RE: Another shocking story of Zainab :-(

in #childabuse7 years ago

@nainaztengra - I am truly horrified to think of individuals who can do this to a child. Why do we need stories from mythology when such demons are walking amidst us.
My head hurts when I try to think of what we can do to stop such things from happening. Any ideas? My wife and I try to support as many needy families around us to ensure their girl children are educated and protected but that does nothing to save children from such incidences. My wife believes that girls need to empower themselves with self defense and she actively promotes that concept in her sphere of influence but again, that is more applicable to older girls. What can we do to protect the younger ones . .. I will keep on thinking. One thing is for sure - in countries like India and Pakistan, we must teach our boys to have an inherent respect for ladies - no matter what and stop treating them as Objects of desire. Secondly - we must spread knowledge to stop such abuse from happening due to wrong beliefs about sexually transmitted diseases getting cured with such acts ( In many cases of child rape, apparently the rapists were trying to do that as a cure for STD!!)
Thanks for highlighting this. Hope the message spreads. Upvoted full

Horrific!!! And all too often all over the world. Speechless. I agree with you 100%.

You are right, education is must for the boys, but the major problem is our huge population and with that is coming huge illiteracy, I also relate this problem with the elder people in the family, somewhere their actions in their households create these demons. There are millions of children who have very unhealthy childhood, when they grow up there is so much bitterness in them that they want to vent it out somewhere. When I was in India I was working with the children in slums and remand homes, I could feel the rage in them because of their circumstances and they would pick up fights for very irrelevant things, they would not have respect for anyone.
I have a plan for future but as of now I am building up on my resources and working on it. I want to start my own centre to support these children education wise and in every possible way to make them better humans, but as you know there is lot of funds required, I am hoping that steemit will enable me to achieve my goal.
We will surely work out something together. I need one year time as of now to prepare myself for starting this venture. Thank you very much.
