Child Sexual Abuse and We.

                                                          CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE


The first lesson children’s must be taught  Know your Body and have respect for it only then you can respect others.

Child Sexual abuse is an unfortunate reality. 56% children go through this before reaching 10 years of age.

75% of these cases do not get reported. 60% of the predators are individuals known to the Child. 45% of the victims are boys.

The best way to deal with this is to talk to children about sexual Abuse.

The WHO estimates that 150 million girls and 73 million boys under 18 have experienced forced sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual violence involving physical contact, though this is certainly an underestimate.

Much of this sexual violence is inflicted by family members or other people residing in or visiting a child's family home- people normally trusted by children and often responsible for their care.

In India, 53.22% reported having faced one or more forms of sexual abuse that included severe and other forms.

Among them 52.94% were boys and 47.06% girls.

The age wise distribution of children reporting sexual abuse in one or more forms showed that though the abuse started at the age of 5 years, it gained momentum 10 years onward, peaking at 12 to 15 years and then starting to decline.

This study on Child Abuse: India 2007 means that children in the teenage years are most vulnerable.

In many places, adults are outspoken about the risk of sexual violence their children faced at school or at play in the community, but rarely did adults speak of children's risk of sexual abuse within the home and family context.

The shame, secrecy and denial associated with familial sexual violence against children foster a pervasive culture of silence, where children cannot speak about sexual violence in the home, and where adults do not know what to do or say if they suspect someone they know is sexually abusing a child.

We must have to understand it and only then we can teach our growing Buds about this heinous crime. And more important is to acknowledge people and society about all these so that those who have something in their mind they can know these thing and if not of criminal mind ( a habitual Offender) will try to change.
