The response, it said, should be coordinated by the National Domestic Violence Committee, a multi-stakeholder committee led by the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry.
“Meanwhile, WAO has observed a 44 per cent increase in WAO Hotline calls and WhatsApp enquiries from February to March 2020,” it said in a statement today. WAO said firstly, the government has to issue a clear standard operating procedure for responding to domestic violence during the MCO and to ensure the SOPs are adhered to by all frontline officers.
“This demands urgent attention, as domestic violence shelters are sorely lacking in Malaysia. International best practices recommend a minimum of one family place in a women’s shelter per 10,000 people, but Malaysia only has an estimated one family place per 72,538 people.”
