After close to two-years in the works, the Inter-Agency Working Together Document to handle domestic violence cases may finally see the light of day. The document has been drafted and next month, the secretary-generals of all ministries will meet to discuss the document before presenting it to the Cabinet.

“We will see what happens from there. We really hope it can be (presented to Cabinet by year end) but we have to wait and see,” said Women, Family and Community Development minister Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim on Tuesday after launching the Women’s Aid Organisation’s 2015 Case Studies in Domestic Violence Report, titled Working Together.
