Child Sex Abuse is receiving enormous attention in India. The leading Indian
filmmaker, Aamir Khan, has vividly portrayed the plight of abused children
through his recently concluded TV series 'Sataymev Jayte' (Truth Alone
Prevails). I commend the work of British Asian Trust in tackling the girl abuse
and exploitation throughout South Asia.
I
am proud of my association with the leadership of British Asian Trust which,
under the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales, is doing defining work in reaching
out to the vulnerable and at-risk girls. American India Foundation
(www.aif.org) and BAT are collaborating on several projects that aim to improve
livelihood opportunities, through skill upgrades, among marginalized girls and
women in India.
