'It’s not just a women's issue'
RAHI was at Jadavpur University on 29th August, 2017 speaking on incest/CSA from the perspective of visibilising the issue on campus. 'We cannot exclude boys and male survivors from the conversation around incest/CSA,' emphasised our Kolkata representative, explaining how boys may also be subject to sexual abuse through childhood and into adolescence, under the guise of 'ragging' by peers and seniors.
Incest/CSA can have long-term effects on women as well as men, but recovery is possible. If you'd like to organise a workshop or training with RAHI Foundation, reach out to us at info@rahifoundation.org
If someone trusts you enough to tell you about an incident of sexual abuse, you are in an important position to help the person recover. Here are some suggestions that can help you provide positive support. Remember, sometimes it is important to just listen
If you haven’t been trained to handle any further intervention, you can guide the person to RAHI, a safe space and support for survivors of sexual abuse. Click here to contact us.
