Child Sexual Abuse Widespread in India Amid Neglect, Group Says - Bloomberg
India needs to tighten child- protection laws and improve oversight of orphanages to curb sexual abuse of minors amid soul-searching over the scale of rape and assault in the country, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.
Sexual abuse is widespread in homes, schools and residential care facilities in India, the investigation found, and existing child protection programs fail the most vulnerable. More than 7,200 children, including infants, are raped every year, while many more cases go unreported, the New York-based advocacy group said in its 82-page report, citing previous studies and its own research.
“India’s system to combat child sexual abuse is inadequate because government mechanisms fail to ensure the protection of children,” said Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Children who bravely complain of sexual abuse are often dismissed or ignored by the police, medical staff, and other authorities.”
A brutal attack on a medical student aboard a moving bus in the south of India’s capital, New Delhi, on Dec. 16 shocked the nation and reverberated around the world. The gang rape of the woman -- who died from her injuries a fortnight later in a Singapore hospital -- triggered street protests and spurred calls for swifter and harsher punishments for sexual assaults.
Responding to the public furor and recommendations drafted by a panel of former judges, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s administration pushed through changes to the criminal code without waiting for parliament’s assent.
Trial Opens
The trial of five men charged with conspiracy to abduct the 23-year-old woman, sexually assault and murder her, started Feb. 5 in a fast-track court in New Delhi. A sixth accused has been judged to be a juvenile and is facing a separate judicial process. All have pleaded not guilty.
In a case that an official of the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights described as “insane,” the Human Rights Watch report details systematic abuse of orphans and other children at a residential care facility in Haryana state, next to the capital.
Girls were made to have sex with strangers for money, while the son-in-law of the home’s director had molested children, according to the report. The commission’s investigation team were told children were suspended from ceiling fans as punishment.
Poor awareness, social stigma and negligence across society increase the suffering of many of India’s children, the group said in its report. India is home to 430 million children, about one in five of all under-18s in the world.
The rights group said that greater efforts must be made to make sure the guilty are punished. Government agencies charged with protecting children need greater resources, and all institutions housing juveniles must be routinely and thoroughly inspected, the report concluded. Medical staff responding to accusations of sexual abuse should be trained to minimize invasive examinations.

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Abuse of Indian children 'common'
Two out of every three children in India are physically abused, according to a landmark government study.
Commissioned by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the study says 53% of the surveyed children reported one or more forms of sexual abuse.
This is the first time the government has done such an exhaustive survey on the controversial issue of child abuse.
Abuse of children, particularly sexual abuse, is rarely admitted in India and activists have welcomed the study.
Releasing the report at a press conference in the capital, Delhi, Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury said: "In India there's a tradition of denying child abuse. It doesn't happen here is what we normally say.
"But by remaining silent, we have aided and abetted the abuse of children."
Thousands quizzed
Describing the findings of the study as "disturbing", Ms Chowdhury called for an end to the "conspiracy of silence".
The issue of child abuse has been raised in the past by non-governmental organisations, but this is the first time an attempt has been made by the government to document the scale of the problem.
The study took two years to complete, and covered 13 states where 12,247 children (between five and 12) and 2,324 young adults (over the age of 12) were quizzed.
Dr Loveleen Kacker, the official in charge of child welfare in the ministry, compiled the report.
She said the study had revealed that contrary to the general belief that only girls were abused, boys were equally at risk, if not more.
She said a substantial number of the abusers were "persons in trust and care-givers" who included parents, relatives and school teachers.
Ms Chowdhury said the findings of the study were disturbing
Dr Kacker said a disturbing finding of the study had been that 70% had not reported the abuse to anyone.
Besides surveying physical and sexual abuse, the study also collected statistics on emotional abuse and neglect of girls.
The study called for efforts to make society aware of the rights of children and officials say the data will help them formulate better policies to protect children.
'One too many'
The report has been welcomed by child rights activists who say such a study was sorely needed in India.
Roland Angerer, country director of Plan International, told BBC News it was "very important that the government has finally taken up the issue".
"It doesn't matter what statistics say. Whether the percentage of abused children is 75 or whether it is 58 is unimportant. Each child that is abused is one too many," he said.
"It's important that parents and adults must learn that children are not property, that they have rights too."
In India, parents are often reluctant to admit child abuse and sexual abuse of children involving family members is almost always hushed up.
The study also collected data on how girls are neglected
Perhaps that is why - as the study shows - more than 50% of the young adults surveyed wanted the matter of abuse to remain within the family.
Only 17% of the abused young adults wanted harsh punishment for the abusers.
Officials and activists say the biggest challenge for the authorities and society is to ensure that children are encouraged to report abuse.
India is home to almost 19% of the world's children. More than one-third of the country's population - 440m people - is made up of children below 18 years of age.
According to one study, at least 40% of these children are in need of care and protection.
The country has millions of child workers.
Many are employed in hazardous industries and also in homes and small restaurants, which makes them vulnerable to violence and exploitation.
Last year the government banned children under 14 from being employed in homes and at restaurants to avoid their exploitation and abuse, but millions of children continue to work in these sectors.
India is a signatory to various international laws on the protection of children, but implementation of these laws is often lax.
no they are not that is the issue.
no we are not concerned we are laughing at your concern and their day dreaming.
