If pictures speak louder than words, so do numbers. Praja Foundation recently released a report that revealed teenagers under the age of 18 accounted for 63 per cent sexual assault survivors. Around 712 rape cases were reported in India last year and, in 2014, the figure stood at 609. Back in 2014, 56 per cent survivors were below 18 years of age.

The report shows that in a span of five years (from 2011-2012 to 2015-2016), the frequency of rape cases has increased by 289 per cent, while molestation cases rose by 287 per cent.
