Since April 2025, SWWB has received funding from United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) to respond specifically to refugee gender-based violence cases.
As the funding partnership wrapped up on 31 Dec 2025, SWWB has managed 80 cases where 1 case may include the mother and children that come along. With that, we have assisted a total of 177 individuals including the survivors’ children, 97 of them. Of all the 80 cases, there are Sudanese (1), Palestinian (1), Syrian (2), Iran (2), Pakistani (2), Afghan (3), Yemeni (4), Myanmar Burmese (12), Somali (18), Rohingya (35). As of 31 Dec 2025, 52 cases are still ongoing while 28 cases are resolved and closed.
For the cases, specialized interventions provided to them are 38 cases for UNHCR registration and file separation referral 28 cases with community placement and livelihood support, 12 cases with psychosocial support intervention 10 cases with medical intervention, 7 cases with legal aid.

Starting 1 January 2026, SWWB is once again blessed to receive funding from another UN agency - United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to continue the case management work with refugees in Klang Valley, Penang, Ipoh, Johor, Kuantan, Kelantan and Kedah.
As of 31 March 2026, SWWB has managed 53 Myanmar cases and 17 non-Myanmar cases. Out of all the cases, Klang Valley remains the highest among all our cases, followed by Penang. The table shows the number of interventions rendered for the 70 cases from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2026
Case consultation with translation by our community mobilizer Project Safe aim to provide crucial intervention during the immediate crisis phase, we are appealing for donations to support the cases. A typical case would require about RM1,200 per month to provide the relevant intervention(s) with the majority of cases requiring recurring expenditure on placement (at least RM500/month) and occasional medical treatment (average RM300/month and RM4,000 - RM8,000 per pregnancy delivery), where the cost is very significant. We are currently looking to include children’s education support as part of our comprehensive case management service as some of our cases may have children that require support.
