Detailed Description

India has the dubious distinction of having the world’s largest number of sexually abused children, with a child below 16 years raped every 155th minute, a child below 10 every 13th hour, and one in every 10 children sexually abused at any point in time.

Generations of Indian children have watched their parents remain silent on sexual issues. We learn this silence, which is further complicated by a tradition that demands that every child respect and obey all elders. And so children obey and remain silent, no matter what the elders do.

This project aims to break the communication barrier about the issue between parents and children and encourages children to break the silence about a ‘touching problem’ and openly communicate on the subject with a trusted adult.
