SARI@KRT programme to help 1,400 domestic violence survivors nationwide rebuild lives, says Nancy Shukri

The Malaysian Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) has introduced the Santun Kasih Pemandiri@Keganasan Rumah Tangga (SARI@KRT) programme, aimed at aiding 1,400 domestic violence survivors throughout the country. KPWKM Minister, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri, spoke at the programme's launch regarding its focus on bolstering the psychosocial support, legal assistance, and economic empowerment of female victims of domestic violence.

Shukri emphasized the government's commitment to breaking the cycle of silence and providing victims the necessary support to overcome their trauma, stating, "We are not merely raising awareness. We want to restore the victims' confidence, showing them that every crisis they face has a solution through the proper channels of action."

The programme's rollout coincides with the Road to Eliminate Violence Against Women (EVAW) 2026 campaign, which aims to eliminate violence against women by the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25, followed by the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
