NGO aims to make schools safe and inclusive through campaign

When students feel that they're respected and well taken care of in the physical, emotional and mental sphere, they'll feel safe and comfortable to get involved in activities and engage in conversations and discussions at school. Photo: Pixabay

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence campaign ended on Human Rights Day on Dec 10, but the fight against gender based violence continues for many, including Kryss Network, an NGO that focuses on research and documentation of online and offline gender based violence. The NGO has launched a campaign called “Suara Pelajar, Suara Utama” (Students’ voices are essential) to help make schools a safer place for all students in Malaysia.

As part of the campaign, a video titled 'What is a Safe and Inclusive Learning Space?' has been released to show how Malaysians can work together to create a safer and more inclusive learning environment in public schools around the country.
