Women Must Know what Constitutes Sexual Crimes

Press/Media: Other

Description

The article reports on the marginal rise in sexual crimes against minors in Malaysia in 2021. As the Deputy President of the women's right NGO, I stressed the critical need for public awareness about what constitutes sexual crimes like harassment and stalking, as many victims do not recognize them. I also  advocate for self-defense training, clarifying it teaches discipline and escape tactics, not aggression, but caution it is not a foolproof solution for children. Often, there is also tendency of shifting blame from victims to perpetrators.
