Our focus is data collection with the aim of bringing out studies and findings that will establish the reality of incest in India. We aim to broadly cover the  impact, prevention and treatment  aspects of the issue. All our research is used for further intervention in this field. We have brought out the following research papers

Research and Documentation

Voices from the Silent Zone (1998)
 
 This is RAHI’s research report based on statistics of 600 women who shared their experiences of incest/CSA. It is the first research of its kind in India on incest and brings out crucial data on prevalence, abusers, forms of abuse, disclosure of abuse and issues faced by survivors. This data has been disseminated widely and forms the basic body of research on incest/CSA in the country.
 
 
Incest in Middle Class Indian Families
 
 Learnings from a Support Centre (2003): This is a research paper based on RAHI’s findings from its clinical work with adult women survivors. Through retrospective evidence, the paper provides an insight into survivors’ definitions and descriptions of their abuse experiences, the relationship they share with their abusers, the ambivalent feelings resulting from such abuse and the impact incest has on their psychological, emotional and sexual development from childhood to adulthood.
