The Bad Touch
There are few things as traumatic as child sexual abuse. According to a 13-state national study on child sexual abuse conducted in 2007 by UNICEF and other agencies, and commissioned by the Indian government, over 53% of children in India are subjected to sexual abuse but most don’t report the assaults. The just- released book, The Bad Touch, offers hope by profiling a few who chose to open up about it.
