With the increasing cases of sexual abuse against children in India, UNICEF and the Indian government are taking active steps to build awareness and fight against it.
And for this initiative, they have roped in Ayushmann Khurrana, who is famous for bringing important yet neglected causes to the forefront with his films.
Ayushmann shared his thoughts on his new endeavor,
“As a socially-conscious citizen, I want to spread the word on matters that need immediate attention. POCSO (The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act is a very important step that the government has taken to make people aware about the protection and legal support that the act offers against child sexual abuse.”
According to an industry insider, Ayushmann is extremely happy to be a part and voice of this cause. It seems he gave an immediate yes when approached by UNICEF and the Ministry of Women & Child Development.
Recently, the abuse cases against children have been on the rise, which made many parents scared for their kids’ safety.
At IFORHER, we hope this meaningful campaign will not only help the victims to fight for justice, but would also encourage many to break their silence and raise their voice against child abuse.
