  "summary": "Suhakam, Malaysia's Human Rights Commission, has called for schools to provide trusted channels for children to report sexual abuse, rather than relying solely on annual health checks. Children are more likely to disclose such violations in a safe environment, and Adib Samuri, Suhakam's children's commissioner, emphasized the need for schools to have trained officers who pupils can trust and feel safe approaching. He also stressed the importance of regular, private check-ins with vulnerable groups, such as children in boarding schools and those with disabilities.",
