You are not alone.

This website is set up by the Bachpan Bachao Andolan (“Save the Childhood Movement”), headquartered in Delhi, India, to validate, empower and educate survivors of sexual abuse and child victims, as well as their loved ones and supporters. Our-Mission The website will be a platform for survivors, child victims and their loved ones to seek help in a safe and supportive environment. This website also provides comprehensive information to first responders viz. medical personnel, teachers, social workers and the police on what to do to tackle the issue of child sexual abuse in India. In this website, we use the term “victim” for the childhood experience and “survivor” for the adult experience and impact.

We believe that breaking the silence is a healthy step towards healing and it is our aim to facilitate a safe and supportive online support group for survivors and child victims who want to speak out and reclaim their voices. Our-Mission We recognize that speaking out is a difficult step, therefore, you have the option of not having to identify yourself when writing to us.

At times, your path to healing may seem never-ending and arduous, but take courage. Remember you are not alone. We are here to support you on your journey.

Violence is predictable, preventable, and a public health concern; therefore we are working to mitigate violence in the society, with specific focus on reducing vulnerability of children and women through preventive education programs, training on gender sensitisation, positive learning, community mobilisation, and forming multi-disciplinary team consisting of government and non-government stakeholders to address the cases of abuse/violence with sensitivity, as well as suitably intervene in policy formation.
