About Child Sexual Abuse :

Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is a violation of a child's body as well as of the trust, implicit in a care giving relationship. This violation can have a significant impact on how the child, as a victim and later on as an adult survivor, sees and experiences the world. The effects of child sexual abuse can be damaging but need not be permanent.
