Daniel & Wong Supports ATC OWLs Women’s Equality Day Online Essay Contest
We are proud to support the Women’s Equality Day Online Essay Contest, organised by the Organisation of Women Law Students from Advance Tertiary College, in collaboration with Women’s Aid Organisation.
This contest invites students to explore pressing issues, such as domestic violence, harassment, systemic inequalities, and the role of youth in driving positive change. At Daniel & Wong, we believe youth voices and dialogue are vital in shaping a safer, more equal future for women.
Fun fact: The trailblazing B.H. Oon (Lim Beng Hong) became Malaysia’s first female lawyer and played an instrumental role in amending the law that finally allowed women to practise at the Malayan Bar in 1935.
