Review for Sakshi, New Delhi, , India
Working with Sakshi has been a challenging but rewarding experience for me, as I have learned a lot, witnessed the courage and resilience of the survivors, the dedication and compassion of the counselors, and the support and solidarity of the partners. I have also seen the impact of our work, as we have reached out to thousands of children and adults through awareness campaigns, workshops, helplines and legal aid. I am proud to be part of this project, which is not only a professional endeavor, but also a personal mission for me. I believe that every child deserves a safe and happy childhood, and that we can make a difference by breaking the silence and stigma around child sexual abuse. While understanding the behaviors and impacts of CSA, I also learnt how important it is to give time to yourself to heal and then help others in healing. Testimonies and real-life instances give you the heads-up that the cause you are working for isn't obsolete, it requires action. It's not just a social cause, it's prevention of this vicious cycle of sexual abuse and healing, physical and emotional. And for me a little bit more, an identity and a reason to believe in myself- and a reminder; until you start believing you can't make a change. Apart from this, soft skills essential for the 21st century have been effectively and efficiently carried forward across the youth, thus empowering them for their lifetime and enabling them to empower others around them.
