Get on Board!Do you care enough to stop child abuse?
Did you know that an average of 7 children in Malaysia suffered abuse everyday in 2008, and these are only reported cases. Many more experience abuse in silence and behind closed doors. Abuse robs a child of their dignity. It can also leave invisible scars on children, their families and society that last lifetimes, if not generations. Prevention is the best hope we have to improve the lives of children and their families. Putting an end to child abuse is a shared responsibility that requires each of us to care and act.
