form core groups in every state to continue with this advocacy work.
The ‘Nationwide Campaign
Against Domestic Violence’ was officially launched on the

The ‘Nationwide Campaign Against Domestic Violence’ was initiated by
Carol Lee (Mrs Malaysia Universe 2013) and is fully funded by KL SOGO and organized
by the All Women’s Action Society (AWAM).
The main objectives of
this campaign are to raise awareness on the issues of domestic violence, to promote
and encourage volunteers to join the force as advocates and trainers, as well
as to form core groups to maintain and continue the advocacy work throughout
the country.
The campaign
will run for approximately 1 year, starting from July 2013. Phase 1 will
include Kuala Lumpur, Perlis, Penang, Kedah, Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu,
Pahang, Perak, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Selangor, all of which will be
divided into 4 zones.
The campaign involves
organizing half-day workshops in every state for approximately 100 participants.
The workshop will provide information on domestic violence and its effects and
causes, legal rights and aid provision by Legal Information Clinic in collaboration with the State Legal Aid
Centres & NGOs, the impact that it has on Muslim women and also recruitment
of participants who are interested to be Advocators.
KL SOGO and Carol Lee are
