affected by various forms of violence. 

SCWO and its member organisations are dedicated to closing these gaps and fostering a society where women and men have equal opportunities—in homes, workplaces, communities, and leadership roles. 

Key programmes, such as Star Shelter, provide temporary refuge for women and children who have experienced family violence. The Maintenance Support Central (MSC) offers advice and support to women struggling to secure the financial assistance they are entitled to.
