Celebrating Sarawak's Women Day 2025 on modest scale

This year’s Women Day celebration in Sarawak was held on a modest scale and it was launched by our right honourable Premier of Sarawak, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Abang Haji Openg who was joined by over 4,500 guests who attended the ceremony held at the Banquet Hall of State Legislative Assembly Building at Petra Jaya in Kuching. 

During the launching ceremony, our Premier had announced that Sarawak will be the first state in Malaysia to set up a diversity, equality and inclusivity unit known as “D2EI” in short for Department of Diversity, Equality, Equity and Inclusivity under the state’s Department of Women and Family Development. Our Premier had mentioned that the D2EI principles are in line with his administration’s post-Covid-19 development strategy, which emphasises inclusivity in our multi-racial communities.


Among the highlights in this year’s celebration had included the Premier of Sarawak Awards that had acknowledged the recipients for their commitment to inclusive leadership and gender equity in the workplace. Sarawak Energy Berhad had received the Special D2EI Responsive Organisation Award its leadership in fostering diversity, equality, equity and inclusivity through their Sarawak Energy Leading Women Network (SELWN), which supports women’s advancement into leadership and decision-making roles.
