PUTRAJAYA: While acknowledging that efforts to empower women still need some work to be done, the government has taken measures to ensure that women continue to participate in nation-building through economic initiatives and encouraging shared responsibility, says the Prime Minister.

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said he had asked the Human Resources Ministry and Public Service Department to explore several initiatives to encourage shared responsibility and to allow women to remain in the workforce.
