“The Survivor Chronicles” is a new series by the Bachpan Bachao Andolan where adult survivors of sexual abuse talk about the trauma they endured. Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi laid the foundation of the child rights movement, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, in 1980 in India.

Sangita was sexually abused twice as a child.

The first time, it was in grade two, when her school bus conductor kept hugging, kissing, and touching her inappropriately. It lasted for six months until she told someone. What followed was a time of struggle, where Sangita started wearing loose clothes because she thought that could prevent it.

The second time, a cousin who was sleeping over tried to molest her thrice.

Now, Sangita is married and healing. She hopes to educate children about speaking up against sexual abuse.
