A live session was arranged on June 4 at 7:30 PM, on the topic of Child Sexual Abuse, the live session was presented by Amoli Trust which specifically works on spreading awareness on child sexual abuse and aims to prevent child sexual abuse. The live session was led by Haneet co-founder and social media head of Amoli Trust.

The session began with her introducing the Amoli Trust and how it came to, she explained how the trust was found by her and her college friends. The trust necessarily gives lessons on child sexual abuse to students of classes ranging between 3rd and 5th. The trust tries to teach students that what behavior comes under abuse and what does not, she also talks about the importance of imparting such knowledge to kids about such a crucial and sensitive topic. Further, she discusses how 95% of the cases of child sexual abuse are perpetrated by those who the children know priorly. She discusses that the main motivation of the trust is to prevent any child from feeling that horrible feeling that many people have felt in their childhood, moreover she explains why it is necessary to protect kids from sexual abuse as in many cases those who were abused grow up to become abusers themselves. She also expressed that it usually is very difficult for a child to express or open up to others if they have been abused especially, young boys. She moves onto explain how children usually blame themselves for such an incident, therefore Amoli Trust works on to make a change in society and children’s life, they wish that the children should realize that it is not their fault and should speak up for the injustices happening to them.

Concluding the live session she talked further on how Amoli Trust came to be and where it stands now and also the Trust has helped the friends that found the trust further deepen their friendship.
