November 19th : WORLD DAY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE.
And with my chosen charities being Yayasan Nur Salam & Protect & Save the Children, I went along to RTM this morning (yup, 7.45am!!! mornings are not designed for musicians) to talk about the plight of these children both here in Malaysia and globally, who face abuse on a daily basis. Annie and Stefan were great hosts and we had many interesting callers (Tom & John)
Essentially the different forms of abuse are categorised as follows :-
I appeared on the breakfast show along with Madeleine Yong (Director of P.S. The Children) & Dr. Hartini Zainudin (Consultant for Yayasan Nur Salam / Chow Kit Kids).... My role / responsibility to help create more awareness on the top - make a taboo subject a little less taboo and more acceptable to discuss.
Ignorance leads to Fear.
Fear leads to continued Abuse.
We must help educate ppl about child abuse.... if you dont know enough about it the just simply google 'child abuse' - you will be drowned with number of websites and articles that come up. Once you've 'educated' yourself - ask yourself what YOU can do to help.
Even sharing the knowledge you have gained is HELPING the cause as you are spreading AWARENESS.....
Children ARE OUR FUTURE - the future of our NATION.
It is OUR responisibility to everything we can , pool ALL resources to :
PROTECT OUR CHILDREN
PREVENT more abuse from happening
COUNSEL and HEAL the VICTIMS
COUNSEL and REFORM the perpertrators
