THE Child Rights Coalition Malaysia (CRCM) and Education Cluster of CSO Platform for Reform (EDPlatform) are disturbed by the recent reports in the media on the state and development of the education system in Malaysia pertaining to the following:
Basic human rights violation of students
The incidents of menstrual spot checks in schools and the moral policing of Muslim female students are a violation of the dignity of the child, their right to protection under Article 3 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which refers to the child’s right to privacy.
Such actions create fear in students and may result in trauma that affects their safety and ability to learn in school. This can have dire effects on their future.
