NGOs: Year Three textbook should teach boys and girls respect and consent, not victim-blaming

PETALING JAYA: "Appalled", "horrified" and "absolutely inappropriate" – that is how women and children's non-governmental groups are describing the Year Three Pendidikan Jasmani dan Kesihatan (Physical and Health Education) textbook that is said to be teaching boys and girls victim-blaming in sexual harassment incidents.

NGOs said the textbook puts the onus of preventing sexual assault on women and girls alone, when it is the perpetrator who should be held accountable.
