SEVERAL civil society organisations in Malaysia have joined forces for the “My Promise to Children” campaign, launched recently to activate the promise made 25 years ago to children, when the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on Nov 20, 1989.

Malaysia acceded to the CRC on Feb 17, 1995.
