The individuals, belonging to all communities have experienced these acts in a major or minor form. The girls have been subjected to these acts more as compared to their male counterparts. In rural communities in some cases, birth of girls is not appreciated, more preference is given to male children. As a consequence, they are subjected to neglect and mistreatment. In urban communities as well, the girls and boys are subjected to these acts. The victims do experience various types of health problems from the physical and psychological perspectives. Furthermore, their concentration abilities get impeded on various tasks and activities. Hence, it is necessary for the individuals to form positive viewpoints in terms of various factors and treat each other with respect and courtesy.
