Take sexual violence issues seriously

THE Women’s Affairs Bureau (Helwa) of the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (Abim) views with grave concern the increasing reports of rape, incest, out-of-wedlock pregnancies, and other social issues related to adolescent and community sexual relations, especially in Kelantan.

This situation reflects not only a deep moral and social crisis but also highlights the failure of current support systems in providing effective education, protection, and early intervention for youths and women at risk.
