NEW DELHI: ***ual violence against children remains a taboo subject in India despite reports of children being raped, molested and trafficked for *** surging by almost 70 percent in the latest data, activists and government officials said on Tuesday. There were 14,913 reported *** crimes committed against children in 2015 against 8,904 the previous year, says the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), in the most recent published figures. These include rape, molestation, exploitation for ****ography, and trafficking mi**rs for ***.
But in India’s socially conservative society, it remains ig**red within families and communities, where victims are afraid to come forward for fear of being blamed for the abuse.
"From all the types of violence that we talk about when it comes to children’s safety, this is the one that is least mentioned. This is the one with a ‘hush hush’ attitude around it," said Razia Ismail from the India Alliance for Child Rights.
"We are told **t to talk about it as it will ruin and disho**ur the family’s reputation. But if we don’t prevent it, doesn’t it disho**ur our society, doesn’t it disho**ur India?"Ismail, who was speaking at the launch of a campaign by the charity World Vision to end child ***ual abuse in India, called for civil society groups, the government and the public to break the silence around ***ual abuse in order to end it. Child *** abuse is widespread in India.
A 2007 government survey found that 53 percent of children had faced one or more forms of ***ual abuse, but few reported the assault to anyone.
The NCRB data in 2015 showed that almost 95 percent of child *** abuse crimes were committed by people k**wn to the victims such as parents, relatives, neighbours and teachers.
The Indian media has in recent years voraciously reported cases of child rapes and other incidences of ***ual violence against mi**rs, but in most homes and schools, children are **t given any type of *** education, say activists.
