Sexual abuse by known people during festivals is often overlooked. Festivals bring people together but can also give abusers—often family members or trusted people—opportunities to harm women and children. Trust and cultural pressures, like keeping family secrets or respecting elders, make it hard for survivors to speak up. In this festival-themed episode of Gulabi Sambad, we talk about such abuse during festivals, with cases from Nepal’s Terai region, featuring Sushma Sharma, who counsels children affected by sexual violence in Madhesh Pradesh.
