PETALING JAYA: Petaling Jaya MP Maria Chin Abdullah has called for more workers, especially university graduates who can help improve the support system for victims of rape and domestic violence.
Speaking to FMT on the sidelines of the PJ Women Festival 2020 here, she said there are fewer than 10 social welfare centres which focus on such issues.At the moment, she added, centres must deal with a variety of cases including substance abuse and those who run away from their families.“The same goes for drug problems – you cannot give the same type of help. We need to build a better support system for these people, and the only way to do it is by having more people in the social services.
When asked how more graduates might be attracted into the sector, she said it was up to the country’s leaders to pump more money into such areas.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
