MALAYSIAN
COALITION FOR THE PREVENTION OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE (MCPCSA) (Barisan
Bertindak Pencegahan Penderaan Seks Kanak-Kanak Malaysia) Child
Sexual Abuse is about a vicious cycle that affects victims, their offspring,
and society at large. With scarce resources, the private tragedy of sexual
abuse also presents an economic and social concern. While some children
develop resiliency and overcome abusive backgrounds to become loving,
caring, and productive citizens, many others succumb under the weight
of the trauma and develop psychological problems. MCPCSA
believes that the strength of a coalition will enable us to act and influence
society more effectively on an issue that will require not just the industry
of a single body but also the cumulative talents of many. Partnership
means voice, choice and respectful working relationships between different
stakeholders. We encourage and recognize that service-recipients need
to be actively engaged in the advocacy, prevention and intervention process.
Therefore, we welcome all organizations or associations interested to
join us in this journey to end child sexual abuse and exploitation to
become Partners of the Coalition. The
State obligation in taking all appropriate legislative, administrative,
social, and educational measures to protect the child from sexual exploitation
and abuse, including prostitution and involvement in pornography and to
establish appropriate social programmes for the prevention of abuse and
the treatment of victims. (Article
19 & 34 of the Convention On The Rights Of The Child) Coalition

Penganiayaan
atau penderaan seksual ke atas kanak-kanak adalah perbuatan keji terlampau
yang menjejaskan kehidupan serta maruah mangsa, keturunan dan pergaulan
mereka dalam masyarakat sekeliling.
Disebabkan kurangnya daya pemikiran dan ajaran agama seseorang,
tragedi yang terjadi sebegini boleh menjejaskan ekonomi dan sosial
negara. Walaupun mangsa
cuba sedaya upaya melupakan kisah hitam dengan melalui kehidupan secara
normal namun mereka tetap dihantui trauma kisah silam sehingga menjejaskan
kehidupan seharian akibat tekanan jiwa. Barisan Bertindak
percaya dengan adanya kekuatan dan sokongan dari berbagai pihak, segala
program pencegahan yang dilaksanakan pasti akan berjaya apabila masyarakat
memahami dan ‘bersatu hati’ dalam memantau isu ini dan bertindak lebih
efektif bukan sahaja secara individu, malah bersama gabungan kepakaran
pelbagai pihak. ‘Bersatu
hati’ bermaksud suara, pilihan dan persefahaman dalam perhubungan.
Kami amat menggalak khidmat sukarela sebagai individu rujukkan
di mana ia memerlukan penglibatan sepenuhnya di dalam pencegahan dan pembelaan.
Oleh itu, kami amat mengalu-alukan organisasi-organisasi dan persatuan-persatuan
yang berminat dan prihatin untuk bersama Badan Bertindak bagi menangani
penganiayaan dan penderaan terhadap kanak-kanak di Malaysia. “Negara
hendaklah melindungi kanak-kanak daripada segala bentuk penganiayaan yang
dilakukan oleh ibu bapa atau orang lain yang bertanggungjawab menjaga
kanak-kanak itu dan mewujudkan program sosial yang sesuai bagi pencegahan
penganiayaan dan rawatan mangsa. Negara
hendaklah melindungi kanak-kanak daripada pengeksplotasian dan penderaan
seksual, termasuk pelacuran dan penglibatan
dalam pornografi” (artikel
19 & 34 Konvensyen Mengenai Hak Kanak-Kanak Antarabangsa) Latarbelakang
