It is sad that an issue as crucial as Child Sexual Abuse lies buried in a lack of openness. Children continue to get sexually abused in our own homes.
Children who are sexually abused comes from homes and families like ours. They are touched, fondled, photographed in the nude, exposed to pornographic material, forced to kiss, masturbate and perform oral sex, raped and sodomized.
Sexual Abuse shatters the child’s world of innocence and trust and has a devastating impact throughout her or his life.
RAHI addresses this impact on the lives of women and children and creates social conditions to end Child Sexual Abuse. To be able to make a larger impact and reach out to more people, RAHI seeks your sponsorships (donations).
