1. Health Professionals

Aangan trains medical professionals on the issue of CSA since they can play a vital role in the early detection and sensitive handling of CSA cases. Unfortunately, the content covered in most medical schools curriculum is limited to the forensic and medical treatment aspects of CSA, and does not focus on emotional and behavioral symptoms and cultural myths and realities.

Aangan has been working with the Rawalpindi Medical College (RMC) for the last four years, providing sensitization seminars to the students of Community Medicine. Aangan's work has received positive feedback from the faculty, and they have expressed interest in formally introducing lectures on CSA in their community medicine and psychiatry courses. A formal CSA curriculum on the behest of RMC has already been developed and a preliminary training to conduct this curriculum has been held with professors of four departments (Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Community Medicine and Gynecology).
