Victimised...

of brutality & torture beyond limit

History has proved several times that weakest has always been suppressed, tortured & exploited. The reason is its inability Victimisedto unite, organise & express their agony. Unfortunately, this is true with millions of children in homes, schools, factories, agri- fields, & brothels. Their silence oft en speaks tons about the trauma they oft en go through. It is estimated that more than 130 million girl children & women have gone through some form of genital cutting. United Nations Population Fund (UNPF) revealed that more than 5,000 girls & women are killed each year in the name of honour killing. Most child pornographies are the severe form of sexual brutality. Millions of street children are abused by drug dealers & armed groups. An estimated 2.8 million children are affected by HIV/AIDS making them the instant cases of castaway of an already fragile society. Those who are not castaway per se, perpetually wait for help. Incidents of teachers severely beating up pupils is not a stray incident either in India or in many developing ones. While many of the rest, prefer to take their own lives away rather than facing the humiliation of failure. While those who remain alive, trudge along, dying a death every day.

The U.N.'s figure of 5,000 dishonor killings per annum globally is from 2000. Many experts believe the figure is higher now.
