Parents, caregivers, educators, and providers need to become educated about sexual abuse in order to help children reduce their risk of victimization. It is essential to initiate discussions about safety with children and to take time to reinforce safety messages and rules at home, school, daycare, etc.
Working to end sexual violence is the responsibility of all of us. Society plays a vital role in this endeavor. Everyone can help by taking a hard and painful look at the attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate sexual violence, and then assess how these behaviors and attitudes support rape and/or child sexual abuse. The Women’s Center-Youth & Family Services offers a comprehensive prevention education program which strives to empower children and adults by teaching them to recognize potentially harmful situations and what skills to use for self-protection.
