In 2019, a stateless child was given citizenship after waiting for 5 years of making constant appeals to the government. There are more than 400 000 stateless people in Malaysia, and if we work together, we can correct the wrongdoings of the previous generation by giving the stateless people of Malaysia a place to belong.

07/08/2020

As the future generation, we have strong voices. As Malaysians, we need to help them gain their right to a nationality. These are some of the ways that we can help to make things right.

07/08/2020

There is an estimated amount of 462 350 stateless people in Malaysia. However, according to the Malaysian Federal Constitution as well as several Human Rights laws, nationality should be a human right.

As citizens, we need to be aware of these laws so we can hold the government accountable. Nationality would then no longer be a luxury but rather a basic human right.

While we are able to enjoy the privilege of education and free or subsidized healthcare, many stateless children do not and are instead working to receive wages. The things we commonly take for granted are things that some stateless people could never experience in their lives.
Let’s learn about what it means to be stateless.

07/08/2020

Statelessness is an issue that most of us are unfamiliar with, despite its worldwide prominence. A stateless person is someone without any proper documentation and is not a legal citizen, and is therefore unable to enjoy the same benefits in life as we do. In the next few posts, we will learn about what it means to be stateless and how we can help them.

Alright! This time, we'll be sharing some posters on child marriage. Child brides feel powerless as they are bound to a man who possesses full authority over them. They are deprived of their basic rights to health, education, and safety. Through visuals and some keywords, we hope to highlight and contrast what the realities are like for a victim of child marriage and a schoolchild.

07/08/2020

Hey there! Back again with another post on Child Marriage.

Now, let's learn a little more about the current legal framework in our country. Be sure to be aware and educated on the matter, so we don't go blindly criticizing policies!

Just something to think about: 18 years old is below the age of consent. If these young girls below the age of consent refuse what their husbands want or say, what do you think will happen to them?

Will their voices be heard? What about what these girls want?

Who else will help them?

Good day, everyone!

Today, the topic will be on Child Marriage in Malaysia.

Heard of it? Well, the case of the marriage between a 41-year-old man and an 11-year-old girl on the east coast of Kelantan back in 2018 sparked public outcry, which prompted the government at the time, Pakatan Harapan to draft a ban on child marriages in our country.

However, this has met with divided responses among the public. Child marriage is still an ongoing issue in our country, and there are several reasons why child marriage happens.

Do stay tune to learn more, as we will be posting more regarding the matter!

Youth voters matter, so don't forget to register to vote!
