Mangaluru, 03 Aug 2017: The final year students of the department of journalism, St Aloysius College held an awareness talk, Let Yourself be Heard and you can be Saved, on Child Sexual Abuse for the students of Class IV, St Aloysius Gonzaga School, here, on Wednesday, August 2.

 

 

The session included a video that dealt with the topic in a comprehensive manner along with an interactive session among the students. The talk focused on the concept of “good touch and bad touch” and emphasized on honesty between a child and parents.

 

The objectives of the talk were to encourage the students to speak out in case they face such situations, to understand the sanctity of each body and to respect each other’s as well. The topic was of relevance due to the rising cases of child molestation and rape which may lead to depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and propensity to further victimization in adulthood.

 

The talk’s sole purpose was to instill confidence in the students to speak up and let them be heard and that they too are responsible towards the society in upholding their moral values.
