My cousin is touching me in my private parts. What shall I do?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 18 year old girl. My cousin brother is kidding me and touching me in some private parts. He is also doing the same with my fellow cousin sisters. But I am not quite sure what it is? Please help me to find a way. Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It seems to be sexual abuse as described by you, so keep in mind the following things: Be firm and warn him. If he did not stop, then go straight to your parents, talk to them and tell all other cousins also. Do not allow him for taking any advantages, which you think unusual. If nobody listens to you, then do not hesitate to call to some NGO (non-government organizations) related to sexual harassment or to police. Do not worry about him as he has no psychiatric issue even however you have not told about him much here.
