Young female children facing sexual harassment

I recently found out that more than 300 female children faced sexual harassment last year – half of the total sexual harassment cases. Most of these girls were below 12 years and some even younger than six years. Two-third of these cases weren't taken to the police station. These statistics have come from two different human rights and child rights related NGOs. 

Rapid judgment and punishments must be launched against these crimes as soon as possible. I urge the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs to take stern action against child repression.
