Episode 02: Child Sexual Abuse

              Break The Silence

    Episode 02: Child Sexual Abuse

The sexual abuse of children is a horrible reality, and many are unaware of its extent. Research has shown that as many as 53 per cent, or one in every two children, are victims of child sexual abuse. Contrary to belief, the home is not the safest place for a child, as many abusers are trusted by the family. In addition to educating children and encouraging them to be brave enough to say No to abuse, parents themselves need to be sensitive to their children’s signals. Moreover, a robust and specific law against child sexual abuse must be put in place to protect the child and vigorously punish the abuser.  

The episode also included a workshop for children to create awareness about the subject amongst children and their parents. The children were told that there are three "danger zones" (private parts) in everyone's body. These includes the chest, area between the legs and the bottom. The children were advised to shout and run to a safe place, and immediately inform a person whom they trust (preferably parents) in case any unwanted person tries to touch them in these part

Impact

Following the broadcast of the second episode, the helpline for children received increased number of calls from different cities of the country, and reporting different sorts of child abuse (both sexual abuse of children and other forms of abuse)

On 22nd May 2012, The legislation to protect children below 18 years from sexual abuse became a reality with Lok Sabha passing the bill which was earlier cleared by the Rajya Sabha. Child rights activists have however called the bill to be regressive and the teens across the country are generally appaled by the bill.
