That was a really interesting post, Esha, and such an important topic. It is something that unfortunately affects children all around the world, and more definitely needs to be done to help children speak out about their problems, to people who will not judge them, and who will help them to safety, whilst preventing the abusers from doing the same to other later. It must be very difficult in countries where these kinds of organisations are not in place, and where children can often face more problems by speaking out, without anyone to look after them. This article in the Independent explores the UN statistics on child abuse worldwide.
