CSA Prevention: An Adult Responsibility
Empowering teachers, parents, youth, and caregivers to build a protective shield around every child.
Available for schools, colleges, and communities in Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Delhi, and Mathura.
Why This Session is Crucial
Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) prevention is fundamentally an adult responsibility. Children's safety and their understanding of boundaries depend entirely on the communication, environment, and behavior modeled by the adults in their lives.
Unintentionally, adults can normalize unhealthy practices through silence, body shaming, or misplaced overprotection, increasing a child's vulnerability. This session empowers adults to recognize their critical role in prevention, early identification, and timely response.
Key Facts: 1 in 2 children in India faces sexual abuse, and 90% of abusers are known to the child. Prevention starts with us.
