PROMOTING AWARENESS AGAINST CHILD ABUSE
Working in the direction of one of the Prime Objective of "Prasanchetas Foundation" to Promote Child Health Safety and Development, a special workshop on Awareness against Child Abuse for the Adolescent Students of classes 6th and 7th, facilitated as separate sessions for boys and girls of GMSSS in Khuda Ali Sher.
Present times of
Vulnerability and Insecurity demands, the utmost need to "SHATTER THE
SILENCE TO PROMOTE CHILDREN SAFETY". To address this crucial issue most
sensitively a very thoughtful and stimulating workshop was facilitated by Ms.
Manjula and Ms. Pooja from Prasanchetas Foundation, to primarily promote
Prevention, Intervention and Remedial Measure, against Child Abuse.
During the session, with the help of
some special audio visual aids along with practical demonstrations where in a
doll was used as a prop, maximum sensitivity was instilled to help these
innocent minds and tender hearts become more:
1. Aware and vigilant about various
types of Child Sexual Abuse and the different ways of how children are
exploited, along with the ill effects of such abuse on a child's mind and
personal development.
2. Students were made to
differentiate between the good touch and bad touch, so as to avoid or prevent
any sort of exploitation or abuse.
3. They were also explained about
their secret body parts, which are just
not to shared with anybody, i.e. neither anyone should be allowed to touch
these body parts, nor they should touch anybody else's.
4. Students were asked to be more
cautious and alert even when accompanied along with their close relatives or
friends.
5.
They were encouraged to be more alert, confident and expressive to
report against Child Abuse and speak about the problem with their parents,
teachers or friends.
6. Students were made to shout out
"NO" and "HELP" and
remember to " YELL & TELL" when themselves in problem, or find
anyone else in problem.
The workshop was concluded with this
promise from the students to be responsible for their own safety and security
and not to permit or allow anybody to do anything wrong or damaging with them
and their body. Most importantly students were made to realize that they should
not be guilty of any of the elder abusing them, but rather doing the wrong by
keeping quiet and not reporting it immediately.
