Child abuse is a grave issue in our country, yet it is never openly spoken about. The innocent, nurturing childhood of the abused is destroyed for someone's few moments of pleasure or power.

Sometimes, you think nothing bad has ever happened to you - until something brings it all back; a woman shares a childhood incident of sexual abuse that continues to play on her mind today. 

Bystander intervention by speaking up, reporting a crime, and following it up does give results, even if not satisfactory every time. But that did not faze these inspiring women who are committed to getting a rapist punished.

We had taken a road trip with some family friends when I was in the 8th grade. Their son touched me against my wish in the car, and I was unable to tell my parents because of the shame I felt.

On Diwali day, a patient contacted me online to ask if ejaculating on a virgin girl's vagina could make her pregnant. When I came to know the girl was a 10 y.o. child, I decided to report him.
