"Sexuality for women -- the issues of the body are closely related to the issues of personal existence, and ironically, young women in India are still not well-equipped to handle these issues.
This is so because of the Indian social structure in which talking about sex may be considered “modern”, but handling related concerns and issues are taboo questions that are preferably shoved under the carpet.

Dr. Sheba Rakesh, Executive Director of Pankh, stressed the need to awaken the masses towards such heinous atrocities which have large scale social ramifications in the form of human trafficking, prostitution, dowry and domestic violence and other forms of harassment, both emotional and sexual against womenfolk.
