ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise RDN Connectivity Global, through its SHE RISES GLOBAL initiative, for achieving:
Largest Compilation of Self-Submitted Real-Life “She Rises” Women’s Stories in a Single Book
(375 entries, one entry each, first edition printed in 2026)
This recognition celebrates the collective voices of 375 women who shared their personal journeys, experiences and aspirations in a single publication, creating a lasting collection of stories centred on courage, resilience and women’s empowerment.
Bringing Together 375 Women’s Stories in One Publication
The record-setting publication, “The World Has Heard Us: The Rising Voices of 300 ASEAN Women,” brings together 375 self-submitted real-life stories, with each contributor sharing one personal account.
Initiated on 13 May 2025, the project completed its story collection on 15 August 2026, surpassing its original target of 300 contributors. Its first edition was printed in 2026.
The publication features women from different generations, cultural backgrounds and life experiences, reflecting individual journeys of personal growth, challenges, achievements and aspirations.
By preserving these experiences in a single book, the initiative provides a platform for women’s voices to be documented, recognised and shared with future generations.
Empowering Women Through Storytelling and Shared Experiences
At the heart of SHE RISES GLOBAL is the belief that every woman’s story carries meaning and has the potential to inspire others.
The initiative encourages women to share their authentic experiences, recognising that personal stories of resilience, determination and transformation can offer encouragement to others navigating similar journeys.
Through its guiding philosophy of “Women Support Women”, the platform promotes mutual encouragement, personal development and meaningful connections among women from different communities.
Its five core values — Love, Awakening, Balance, Abundance and Connection — form the foundation of its approach to women’s empowerment and collective growth.
Building a Lasting Legacy Beyond the Record
The publication forms part of SHE RISES GLOBAL’s broader vision, “Her to Legacy”, which seeks to support women as they progress from personal growth and learning to leadership, entrepreneurship and social contribution.
Beyond storytelling, the platform brings together women through education, networking, recognition programmes, business collaboration and community initiatives.
The record-setting book represents an important step in preserving women’s lived experiences while encouraging future generations to recognise the value of their own voices.
Through its continued development, SHE RISES GLOBAL aims to strengthen connections among women across ASEAN and beyond, supporting opportunities for collaboration, cultural exchange and leadership development.
A Milestone Moment of Recognition
ASEAN Records recognition was officially presented on 10 October 2026 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, during the “Rising Together: ASEAN’s Voice to the World” 10.10 Grand Summit.

Voices of Leadership
Reflecting on the achievement, GG Wong, Founder of SHE RISES, shared:
“This ASEAN Records recognition is more than a record. It is a testament to courage, resilience, unity and the extraordinary power of women coming together.
Every story represents a journey, and every voice carries a dream. Together, these 375 women have created a legacy that will inspire future generations.
When women unite, barriers are broken, possibilities are created, and history is made. One World, One Love, We Rise Together!”
Preserving Women’s Voices for Future Generations
