A Charity Show for Chhori
“One of my dad's close relatives touched me on my private parts and tried to repeat it again and again over the course of time. He used to approach me whenever I would be alone especially while climbing up the stairs or alone in a dark room."
A member of Chhori recollects these bitter experiences of sexual abuse from her childhood days. These experiences are not only her but of most of all girls in our society even today. But such cases are kept always hidden because of social stigma and other social reasons. Considering the alarming situation of child this fact, Chhori is dedicating its voice to address the issues of child sexual abuse in Nepal. It applies different method of awareness to sensitize the mass.
