For some people, home is the safest place. While for some, in their homes, lies the darkest of horrors and fear. There are children in homes which are not safe for them. Which are vulnerable at a stage that they can be abused by a known person. The roar of their abuser overpowers their voices and makes them mute.
As parents, the time has come to start the talk with your children to tell them their superpowers. Teach them about body safety and ensure that their power of voice is ignited against any kind of abuse. Aware children about their power over their body, the power to judge the touch, the power to trust, power of voice, etc.
We can have a mask to protect ourselves from coronavirus. However, a mask won’t protect children from sexual abuse but knowledge will. We urge all the parents to build a safe space for your children where they can share their hearts out with you. This is your time to have a conversation with your children in a child-friendly manner.
