Neglect Of Children's Rights Amid The Covid-19 Pandemic
Pengabaian Hak Kanak-Kanak Semasa Pandemik Covid-19
Keywords:
Neglect, Children's, Rights, Pandemic, COVID-19Abstract
Data from the Department of Social Welfare recorded an increase in cases of child abuse and neglect during the COVID-19 pandemic from around March 2020 to March 2021, with a total of 1,910 cases involving 686 cases of physical abuse, 606 cases of sexual abuse, 63 cases of emotional abuse, and 555 cases of child neglect. The failure of law enforcement to effectively address and monitor cases of child neglect during the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the main reasons for the surge in abuse cases. Therefore, one of the objectives of this article is to examine the concept of child neglect according to Islam and legislation, identify the factors contributing to the increase in child neglect cases during the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequently analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement in these child neglect cases during that period. This qualitative study, focusing on case studies and comparative studies, relies on document analysis methods such as texts from the Quran and Hadith, tabloid reports, journal articles, scholarly writings, statutes, and relevant court cases related to the discussed issue. The findings of this article indicate that there are existing laws to address neglect, but there are still gaps that need improvement to ensure the rights of neglected child victims can be upheld.
Abstrak
Data daripada Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat merekodkan peningkatan kes penderaan dan pengabaian kanak-kanak dalam tempoh pandemik COVID-19 sekitar Mac 2020 sehingga Mac 2021 adalah sebanyak 1,910 kes membabitkan 686 kes penderaan fizikal, 606 kes penderaan seksual, 63 kes melibatkan emosi dan pengabaian kanak-kanak sebanyak 555 kes. Kegagalan penguatkuasaan undang-undang untuk menangani dan memantau kes-kes pengabaian kanak-kanak secara efektif dalam tempoh pandemik COVID-19 merupakan antara penyebab utama berlakunya lonjakan kes penderaan ini. Justeru, antara objektif penulisan ini adalah untuk mengkaji konsep pengabaian kanak-kanak menurut Islam dan perundangan, mengenalpasti faktor-faktor berlakunya peningkatan kes-kes pengabaian kanak-kanak semasa pandemik COVID-19 dan seterusnya menganalisis keberkesanan penguatkuasaan undang-undang dalam kes pengabaian kanak-kanak dalam tempoh tersebut. Metod kajian kualitatif yang mengarah kepada kajian kes dan kajian perbandingan ini tertumpu kepada kaedah analisis dokumen seperti teks-teks Al-Quran, laporan tabloid, artikel jurnal, penulisan ilmiah, statut-statut serta kes-kes mahkamah yang berkaitan dengan isu yang ingin dibahaskan. Penelitian artikel ini menunjukkan penguatkuasaan undang-undang berkenaan pengabaian itu wujud namun masih terdapat lakuna yang perlu ditambahbaik untuk memastikan hak kanak-kanak mangsa pengabaian dapat ditegakkan.
