Special squad’s role expanded as child abuse cases rise

KUALA LUMPUR: The rise in child abuse cases since 2020 has led to the expansion of the Women’s Anti-Crime Squad (Skuad Waja) role as child protection assistants to address the growing issue.

Women, Family, and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said selected Skuad Waja reps would be officially recognised as Skuad Waja Insaniah members.
