Aum Kunzang Lhamu, Director to National Commission of Women and Children (NCWC) and her team met with relevant personnel in the Dzongkhag to create awareness regarding NCWC. As a result of tireless efforts of the Government and with the number of women’s rights organization, women has come a long way. According to the Director, women are under-represented in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The National Commission for Women and Children (NCWC) is mandated to protect and promote the rights of women and children, yet it remains infamous amongst the society.

Therefore, the team aimed to create awareness on all the acts, roles and responsibilities. We were told about the service support they are eyeing for and the various agencies needed to work in collaboration. NCWC is sharing and collecting women based information in the system called CMIS.
