Communications Research Strategies's video: Child Sexual Abuse Awareness by Uncle Sargam

Daily 8 children become victim of sexual abuse in Pakistan. There were 3002 reported cases of Child Sexual Abuse last year, whereas the number of unreported cases is even higher. Uncle Sargam highlights dire situation of Child Sexual Abuse in Pakistan and role of parents/caretakers in its prevention. It is primary responsibility of parents/caretakers to guide children on good touch and bad touch and educate them that how can they save themselves from being sexually abused. Accompany your children outdoors, or ask a trusted member of the family to accompany your children in case you cannot. Keep an eye out for your children, monitor their whereabouts. If you have a caretaker/domestic help at home, don’t leave your children alone with them. Submit details of the caretaker/housemaid to your nearest police station as a precaution. Designate a place for the children to play in. Make sure a parent/guardian of at least one of the children is present at the venue and keeping a watchful eye. Also, set a particular play time for the children. If they want to play for longer, make sure a trusted individual is present with them. Don’t allow your children to enter strangers’ houses, including neighbors you don’t know. Don’t allow strangers inside your house/area/locale. Don’t send your children to the shops/markets alone. Talk to your children about abuse. Teach them about the good touch and the bad touch. Tell your children to report any inappropriate touch to you immediately. Tell your children to shout and say ‘Don’t touch me!’ if they feel uncomfortable with any touch.
