A survey carried out this year by the union ministry of women and child development shows nearly 50 per cent of children between the ages of 5 and 18 in 13 states across the country are sexually abused at school. And 53 per cent say they have suffered some form of sexual abuse - at school or elsewhere.
"Children must be taught to be aware of their bodies, and not let anybody touch them inappropriately, like in the private parts. Schools and parents must both train the child to report something like this and also keep a close watch for any abnormal behavior in the child. Teachers who abuse children are mentally sick."
The survey also brought out the wide prevalence of corporal punishment - a form of physical abuse of children - in schools.
