Honor

Hearty Kudos to Anna, the Tireless Crusader against this Abominable Issue, and for that who have expressed support through their comments.

Yes, Sexual Abuse, and that too Child Molestation, is Heinous thing.

And it is Absolutely Disgusting that some peoples and societies, instead of Sympathising and Rendering Support to the Victim, choose to Victimise the Same further.

And it is Sad that the Parents of the Abused choose to Shield, Hide and at times even Kill the victims, as they prefer that to the Perennial (Verbal) Abuse the Victim and the Family will have to face.

Though society is chock full of police who will not even bother to accept reports of crime to investigate, nor will try to find the culprits; to judges who care the LEAST to what is happening to the citizen., the Media, Individuals, and Powerful Individuals at that, and Organisations are taking up the Fight.

I go to the Extent of recommending the Withdrawal of Security to politicians, judges and officials, so that they may experience what is Sexual Abuse, being the Victim of Acid Throwing, Extreme Poverty, and such.

Let us not just Pray, but WORK for a Better World.

This leaves victims without recourse.

Pakistan – Human Rights Violations

Pakistan is just one country where these factors come into play [1].  The UN estimates that 36% of girls and 29% of boys in Pakistan experience sexual abuse.  An estimated 90% of street children have been sexually abused [2].

The situation is complicated by the fact that women have so little power over their own lives, and so few options other than staying in an abusive marriage.  Mothers are, in effect…
