Recommendations for Counseling Children Who Have Experienced Sexual Abuse

The interaction between a therapist and a child who has been sexually assaulted and is looking for assistance with a problem is referred to as counseling. A counselor helps children better comprehend the issues they are facing. Counseling is crucial for children who have been abused, are dealing with the effects of the abuse, or who are not being supported by their families when they speak up about the abuse. When the victim is very young, the counselor will definitely need to spend a lot of time with them. The counselor may also consult books and other sources to provide appropriate information on sex education and legal support. In terms of rape and CSA, 1.8% per one lakh people, India’s Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) Act, 2012 placed 97th overall.
