A workshop hopes to empower children with knowledge that will protect them from abuse
Listen to this article :
It was the rise in the number of child sexual abuse cases that first got arts-based therapist and counsellor, Dr Bijjal Maru, to think about ways of empowering children. A good start, she felt, was by providing them adequate knowledge about their own safety and introducing them to body awareness.
At a new workshop for kids, Maru will explain the difference between good touch and bad through games, drama, stories, meditation, and visual arts. The session, open to all children, will be led by Abhivyakti, a group that conducts workshops on mindfulness, healing story-circles, interconnectedness, self-worth and happiness.
