“Aadabiddaku Rakshagaa… Kaduludam” Programme Prethignna


Government hereby issue the following guidelines to launch a multi – sectoral drive to empower women and children: -


All Departments and District Collectors shall launch programs to empower women and children.



1.
All Schools, Colleges and Educational Institutions are to hold Awareness Camps to sensitise the Teachers, Employees and Students and to make action plans for protection of potential victims in their territories.

2.
All institutions such as Hospitals, Companies, Factories and Corporate entities are to hold Awareness Camps to sensitise the employees and to make Action Plans for protection of potential victims in their territories.

3.
Labour Department should organize Awareness Camps for un-organised labour such as rickshaw pullers, auto drivers, hawkers, migrant workers, etc., to sensitise them to the issue and to identify and protect children at risk.

4.
Seminars shall be held on women rights and good touch / bad touch for school children to empower them to understand when the actions / intention of someone may not be correct and take action to protect themselves.

5.
Self – defence workshops shall be organized for all young children and adolescent girls to enable them to handle any situation where they feel helpless / attacked.

6.
Awareness sessions shall be held for men and boys about the rights of women, legal implications of sexual offences and the concept of ‘consent’.



Role of Sadhikara Mitras: All Sadhikara Mitras shall take action to spread awareness in the community regarding -



a.
Children should use a safe, well – traveled route to take to and from school.   Isolated areas should be avoided.

b.
Children should be made aware of the dangers of accepting rides from or talking to strangers.

c.
Children should be encouraged to talk with their parents if they ever have a problem with a stranger or even a friend or a relative.

d.
Teach children their rights: When children are taught they are special and have the right to be safe, they are less likely to think abuse is their fault, and more likely to report an offender.

e.
Sensitize on Acceptable Behaviour when around children: Children are very susceptible, curious and are likely to enact the behaviour they see in their close ones.   The family should be sensitized on what is the acceptable behaviour around children and teach the adults that bad behaviour on their part will eventually lead to irreversible damage on their child.

f.
Sensitize the community on what child abuse is : Physical and sexual abuse clearly constitute maltreatment, but so does neglect, or the failure of parents or other caregivers to provide a child with needed food, clothing, and care.   Children can also be emotionally abused when they are rejected, berated, or continuously isolated.

g.
Recognize the signs of abuse : Unexplained injuries aren’t the only signs of abuse.   Depression, fear of a certain adult, difficulty trusting others or making friends, sudden changes in eating or sleeping patterns, inappropriate sexual behaviour, poor hygiene, secrecy, and hostility are often signs of family problems and may indicate  a child is being neglected or physically, sexually, or emotionally abused.

h.
Report abuse : If you witness a child being harmed or see evidence of abuse, make a report to Officers of the Women and Child Welfare Department or Police Station.   When talking to a child about abuse, listen carefully, assure the child that he or she did the right thing by telling an adult, and affirm that he or she is not responsible for what happened.
