The nightmare for the 53% - Child sexual abuse is more prevalent than most people realise, and often is carried out in the confines of the home, by someone the family knows and trusts.

How and why it happens - Sexual abuse occurs with boys as much as with girls, and can leave lifelong scars on the individual.

Help from 1098- Talking about sexual abuse is difficult, but parents must encourage their children to talk about anything that bothers them, and should also be receptive to
non-verbal signals. For help, a child in distress or a concerned adult can call CHILDLINE at 1098, the 24-hour toll-free helpline.

Workshop for children -Parents must be alert, and can also help their children be aware through this workshop,which psychiatrists recommend be held at regular intervals.

What You Can Do- The Protection of Children Against Sexual Offences Bill is in Parliament, and viewers can send their support for the speedy passing of this Bill into a strong law against child sexual abuse.
