Namitha wants parents to educate their children about sexual abuse. At a recent event, the actress said, “Recently, there have been several instances of sexual abuse in our country. These incidents happen even when parents try hard to protect their kids. We must not only stick to providing education for our children. We must also teach them about good touch and bad touch. At a time like this, when society is suffering, we must all ensure that the children are equipped to deal with people who seek to violate them. That is true protection.”
