SMS hotline for abuse victims

In Malaysia, victims of incest and domestic violence who are afraid to come forward can now seek counselling and help through a text messaging hotline set up by a public complaints bureau. “Through the SMS, there is no need for victims to face strangers or anyone else when they reveal their problems”

The service would be officially launched on Friday in Kuala Lumpur Plaza, according to The Star.
