The sexual abuse of children is a horrible reality, and many are unaware of its extent. Research has shown that as many as 53 per cent, or one in every two children, are victims of child sexual abuse.

Moreover, a robust and specific law against child sexual abuse must be put in place to protect the child and vigorously punish the abuser.
