Re: Progress Indian style 80,000 children blind due to starvation
World: South Asia
India’s hidden incest
By South Asia Correspondent Daniel Lak
“Delhi organisation RAHI said 76% of respondents to its survey had been abused when they were children - 40% of those by a family member.”
“I was abused between 16 and 18 everyday in the summer holidays by uncle, cousins, brother-in-law, one man I did not know and two servants. Finally I found the courage to stop them one by one.”
“One of the reasons there hasn’t been any data collection is because it is not considered to be an Indian problem.” (TRULY PATHETIC)
