The Urgent Need for Improved Sexual Health in India

India faces a significant challenge with sexual violence and child abuse. According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), crimes against women and children have seen a disturbing rise over the years. In 2020 alone, over 28,000 cases of rape were reported, and child abuse cases are similarly prevalent, with many going unreported due to societal stigma and lack of awareness. These statistics highlight an urgent need for improved sexual health education, awareness, and robust support systems. Addressing these issues is critical to creating a safer and healthier society for all.
