“Her Times Women Empowerment Award” (WEA) was inaugurated by Her Times, an arm of the Fortune Times Group, with the support of the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore on the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Indonesia in 2017.

The commitment remains to empower women to become valuable contributors to sustainable economic growth, political stability, and the building of harmonious societies.
