Children are valuable treasure for us. They are called bundle of joy and we as parent love every inch of them. Children are fun to watch, full of energy and they are like flowers, innocent and vulnerable once they are crushed like petals of flowers, you cannot fix. Children suffers heinous form of torture world-wide such as violence, sexual abuse, and exploitation. In this era our children are insecure. There is no limit of violence face by children. It can happen anywhere with any child and to those places where they are supposed to be safe such as their Home, School, and in many cases, they get exploited at the hands of their own family members.

How many of us impart body safety knowledge in our children? The answer is “None of us”. We teach our children all sort of safety for instance be careful with the hot pan, look both the side and walk-through zebra crossing while crossing the road and what not. Sometimes it gets too late untill you realize that you should have been taught this earlier.

So, we as a parent can start teaching this at home and teacher should ensure that children are also safe with them as after parent, teachers paly a most significant role in children life. Therefore, it is teachers’ responsibility to ensure safety in preventing child sexual abuse.
