Congratulations to all our WEC National Day Award Recipients 2011
 |
When the WECs (formerly known as Women's Sub-Committees) were first formed in 1967, their main role was to draw women out of their home, through activities and life-skills courses such as sewing and cooking which gave them basic employment skills. The social activities and programmes organized by the WECs also gave them the confidence to step out of their homes. Encouraging participation of women in social activities and in public affairs at community level also helped to raise the status of women. 当妇女执行委员会（前身为妇女小组）于1967年成立时，其首要任务是透过活动与生活技能课程鼓励妇女走出家门。当时的活动与课程包括缝纫班、烹饪班等。这些课程为妇女们提供了基本的受雇技能。此外，妇女执行委员会所举办的社交活动与项目也加强了妇女们走出家门的信心。而鼓励妇女参与社区水平的社交活动与公共事务也有助于提高妇女的地位。 |
