Child abuse is one of the most insidious crimes increasing at an alarming rate globally.

According to one of the reports by the Women and Child Development Department, children aged 5-12 years are at the highest risk for abuse and exploitation. At a younger age, boys and girls both are at a risk of getting abused.

Child abuse in India is often a hidden phenomenon especially when it happens in the home or by family members. Focus with regards to abuse has generally been in the more public domain such as child labour, prostitution, marriage, etc. Intra-family abuse or abuse that takes place in institutions such as schools or government homes has received minimal attention. This may be due to the structure of family in India and the role children have in this structure. Children in India are often highly dependent on their parents and elders; they continue to have submissive and obedient roles towards their parents even after they have moved out of their parental home.

Lets join our hands to create Child Abuse Awareness and save our next generation from child sexual abuse.
