Consider This: Children First? Malaysia Comes Under Review (Part 1)

The Child Rights Coalition Malaysia recently launched Malaysia’s first NGO Alternative Report and Children’s Report to the United Nations 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? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Thulasi Munisamy, Representative from the Child Rights Coalition Malaysia. She is also the Advocacy Lead at ECPAT Malaysia, and a Child Protection & Safeguarding Specialist at ENGENDER Consultancy and Asia Freedom Network.
