 :: HIGHLIGHTS
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2010
International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world on 8 March. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. It is an occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women. The theme for 2010 is "Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all."

The main thrust of KANITA is to achieve excellence in the field of research on women and gender in the development process. KANITA  is a research centre set up by the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). While our associates comprise mainly of full-time academic staff of USM, KANITA also welcomes the participation of a large number of concerned scholars and social activists who are not necessarily university-based into its activities. KANITA is also committed to offering high quality graduate studies in the field of gender studies. It welcomes all enquiries and suitably qualified applicants into its graduate programme. This website will strive to provide most of the information on the centre, its work, profile of associates, requirements for graduate applications, publications, research notes, and seminar series, talks and discussions that are  held under the centre’s auspices.
