Propose of workshop:
When we talk about ‘Child first', we think of poor children, their welfare, paying fees, midday meals, distributing notebooks, improving study environment, health checkup camps etc. extra. But there is one area where children from little upper class society also can get affected and that is child sexual abuse. The purpose behind this workshop was to create awareness in this area. Sexual Abuse (CSA.) Every child is vulnerable to abuse. Most children quietly suffer, and don't talk about it, but We need to talk about it, so that WE CAN PREVENT IT and CURE IT. The main objective is spread awareness on this issue to be able to prevent it happening to the child.
It was well attended by Parents, teachers and Rotarians from Navi Mumbai.
