To Indian Prime Minister, Human Resources Development Minister and education officials :

By the government’s own statistics, more than half of all Indian children experience sexual abuse. Studies show that in-school training on the prevention of sexual assault can help end this epidemic. We urge you to immediately institute training in schools across the nation to help protect children from abuse.

End child sexual abuse
This is as bad as it gets.

An 8 month old baby in India was raped by a 28 year-old man. He took her upstairs under the guise of playing with her and instead, muffled the infant’s screams with a gag, and raped her, devastating her internal organs. Now, after emergency surgery, she’s lying in hospital, fighting for life.

India leads the world in child sexual abuse - one child every 15 minutes. And a government study found thathalf of all children suffer sexual abuse -- most by family members.

But children with in-school training are more than 3 times more likely to report abuse. If we show massive support, a government official agreed to work with us to launch school curriculum on the prevention of sexual abuse in the state capital. We will reach millions and that’s our launching pad to getting critical training programs in schools across the country. Join to break the devastating cycle right now.
