Personal Safety Education and Sexuality are interconnected concepts that provide children with essential knowledge about their rights, bodies, emotions, and trusted adults. This education empowers children to understand and respect their bodies, recognize safe boundaries, and identify trusted adults, giving them the tools to protect themselves from abuse, particularly sexual abuse. By building these skills, children are equipped to stay safe and confident in their interactions.
Personal Safety and Sexuality
Why Sexuality Education?
Sexuality education is about understanding oneself — feeling comfortable with one’s body, identity, roles, rights, values, and relationships. Children are frequently exposed to sexuality through media such as TV, advertisements, and social platforms, often receiving complex or confusing messages about body image and identity. Without guidance, they absorb ideas that shape their perceptions of themselves and others. Sexuality education provides children with the tools to build a healthy self-concept and navigate these messages thoughtfully.
