OUR RESEARCH
We prioritise evidence-based work, and our team is committed to community service, particularly in areas that address women’s inequity (lack of fairness or justice) in all aspects of their lives. Which is why, we want to use our research findings to elucidate on such inequities and empower Herwellbeing Society Kuala Lumpur and Selangor (HWSKLS) members to help us reach this goal together. We want to achieve this through seeking prospective funds to assist us in launching creative research initiatives that solve an unmet need, as well as developing promising researchers into leaders or advocates for the promotion of women’s wellbeing. Join us in our community research projects; you can be a participant of the research projects that we embark on, or you could volunteer for us.
