Sexual Abuse Awareness
One of the main project of this year is Awareness of Sexual Abuse program to the Girl students of various schools each month. Faculty of this program was Meera Ramesh. Total Beneficieries of this project were 3200 girl students. Total cost of the project was Rs.36000/-.
We held a seminar about the right touch and the wrong touch through power point presentation in all the schools. It was explained to them that there was no need for anyone to touch their lips or mouth, their chest region, their private parts or their back. We should not lose our original selves in the midst of a challenge whereas we should convert the challenge to our
advantage and we should prove our potential was emphasized.
With this mind set the children were slowly informed about the various problems which a girl may have to face in the present day. Moreover if they are subjected to emotional or psychological stress they should immediately seek guidance and counseling from parents, teachers or professionals. If they happened to face difficulty in managing gender attraction the need to ventilate their feelings and to get help to steer through those turbulent emotions was clearly elucidated. It was explained to them that such thoughts are biological and that they need not feel guilty about it. And also we teach about the problem through cell phone
chatting, emails and cinema. All this has given them an awareness of their own selves and during the interaction section their doubts were clarified all the more.
