It's not an award to crow about.
But Hougang grassroots adviser Desmond Choo looks set to clinch
what is believed to be the country's first sexism award, in
'honour' of a person or organisation that has done the greatest
disservice to gender equality.
The award is the tongue-in-cheek brainchild of the Association
of Women for Action and Research (Aware), which will dish it out on
Oct 17 during its fundraising dinner at the Grand Hyatt Hotel to
celebrate its 26th anniversary.
The women's advocacy group will give three other awards to
recognise those who have promoted gender equality causes. The
sexism award, called the Alamak Award, has five nominees.
Nominations were made by the public on Aware's website over a
six-week period that started last month.
