Mobile social support centres proposed in Sabah to aid women facing domestic violence

AI Summary

The National Welfare Foundation (YKN) proposes mobile Local Social Support Centres (PSSS) in Sabah, Malaysia, to aid women experiencing domestic violence, particularly in rural areas. These centers will facilitate easier reporting to authorities by eliminating transportation barriers. The MyPSSS app within the centers connects users directly to relevant ministries and agencies, including the Social Welfare Department. Over 2,000 psychosocial cases, including cost of living, work, family, and abuse issues, were recorded during a three-day PSSS program in Sabah. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between those in need and available support services.
