End Child Marriage Malaysia | Convention on the Rights of Children

Convention on the Rights of Children

The Malaysian Government ratified the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which is an international human rights treaty which upholds the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of all children below 18 years. The principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child have helped influence Malaysia’s efforts to reduce the number of children dying before the age of five, accelerate girls’ education, and increase access to education for children living in remote parts of the country. This treaty is what helped shaped The Child Act that was in effect in 2001.
