Measures needed to prevent Penan girls’ rape
KUCHING: The Sarawak Women and Family Council wants measures to be put in place to prevent any further sexual abuses of Penan women and girls in the interior.
Its chairman Fatimah Abdullah said the council recommended that programmes on legal literacy, personal safety and sex education be conducted among Penan schoolchildren to educate them on their legal rights and how to protect themselves.
“This we propose to be done through the Women’s Bureau. The bureau already has such programmes but now we have to intensify these efforts, especially in high-risk areas,” she told a press conference after chairing a meeting to discuss the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry’s special task force report on the rape allegations at her residence here Friday.- + selanjutnya
