We The People: Kabir Maan Who Has Taught Over 15,000 Kids About Child Abuse And Sex Education

There is no vaccine for this sexual abuse epidemic. The legal help arrives only after the heinous act. Kabir feels that education is the only medicine. He has made more than 15,000 children aware about child sex abuse, menstruation health, and sex education in the past three years. He has worked with NGOs, government, and private schools, and also with people in night shelters, slums, and even those living under flyovers.

Kabir finished his teachers training and a diploma in journalism from Jamia Milia Islamia. He taught in a government school and also worked as a music therapist. He found his vocation at an NGO named 바카라�Parwarish바카라�. 

바카라�The programme was called 바카라�Aao Baat karein바카라� and at the age of 25, it was the first time I had sex education in my life,바카라� Kabir recollects. The training he received for the programme and from the experience of conducting sessions, he gained clarity about his gender identity as well. He learned being a transgender person.

Kabir says, 바카라�The taboo associated with this subject makes it difficult for parents and even teachers to talk about it. All the while the children exposed to the abuse are scarred for life. We need to stop covering up the abuse first.바카라� 

Kabir has lost count of the number of times children trusted him with their sexual abuse stories. He contacted the child helpline and registered a complaint every time, but nothing happened because the parents stepped in and forced children to retract their statements.  

A powerful activity he uses in his sessions is the 바카라�NO바카라� exercise. The teachers and the children are taught to shout 바카라�NO바카라� at the top of their voices when they feel sexually threatened. 바카라�It jolts the victim out of shock, and might even scare the attacker away,바카라� he explains.
