PETALING JAYA – The Youth and Sports Ministry will introduce this Wednesday (March 15) the Safe Sport Code, which includes the safety aspects when dealing with sexual harassment, bullying and violence.

Its minister Hannah Yeoh said the code, which was previously in the research phase, is now ready to be fully implemented by her ministry.

“The ministry will make a special announcement about the code.

“The issue of safe sports is not only for women but also for men, as apart from the issue of sexual harassment, it also involves bullying and violence,” she told reporters after completing the Women’s Day Celebration at the ministry level here today.

The code, which includes guidelines for conduct, will be used to handle complaints about sexual harassment in the sports industry before being replaced by the Safe Sport Act in the future. – Bernama, March 11, 2023
