On the occasion of National Girl Child Day, a thought-provoking session was organized at Sri Lalithambigai Medical College & Hospital (SLMCH) to raise awareness about child protection and safety. Dr. B. Ananya, M.Phil., Ph.D., a distinguished Clinical Psychologist, delivered an insightful talk on Child Sexual Abuse, emphasizing the importance of educating young minds about safety, awareness, and empowerment.

The session provided students with valuable knowledge on identifying, preventing, and responding to abuse, fostering a culture of open dialogue and resilience. The event underscored the institution’s commitment to nurturing a safe and supportive environment for the holistic development of young girls.

Through such initiatives, SLMCH continues to advocate for the rights, education, and well-being of the girl child, reinforcing the message that every girl deserves to grow up in a world free from fear and discrimination.
