How many of you agree that sexual harassment has everlasting impact of the mental health of the victim?

If your response to above question is yes then read the entire article to know how you can safeguard yourself and your kids from the harmful society.

Reading the news paper or watching news is not fun or informative anymore. We keep seeing the news of a small kid being misued, abducted or even raped. Similarly young woman being harassed, manipulated, cheated and misused is a very common news that we come across in our day-to-day life. What we don’t see in news is even a boy kid or male do face these issues and even their life becomes a hell after going through such issues.

Recently there was a web series named “Suzhal” in Amazon Prime that has depicted this issue in a very detailed manner. Initially it seems that a boy had kidnapped a teenager girl out of his desire towards attaining her. But as the series goes on, we find out that they are lovers and it was a planned escape. Further down the lane, everybody receives a great shock with the murder of these two lovers. This murder is being shown from various perspective but finally its disclosed that it was the result of child abuse. Even the heroine runs from the village and faces severe health issues because of the trauma that she had undergone in her childhood. Abuser being very close to heroine’s family, she is not able to reveal his identity and misdeed openly to everybody. When it’s confirmed that even her sister has been affected by same person, that’s when she decides to take revenge.

This can happen to anyone and 90% of cases the offender is someone close to the victim. How do we overcome such issues? What are the various steps to be taken once we discover the issue? Can we take law in our hand and punish the offender on our own?

Now, I have a solution for this issue. Yes, you people read it right. Awareness is the key to success. Only when we are aware of what is sexual abuse that a child could face, What is the sexual harassment an adult can face, and how do we recognize the symptoms in a victim, how do we help them recover or as an individual how do we face such challenges and help ourselves from becoming victims of such issue?
