Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh said the ministry, led by Rina Harun and her deputy Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff, had shown poor leadership and had not progressed on major issues.
The 100-day countdown began on Sept 1 when Ismail Sabri Yaakob took over as prime minister from Muhyiddin Yassin, but Rina and Siti Zailah have been in their positions since March last year.
Yeoh noted that the ministry had failed to use the RM30 million grant approved by Parliament to tackle issues like protecting children and setting up childcare centres for frontliners.
Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) deputy executive director Yu Ren Chung commended the ministry for continuing with efforts to address domestic violence and for allocating additional funds for survivors of abuse.
However, he questioned the implementation of initiatives in resolving these issues.
“We want to see specifics on the plans and how the budget allocations will be rolled out,” he said.
