Child abuse remains a critical concern in Malaysia. In 2023, the Social Welfare Department recorded 4,469 child abuse cases, and by August 2024, an additional 2,240 cases were reported. These incidents encompass physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, with girls constituting over 90% of sexual abuse victims in both years. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Department of Statistics Malaysia highlighted a 21% increase in sexual assault incidents against children in 2023, totaling 1,567 cases compared to 1,239 in 2022. Additionally, the number of children needing care and protection rose by 26.1%, from 6,770 in 2022 to 8,536 in 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing this issue requires collective community action. Every individual can contribute by recognising signs of abuse, reporting suspicions to authorities, and supporting affected children and families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
