Awareness of good and bad touch among children

Abstract

In present scenario, many cases are reported on social media and other platforms like newspapers and television, where we hear about cases of child abuse mainly sexual abuse of children. These news are mainly about young children and adolescents especially girls who get molested or abused by an adult known person or a stranger. At their age, it is very difficult to say also if they understand that wrong things are happening to them. Because in a country like India, much awareness is not built through education at young age to make children and adolescents familiar about such things. They remain oblivion to such education and thus cannot even distinguish people with bad intentions from good ones. The effects of such an abuse on the child and family are much much more than what we can even imagine. Their mental health and overall development is retarded with such incidents occurring to children and young girls. It becomes very difficult for them to live a normal life and they find it hard to get acceptable by society afterwards.
