Who are we

Voice of the Children (VoC) was founded in 2008 to advocate on issues affecting children. VoC recognizes that the welfare and protection of every child in Malaysia can only be realised through the adoption, implementation and enforcement of the Convention of the Rights of the Child in Malaysia. As part of its core mission, VoC advocates for law and policy reform to ensure that every child in Malaysia is protected from all forms of abuse and is no longer at risk of violation.

VoC was established in order to fill a gap in existing children’s services, which traditionally have specialised in caring for children by supplying food, shelter, education and other direct services. By focusing instead on legal and policy issues affecting children, VoC occupies a distinct niche in Malaysia. We aim to be a resource for both service organizations and the legal community by providing information and advocacy on laws, policies, and treaties that impact children.
