Udaipur, 21st November 2022 – Hindustan Zinc under its Jeevan Tarang programme organized awareness sessions on good touch and bad touch for deaf and mute students from across the schools of Ajmer, Bhilwara & Udaipur. With the rapid increase in the number of child abuse cases, awareness related to consent, safe touch and unsafe touch, has become a vital topic of discussion. With the ideology to build a safe community, more than 350 students from class 1st to 12th were sensitized about their body and touch.
The session covered topics such as types of touch, ways to identify good touch and bad touch, consent and were encouraged to say No to practices that feel to be invading their personal space. Further, key factors were discussed to differentiate between both the actions and to make the session engaging, visuals were used to denote the actions and to educate the students. The awareness session was concluded by a Q&A round wherein the students voiced out their doubts and concerns which were resolved by the instructors. The objective of the session was to create awareness among children about child abuse and to further prevent crimes such as molestation and to save children from trauma.
