KOTA KINABALU: Chairwoman of the Sabah Institute of Development Studies (IDS), Datuk Seri Azizah Mohd Dun, has urged efforts to strengthen women’s leadership in Sabah, noting that their representation remains low.

Backed by IDS research data, she stressed the need to not only increase the number of women leaders but to ensure they are qualified, capable and credible.

Speaking at a women’s leadership empowerment workshop, Azizah said strong leaders must communicate clearly, be well-prepared and understand the issues they represent.

The GRS woman's chief She added that training programmes such as public speaking, group work and presentations help build these qualities.

She also highlighted experience, accountability and continuous learning as key traits, urging women leaders to keep up with rapidly evolving issues.

The workshop involved 35 participants from GRS women’s wings across Kota Kinabalu, Putatan, Penampang and Sepanggar.
