Marking World Children’s Day this year, which is celebrated every 20th of November, we’re encouraged to see that Malaysian children are speaking up more than ever, including young advocates presenting Malaysia’s first Convention on the Rights of the Child Children’s report in Geneva.

Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Sanja Saranovic, the deputy representative for Unicef Malaysia, and child advocate Jessie Lee.
