India has the world’s largest number of child sexual abuse cases. What is incredible is the fact that more that 60% of the perpetrators are known to the child. In a country where victim-blaming is a norm, it is very difficult to come out as a survivor of sexual abuse.
Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar has been working tirelessly in this zone to crush the veil around this taboo.
In an interview to The Quint, he talks about his campaign #ProtectTheChildren and how he is building a narrative to bring India’s worst kept secret out in the open.
Stay tuned to The Quint for all the updates from Chandrasekhar’s upcoming campaign.
