Defining abuse
On Wednesday afternoon, psychiatrist Dr Armaan Pandey addressed health professionals, students, teachers, and counselors on 'Sexual Abuse - Insights and Prevention'. Dr Pandey's focus is on sexual abuse in children, but he did touch upon adults and spoke about both victim and perpetrator. The doc began by saying, "The mind is the concept. The brain is the organ. Let us define sexual abuse - it is an action by a person who fully understands what he or she is doing. It may be verbal or physical but it is sexual in nature and is unwanted by the person it targets."
