Organised by The Sabah Society

The talk is held in English.

When we talk about "street kids" in Kota Kinabalu, whose experiences are we focusing on, and whose voices are missing?

In this thought-provoking talk, hosted by the Sabah Society, Drs. Sanen Marshall and Ayesah Uy Abubakar examine how public policies and media portrayals influence our perceptions of children living and working on the streets. Do these labels help or harm? Are we addressing their realities or our own discomfort?

Join the discussion as the speakers explore how trauma, identity, and social perception intersect in ways that perpetuate stereotypes instead of offering real support.
