About Pertubuhan Pertolongan Wanita (WAO)
In 1979, the late Tun Tan Siew Sin was awarded the Tun Razak Award for his invaluable contribution to the country. He generously donated his cash award of RM 30,000 to establish a shelter for battered women and their children.
A Protem committee, headed by Puan Sri E.N. Chong, had its first meeting in November 1981. It took 9 months to lay the groundwork and to form a core group of volunteers. These pioneer volunteers worked as a collective to formulate the operating principles of self help and self empowerment for battered women who turned to WAO for help.
In
June 1982, WAO received temporary registration as a society and a single
storey house was rented as WAO's refuge and office premises.
The
Malay Mail published the first article about the planned Refuge. On a
Saturday morning in September 1982, a call came in: "She has left her
husband with her two children, could she stay for a while?" This woman
and her two children were WAO's first residents.
