Child sexual abuse is a form of child maltreatment that affects one in five children in Europe
Children who have suffered sexual abuse are more likely to have social, emotional, behavioural and physical severe difficulties that can affect their life.
But, contrary to what many people might think, child sexual abuse can be prevented.
Several studies have argued that teaching children on sexual education from a young age has positive effects and can reduce the rate of sexual abuse by half.
This program is meant to
-
Offer information and tips for preschool teachers that can help them prevent and deal with child sexual abuse from their classroom.
-
Provide tools for families of preschool children for the promotion of children well-being and the prevention of sexual abuse.
-
Offer tools for teachers and families for a respectful, healthy and inclusive sexual education from early ages.
