The sample size of 15,000 under-18 children will respond to stories on various kinds of abuse, and share such experiences. Close to 5,000 adults also would have revisited childhood. The aim: to find out if they suffered any abuse—sexual or physical. The study, a joint venture betweenUNICEF, the department of women and child development and NGO Prayas, is expected to contribute to an institutional framework for child protection.
