A key to child sexual abuse prevention is adults being confident and competent on how to prevent it. Here is some information for online training courses you can do today!
We shouldn’t just teach children to help themselves. Would we expect a child being beaten by a parent to protect themselves? We as adults must be a crucial part of child sexual abuse prevention. Research shows that children are not the best prevention targets and, while education is good, it doesn’t seem to create less abuse or more reporting. Adult behavior change is a very important part of prevention (Read the research).
TALK Hong Kong estimates that 12% of kids in Hong Kong experience child sexual abuse before their 18th birthday. This means that whether you work with youth, are a parent, or are simply a member of a community, it is highly likely that someone you know or care for has experienced, or is currently experiencing, child sexual abuse. It’s going to happen whether you are prepared to deal with it or not – unless you stop it from happening. And the good news, it can be stopped.
