FOREWORD
D
ear Supporters,
The Singapore Committee for UN
Women was established as UNIFEM
Singapore in 1999. We are a completely
self-funded, not-for-profit entity, deriving
no funding from regional or global
head offices of the United Nations
or UN Women. Instead, as a National
Committee, it is through our own
fundraising efforts in Singapore that
we have been able to support programs around the region from Aceh
to Cambodia, from Thailand to Nepal.
And closer to home – Singapore and
Bintan.
2012 was a highly rewarding year
for the Singapore Committee for UN
Women. We are humbled and inspired
by the generosity and kindness of our
supporters. Funds raised at SNOW
2012 benefited 2000 women bamboo
weavers and their families in Kampong
Chhnang, Cambodia and lit a new
flame for women in underserved slums
in India supported by the work of the
Navjyoti foundation. Support provided
through SNOW also helps us run our
public education campaigns that
empower women and inspire youth
towards gender equality and freedom from abuse in Singapore. These
education campaigns continue to have
on-going positive impact beyond our
borders and present year.
Funds raised this year at SNOW will
help over 9000 Karenni survivors of
violence through the UN Trust Fund
to End Violence against Women and
International Rescue Committee.
These women living in the Ban Mai Nai
Soi and Ban Mae Surin refugee camps
along the Thailand-Myanmar border
will gain access to high quality care
from community based help centres,
allowing them to heal quickly and
safely.
All this would not have been possible
without YOUR help and unwavering
support, the strategic guidance of
our generous private, corporate and
academic sponsors, our volunteers
investing their heart and time, our
supporters in promoting women’s empowerment, our friends in diplomacy,
government and academia, as well as
our advisors. It is really because of YOU
that we can continue our mission and
grow as an organization of passionate,
cause-driven people focused on the
rights and empowerment of women
and girls in the region.
We also extend our humble appreciation to our young and dedicated small
team of interns and volunteers, a mini
United Nations in diversity of composition, who have worked day and night
to carry out our mission.
We are looking forward to what the
future will bring in our work towards
promoting gender equality and
empowering women. Your generosity
and support at SNOW 2013 will allow
us to continue our important work in
Singapore and the region.
With much gratitude,
The Executive Committee and

ABOUT
THE SINGAPORE
COMMITTEE
FOR UN WOMEN
Day Off Campaign
• In conjunction with local NGOs TWC2 and HOME our National
Committee has campaigned since 2008 to urge employers to
give their domestic worker a regular rest day off.
•2 012 was a landmark year for our campaign, with the Ministry of Manpower mandating a mandatory day off per week
for foreign domestic workers (FDWs) receiving or renewing
their work permit after 1 Jan 2013, impacting the lives of
2,08,400 FDWs in Singapore.
• However, research has shown that there is still a long way to
go in convincing employers to implement the act and we will
continue to focus on this issue until it is no longer a concern.
The STOP Sex Trafficking Campaign
• Over the course of the three year STOP Sex Trafficking of
Children and Young People campaign, over 50,000 people
were engaged to end the trafficking of women and girls
into Singapore through talks, film screenings, concerts, road
shows and youth led events.
• In partnership with The Body Shop and HOME, 114,886 petitions were collected and were subsequently presented to
the Singapore Inter Agency Taskforce Against Trafficking for
future action.
Violence Against Women
•Since 2006, we have been spreading an important message
about the prevention of abuse and violence against women
through the Help Anna campaign, talk sessions and workshops.
•M
ore than 20,000 students and adults across Singapore have
attended our talks on this subject to date.
•I n addition, we have helped provide scholarships and vocational training programs to over 200 women and girls-at-risk
in the areas of personal development, mentoring and career
exposure activities.
Public Education
•Our public awareness programmes focus on generating
awareness amongst the public in Singapore on often neglected women’s issues.
•Topics range from the many roles of women in society;
respect for migrant women in the house; the incidence of
violence against women; trafficking of women and children;
and, other issues that affect us all.
Our Work in the Region
Our Committee’s fundraising supports a number of innovative
UN Women programmes in the region.

youth around the world representing more than 60 different
countries, and over 70,000 social media followers.
About UN Women
The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM)
was formed in 1976 when the world collectively recognized an
urgent need to promote women’s rights: women’s economic
security, protection of women against violence, women’s
education, health and political participation (including the right
to vote).
To accelerate the organization’s goals on gender equality and
the empowerment of women, the United Nations General
Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity
for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. UN
Women was launched on 1 January 2011 as the unifying
global champion for women and girls, and operates under the
United Nations Secretary-General.

BIOGRAPHIES
Janice Wong – Chef
Andre Chiang – Chef
Competition, judged by renowned master chefs
including Frédéric Bau and Ferran Adrià.
Boundless - a word that aptly sums up Chef Janice
Wong. Her refined and ever-evolving dessert
creations began with her studies at Le Cordon Bleu
Paris, arguably the world’s best culinary school, to
pursue a career in pastry.
Dissatisfied with how desserts were never the
highlight of a meal, Chef Wong
actively sought to change this
perception with the opening
of 2am: dessertbar in 2007. Her
never ending passion for culinary
art has propelled her forward to
test the limits of dessert making,
including constantly blurring the
boundaries between sweet and
savory. Ultimately, Chef Janice
Wong maintains a distinctly Asian
identity through the incorporation
of ingredients and childhood
memories from Hong Kong,
Singapore and Japan.
Eager to perfect her craft, Chef
Janice Wong apprenticed in some of
the most cutting edge restaurants
internationally, starting out with
experience at Melbourne stalwarts,
Fenix, The Botanical and Singapore’s
Les Amis, followed by New York and
Chicago institutions such as WD-50,
Room4dessert, Per Se, Alinea and
L20 as well as Europe’s top patissiers,
Pierre Herme and Oriol Balaguer.
She had the opportunity to work
alongside celebrated chefs such as
Gunther Hubrechsen, Loretta Fanella,
Oriol Balaguer, Arzak, Will Goldfarb,
Alex Stupak and Pierre Herme among
others.
The creations plated at
2am:dessertbar are sweet treats to
be savored, and are masterpieces
when matched with specialty
wine-pairings. The allure of
2am:dessertbar has reached
dessert-lovers from the “cool kids”
to celebrities, to beyond Singapore’s
shores and tickled the interest of local and
international chefs.
On top of her participation in many
globally recognized culinary events,
Chef Janice Wong was selected as the
sole Asian representative competing
against seven other pastry chefs from around
the world at 2010 Madrid Fusion’s prestigious C3
“
Supporting UN Women Singapore,
S.N.O.W. 2013 is a very meaningful and
inspiring project and without a doubt 2am:
dessertbar is excited to participate in such a
meaningful project.

A blend of dynamic passion and modest charm,
André’s magnetism is as irresistible as his cuisine.
Crafting celebrated creations, combining
Mediterranean accents and French techniques,
André attributes his influences to
the three generations of Masters
in “Nouvelle Cuisine” as well as
inspiration he draws inspiration
from the myriad selection of
products he uses to design his
menu every day.
Chef André Chiang has a philosophy of using only
the freshest of seasonal produce. Having made an
indelible impression on the culinary scene since
opening in late 2010, Restaurant ANDRE was
recently ranked #5 Asia’s 50 Best
Restaurant and Best Restaurant in
Singapore as well as #38 World’s
Best Restaurant by the coveted
Restaurant Magazine list. The
New York Times mentioned the
restaurant as one of the “Top 10
restaurants in the world worth
a plane ride” while Wallpaper
magazine places André as one of
the “World’s best young chefs”.
André developed a culinary
principle based on how our
capacity to taste food is influenced
by our memory banks, including
the personal experiences we
acquire over time. Octaphilosophy
– unique, texture, memory, pure,
terroir, salt, south and artisan
represent the eight elements
reflecting his roots in south of
France. A dinner at Restaurant
ANDRE is like a journey to the
south of France where the guests
can discover myriad flavours and
textures that engage the senses.
André’s career spans numerous
highly successful roles in various
Michelin-starred establishments
with some of the world’s top
French restaurants including the
masters of “Nouvelle Cuisine”
- Pierre Gagnaire ***, L’Atelier
de Joel Robuchon**, and
L’Astrance*** in Paris; La Maison
Troisgros*** in Roanne, and Le
Jardin des Sens* in Montpellier.
“
I am proud of supporting UN Women
Singapore as I am personally convinced that
the effort to end violence against women is
an everyday obligation to all and now is the
time to make the tragedy stop before it’s too
late.

“
Coming from a family with a strong
matriarchal figure, I have always respected
women and the inner strength they exude.
It frustrates me no end that many women
around the world are routinely and systematically subject to violence and abuse.

Dyn’s works, characterised by a
fascination for the coexistence of

absence by chronicling Singapore’s
changing architectural landscape.
Familiar local architecture, void of
human presence, is depicted in superflat, crisp-edged, candy-coloured
compositions that portray the outline
and characteristics of the buildings
without their shadows or depths.
Paintings of pre-war housing estates
like Tiong Bahru or the façade of
Cathay, drawn from old photographs,
evoke nostalgia and loss that reflect
the artist’s own childhood memories.
Dyn’s work is infused with a poignant
sense of isolation, using his painted
architecture to create a sense of
displacement and longing. Dyn
received his Master’s Degree in Fine
Arts from LASALLE in 2006. He has
been recognised with a number of

Smile
In accordance to Sergey Sobolev’s
style of creation, he has molded Smile
with his understanding of spaces set
between its boundaries. Hence with
this, he has been inspired to create
Smile through the streams of light to
depict his search for high modernism.
With a striking similarity to American
minimalism yet balancing complex
genealogy, Smile is created to disclose
one such example of his works to us
as a representation of such spatial
works. Smile is simple in its form and
representation, yet follows closely to the
historical style adapted from ancient
greek history of sculptures.
39
Sergey Sobolov’s sculpture style
is in search of higher modernism
and carries notes of American
minimalism similar to Isamu
Noguchi and Henry Moore. He
compresses narrative elements into
metaphor and projects everything
onto an expository situation. It
opens up the idea of representation
in general, laconic and free from
unnecessary details by taking form
as a boundary of space.
He won a tender to participate in
the opening of the New Olympic
Park of Sculptures in Sochi.

Bain & Company is the consulting firm the world’s business leaders come to when they want
enduring results. In addition to creating success stories for our clients, Bain Southeast Asia
has become an active contributor to the local community through our Bain Cares program.
Our employees get personal fulfillment through delivering results—not only for their corporate clients but also non-profit organizations (NPOs). Participating in Bain Cares is a personal choice many of our employees have made to create positive change in the community through one of three pillars of the Bain Cares mission:
Training, mentoring and development
Our Bain Cares team works extensively with partners in the non-profit and social enterprise
space that are focused on training, mentoring and development. That takes the form of
executive training workshops and strategy support for the Centre for Non-Profit Leadership
(CNPL) and the Social Enterprise Association (SEA). We are also engaged in supporting one
of Bain’s global non-profit partners, Endeavor, with their South-East Asia rollout.
Pro bono consulting
Bain Cares is regularly involved in pro bono projects through which we provide consulting
services for free to NPOs, including the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Center to refresh their strategy; EEN (Enabling Employers Network) to develop and implement an evaluation system to recognize companies’ efforts in employing PWDs; and UWCSEA on development of the foundation’s strategies. Bain is now recognized as a key partner of UWCSEA on
their “Donors” wall.
Community days
To complement the pro bono consulting services, we also organize community days, which
are volunteering activities throughout the year for the wider office to become part of a
broader charitable community. Past activities have included a visit to the zoo with children
from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore; beach clean-up at Pulau Ubin; career advice for
students at Victoria Junior College; and a visit to the Henderson Old Folks home.
