The present study explores the detrimental experiences of sexual abuse in childhood among 36 students in the age group 17-28 years. Employing a qualitative research design, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather the nuanced perspectives of participants. The insights obtained from participants were analyzed through thematic analysis to extract major themes and sub-themes. Participants described the degree of abuse as touching and rubbing their private parts such as their genitals and breasts. Many participants reported that the abuser tried to use him/her to masturbate. The majority of the abusers were known to the victims, such as relatives, family friends, friends, neighbors, etc. Public places like autos, trains, classrooms, family and social gatherings like marriages, birthday parties, even victims' homes etc., are the most vulnerable places for the victims. Underlining the perception for males, participants reported that they can never trust any male. Even their future relationships were negatively affected. Psychological and emotional detriments included pathetic, uncomfortable, traumatic, shivering, and panic attacks. The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing the grief experiences of sexual abuse in childhood while fostering safety at the familial and social level for victims. Providing individual, familial, and societal awareness through basic education, sex education, such as knowledge about good touch and bad touch with applied timing and pressure to touch body parts by anyone, etc., can help prevent victimization from sexual abuse in childhood. In conclusion, the study revealed several significant findings regarding the prevalence, nature and degree of sexual victimization among the participants. The findings are intended to support the development of effective prevention strategies and interventions from victimization of sexual abuse in childhood.
