It took a minute to set in. My own horrendous story of child sexual abuse seemed insignificant now.
Being born a girl in an Indian family for me was like being a free for all sex object. The abuse was shoved under the carpet and no one speaks about it or comprehends what it did to me as a child and what it continues to do to me as a woman.
I started out on a journey that didn’t promise understanding. It was an accidental answer.
It started in India and was scattered with families all over the world where Indian families were misplaced. The burden that arises when a girl child is born.
Molestation. Sexual abuse. Incest. Infanticide. Child brides. Child prostitutes. Homicides.
My book touches a little of all but most importantly, a list of signs to look for if your babies are being sexually abused. Also, a glimmer of hope for other sexually abused Indian children who are now grown and still seeking answers as to why this remains such a prevalent silent crime.
