Description

The "Safe Touch" Awareness Program hosted by the Rotaract Club of Bangalore was an engaging and educational initiative aimed at equipping children with essential knowledge about good touch and bad touch. The program featured a series of interactive sessions and activities designed to empower children with the tools to recognize and respond to potentially unsafe situations. During the program, children actively participated in discussions led by volunteers, where they learned about the difference between positive, comforting touches (good touch) and uncomfortable, inappropriate touches (bad touch). An animated video was also showcased, depicting scenarios of good and bad touch in a child-friendly manner, which further reinforced the key concepts. As a hands-on learning component, each child received a specially crafted worksheet. This worksheet contained thought-provoking questions and scenarios related to good touch and bad touch. Children enthusiastically worked on the worksheet individually or in groups, applying their newfound understanding to real-life situations. The "Safe Touch" program was not just about teaching concepts; it was about empowering children to protect themselves and seek help if they ever felt uncomfortable or unsafe. By the end of the program, the children demonstrated a clearer understanding of personal boundaries and the confidence to identify safe and unsafe situations. The Rotaract Club of Bangalore is committed to the safety and well-being of children in our community. Through initiatives like "Safe Touch," we aim to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive. We encourage parents and guardians to continue the conversation about personal safety at home and reinforce the valuable lessons learned during the program.
