Lesson Content

Domestic Violence At Home And Child Security

Domestic violence refers to the abusive behavior in a family, often targeting women and children. It can include physical violence (such as hitting and beating), emotional abuse (like threats and insults), and even neglect. Children often suffer when they witness or experience violence at home.

Ways Forward for Child Security:

Speak Up: Children should talk to a trusted adult if they feel unsafe at home.
Learn Safety Rules: Children should know how to protect themselves from dangerous situations.
Seek Help: Children should learn where to go for help, such as a teacher, police, or social worker.
Community Involvement: The community should come together to protect vulnerable children.
Education on Gender Mutilation: Awareness about harmful practices like female genital mutilation should be raised in communities.

List two steps children can take to protect themselves from domestic violence.
