Have you always wanted to devote sometime for a good cause,
but didn’t know where to start? This is your chance to sign up as a volunteer
for CHILDLINEs Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Program (CAAAP) in Bengaluru !
Since January 2011, CIF has been running the Child Sexual Abuse
Awareness Programme (CSAAP) in schools across Mumbai for children from 2nd-6th
standard that is designed to take to the classroom basic concepts of Safe
Touch, Unsafe Touch and Personal Safety Rules. This program is now initiated in
Bengaluru and aims to reach out to 1 million children in the next 3 years.
CSAAP addresses Child Sexual abuse issue through the medium of
storytelling, using simple graphics comprehensible by children to break the
communication barrier about the issue between parents and children and
encourages children to break the silence about a 'touching problem' and openly
communicate on the subject with a trusted adult.
CSAAP is the preventive approach taken by CIF. The aim is to reach
out to those children who are at the receiving end of such abuse, who remain
unaware of what is happening to them and don’t know where to seek help. It
enables children with the necessary tools to prevent abuse and resources to
report abuse hence creating a more informed and active generation of students.
We have reached out to over 4 lakh children through over 1000 schools in Mumbai
and now aim to do the same in Bengaluru.
