The Sexualisation of Childhood Sexual Hazards Faced by Female Infants in India: A Study

Recent survey said, “One in every five children does not feel safe because of the
fear of being sexually abused in India”. The survey conducted by humanitarian aid
organization World Vision India with a sample of 45,844 respondents also revealed
that one in every five do not feel safe because of the fear of being sexually abused.
The child can be taught personal safety, personal space rules, and safe and unsafe
touch, just as we teach our children about how to protect the body from heat, cold,
fire and injury. Ask the child to come and tell you if anyone ever breaks the body
rules. Give the training and prevent activities to the uneducated Parents for against
the now day children abuse.
NA very small percentage of child victims of sexual abuse actually reports it
(12%). The reporting is often ambiguous because the young child may not have the
vocabulary to explain what has happened or feels too shy to narrate the incident
clearly. We can encourage the child to disclose by accepting and understanding
what the child is trying to convey.
Parents must educate their children about sexual advances or threats and protects
them from abuse through the concept of unacceptable “bad touch”. We conduct
pan-India programs engaging parents, teachers, communities and even children
about sexual abuse. Adolescents are involved in elaborate projects on Sexual and
Reproductive Health (SRH). They are implementing the online system for children
to report sexual abuse.
