3. EMPOWERMENT OF YOUTH
SUHAKAM continued to conduct its “Youth for Rights” programme aimed
at raising awareness among the youths on human rights and their important
role in promoting and protecting human rights in the country.
SUHAKAM reached out to 235 youths from different local universities and
colleges which was held in the forms of awareness talks, lectures and
camps.
We conducted the sessions for students of three colleges, namely Jelebu
Community College, Kompas International College and MARA Poly-Tech
University College in Kuala Lumpur. SUHAKAM also delivered an online
lecture on 22 August. Details of these sessions are summarised in Table 3:
