The Child Rights Coalition Malaysia recently launched Malaysia’s first NGO alternative report and children’s report to the UN committee on the rights of the child.
The launch follows Malaysia’s recent dialogue with the committee in Geneva after a 19-year reporting gap, and the committee’s latest observations on the country’s child rights record.
So what does this moment tell us about the state of children’s rights in Malaysia today? Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with Thulasi Munisamy, a representative from the Child Rights Coalition Malaysia, and Siti Rahayu Baharin, the co-founder of Buku Jalanan Chow Kit.
