THE MANIFESTO OF THE WCI

  • To promote an awareness in all Malaysians, but especially women, of their rights and power in a democratic process of elections and parliamentary representation.
  • To promote a minimum of 30% participation of women at all levels of political and policy-making processes.
  • To promote all causes of justice and democracy; and to incorporate the views, aspirations and participation of women in this process.
  • To work towards the abolition of the use of physical force or any form of violence by state institutions against all Malaysians, but especially the most vulnerable - women and children - in any and all situations.
  • To work towards repealing all oppressive laws which curtail the democratic rights of Malaysians, as well as revising all policies and laws which discriminate against or impact unfairly against women, including those of the Syariah Court system.
  • To work towards provisions that would ensure people are never forcefully evicted from their land or homes under any circumstances; and that alternative, quality housing and alternative land is provided to those who are deliberately relocated from their homes as a result of developmentment for public interest.
  • To ensure that all development programmes are consultative and people- centred, and by "people", we mean all those who are directly affected by these development programmes.
  • To ensure that all decision-making and all business conducted by the government and its institutions are processes open to public scrutiny. To ensure also that the government and its institutions accept responsibility and are accountable for these decisions and their results. To ensure that local council elections are reinstated.
  • To ensure the just and equitable distribution of wealth of the nation so that it is not concentrated in the hands of a few but instead enjoyed by all Malaysians; to ensure also that women are involved in the process of decision-making in the distribution of national wealth and resources.
  • To ensure a safe, comfortable and quality standard of living for all, with the most vulnerable groups - especially single mothers, the elderly, children and the disabled - in mind. To ensure that the basic social services needs of all are met.
