Highlights Of #Justice4EveryChild Telethon: An Initiative To Stop Child Sexual Abuse
#Justice4EveryChild campaign aims to raise funds to support child victims of sexual abuse and rape who are fighting their cases in court
Child sexual abuse and rape is a national crisis for India: NR Narayana Murthy, Founder & Chairman Emeritus, InfosysChild sexual abuse and rape is a national crisis for India. According to the National Crime Records Bureau report for 2019, three children are raped, and five children are sexually assaulted every hour in India. This is a shame. Justice For Every Child is a national campaign, which ensures that the victims of child sexual abuse and rape, get timely justice and mental health support to enable them to heal, and to continue their lives with dignity & freedom. This is an initiative of Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation. The campaign seeks to intervene in 5,000 cases of child sexual abuse and rape, in 100 fast-tracked special courts, in 100 districts in the country, with the highest backlogs of cases of child abuse, sexual harassment, and exploitation. Over the last one year alone, the Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation has rescued over 10,000 children from exploitative child labor and trafficking. As a part of the campaign, 5,255 cases of child sexual abuse were identified. My friends, I believe that every Indian citizen is an important stakeholder of the Justice For Every Child campaign. I urge every Indian to do his or her bit and help in the creation of an accountable and sustainable child protection ecosystem. Come friends, let's join our hands and support Kailash Satyarthi Ji's call for ensuring justice for every child, and help every child to be just a happy child.
