Between January and April this year, Malaysia recorded 2,467 cases of domestic violence, shedding light on a persistent and troubling social issue. According to Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Noraini Ahmad, studies have revealed that housewives remain the most vulnerable group, experiencing the highest number of reported incidents. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for continued awareness, support systems, and policy interventions to protect those at risk.

“Some victims may not even realize they are being abused, as domestic violence isn’t limited to physical harm—it also includes emotional abuse,” she explained. “In some cases, perpetrators use reverse psychology, making it even harder for victims to recognize the abuse.”

“Research has also shown that the majority of abuse is carried out by those closest to the victim, often within the family,” she said during a media interview after officiating the Women’s Wellbeing Advocacy Programme @ Domestic Violence (Aku Wanita @ KRT) held here today.

Noraini further shared that Terengganu recorded 104 domestic violence cases between January and April this year. She noted that although the figure showed a decline compared to the same period last year — which saw 130 cases — it remained a cause for concern.

Noraini added that the ministry has introduced several initiatives to curb domestic violence, including the Aku Wanita @ KRT Programme. According to her, the programme provides a platform for in-depth discussions on domestic violence, featuring insights from experts and testimonies from survivors who have successfully overcome abuse.

She also highlighted the introduction of a psychological intervention session known as K-Chat, which forms part of the initiative. This group-based session brings together survivors with trained counsellors and facilitators, aiming to help participants better understand and cope with the trauma and challenges they have faced due to domestic violence.

These efforts reflect the government’s commitment to tackling domestic violence through education, support, and community-based interventions. While the declining numbers in certain regions offer a glimmer of hope, Noraini emphasized that sustained action and vigilance remain crucial to ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals across the country.
