As a young student dedicated to the long-fought struggle for the universal protection of even the most basic human rights, it is shocking and saddening to turn on the news to hear about yet another instance of child sexual abuse in India, that yet another child's sense of safety and peace has been robbed. It has been estimated that around 53% of minors in India have been subject to various forms of sexual abuse, with both boys and girls equally affected. It is unacceptable that these victims are often unable to seek help and speak up about their experiences, or that even spreading awareness about this subject is difficult, because social norms dictate that this matter is taboo. In this sea of darkness, The H.E.A.L. Foundation is one of the few organisations committed to the prevention of CSA, and rehabilitation for its survivors. If you believe that sexual abuse is one of the most horrific acts of violence, my request is simple - join and support the cause in whatever little way you can.
