It is a fact that millions of girls and boys worldwide are being sexually abused within homes and outside. They are abused by families and known persons. The perpetrator can be anyone who exploits the child's vulnerability to gain sexual gratification. It involves mental, physical and emotional abuse of a child through overt and covert sexual acts, gestures and disposition - when informed consent or resistance by the child victim to such acts is not possible. It can also include activities which do not involve direct touching. Afreen Khan talks about Child Sexual Abuse and her story to overcome incidents that have shaped her over years. Afreen narrates the importance of giving the right education to child to help them identify good vs. bad touch. Aafreen Khan is a storyteller and spoken word poet, who addresses child sexual abuse.
