Abstract

This paper examines various ways and key practices in which women may be sidelined – intentionally or unintentionally and/or that their potential is not fully tapped. It next examines the various strategies and cultural-fit ways in which the Bruneian Society and the women-folks can move forward or advance their position. Overall, there has, in fact, been a rising status of women in Brunei. Highlighted in this paper are several key strategies, and these can include having work and family/life balance, and networking.

Keywords: Women, Brunei Darussalam, role model, strategies to advance women, work-life balance, humaneness, warmth, mother leadership, feminine touch
