Half of Indian children face sexual abuse
*
By Iftikhar Gilani*

NEW DELHI: One in five of children in India are physically abused while more than half have faced some form of sexual abuse, a UNICEF backed government study has revealed.

“Much of the sexual violence is inflicted by family members or other people residing in or visiting a child’s family home - people normally trusted by children and often responsible for their care,” says the study conducted with the help of UNICEF, Save the Child and a Delhi based NGO, PRAYAS. …

The more I read on Hindustan, the more I learn. Honestly, I had no idea that paedophilia was an Hindustani tradition, norm and culture.

I only have one question. Which century to the Hindustanis think this is?

This is nothing to laugh about.

Children are Children no matter which country they are from.

India should do a better job in protecting its citizens from this kind of abuse.

The problem is that India has over a billion people.

I think India's population at 300 Million would have been a lot better.

Pakistan should take note at India's problems due to a very high population

Pakistan's population should not cross 200 Million or we will be deep trouble

It's funny how Indians and Pakistanis poke fun at each other's problems, whenever highlighted in the international media. Correction, It's not funny to me anymore.. it's highly disappointing and it pisses me off now... why don't you guys understand the SAME problems exist in both countries?

To my Pakistani Brothers poking fun at India's child sexual abuse problem, dont you know how acute the problem of Child Sodomy is in Pakistan? Sexual abuse of children is in high numbers in Pakistan also..

To my Indian Brothers poking fun at Pakistan's honour killings, don't you know how many female babies are killed or dumped in rural India?

India and Pakistan are both pathetic when it comes to Human Rights Violations...

vedic i dont even believe this story, to tell you the truth. poking fun yes, but doing it seriously in context no

glad the threads been cleaned up

Re: Half of Hindustani children face sexual abuse: UNICEF

^^ Yep.. I would like to see the official media release by UNICEF.. reading it on our pakistan's dailytimes doesn't give it 2 much credit.. but in either case... what I said its true.. Indians and Pakistanis should realize a lot of their problems are common !

Re: Half of Hindustani children face sexual abuse: UNICEF

i think this was about physical abuse, which you'll know back home they wont think twice before a quick wack. your brotherly love is welcome:)

Re: Half of Hindustani children face sexual abuse: UNICEF

^^ it was also about sexual abuse...
anyway.. i grew up in a mixed indo-paki household and shyte i got wacked only once in my lilfe... (i think i deserved it though lol)

Re: Half of Hindustani children face sexual abuse: UNICEF

i still dont believe it. 50% of children sexually abused in our culture. not going to happen :confused:

Re: Half of Hindustani children face sexual abuse: UNICEF

^^ Yeah I find it very hard to believe too.. half the kids being sexually abused.. but I wouldn't know.. I haven't spent much time in either India or Pakistan... but from the Indians or Pakistanis I know... they all seem to be treating their kids like precious gifts from god... I guess the story could be a lot different in the middle and lower classes back home..

Re: Half of Hindustani children face sexual abuse: UNICEF

Just type that headline in the search bar and you'll find many Hindustani news websites reporting the same the and similar stories.

The intention to flame here was very obvious. One hopes however, that certain topics would be spared being reduced to point scoring, just out of basic decency.

Threads like these will not be tolerated, and we will move from warnings to bans very quickly.
