On the occasion of Birsa Munda Jayanti, We are launching a campaign called-“Tribal Heroes”. Under this campaign, we’ll introduce you to unsung tribal legends bcz as you may have noticed, there is hardly any mention of them in school curricula.
STAY TUNED💥

@rubaroo_in @ChildSafetywk It is hard enough for survivors to accept what they are dealing with, this simply pushes them back further, aggravating what they are already going through and making it impossible to confide in anyone let alone access any mental health services.

#ChildSafetyWeek2021

[Pukaar - An Initiative @pukaar05]

Survivors suffer psychological trauma to an unimaginable extent. Trivialisation of/ Ignorance towards their mental health problems makes the situation worst.

Question 3. Reply with resources/suggestions below! #NowIsTheTime #ChildSafetyWeek2021 #EndCSA #CSAAwareness @ChildSafetywk

[rubaroo_in @rubaroo_in]

We agree @pukaar05 ! Shame and Stigma are some of the main hesitations that parents/trusted adults feel, when it comes to talking about body safety in our society. So, #NowIsTheTime to speak to your children about body safety. @ChildSafetywk

[Pukaar - An Initiative @pukaar05]

Body safety Education involves talking about private body parts. This becomes the biggest reason for hesitation.
So, if even they want to start a conversation with children, they often don’t know the right words to use.

Question 2! #ChildSafetyWeek2021 #NowIsTheTime #CSW2021 #EndCSA #CSAAwareness @ChildSafetywk

[Pukaar - An Initiative @pukaar05]

The responsibility of Parents/Guardians comes first, to start conversations around body safety.

#EndCSA #NowIsTheTime @rubaroo_in

[rubaroo_in @rubaroo_in]

The answer is usually No. So, our first question for today is:
How can we make body safety education accessible to larger child populations?
#ChildSafetyWeek2021 #NowIsTheTime #CSW2021 #EndCSA #CSAawareness #Accessibility @ChildSafetywk

[Pukaar - An Initiative @pukaar05]

As a child, I hardly received any body safety education, despite coming from a humble background and studying in a decent school.
The main reason is, people feel it’s an uncomfortable topic and it will somehow end innocence of children.

@AadhyaRajput27 @lovemattersinfo Don't think preaching abstinence is gonna help them. Young people should be provided information and the decision should be on them. #TheSexEdChallenge

1) By sensitising parents& teachers.
2) By encouraging leaders to talk about it.
3) By incorporating it comprehensively in curriculum, even before 8th standard.
4) By encouraging more movies, tv shows etc. in this regard.
5) By highlighting the element of intersectionality in it.

[Love Matters India @lovemattersinfo]
