Why is child sexual abuse such a huge global problem and what can we all do to help protect and heal children at risk?

My guest this week is Pooja Taparia, founder of one of the world's largest NGO's addressing child sexual abuse.

In the U.S, the estimated lifetime economic burden of Child Sex Abuse is $9.3B, and in the U.K, annual costs are estimated at £3.2B. With 50% of 1.3B people in India experiencing some degree of CSA, this is a global issue & so how can we help protect every child’s right to be safe from sexual abuse?

Pooja Taparia shares alarming global statistics on child sexual abuse and detailed ARPAN's multifaceted approach to tackle this issue. ARPAN's strategy includes prevention through education in schools, counselling for survivors to mitigate long-term trauma, and broad-scale empowerment programs. The NGO's reach, impacting millions, highlights the effectiveness of their methods which can be adapted in various communities to protect children.

Pooja explain how we can all help protect the children of our world so that they may grow up free of trauma - as healed and healthy stewards of our planet.
