  "account": "According to Lim Hui Ying, the Deputy Minister for Women, Family and Community Development, 251 sexual offenses involving university students (IPT) were reported between January and August this year. The statistics from the police indicate that sexual safety in educational settings requires serious attention and continuous action, according to Bernama.\n\nAddressing this issue involves not only knowing how to protect oneself but also understanding the methods to assist others appropriately, Lim emphasized. The Skuad Waja Siswa initiative, which stands for Women Against Crime and is established by the ministry, aims to encourage volunteer and community involvement in raising awareness and tackling violence against women. Lim stressed that violence against women and sexual offenses are serious issues that cannot be taken lightly, noting that they can include verbal abuse, insults, emotional manipulation, financial control, and sexual assault.\n\nIt is crucial for everyone to know that there are channels for obtaining assistance and support, and she hopes that raising awareness through this program will help students understand their rights and know the steps to take if they encounter sexual assault. As of September, there were 340,667 volunteers participating in Skuad Waja across the country, of which 264,461 were women and 76,206 were men.",
