As an EVS teacher, you wish your students to be aware of their own safety around adults so that they (can take care of themselves and) do not fall prey to sexual harassment. Which step you think is most appropriate ?

  • A.Teach them about POCSO Act, 2012
  • B.Teach them to avoid strangers
  • C.Hold workshops about 'Good Touch' and 'Bad Touch'
  • D.Hold self-defence workshops for girl students

Answer: C

The most appropriate step is to hold workshops about 'Good Touch' and 'Bad Touch'.

Primary children need age-appropriate, practical awareness: recognising unsafe touch, saying no, getting away and telling a trusted adult. Good touch-bad touch sessions give them exactly this.

The POCSO Act, 2012 is a law that protects children, but teaching young children its provisions does not build personal safety skills. Telling them only to avoid strangers is misleading, since most abusers are known to the child, and self-defence workshops for girls only leave out boys, who also need protection.
