Males are raped, abused, sodomised, assaulted and also brushed aside and forgotten. Males can become a survivor and speak out.

We need to change this perspective and raise awareness for male victims and survivors. You are a survivor. Please read this article by Cg Akhila.

A few years back one of my old friends shared shocking details about his ordeal as a teenager. He narrated his story of being molested as at the age of fourteen. While returning alone from school one day in Chennai, he became a victim of sexual assault which later pushed him into a world of loneliness and depression. On asking he replied that he was alone that day because his parents could hardly imagine that their son can get sexually harassed too. From the next day on, he preferred taking a bus rather than that regular auto. He changed his route but could never cope with the fear and embarrassment until he became vocal about his past.
