imagine the situation easily.

belief and explained that in our country, most of the boys were abused.
(2) Strangers are dangerous: to explain this point Resham madam, shared her
childhood experience and how she bravely faced it. Approximately 90%
of bad touch comes from the known person. It is easy for them as they
know the family, child and all related details.
(3) Importance of saying ‘NO’: Children should not allow others except
parents to touch their four Private body parts e.g. lips, chest, between the
legs front and back side. Through the role play Resham madam
explained, how to run away from the situation, take another elder’s help
and most important, share it to your parents; don’t hide anything from
them. Say ‘NO’ to secret games, closed door games.
(4) Social Media & Crime: Resham madam explained how precautions to be
taken while using social media, internet. She explained this topic for elder
children e.g. 5 th std. onwards. She explained how criminals’ misuses
photos like, fake DP how they blackmail, and ask money. Children
should hide their real information, avoid posting family photos.

whether it was intentional or accidental. If it is happening again and again
then it is intentional. But if it is accidental, think twice before blaming
someone, it may ruin his life.
