In an attempt to find lasting solutions to the problem of child sexual abuse in India, MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar organised an open house discussion to titled “Why we need to start talking about child sexual abuse and protect our children” in New Delhi on November 30. The discussion was panelled by actor and activist Pooja Bedi, activist Harish Iyer and foundations such as HAQ, Change.org, and RAHI.
