Every 15 minutes, a child is sexually abused in India, shows government data. It remains one of the darkest secrets of our society. But recent conversations aim to shine light on the issue.
A mother who shares a strong bond with her son would believe her child is sharing everything with her. Threaded together with candid and intimate moments, a video narrates the story of one such mother-son duo. If there are behavioural changes in the child, parents unintentionally tend to ignore, considering it normal signs of the child acting out. But this video tells you to stop and pay attention.
The video is part of a newly launched campaign #JoinTheDots, which aims to educate parents on how to be vigilant of their child’s changing behaviour. The initiative by ActionAid India focuses on preventing the incidence of abuse as well as encourages adults to address such violence by making the effort to See, Listen and Act.
