Singapore?

Ms. YU-FOO YEE SHOON (SlNGAPORE):

Ms. Chairperson, I would like to congratulate the working committee, which worked very hard to make this resolution. I would like to comment in two areas.

One is the objective of this resolution. As you know, ultimately, what we want to in-fringe on the parliaments, especially the male parliamentarians, is to be involved more actively to promote this. Whether we like it or not, the majority of them are still men. Maybe, we can make it more balanced in the sense that, Like on page I : What is the objective?

Is the ultimate objective just to enhance women's status? Or is it for the betterment of the quality of life of mankind, better family life and all these? This is, maybe, something that needs to be emphasized.

RAPPORTEUR GENERAL (HON. NAFSIAH MBOI) :

Could you be more specific, please? What page is that?

Ms. YU-FOO YEE SHOON (SlNGAPORE):

On page I . What I want to ask is, what is the objective of this Resolution to make it clearer? Is it just to enhance the women's status or to promote the quality of life for mankind? Let us make it easier for us to tell it to men.

Then on page 3 , about Women and Health. On the second paragraph, we talk about girls. What about educating the boys and men also? If boys and men know the sexual issue better, if they have correct sexual behavior, I think they will impose less problems on girls and women.

And the other question is on third paragraph. It says here: "Furthermore, we express concern at women's continuing recourse to unsafe abortion." I think this is a very sensitive issue. Different countries have different religions and different laws. So, you note about this problem, but did not really give a concrete suggestion on how to help the women out of this situation.
