No more victim-blaming

The sexual harassment of children in our society is nothing new, but we rarely speak about it. A few weeks ago, I was speaking about this issue with a few of my friends. There was six of us and every one had had a bitter experience with sexual harassment or abuse. One had been harassed at the mosque, others at home by cousins, uncles, neighbors… Every story was a reiteration of the pain children, especially girl child, are too familiar with. I also shared my experience.
