S. Kanapathy has been an outreach programme volunteer with Women's Centre for Change Penang (WCC) for over 10 years. He says that he volunteers because it's his “service to the community”.
“I've been volunteering for 24 years at my local Hindu temple. Then, one day I received a forwarded WhatsApp message about a free WCC talk on child sexual abuse. During that time, I was working with the police. I decided to attend it and after the talk, I asked how I could help.
