Child sexual abuse is a form of child abuse that includes sexual activity with a minor. It is estimated that 9.2% of children are sexually assaulted, according to the 2010 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That is close to 1 in 5 girls, and 1 in 20 boys. The overwhelming majority of children are abused by someone they know: a family member, a close family friend, a member of clergy, or a youth leader. Child sexual abuse is a painful traumatic family secret that has rippling effects upon the entire family. However, therapy for families who are impacted by sexual abuse can help them heal from the abuse and create tools to assure no further abuse will happen in their family, and hopefully for generations to come.

The HEAL Foundation is a Mumbai based charity which  envisions  a community that upholds, understands and values the rights of its children by protecting them from sexual abuse.
