Nurul Izzah: Govt must look into initiatives for single women households as they suffer higher deprivations

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 — Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar today said that single women heads of households from the B40 income bracket should be given adequate support to ensure they could live a decent life

She said many domestic violence cases have resulted in women having to leave without any security or housing and at the same time having to take care of the children.“If you don’t have a quota on public housing, they are going to be marginalised. Nurul Izzah also launched her own commission report on Multidimensional Poverty Index which detailed a pilot programme to identify and confirm the need for a more holistic approach to poverty measurement in Malaysia to determine the extent of the pandemic’s impact on vulnerable groups.

She said among the pilot programmes that could be implemented is financial assistance from the government to single women-headed households in critical times after the divorce as the father could not provide the alimony as compelled by the shariah court.
