The female population forms more than half of Malaysia with more of them becoming a major workforce.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately a lot of women have also been forced to leave work due to inadequate support provided by the workplace and the overwhelming struggle to balance work and the home.<\/p>\n<p>MWMF was thus formed to raise awareness about working mothers\u2019 needs and inspire them to achieve balance and fulfillment through a supportive online community where they can seek support, Ms Parveen said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEDNESDAY, 28 MARCH 2012 18:54 Pix by Shahidan Saidi PETALING JAYA, 28 Mac. 2012 \u2013 The National Council of Women\u2019s<a class=\"tukm-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/archive\/year-2012\/march-2012\/support-for-working-mothers\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9524,"parent":1254,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9521","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9521"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9525,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9521\/revisions\/9525"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1254"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
