Orphancare

A total of 572 children and teenagers have recently been rescued from alleged abuse, exploitation, and forced labour, following several raids to charity homes linked to Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISB). The case however raises broader concerns about Malaysia’s child welfare system that allowed these children to fall through the cracks. What kind of support do these rescued children need now, and how can we ensure that no other institutionalised children suffer the same fate? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Dr Haezreena Begum Abdul Hamid, Criminologist and Deputy Dean of Higher Degree at Universiti Malaya’s Faculty of Law.
