No amount of reminders is less when it comes to your child’s safety! 

No amount of reminders is less when it comes to your child’s safety!
In India, home to 19% of the world’s children, it is estimated every second child is exposed to sexual abuse and violence. The Indian National Crimes Records Bureau (NCRB) reports a child is sexually abused every 15 min and 53% of children report abuse by a parent, relative or school teacher. The prevalence of child sexual abuse (CSA) in high-income countries is 20% for females and 8% for males but in India, the estimates vary between 4%-66% for females and 4%-57% for males.
Here are some precautions you can take to help protect the children in your life;
1. Be involved in the child’s life, ask questions and keep close tabs on them.
2. Encourage children to speak up and keep an open non judgemental channel of communication open.
3. Constantly educate them about boundaries & private parts.
4. Choose caregivers carefully.
5. Avoid sending your children alone with male relatives until they reach a certain age. This sounds controversial but better safe than sorry.
