Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a universal problem with grave repercussions & Five years ago Sahyog embarked on its journey to respond the issue.

It was a world defined by the language of silence, a silence which speaks & a silence, to which, we at Sahyog try to give strong voice.Sahyog feels humbled & proud that we have touched directly almost 1 lakh Children, assisted them to overcome their trauma & move enriched life

 CSA is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation. Forms of child sexual abuse include engaging in sexual activities with a child (whether by asking or pressuring, or by other means), indecent exposure (of the genitals, female nipples, etc.), child grooming, or using a child to produce child pornography. The sexual abuse of children is a fundamental violation of their rights. It is a universal and complex problem.
