The Association of Women Lawyers (AWL) and the Pelajar Bukan Pengantin coalition have recently launched a new campaign to refocus attention on the issue of child marriage in Malaysia.
This comes amid questions on the progress made under the five-year “national strategic plan in handling the causes of child marriage”, which was launched in 2020.
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks to AWL’s Sheena Gurbakhash and Prof Noraida Endut of the Unit for Research on Women and Gender (Kanita) in Universiti Sains Malaysia.
