IDHU NAMMANADU INI IDHU NADAKAKOODATHU   

We developed project RED BUTTERFLY MOVEMENT with the core aim of putting an end to CHILD ABUSE. Any child can be a victim of sex abuse. However, those who have understood what is and is not allowed – and understand the rules of intimacy – are better able to identify an assailant. They are more likely to dare to say no, and more likely to quickly talk about a sustained or attempted assault. Lonely children that are left to themselves, and those who lack guidance in their relationships with others or who have not understood the rules of intimacy (incestuous families) are the main targets of child sexual abuse. Sexual assault always has serious consequences, regardless of the age of the victim. The effects vary depending on the child, the type of assault, how often the assault occurred, the relationship with the abuser and the therapeutic and legal support following the assault. Aftereffects always occur, in various ways, at different times of life. Apart from the possibility of physical damage and personal injury arising from a rape, a child may suffer from multiple psychological consequences such as guilt, shame, fear, anxiety, anger, loss of self-confidence, depression, anxiety attacks, chronic pain, social isolation, distrust of all adolescents, adults, difficulties in having healthy sexual relationship and more.

Sexual abuse may also lead the victim to become a perpetrator. It is possible to overcome the horror of sexual assault by calling upon our services.  Red Butterfly movement (RBM) spreads awareness and educates children in the most vulnerable age groups/situation about physical assault and sexual abuse of children.  We educate children between the age group 5 to 14 through visuals and interactive sessions. The campaigns cover both normal and special schools, residential associations etc. We also organize sessions on educating parents, teachers and school staff. We invite likeminded people to join in the movement.  Let us pledge to make this world a safer and happy place for children. Our slogan is Idhu Nammanadu Ini Idhu Nadakakoodathu. Child abuse should not happen anywhere in our country.
