NSS unit of Islamia College is planning to hold more such workshops in Srinagar and other districts of Kashmir valley. "I fail to comprehend how people continue to remain silent when it comes to sexual abuse of children. Everyone knows about it but people still prefer to remain in a deep state of denial, unless the brutal rapes of little children surface and make headlines. |
