Satyamev Jayate : Episode 2: Child Sexual Abuse - 13th May 2012
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.
