In 2007, the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) conducted a study across 13 Indian states, revealing that one in two children experienced child sexual abuse (CSA). Alarmingly, only 3% of these cases were reported to the police. The report highlighted that 9 out of 10 children knew the abuser, and 1 out of 3 abusers were direct family members like father, grandfather, uncles etc.

 

Safe Childhood is a comprehensive program with interactive, narrative workshops to prevent and fight child sexual abuse for children and caregivers. We provide Personal Safety Education, First Responders Training for adults, handouts and resources.
