According to the website of United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) India, two out of three school going children in India are physically abused says the national report on child abuse by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in 2007. The crime is rampant in every single district of the country.
Boys are marginally more likely to face physical abuse (73 per cent) than girls (65 percent).
Corporal punishment in both state-run as well as private schools is deeply ingrained as a tool to discipline children and as a normal action. But most children do not report or confide about the matter to anyone and suffer silently.
