‘Giving kids a brighter future is Asean’s responsibility’

Former Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri, who was guest of honour at the Jenayah Seksual Kanak-Kanak: Hentikan!! seminar yesterday, said a multilateral collaboration could help create a world free from exploitation, social injustice and a place where children can enjoy their childhood and prepare for the future.
