UNICEF and Indian Medical Association partner against Child Sexual Abuse (CSA)

UNICEF  and  the  Indian  Medical  Association  (IMA)  have  joined  hands  to strengthen the response of medical practitioners in identifying, reporting and treating cases of child sexual abuse.

Announcing the special partnership, UNICEF India and the IMA said that they will equip medical practitioners with a detailed understanding of diverse facets of child sexual abuse (CSA), along with relevant legal provisions. Medical practitioners are often the first point of contact in a child sexual abuse case, and are required to take prompt action to ensure immediate and effective treatment of the child.
